Pure Lust - Don't know what to spend your Christmas Money On?

[Cegga]

I feel very humble and don’t think I will be putting my pathetic efforts on for a good while!
Chris

I Would Like too see that pathetic efforts for me there is nothing thats pathetic so show us, We are all in different steps on the forge ladder but I like every step, And nobody is pro I have forge fore 25 years but I am still learning and make many mistake and learn from them.

Does Damascus achieve anything other than fancy patterns?

Just showing my ignorance here (and I'm probably a philistine too... )

yep, that´s pure ignorance

only heroes ask a question like that ..fancy patterns ... :swordfigh

Btw, real Damascus has gone if the scientits at Dresden University are correct on their research: one of the genuine ingredients has gone a couple of hundred years ago

@ Ceggar: :notworthy

Hmmm 28 or 43 have to be amongst my favourites! really like no 13 (think it has a couple of other piccs in there too)

Lovely work, really must own one!

Its great mate - I just spent a long time looking trying to work out which I liked best! I am really intrigued with the odd shaped one in the wooden box though - is it a traditional design?

Red

 

[Cegga]

No it´s for one man who celebrate 60 year and I make it look just a little viking style .And I temper colour it so it´s not much too work with , But ok too look at I hope.
Cegga

 

[British Red]

Its a lovely looker - not for me but a lovely looker!

I remember seing pictures of Goran Enocksson do something similar in damasteel.

What size are those double bits by the way? 1.5 kg or so?

Red

 

[Cegga]

I do them from a bit thats 1,7 kg when I start but you can go so far down as almost 1 Kg after grinding depends on how they want it too be.
Yes I seen Görans work he do fantasic axes
Cegga

 

[British Red]

Now thats tempting........could you do 1.2 Kg on a 26" helve? In a Nessmuk grind (one blade thick for splitting, one thin for cutting). Sort of cross between a GB forest axe and a cruiser style?

[Cegga]

I can giv it a shot but now I am free from work too 9 jan so contact me on the mail later then we see what I can do .But you have too remember me because I are forgetful
Cegga

 

[British Red]
