DJS Bladesmithing

Big billet of damascus clad steel on the go.. until the gas ran out! 😅

This is a milestone for me, and any blacksmith/bladesmith really! I recently have been dabbling with making damascus, and after getting my old propane forge dialled in, I taught my first damascus-making class, to make this kitchen tool!

Welsh Love spoon, now made to order 😉 I've had this idea for a while now, and glad it turned out how my minds eye could see it! Though traditionally carved from wood, I feel it fitting a smith make one from steel. DM if you'd like one for a loved one!

Been a busy start to the year, outside of work, but it was great to get back to it, with this two day class with Rob from the wirral, utilising some damascus I forged a couple years ago, to make a seax inspired kitchen tool (minding metas dislike of this trade, because it has the K word in it!)
