Pretty nice obsidian blade huh? Its actually steel though. I forged the general shape, leaving it a little thick. Then did the texture with a dremel tool, polished it so it will be shiney. And to blacken it I used a stuff called super black that is for gun barrels. Heat treated it too of course.3yr ⋅ RukaFawkes ⋅ r/Blacksmith

Took some advice from an earlier post and dug through a salvage yard. Managed to find some leftover lathe bar stock (5.25 in diameter, 7 in length), looks to be 1018 hot-rolled. Should weigh approx. 43 lbs, got it along w/ some chains for $25, how’d I do for a first anvil?1yr ⋅ BreakfastTidePod ⋅ r/Blacksmith

I need advice for keeping my gauntlets clean. I tried using rust cleaner for BBQ grills using the soft side of a sponge as referred to by a friend. It helps a little but doesn't seem to fully get rid of the rust in its early stages. Anything I can do different?5mo ⋅ JediWarrior117 ⋅ r/Blacksmith

A bit of a stretch for the blacksmithing but I hand forged the stinger out of a 22 layer cut off from a restack and deep etched it. The rest of the project was standard metal work and tig welding. Still thought you guys might like it.2yr ⋅ justice27123 ⋅ r/Blacksmith
