[TheForge] RR spike knife

[Jerry Frost]

Thanks Kenny, you're making me blush though. <grin>

Yep, those are spike tongs alright.

Next spike knife try not being so nice to the blank, 
keep it straight as you go. Overcorrect, bend the blade 
into the belly and when it starts to straighten out 
bend it some more. Don't let it come straight till the 
last draw before you go to the grinder.

it ain't real.
Wrought iron is.
