Took a break from building goat barn alpha to turn on the forge, first time in over a week. Had an excellent session where I shaped a pound and half of 5160 into a cleaver over 2 hours. I’ll forge out some details later today and get it sorted on a grinder in prep for heat treat. #blacksmithing #bladesmith #farmstead #washingtonstate

Got the pre-heat treat grind done, including the top hole and pin holes on the tang. If I pushed a bit, I could have done the heat treat and tempering as well today. This is something of a milestone, a sellable blade from billet to ready for scales in one day.
