It's almost done!
This has taken FAR LONGER than expected. Partially because of underestimating, but mostly because of fixing dumb mistakes.

This project and all the support work has been all consuming, but should wrap up in the next week-ish and I can refocus on editing my next video!
Any guesses what I'm making?

My commission bid was approved! This is my last test piece before I start production.
Next step is to make a cart for my TIG welder. (I don't think I'll ever be done setting up the shop 😅)

Hey everyone! I know I've been MIA for a while, but I've been very busy mostly behind the scenes, but I also have a bunch of videos to edit/finish. I should be back to publishing videos regularly in the next couple weeks.
I'll be finishing some older projects, and by then will hopefully be showing you how I landed a big commission job I made these sample pieces for.

I broke the handle on my favorite hammer! At least I caught it on camera in today's video.

I was playing around with the new hammer I made for tomorrow's video, and this happened.
Would anyone like to see the whole process even with the fans on and no dialogue?

Today's video is getting postponed a couple days. It's too hot in the shop for the cameras (not to mention the operator).
I'm still making progress, but having to work in very short bursts.

I just realized I accidentally turned off comments on my latest video. I love getting feedback from you guys, and wasn't trying to snub anyone!

Does your special lady friend not understand your hammer needs?

After filming next week's video I'm effectively out of coke.
I'm going to take this opportunity to make some improvements in the shop to streamline video production as well as just make it nicer/easier to work in.
What kind of videos would you like to see in the meantime?

I'm a hobbyist smith working out of a micro-shop with next to no budget. Primarily focused on tool making as I try to outfit my shop for ornamental and sculptural work.
