Matthew,
Very interesting and I enjoyed watching your work!

Those are some great videos-thanks for taking the time to do them. I always enjoy getting to see makers' processes and I especially liked the tomahawk video. I have a tomahawk drift and have wanted to give it a try-you make it look easy.

Thanks guys
Jerermy - They are not to all that hard but the larger material is a bit different to forge if you aren't used to it ... both easier and harder in some ways. Just remember I only make it look easy because I have been making them for a long time ... and I have been teaching hawk making for a few years to. You want to really get good at something teach others to do it, you will get very good after figuring out how to help students fix there own mistakes as well as your own!
you can see some progress shots of the hawk in the video on my instagram feed http://instagram.com/p/li-VxjlUxf/
