25.01.2022 This is whats currently available for sale, the ones on the left are $20+post, the right of the ruler are $15+post, and the big one is $50posted if sold today, otherwise im keeping it , would look awesome as a car mirror ornament (ruler for size reference)

25.01.2022 Very long and exhausting day today with Matthew, we finished off a 3.8lb rounding hammer( forged not full finished) and forged out 2 warhammers and a smaller rounding hammer, man was that a fun experience

25.01.2022 Sorry for the spam (not really) but everytime i make these im blown away at how the colors pop with the wood, these along with many more from todays pour will be available at Paddys market this Saturday from 9-1pm at Coongulla (near Lake Glenmaggie) whatever is left will be available for purchase after the market, unless you really cant help yourself than i may be able to part with a couple beforehand

24.01.2022 Latest over on my instagram, hand sanding is a pain but well worth the effort, i post more work in progress pics on instsgram just to save boring everyone here ;) but go and give me a follow if you havent already

23.01.2022 Punching a warhammer eye, watch that lube wax pop!!

20.01.2022 Here at Paddys market in Coongulla, at the community hall until 1pm, come down and say gday

20.01.2022 Custom sheath finished up, pattern is a simplified "Del Raso" style, saddletan dyed with the center being a darker brown, hand stitched with brown thread, (knife wasnt made by me, just the sheath)

19.01.2022 For those who missed the live stream yesterday, this is what we were/are working on, a forged with striker rounding hammer, we need to upset it some more to bring the faces in then rework the fullers, we will be live streaming on and off this Thursday the 25th from about 10-3 or so, and we will also be starting forging on a WARHAMMER!! so tune in and see how that goes ;)

18.01.2022 GOING LIVE IN 20 MINUTES!!

18.01.2022 Been pushing trying to get a decent amount ready for the market, heres what is currently ready, all are available for sale either now or at the market at Coongulla tomorow except the bottom right thats a commission, what do you think? Are these something youd wear/have on your keys? What color combinations should i try next?

17.01.2022 And the Warhammer is finished, ill put the weight/lengths etc in the testing video, but its a hand forged 1045 steel warhammer head on a spotted gum handle, i left the head in ferric chloride for about 15hours to get a nice aged grey look to it, really pleased with how this came out, and im very much looking forward to smashing stuff with it , if you like this and want to see more projects like this id appreciate a like and a comment below to show your support , thanks everyone

16.01.2022 The rounding hammer is coming along, as well as the warhammer were forging, stay tuned for more updates throughout today!!

16.01.2022 2 on the go, the one on the right im calling the pink diamond, if sold by the time i finish it you can decide if itll be a necklace or a keychain, will be done in a few hours, $30posted, will be much nicer as i clean it up, only in its making stages

16.01.2022 Hate to be the person to say my pick is better than yours but this thing is just

15.01.2022 Here is a hammer im working on, its past this normalizing cycle now as its ready to be handled, but heres a pic anyway for your Wednesday night ;)

14.01.2022 Was a productive day, all are spoken for except the round raspberry keyring, cant wait to try more colors and woods!!

12.01.2022 THIS IS SOLD!! By far the nicest hammer ive made so far, 1045 steel with slightly squared front face and rounded "ball pein" faces taken up to 400grit then buffed, the whole head has a wire wheel finish, the handle is a 400mm spotted gum also taken up to 400grit and buffed, the head weighs in at about 2.3lbs, thanks for looking

11.01.2022 On the work bench today, 4 necklaces, 1 keyring, a ring and trying a guitar pick whats your favorite so far?

10.01.2022 I will be going live tomorow with Matthew around 3pm or so, (will update when closer to happening) we will be forging a rounding hammer, maybe a axe and possibly some more small forging challenges, comment below with what youd like to see us make( no blade related items as im out of knife steel )

10.01.2022 For those on the fence about hammer making classes his a quick video of some of the steps youll be doing, most i filmed today other parts are from other builds, the classes are 1 on 1, sometimes 2 people upon discussion, but some things youll learn are Safety in the Forge Punching/drifting the eye Shaping the fullers (if any) Drawing out the cheeks (if you want them)... Heat treating/tempering Hammer finishing and polishing Handle shaping and fitting Just to name a few, ive got a few classes booked already, they will be continuing as long as theres interest for them, these classes would make a great birthday gift/fathers day present ;) so if your interested not necessarily in classes but just hammer forging in general, drop a like and tag your friends who might be interested to learn the age old craft of traditional hand forging hammers (no bunnings hammers here ;) ) See more

08.01.2022 Just to give you an idea, on the left is the rough product, the other 2 are polished and ready for drilling, super happy with how these are coming , perfect gift for Easter i reckon

08.01.2022 Cant wait for this to set so i can cut it up, this will ideally have tons of depth to it, enough for maybe 10 or so necklaces/keychains these will be $25each plus post, comment below if your keen on one!! (Mixture of blue, green, red resin, wood set in clear resin) no 2 will be the same, these will definetly be 1 off pieces, unique for those unique people ;)

08.01.2022 Surely i cant be the only one excited by these , just cut on the bandsaw, if you like the looks of one of these let me know!!

07.01.2022 Working on this little hunter, just finished squaring up the shoulders so ill be working on the guard/handle in the next few days, hand sanded to 600grit but might have to go down a few, think theres a couple scratches ive missed

06.01.2022 Some more on the go, was going well until the power in my shed stopped working , not ideal when the markets on in 2 days

05.01.2022 Couple hours of finishing ahead of me, all these will be keychains and all will be available

04.01.2022 First testing of the warhammer, well it definitely works, the wood is 3/4inch particle board, cant wait to punch it through some steel!!

03.01.2022 Finish sanded 1 side so far, ran out of sand paper so the other side will have to wait, 15n20 steel, 6.5" blade this thing weighs only 55 GRAMS so far, check out the flex on this

03.01.2022 Awesome day at the Melbourne Knife show, meet alot of great makers and saw some absolute works of art, i also feed my unhealthy addiction to knife handle material leaving with some awesome bits of wood

03.01.2022 More experimenting

02.01.2022 Grinding a 15n20 kitchen/possibly filleting knife, i think my heat treat went well, plenty of flexibility and comes back straight

01.01.2022 Hammer i was working on before i ran out of gas.....rookie mistake, but should i continue and make it a traditional rounding hammer, or make it a hybrid rounding/peen hammer? Comment below what you think i should do, most popular option before 12pm Tomorow ill turn it into so get picking!!

01.01.2022 Rearranging the shed to best make use of space, also means i get to put all my handle material in one spot, think i need to use more of it and stop hoarding it

01.01.2022 Holy crap these colors are mind blowing!! Just poured these so wont be able to touch them till this time tomorow, but man im keen to cut these up and see how they look polished up, which one do you like best?
