I always look forward to seeing the next project, this one is amazing in that it takes the violence of hammer blows and creates something graceful. Question....if you accidentally thin out a piece too much (which there are no such things as accidents right?) is it recoverable? Thank you so much for sharing!

+God's Touch Ministry The River's Edge Thanks! If thinned out too much it's usually beyond repair. If you're drawing out and the work piece still is in "bar shape", you often can upset it back.

I've seen lots of handcrafted items go and they aren't as high quality as yours I'd say. I am also interested in the forge, powerhammer and your files. The files seem to be extremely tough and the forge is something I would love to have if I ever get around to start smithing.
