@ InTheDarknessWhereIDwell, Thank you so much! You are correct. This project took around 6hrs. to complete. So, not to bad at all. Something important is that you get the rod centered through the blade. I had mine like 1/4 - 1/2 inches off center, so I needed to clean that up later, which was harder than it would have been if I just measured, marked, and got it right the first time. Another note on it is: to twist it I used tongs and then a monkey wrench. I switched as the sharp corners and slippage of the tongs was causing marking and scarring. If you have them I would recommend that you use a twisting or monkey wrench from the get-go. I hope that it goes well, and I would love to hear about it! If you have any questions please let me know! GOD bless! -Miles Forge

Nice work!
I could make one, it looks easy, not over the top but a great, functional and aesthetically pleasing forging.
