aight every one todays the day of how i forged my sword (the one in my pfp)
so a while back when me and my dad flew down to the southisland to go gold mining for a month and we where having a jolly old time having fun driving from one lake to the next camping and meeting peopel then one day we go to one of my grandmothers old freinds houses (since she used to live in the south island) and we where going to stop by and stay the night there.
and so we did we stay the night had dinner and all but the next morning instead of leaving my dad decided to fix one of her windows (he does this to every persons place he goes to) an then a day became 2 and the3 and the 5 and after about half of week the decreped run down house was spic and span and was perfect so we where ready top leave but instead of giving us money (my dad would have just not acepted money anyways) she instead leat us go through her late husbands forge shed and pick out what we want to take and so we went in there and found a few knifes and things(not finished) but low and behold i saw it it was rusted and decrepid and was basically a cutout of a sword but i took it any ways. after that my dad (who taught me how to drive at 11 and tryed to teach me how to weld) helped me actually no i wouldent say helped he did nothing.
but after i came home from the south island i imediatly got to work first i added about 30 cm's to it to turn it into a long sword then i welde two hilt peices to the sides and welded and that two peices at teh base then lastly i built my own forge and quenched it using waste oil
