Tiny sgian dubh... very rough, lots of cleaning up to do. But I think the integral guard will turn out nice

Life....

So Amanda and I have spent all day cleaning, organizing, and removing CLUTTER that has accumulated on the shop & forging room over the last 12+ months since BS18...

Obviously you guys know how horrible I feel for being on such a one hiatus from making blades, but know that you’re always on my mind. I committed myself to coming home this off-hitch and stop making excuses (like an extremely
DIRTY & DISORGANIZED shop.

It’s very easy to let life get in the way, and lose focus. It’s been a busy 12 months, and the new property will always be here... but time to realign and re-focus my efforts on other “passions” again.

What do you think of the new sign? It’s intended for the “new shop build”, but I figured I would let it air out a bit and gather some patina.
.. So the forge is clean, the clutter removed from in front of the machines... and the fire & steel is calling. The hammers know my heart, and beckon me...

Great things to come... Thanks for your patience, all.
