My dad is a blacksmith and I thought that some of you might be interested in seeing some of his tomahawks.

I really like that last one.

Your father isn't a blacksmith. He's an artist. And a good one at that.

Excellent work!  Your Dad is a blacksmith..why aren't you?  Sure some are cut out for it and some not, but unless you have an aversion to coal or steel, don't pass up the chance to learn at least the basics.  I have taught my grandsons so they can work a forge and you would be surprised how that helps one's employment resume' in many cases.  Besides you may like the craft.

    Then too; it is a great stress reliever..better to hammer steel rather than hammer that person who aggravates you so much! ;) ;D

I've been hammering for about as long as I can remember but I am no where near as good as dad is. I have my own coal forge and he has his propane forge.

If anyone is interested there are some videos of him hammering out a tomahawk on my youtube channel "freekforge1"
