#PhotoOfTheDay is something different - one of my tidier blacksmithing creations, a table knife that started off as a piece of a very rusty spring or something, that I found on the side of a road. (fedia.io)

A hand-forged table knife, held by a hand. The blade has been ground, sharpened and given a high polish.

Holy man, that's amazing! How long have you been forging/smithing for? Have any tips for someone that wants to get started?

@Pilferjinx@lemmy.world Thanks! I haven't been very active lately but started a few years back... Tips, um... There's a lot to learn and investment in $, and set up. Taking in-person lessons if you can will help a ton with those things. Even informally. Start small, learn and obey the safety. There's very little rocket science involved but there is a lot of material to learn, so be patient and it will come.
