"While no longer common, #WaterWheels have an ancient history for use in #blacksmithing, #milling flour, and more.

"In the late 1800’s, they started to see commercial use for generating electricity.

"Though they are not as popular for energy generating today, many people still build them for use in low-flow areas, or as a fish-safe alternative to dams."

Made a little bickern. I have a few sockets to make and I'm tired of working them over a punch badly held in my vise. Thank goodness for the little power hammer or I'd still be bulking up my biceps. #blacksmithing

New to Pattern Welding? A lot of the patterns seen from the Viking-era were made by twisting billet. I'll show you how to do that. Here is how to twist!

Went up the Sky Iron festival of blacksmithing today and ended up manning a stall and doing demos. Just a little grubby when I got home.

Bodged together a little Suffolk latch for the laundry room. It is now possible to enter from the outside door and exit into the workshop!

I reveal all the steps behind creating a Pattern-Welded Viking Spear! It took me about two years of research before I could make this spear. Follow along!
