This is a vessel I made while in my final semester at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. It is welded and brazed steel. This was my first time brazing, and I found it very satisfying and enjoyable. The technique and motions were like TIG welding, but the behavior of the bronze was like solder. This piece now sits on my kitchen counter and holds wooden spoons, whisks, spatulas and the like.

Really need to get a better grinder, but I think I'm getting the hang of it.

Hunting knife with a walnut and bog oak handle, featuring a rather smug-looking bird pommel.
The blade is forged from an old leaf spring, while the bird is carved from mild steel.
