This design was new for me. I completely snapped off the tang after heat treatment. Instead of scrapping the piece, i forged out a steel handle and attached it to the blade with steel pins!
Unfortunately I will not be able to make it to this week's group livestream event because my wife and I had to evacuate due to a nearby wildfire. Hopefully I will be back and ready for next week's! I will keep you all posted.
We will now be doing weekly livestreams in the workshop every Friday afternoon. I will be working on that week's project and answering questions. Feel free to just watch or set up a camera in your workshop - show off your work and get feedback!
