A New Hobby

Thanks guys. One drawback to this hobby and most others, I suspect, is that Mrs. Fordguy is on Pinterest. Which means that she also has approximately 15,000 projects that she'd like done lol.

Uncle Fester, you've got some serious artistic talent. As one who is artistically impaired, I hate you. ::hysterical::

Haha, thanks Alan. Trust me, I'm still nowhere near the level that others have attained in knifemaking...
Septugenarian:
When I was in Grade 10 we had an Ag class which also included a little black smithing. There happened to be a complete black smith shop in the boiler room of the grade school. We did the exercises of tempering and annealing and did end up making a knife out of a file. Then, during the next couple of years I did some work with my uncle who had a working black smith shop. After reworking skidding tongs and related logging hardware, we acquired a box of broken torsion bars from the Plymouth dealer and made a few wrecking bars, etc. I finally parted with my share of that output three years ago when I sold my island place. Should have kept them anyway. Yep, I'm in my 70s now.
