Nice video man, good to see you at the forge and anvil again!

@TechnicusJoe Thanks, altough I think that I could have done it a bit better. :P ( I had more footage, but since I´m not used to forge these kind of things, the footage is not so good, so I decided to not show those parts. ;) )

More to come soon, I´m having thoughts on doing something with pattern-welding...I don´t have a power-hammer though. xD

[TechnicusJoe]

@gladgurkan91, ok, but why do you need a power hammer, prove you're a REAL smith. As it should be!

[gladgurkan91]

@TechnicusJoe haha, yeah, a powerhammer is for the weak! Using a powerhammer = cheating! ^^

[TechnicusJoe]

@gladgurkan91, power hammers are for the lazy smiths yes, but if you go to stock over 6 cm, I can Imagine them wanting to use one, but hey, you got strikers for that.

[gladgurkan91]

@TechnicusJoe Exactly. :)

@TheRedDal3k Thank you! :)

@firebelliedtoad Haha, thanks. :) Yeah, it sure is...The only problem is that after a while, you don´t want to leave the heat in the forge and face the cold winter outside again. ;)

[TheRedDal3k]

nice :)

Looks pretty good to me mate. I guess the forge is a good place to be this time of year?
