Wednesday, August 28, 2013. June 2013: Two weeks with Petr Floriánek. Petr assuming the guise of Grímnir. In the middle of the quiet, breezy, protected clearing stood a table, chairs, and a spacious linen tent: my bedroom for the next two weeks. The first weekend of my stay, Petr took me out into the majestic Slavic pines...

Blade from scraps | The Knotted Wyrm
https://lukeshearerbladesmith.wordpress.com/2012/12/28/blade-from-scraps
Handcrafted knives and swords by Bladesmith Luke Shearer. Seax Collaberation →. December 28, 2012. The knife I welded up from scrap pieces is forged, heat treated, polished, and etched in ferric chloride, a weak acid, to expose the pattern. I wanted a weird shape to match the strangeness of the pattern. I will send it to fellow bladesmith Matt Waters for a handle. View all posts by Luke Shearer →. This entry was posted in Uncategorized.

Seax Collaberation | The Knotted Wyrm
https://lukeshearerbladesmith.wordpress.com/2013/02/22/seax-collaberation
Handcrafted knives and swords by Bladesmith Luke Shearer. February 22, 2013. I contacted fellow bladesmith Myles Mulkey with the idea to collaborate on an Anglo-Saxon seax from around the 9th or 10th century. I wanted to make a pattern welded blade, so I took a four bar core from a failed Norwegian langsax project and welded it to a high carbon edge bar of 1084 steel. Here are the billets prepared for welding:. I then forge the blade closely to shape…. Ground to white steel. The spine is left quite thick.

Forging stories: října 2012
http://gullinburstiblog.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Pátek 26. října 2012.

It melted to an idea to create the grave goods of Rohan hero Fram, son of Frumgar, who slayed the great dragon Scatha. Here is the o...

Thursday, April 24, 2014. What happens after hearth melting. What we met to do was to take the hearth-melted material that I made with Jack McAuliffe. Where did the weight go? It just so happened that at MassArt last year. I consolidated a bar of bloomery iron from when I was in England. With Owen Bush. It had almost ...
