Hey everybody!you might remember(or not)the welding chair thread a few months ago,anyways since then I have been busy in my garage making knives and other things with sharp edges.

so here they are.





This one turned great have to make a sheath yet though ><






the largest one is a uruk-hai sword (from lord of the dings haha)



and yes despite the fact i welded the blades of the hatchet,they are pretty tough,i always have functionality in mind.







this was a machete blade someone gave me had rust all over it.filed sanded and ground it turned out like this.


man this is one of my favorites , this is one of my early ones but throughout all these other projects i kept obsessing over the blade.(it cuts cardboard and the test for a sharp knife is paper right?)


the knife with the curved hand guard i made with a sawzall blade,some flat stock and some concrete nails.


Ok heres a project that did not work,this is a crossbow with a collapsable stock the reason it didnt work is ,at the time i had inadequate measuring tools for the task ,u used some crappy kitchen knives for the bow part because of springy properties of the crap steel.Im working on another one heh
