    I appreciate and acknowledge your skills. I must be an old-school reject in some ways as I would much rather hear your work progressing than the music. The most popular YT videos actually have no music, just the sound of the activity and the ambience of the surroundings. But then I can drive for hours - literally - with no radio, no music, just me to my thoughts. You have a gift none-the-less and thank you for sharing.

    It is an edge bottom tool for the square, sharp edges. If you would like to see the making of such a tool please see 'forging an edge tool with Alec Steele' the video by Daniel Lea! this particular one was made from a jack hammer bit and thus has this the hexagonal shape! Thank you very much for your kind words!

    So I gave this a go... didnt turn out very good for a horse. But I found out if you make the first two notches top of the head and spread them out a bit more it makes a decent alligator. Lol.

      I'm almost positive it's 1 x 1/4

    • @guitardaddy6
      @guitardaddy6 10 лет назад

      1/4 seems a little thick...but it would be solid if it were! I tried using 1/8 and it seemed pretty solid. It wasn't nearly as pretty as this one! :)

    • @theskyisfalling100
      @theskyisfalling100 10 лет назад

      Attaching a magnet to the neck of it stops ringing. But that might just be in railway track anvils.
