• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

01 steel and yew knife

A lovely sloyd knife there Pete! I really enjoy spoon carving :D
How would one go about making a knife like this? I presume it's not forged from scratch?
 
It’s made from 3mm 01 steel plate cut with a hacksaw filed to shape and then heat treated with a MAPP blow torch.
You heat it until a magnet doesn’t stick then plunge it into oil, clean and tempered by reheating it to a straw colour with the blowtorch or in the oven.
