Well gents, here's a sneak preview

19 inch blade of the usual construction-iron from all over, meteorites, horseshoes, stuff I've found lying around waiting for the enterprising smith to pick up.............I have it all written down with weights etc, more of that later.
I don't have much of this blade's early days but there is a picture of one of the meteorites (Campo Del Cielo 195g) and one of "block 3" before welding, 9 layers of iron and pure meteorite, there were four of these so 36 layers a side. There's some photos of the pamor drawn out ready to bend and insert steel, the blank ready to weld, the blade partially forged and fully forged. The selut progress is documented too (got a new camera!) Togog development to follow.....

Cowabunga Lemmy !!
David, don't you have an example of that dapur ?

Amazing to see this in progress.

The settings for the stones/glass on the selut, are they prefabricated ?

Nice dapur, I like it "simple" with no luks.

Bravo, Lemmy....

Magnifique garap. The dhapur, probably similar to these Javanese "PASUPATI". The one with pamor, was made by a Solonese keris maker Ki Sukamdi, but the kodokan is Maduran made...

Hi all, here's some pictures of the togog in various stages (well the front views anyway) his left foot is a little more developed since I took these snapshots.......

Wonderful work lemmy, great carving. What type of bone, and are you using only hand tools for this?
