I got some forging done today on my paid holiday off work to honor ol' Chris. My main project was to forge a knife for my nephew, whose birthday is coming up soon and I feel it is time for him to learn how to kill a man with a blade.

As a side project I also finished the forging on the feather hook I began a few weeks ago. Now all that is left is to file off the rough edges and then apply a finish.

I'm only somewhat satisfied with this hook. The hook itself is a little rough, so I'll need to do a lot of file work to get it looking acceptable. In the video I watched the smith cut some gaps into the vanes to make it look more realistic, but perhaps my hot chisels are too wide because I don't really think it looked that nice. His looked natural, mine just looked like nicks in the metal.

That being said it's perfectly functional and will be a welcome addition in the coop, where I need more hooks anyway.
