Hello, from Boise Idaho! My name is Seth thanks for having me here. I’ve been a blacksmith for some time, making things from metal is my true passion, and I’m definitely obsessed with primitive skills, foraging, hunting, fishing etc. I’ve been practicing bushcraft stuff a few years and I love...

A short documentary on axe making in Oakland, Maine filmed in 1965.

I forged some of these pendants for folks who came to see the amazing total solar eclipse. Due to the interest, I made some more this weekend and want to offer them to my Bushcraft friends. They are hand forged in solid bronze with a stamped impression of the sun. I made the stamp myself by...

hey guys. One of my friends wants to make his own knife, but he doesn't know where he can buy any steel. So he asked me to help him, and I knew right where to go. I was hoping some of you would be able to tell me where I could find some 1095 carbon steel. That is what my friend asked for. I did...
