    Yes that is no problem just go through the annealing cycle for the steel, do the work then repeat the hardening and tempering.

    A little forge

    A productive weekend spent putting this little forge together using a design from the Essential Craftsman on Youtube. Still a top plate to drill and put on, angle iron cut ends to tidy up and the burner to fit once it arrives from ebay but a very handy design. That soft firebrick at the front...

    Oh no... I've been Yodeled!!!

    Yodel are an absolute nightmare. Ordered a camera at the start of last month, took the day off and waited for delivery a few feet from the door that parcels arrive at but no sign, check the web tracking just after 5, says delivered at 15:07 and signed for by the lady next door, slight fault...

    What about Billhooks ?

    Me as well! A Kukri may be the perfect tool in the environment it was designed for but the bill hook as evolved over hundreds of years to do just the sort of things bushcrafters get up to in British woodlands. My Morris Staffordshire billhook is easily the cutting tool I use most.
