What good are you as a blacksmith if you can't make the thing you need to make the other thing?

A little forging fun this past weekend! I completed making a spoon for my Borax flux, worked on drawing out a steak turner from a railroad spike and then started trying to do a dragon head on a square bar. We'll see how it goes!

One new hammer handle broke inside the head and was coming out while forging. Another I just replaced the wedge to tighten it up. Now I have two amazing hammers. The new Swedish crosspeen is what the larger one looked like to start.
