how about some bronze age tools, partially as a academic option, or to sell as working reproduction tools for bronze age groups

Axe, Anthromorphic hilt fittings, spear head, nut crackers.

I'm sure that serpent, or dragon shapes from celtic or later art work could inspire decorative tools and jewelry!

Have fun, & I cant wait to see some results.

Possibly. Its something i'd like to make, not sure i'd have enough bronze for one of those yet. Only got 200g to start with so i'm thinking smaller than that atm. :)

Hilt fittings are what i am working towards for a damascus gladius im making ;) Spear heads are a good one for the future. I like serpenty stuff so another option there. :)

Aye, got the steel, nice big old piece of damascus. Not rushing into it though, want it to be right. It's just a practice piece for a bigger project later down the line. :)

Have fun working towards the damasaus gladius... I really fancy trying something in that area eventually...

Broaches, fancy cloak pins, etc. There's a few LARP/Reneactment groups that might have some ideas of small stuff to get you started.

Thought about thors hammers. They would make nice pendants. Seen so many horrible over fancy ones online though.
