Inaugural Cloak Pin
We’ve been wanting to try making a cloak pin for awhile now and gave it a go for the first time today. Room for improvement, but not bad as a first attempt!

Once the drawing is finished it’s time to start curling the ends. First the curl goes one way then it gets bent the other.
Been learning to make fire strikers. This one’s from soft steel so probably no good for lighting fires, but great for practicing on! It started as a 4″ piece of bar stock and it’s now drawn out to 7.25″. Next up – the curls!
I don’t know that I’ve shared this yet, but this is the Viking Age knife I made at the Fiber and Flame event in late June 2019. It is my second knife. Started with a chunk of coil spring from a car. The handle is made of ash from a tree growing near Hedeby. This one is not for sale. Ever. Than you Jeppe Nordmann Garly for sharing your expertise all the way from Norway!
