Nightshade Steelworks

After more than a year off, finally back at it. Gotta knock some of the rust off so im working on nails.

More women need swords.

Tried something new here.
Hollow basket handle with talon curve blade, and false edge backing.
Rail spike steel.

Finished up the Seax and made another today, the one on the right. Just a standard traiung point RR spike knife. The Seax is already sold as mentioned before but the traiung is up for sale. DM for info.

Made a thing, RR spike seax with a twist handle. Already sold.

Commission for a hitching post for a motorcycle. Solid steel, even the decorative ring, the pipe is 2 3/16 wide and 3/16 thick. Used a rail spike for the hook, the ring is 1/4 inch mild steel with a decorative pineapple twist welded close. All welded but the hook has enough opening to allow use if the ring goes missing. The top cap is 1/4 leaf spring cut to size.

Got these two off a coworker yesterday. Now I gotta coal forge! And the other thing is an old school hand crank drill press. Working on some restoration on both today.

Pallet refurbishing project. Started at 5pm on 9/7/24, Almost done, could just put a linseed oil finish on it and put it together and be done already, but I'm crazy. Want to do some carving on the posts and some detail works on the slats themselves. Then I'll do the linseed or tongue oil rub down. This is to go by my fire pit and is designed to hold over a 1000 lbs easily.

Working on some stuff today.

Got some forge time in yesterday.

When you're stubborn but so is the nail....
