This project documents the blacksmithing journey from heating raw steel in the forge to using the anvil for initial shaping. You will see how the angle grinder helps define the profile of the blade while sparks fly during the grinding phase. We focus on the metalworking techniques required to refine the edge and handle of the piece. Whether you are interested in blade making or want to see how a scrap tool is repurposed, this guide covers the fabrication steps needed for quality results. We demonstrate the raw effort required for effective steel shaping and project assembly.
