I would like to Publically Thank my dear Grandmama for Donating the Money to buy a Second Full Propane Tank! Love You, Grandma.

Alright Folks. No sense being all Coy about it anymore. It's too obvious now, the Major Forging is Done! I forged a massive Leaf Shaped Fighting Spear. And technically the biggest blade I've actually Forged to Shape Yet!! ( while I used my Forge for Straightening, annealing, and Quenching, My Sword was mostly Cut and Ground to Shape so it doesn't count (it's still an Awesome Sword!!)) My original plan was for some fancy Wings/A Forged In Crossbar, and I'd worked the Idea out ...a million Times in Imaginationland.... but as sometimes happens in my Self Education Process, Reality threw some Unexpected Physics at me. Flaws Happened, I had to do some Fast Thinking to salvage all the Work I already put in, and in the end I prevailed. Now I gotta pretty it up!! But for NOW, I think I earned some Beers. A Nice Pumpkin Ale, maybe?

Alright, after yesterday's Hitch, we're back on track! Starting to establish Bevels and a final shape! The whole piece, incidentally, is about 16 and a half inches... the pointed section a little over ten inches and still growing a bit as I subtly adjust things.

Well. I messed up. Caused a major flaw but with a bit of quick emergency cutting and grinding, and a slight change of design, I was able to salvage it, hopefully. Live and Learn. I got too complicated too quick and fumbled at a critical moment.

Alright. DONE for Tonight. This is as far as I've Gotten. Not Bad. Most of the major Masses of Steel have been Established. Unfortunately I got some Partying to do tomorrow so I might not be able to work further until Sunday or Monday. Which is Fine, for the Idea I got I wanna take some time to Think and Plan. Maybe even scribble around on a piece of paper. This is gonna be Cool, Folks, Trust Me!
