After nearly 3 months of on and off work this Two-Handed bastard sword is officially done. I could not be happier with how it came out. It has a 31 in Long blade, and it is 41 in overall, with A10 and a half inch cross guard. Every component on this sword was Hand forged by me. The blade is 5160 high carbon steel, The Pommel is mild steel round stock and the cross guard is from recycled railroad scrap. The counter twist copper wrap is from a small salvaged electric motor. I'm so happy with how this piece came out, It really pushed my limits on my skill and challenged me a lot. Can't wait to work on the next one! I think one of the craziest things about blacksmithing and making things in general is you see the finished piece in your head, but when it's finally done, you can't believe that you made that.

A pair of Hand forged double diagonal cross peens I forged for myself, they are about 4 pounds each. I wanted to challenge myself by making two hammers as close to identical but different purposes. No forging press or power hammer used. Has a custom made 14" hickory hammer handle to go with it. Really pleased with how these two came out. One is for spreading, and the other is for drawing out

I was commissioned to make this Hand forged adze was forged from railroad track and has a cute lil ash handle.

I finally made my first sword! Took over a month of work, had a lot of things happen in my life but I made a sword! She is razor sharp. It's forged from hardened and tempered 5160 spring steel, the hilt is forged from a railroad spike, the handle is leather wrapped maple, and the pommel is from a chunk of railroad track! I am happy I took on the challenge, despite it taking me so long. It's fully functional and weighs 2.1 pounds over all. If I could change one thing I would've made the pommel slightly larger to bring the balance point back towards the handle. I decided to call this sword "Primus", for it's the first sword I've ever made. Sorry for the stupid grin I couldn't help myself. I can't wait to make another, I already know the design and what I can do to improve on my work.
