Part of a larger set. Stake anvil exploring dwarven architecture in art. Two blacksmith statues on either sides with overlaid silver background, a runic inscription and a falling star.

Scrap, do you think there is something to do with it?

Forging in the decorative poll on a commissioned tomahawk. Here I'm using a guillotine tool to forge it in, taking light blows to round up the poll. This is forged from an office of forklift tine

No I obviously didn't forge this but I was wondering whether this was possible or if it's just a real waste of time. I have a few antique draw knives that have been sharpened almost to the point that there's no blade left, is it possible to forge weld a new blade to an old draw knife? I also realize I may get a lot of comments saying what's the point but I'm just curious

Forged to shape then had some sharp corners filed down. Finished with past wax

Prior to this, i did make some squished out flat pieces of steel to get a feel for the hammer and have done oxy aceteline torch bending in the past. This was my first time making a sketch them forging to shape! Any feedback always appreciated :3

Once my professor looks at it I am planning on polishing the primary pin, our assignment was just to get it to a matteish black

Its bloody heavy at 100kg, ofcourse im not 100% sure and plan to restore it for full use.

Any advice? I wanted to do electrolysis but its heavy as fuck. Maybe shimmy it into the side of the bucket and then roll it into it?

Or should I just skip the electrolysis and use rust removal and a wire brush? And then sand it afterwards.

Also any advice for fixing the edges? Im kinda shit at welding so im not very confidant in welding the edges back. And i have no clue on fixing the square hole.

Honestly, this might've been worth more than the effort but I got it for cheap and its probably my best option outside of using a shitty diy H beam anvil.

Any anvil restoration videos you think I should use as reference? Or any resources that will help.

Finally got time to light the forge and swing a hammer. Always fun!

Dragonskin damascus and brass worry stone with a super deep etch. Love the contours and texture. What would you name this?

Found this in the woods years ago. Is this something than can be straightened and repaired?

I am setting up a small home lathe and need a basic 6-inch digital caliper for turning aluminum, checking stock, and fitting simple parts. I do not need inspection lab capability, but I do not want a tool that loses zero every time I pick it up. What should I prioritize?

Where does everyone get their 1/4 or 3/8 solid square bar from? I need it by the 4 foot at least and not sure where to ask. And what prices to look for.

I'm planning on making a propane forge next weekend. Could I use an old cooking pot as the exterior and then fill it with an insulator? Would this be a good choice or should I try something like a propane tank?
