The group is not dead. It has only taken a back burner to current priorities. Anyways, I have been smithing alot in the past few months. made a square drift punch from a car spring only to have a crack form. Im really learning how to work spring steel. Iv purchased a few tools. A nail header being the newest. also got some rivets for making tongs, now i need a riveting tool. I am also in the process of making a break drum forge out of an old grill. Picks will be posted in time. Good to know there is still a small group of blacksmith furs out there doing what they do best. keep up the good work.
