Update on the #demon #slayer #knife. I’ve drilled the initial #cross into the blade & I’m slowly cutting the small spaces between each drill hole.

It takes literally a moment to go from success to immediate failure when forge welding. This is what happens when you’re trying to post about how successful your going to be and stop paying attention to what you’re doing. Failure.... oh well we’ll start again soon.

Just a little side project while I wait for the run oil to dry on the handle.

A little #highlight of the #knife handle material that I’ll be using for that curved #blade from previous #post.

#finished! This is my #first 100% made by me, #damascus #knife.

Last #post for the #weekend from the shop. Putting together a hook board for my wife’s aprons using #kansas black walnut and blue epoxy with copper highlights.

I was trying to #teach my youngest son how to #forge #weld. It wasn’t successful, but learning did happen and we plan on trying again soon. #blacksmith #fatherandson #gasforge #anvil #forging (at Rinaldo's Blacksmith Shop) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br9CCHHjqAK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1f0jif8rbzzjk

I’m a little #lessthanpleased with how this turned out. I was hoping the #silver would pop a bit more but instead I get mild contrast. #mokumegane #jewelry #bracelet #copper (at Rinaldo's Blacksmith Shop) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrtlabrDY0l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p5l2qjhkn3le

#today was the first day I’ve ever gotten my father out in the #forge with me.
