You need medical attention.

Can we get a cross-section of that axe handle?
GuardedDig2
Cross section? It’s an hammer handle because it fit better
SwarzeTrauer
Okay, that's all I needed to know. It looked a tad too cylindrical to my tired brain.
GuardedDig2
It’s all good.

I think your neighbors will describe you as being "quiet and a bit of a loner."
The5SecondFuse
We get the point.

Looks awesome! Great work! Also, tell your dad great work on the lawn.
GuardedDig2
Thanks. Will do :) he takes good care of the lawn. Great soil so it’s not as hard as some places but still a few hours a week on it

Cut to the chase, are you selling these? Good work man, smith on!

If you don't mind me asking, how much do you think you spent in total on your equipment?
GuardedDig2
I got a lot of things free form family and friends but in total for all the tools and equipment I spent about $1400

Thank you

Good for you dude. If you love doing this keep doing it. One of my biggest regrets is not following through with my passions as a teenager.
GuardedDig2
Thanks

All very nice! I want to learn to forge sometime in the future. Any tips?
GuardedDig2
YouTube is a wonderful place to learn. That’s how I learned. And thank you

GuardedDig2
Thank you
Adamstergren
These are quite good. Keep at it and you will get good money on this as well as work satisfaction. Take pride in working with your hands.
GuardedDig2
Thank you. I’ve made a little money and am going finish my first commissioned knife soon but nowhere near as much as I’ve spent on tools lol
Frankenstien0
What metal did you use for the chefs nice?
GuardedDig2
I used stainless steel that was already heat treated from eBay /a/lqprlvH

As someone who's been into knives in a serious manner, I'm impressed too. Keep it up.
GuardedDig2
:D thanks!

How do you plan on completing your Damascus? (You're gonna get critics about the very idea, so that aside.)
GuardedDig2
I’ve already got people complaining on my use of Damascus vs pattern welded steel lol. I plan to etch in ferric chloride for 30 minutes
pondwouldbegoodforyou
But can you make a sweet poop knife?
ocegur
To enhance the flavour?
Kovahjin
I'd rather a tailor make me some fashionable poop socks.
thetacoslaughterhouse
Or a enhanced toe knife?
clucja1
One sharp enough to not turn into a botch job.
HeyHarryOldBuddyOldPal
helmsmanl33742
If #5 ain't a poop knife, what is?
thestreetsnake
anyone else still not believe the poop knife story?
AbacusFinch
Apparently my uncle had to use something similar when he was a teenager
houtaku
And then his butthole got smaller?
AbacusFinch
I dont know if he still takes massive poos or not. I'm not inclined to ask
NapoleonDynOmite
Once I was so constipated I had to use a finger to dig it out
AbacusFinch
How do mathematicians get over being constipated? They grab a pencil and work it out
SweetrollTheif
Do you have a power hammer? or just a hand hammer?
GuardedDig2
3 lb cross peen and my anvil. No power hammer. I hope to get one eventually
SweetrollTheif
Honestly, that just make this that much more impressive. Its an art, and you have great skill.
GuardedDig2
Thanks
