After a long, cold and dark winter I break the silence buy forging myself a touchmark stamp! Time will tell if there will be a touchmark stamp sequal because of the heat treatment.
I use a hardeable steel from an old spring and file my logo in to one of the ends. The plan was to heat treat it as I would a knife, but did I do it?

Nice job on the stamp! One thought...make some more tongs!
Well, I can tell you one thing for certain: You aint wrong! I have made two pairs, and one of them I kinda never use since it might need some more work to be working properly 😅.
@@hermansacres I'm sure you will get them working properly. Keep having fun with your blacksmithing! 👍😃
Hi Herman, thanks for this vid. I enjoyed your humour and honesty very much. Enjoy your learning curve. All the best.
Hi Andy! Thank you for those kind words. I'm glad you liked it. All the very best!
So cool! Loved it when you forgot the testing!
Haha, I didn't 😅. But it felt fun to show it!
another great creation. 👍👍
I don't know about great, but it was great fun to do! Looks like you know a lot about forging with those knives you're making, they look good!
Nicely done Sir!!!
Thank you sir!!
You need to watch more videos on the subject!! Good start but it won’t last or work on high carbon steel. Not hard enough Lol
Thanks for the comment! Do you have any good recommendations?
