I got a new 2.5 lb rounding hammer from whiskey turtle forge and I love it. He also sent me some goodies. Some stickers a bit of wrought iron and a bar of 1045. Small Viking hammer from the wrought iron with 1045 faces is on my to do list now.

My Scrap knife. Wood was some walnut pallet wood. I think it’s a burl or something funky. Pins were cast brass sanded round and to 1/8” steel is 1095 from old Nicholson files, something similar from rasps, and 5160 leaf spring. How did I do?

Inspired by Torbjörn Åhman’s recent video I made rivet tools for making and using 3/8” rivets. Far from perfect but they should work. Just need to get some bar stock to test them. Heat treated and tempered to blue/purple 1” round 4140

Scrapmascus finished! It got dark so I took pictures inside so not great quality. Twist pattern. It was fun. For being a 15 year old and this being my hobby I don’t think I did too bad. Not perfect but not horrible
