The King's Forge

New idea! Thoughts? Raquet ball racket repurposed, rubber net, Paracord to attach to racket, and going to add a slip resistant rubber handle wrap. I didn’t estimate enough Paracord, but was able to finish off by adding some more. It has a lanyard for a magnet clip on the end of the handle as well as a loop to put your hand through in case you drop it when netting you fish. I will update with pics when handle wrap is done.

Not quite my normal King’s Forge “to do” list. But, when you have a trip to plan for you gotta do what you gotta do. I am still restoring a knife I found of my dad’s with his initials carved in it, and making my first recycled tennis/racquet ball racket fly fishing net (with a rubber net basket). If I like it, I might be selling some!!

It has been a while due to back problems, having kiddos, and life. I am glad I was able to get into my new shop and work.

If anyone would like to give to help women in a crisis pregnancy situation, please do!

Thanks in advance, from The King Family.

Welcome to the King's Forge Family Little Red!!! This is my new propane fueled Forge, and with the temps she can it my tempers will be even better (they were already awesome!) and I can make my first Damascus billet (or at least attempt it)!!! I will have some action pics soon.

So, here is the newest creation from The King' Forge. Buck silhouette made with chalkboard paint on burnt pine slats. Thoughts?

''Tis the season (hunting season!)! From left to right:

-My first knife I ever made (handle is too short, but it is razor sharp, heavy, and has been on many hunts and dressed many animals)

-Second is my trusty all purpose (one of my first knives. I have abused it and it has held up amazingly!)

-Third is my dad's old folding belt knife (it is on his belt in so many of my childhood memories)

-Fourth is my new skinner (it is a project that has been on my bench for a while made from a different metal than I usually use. It is thinner, lighter, and will hopefully be put to the test this weekend!)
