First successful Damascus blade! Handle WIP. #bladesmith #knives

2.5 years of smithing have led to this point. Details cont'd below.

Last week I finished a santoku kitchen knife, and I'm super pleased with it so far! (Given it's a hobby and my skills/equipment are pretty amateur)

Truck coil spring, cheap softwood (Fir? Spruce?), steel pins. Thin, shaving sharp... Unfortunately not rust resistant at all, lol. #blacksmith

Let's start things off with a neat thing I put together a few days ago: a #Python script for generating WAV audio of 1+ pure sine waves, which does *not* use any third party libraries (e.g. Numpy):

I guess let's give Bluesky a try.

Previous networks: Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit. Each let me down in their own way. I figure Bluesky has a good chance, since I can spin up my own server if bsky.app lets me down.
