Reading and thinking on the orishigane..... the thought of being able to alter the carbon balance up or down, depending on how the material is manipulated in the fire......truly there is magic here. Gives me the bright tinglies just thinking about it!<br /><br />Now if only my forge welding skills were up to task......guess that I better get busy on rebuilding my forge, haha. And the fuego. I would suggest a build-along, but you will likely be finished with yours before I even get my wood sawn, haha.<br /><br />My crap photo doesn't illuminate well, as the day was fading fast, but that is actually my little split back tack hammer, just like you are using for your saw tooth setting. 5 Oz maybe? Pretty small and light, in any event but even so, as I get further into this, I am needing to be progressively more delicate. I should thin down that handle some. That would be a help, and I like thin, whippy handles.<br />Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06740185043053833321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3324046123100137801.post-43075286478214743512015-06-16T07:47:31.015-07:002015-06-16T07:47:31.015-07:00I like your hammer, it looks very similar to a sma...I like your hammer, it looks very similar to a small scross peen I have for peening my scythe blade. Its a bit on the heavy side but I find myself using it more and more. By the way, I spent last night reading about Orishigane and it is fascinating! Bloomery steel has so much character. So much skill knowing the steel wrapped up in it too.Gabe D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05809883477919665827noreply@blogger.com
