Oh yeah, baby. It's moving along just fine.
I finished up forging at taper for the bick and the stake. I then used an angle grinder to square off the stake.
Holding this thing in a pair of tongs has been a nightmare. I had to modify an pair of existing, poorly forged, thin jawed beater tongs in order to hold this goofy shaped thing. I didn't even heat it up with the charcoal forge, I just did it in the propane forge.
I will harden and temper this thing at night time using the charcoal forge. I want the entire top portion above the stake to be a nice dull red before I dunk it in oil.
