    May I just say, you are one hell of a smith. I know that level of work takes years of practice, and those welds are just beautiful. Nicely done!

    It is such a pleasure to see another smith who studies and takes on projects from the age of Viking/Saxon.
    Long may you continue in this field of interest.
    Cheers

That would be a nice challenge. I also need to work on doing one of the augers bits from the Mastermyr find chest this fall.
