Heya! Leftist AZ based hobbyist smith! My hope is to connect with and grow the community. Interested in unique projects, fine Damascus metalwork, practical tools and utensils, and bladesmithing. Have fun, stay safe, be kind. Oh and AI sucks. ✌🏼⚒️

Man, I had a fun weekend! I finally FINALLY got to move some steel 😃 (can you tell I almost dropped my phone 😅)

While we’re at it, here’s my humble forge. Just got another coat of refractory due to some tearing. Also curing in the hellscape of AZ.

She’s just about ready. Just got sealed and is baking off in the LOVELY AZ sun. Soon she’ll have an anvil on top.

Long time no chat. This is my Shou Sugi Ban-ized anvil stand. The other sides are ugly cus I patched cracks, I was just trying to shore up weaker points in the wood. Nevertheless!

Welp, I abandoned the reclaimed wood anvil stand. I didn’t have enough and it was just too uneven to make it work. However two 8 ft 2x10s later…

Neat what a wire brush does to slag, ay?

Been troubleshooting the forge. Been having some sputtering issues, and my regulator doesn’t want to play nice but I got a pretty cool picture.

Probably should put some posts up to prove I’m not a robit. 💪🏼
