knives will be showing tomorrow

I have a few knives, since you all have been awesome and stuck by me.  

number of entries still count ( as in your tier.  lowest is  1, second lowest is 2, so on and so forth) also back dating that to when the last drawing was so those who stuck around have a good amout of names in there.

I also have some other cool things I will be giving away.  just because you all are awesome

I did a live video today on facebooks path of fire page.  tonight was the first night i hammered steel since the 1st of october.  all i could think of was my dad.  its nice being out of the old shop as that is where i learned about his death.  but like the first few blows i had to stop and i damn near lost it on camera which would have lead to me dying of embarrassment.  But i sucked it the fuck up and kept on.  the tank didnt last long.

but i went and got a new tank and forged up until 30 mins ago.  i made some beautiful blades people.  im proud of their shape and their form.  the subtle slopes and hard edges. 

Its safe to say i am falling in love with what i do again and for different reasons.  a lot of people say "oh i wish i had your confidence" or " youre always so sure of yourself" in truth i am neither.  I generally find most everything i do to be worthless and i find myself unworthy of even having anyone to read this rambling.  the fact that almost 90 people are happy or willing to give me money each month merely to art baffles me.  I worked hard as i wanted to please my dad.  pretty normal story.  Now i have no one to please.  it was rather hard to make something that i could be happy with but im pretty sure im almost there.  I do look forward to the day when the first thing i think is not that i wish my dad could see this but that its "wow, im so happy i was able to make this" until 5 mins later when i realize its crap and that i can do better lol. 

im getting my shop set up as best as i can during the cold months.  I built my grinder table and im about to hard hook up my power.  I cant put the other 2 walls up yet as i was lazy in depression and let the warmth needed for a good solid set time for a concret floor pass by.  so now i wait until mid march but hey thats not that far.  I can always put more clothes on which is something i despise doing as im sure most of you are well aware by now haha. not sorry at all. 

im editing a not so exciting vid, its what ive done on the shop so far.I

i filmed all of these knives being made it wont be done this week but pretty soon

the next sword im finishing is the sword for La Fara and then my Orion project
