    It's been a long time since I tried to forge something and even though it took a few attempts I had a great time with lots of learning involved.

      Can I just say how much I appreciate how absolutely nonchalantly you treat failure? By basically just saying "It didn't work. I make another one." when you are known for the extreme quality of your work, you make it okay for us plebs to just shrug our shoulders and start again when we screw up. Bravo and thank you.

      I would love to see his process, too. I’m very happy with the Paul sellers approach, though, if you’re in need of a really solid method. It’s served me really well in my garage. He’s a big advocate of “sharpening to task,” and has said many times that he may bring out the diamond plates 4-5 times in a day to touch up his irons; being sensitive to the angle of the bevel, he hones without a guide, and that slows for a speedy process, and 4-5 sharpening sessions in a day becomes little down time.
