And the million dollar question is: do you really blacksmith while barefoot?  I always preferred wearing my steel-toed flip-flops.

What steel did you use? What did you use for the pins? They look good.

Those look really good. Your stuff looks better everytime you post. Keep it up because your skills are really developing.

Thank you. No matter how good the teacher, a student has to learn some things on their own.
