Thanks guys, I've always wanted a proper cutlass. It's the first blade I made that I was really personally scared of. It's crazy sharp and fairly heavy, the scabbard was made in self defense. Maggie has a real chili fetish, the kitchen is dripping chilis everywhere you look, we should by stock in Tobasco and Red Hot. The blade was a 3/16"x 2.5"x 2.5' slab of carbon steel I found in a welding shop dumpster and the guard is 1/8" scrap mild steel. I'm thinking of making another and doing a mirror polish on the blade. I'm trying to quit cigarettes, thus the pipe to keep my hands busy. |

I tried posting last night, but my puter was giving me the $hits. No matter what I did, I couldn't post a message so I just went to bed. He he. That always works! That is a real piece of work Kevin. I'm really interested in forging swords, but have my hands full with tons of orders and projects as it is. I hope I can come visit you some day and we can forge a blade together. It takes a helper with a blade that size, or at least I can see where a helper would be handy. Lets make a plan to get together sometime soon and combine our knowledge. I love that cutlass. Someday, I'll forge one myself....... |

Max, I'm still planning on a warm weather trip to Ohio to my friends' house--about an hour or less from Kevin, Thomas Powers, and Mongo. My friends' have a forge and lots of coal. When I finalize a date, I'll let you know. It'd be great it we could all get together. What are the dates you will be in school? |

School starts on April 16 and I'll be there till around may 12th. Ohio's a pretty long haul for me, but someday I'm just going to do it! I really dislike traveling, but I can zone out and next thing I know old Jed's a millionaire and I'm there! He he. It's the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow that keeps me going. |
