Great job! Sure changed the looks of that cube.

Thanks, it made for an interesting demo, while some stayed for a good bit family pulled them away after an hour or so. i then had several people check in throughout the afternoon to see how it ended up, a few were disappointed i wasn't filling it today but we were only there till 4:30.

with forging by hand and answering questions it took about 2-1/2 hours from start to where i am now but it was fun. i look forward to seeing how it files tomorrow and i'll post some more pics then.

okay, day 2 at the fair. i didn't get as far as i wanted but lots of questions about 'white/bright smithing.' had a ball but we always do. here is where i am now, i did touch up when i got home with the grinder. i'll try to finish it up over the next few days.

some of the other blacksmithing items my husband and i created today, if you ever have a chance be sure to check us out. Our New York State Designer Blacksmiths provide blacksmithing demonstrators for everyday of the fair (10-4:30).

they do hide us in the back of the carriage museum but we're still there! in the photo is a utensil rack, a center punch, a cheese slicer (without the wire yet), a drive hook, a wood gouge and a wall mounted plant hanger.

thanks

Well, now.

This is a fantastic WIP (great little knife)and I love the blacksmith items too. (my wife will love this)

Thanks for posting. I can't wait to see how it finishes out.

I am going to send this to our AABA webmaster to link to on our site.
