Some brooches / kilt pins fresh from the forge

[Mither Tap]

thanks guys. The fact that you like the patina look is good, as most of my stuff tends to be like this. I have a dislike of sanding and polishing so even on my knives I tend to leave a forge finish like this (unless It needs to be shiny... then I do the needful).

Martin,

I'm sure I can make you a steel if you want. They are made of high carbon steel that has been quenched from a cherry red heat. Any preference for size?
