What did you use to sharpen it? Was it old school or a grinder?

I roughly sharpened it with large diameter grinding wheel, basically similar as those used for centuries but electric powered. Finishing is done by hand with several fine abrasive papers and whetstone.

I stumbled upon this image on reddit, and let me tell you; it has been the single best reference image I have found in all the images I've been collecting for a fantasy story/world I'm working on. Thank you so much for sharing!

mistä muuten ostat boraksia kun en meinaa löytää mistään ja tekisi niin mieli koittaa damastia terän tekoa?

Varnia nimisestä liikkeestä olen booraksit ostanut. Myös teräsrenki myy booraksia, kalliimpaa kuin varnialla, mutta jos ei ole tarvista isolle erälle, ja ostaa sieltä vaikka terämateriaalejakin samalla niin tulee yksillä toimitusmaksuilla. Booraksin kanssa säätäessä kannattaa huolehtia hengityssuojauksesta. Käyttöturvallisuustiedote kannattaa myös lukaista ajatuksen kanssa läpi.

Very inspiring!
I must find the time to try something like this.
Much easier for me where i live in germany as i can start at number 13 or 14. This is because what i pull out of the river is not just iron ore, it is already iron and steel. Bicycles, shopping trolleys, dustbins,

How can you tell that there are iron ores in the river? Were they flushed from upper streams like gold?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
jarkko1 In reply to lalalalaX4 [2015-03-28 06:59:23 +0000 UTC]
Well, the heritage pretty much tells which areas have ore in waters, and when searching it its easy to just tap the bottom with oar and when it feels that there is ore, then try to get some up. The iron flushes into water from soil and it then starts to accumulate into suitable places.

Thanks for the Info. This certainly cannot be done in my home country, because It's too small and over-exploited by colonizers. You are very lucky to have such an abundant homeland.

Wow, i'm so glad i saw this, now I've found this awesome page. I really love the metal work you've done, i truly am fascinated by weapons and the process of making them. Looking at this makes me really happy my high school had a metals program so i understand this.

Alotat siis syksyllä Otsolassa? Ei siellä opetukseen ihan tällaiset hommat kuulu, mutta hyvä mahdollisuus oman mielenkiinnon mukaiseen suuntautumiseen ja itseopiskeluun kyllä tarjotaan. Se paja on mielestäni huipputasoa, joten siellä kyllä kelpaa puuhastella. Harmillista tosin on ollut kuulla että pajatunteja on opetuksesta vähennetty viimeaikoina. En tiedä mikä siellä sitten on nykyään suhtautuminen iltatyöskentelyyn, itse häärin silloin pajalla usein iltaan asti. Jos saa jotain aineita hyväksiluettua aiempien koulujen ansiosta, niin ne ajat kannattaa koettaa käyttää pajalla jos vain suinkin mahdollista.
Minun on syksyllä tarkoitus tulla käymään Otsolassa. Varmaan otan mukaan jotain esiteltävääkin.
