That's so cool! Do you have a gallery anywhere of your work?
I would love to get into jewelry design, metalsmithing, etc. It is such a satisfying way to work with your hands and science! Unfortunately as a hobby it requires actual property space not an apartment :,)
I used to have an Instagram page but I stopped updating and eventually deleted it because Facebook.
So basically I just have what I take pictures of, when people are interested, I show a few examples. I don't advertise my stuff because it's just a hobby and I refuse to make it my job.
a picture of the last commissioned piece before I finished the leather work, spoiler alert they're divorced less than a year later
a replica of the Hunter Blade from the video game Destiny I don't know what to do with
a kitchen knife I made 7 years ago and still use weekly
A hunting/cleaning knife I sold for the birthday of someone who will never go hunting and faints at the sight of uncooked hamburger.
Small knife I made for my wife that she uses to cut up her apples
So cool! Thank you for sharing. I love how your first knife is still going strong and you can plainly see you used the same wood for the handle.
Man if you ever wanted to try working on some other replicas, supernatural has some cool knives. Especially Ruby's demon blade.
