Hawks rock!

I have made only one thus far (a rr spike hawk) but it was a blast to make and one of my scout kids taught me how to throw it. Nice work man.

very cool!

I take it the eye is made from pipe and the blade leaf spring and that you split the pipe and forge welded the bit into it?

I've made a few hawks, but always by cutting and drifting a solid piece. The few I've tried by wraping mild steel around the drift and welding spring in it has not come out right so far. Know I just need more practice, but may give your methoud a try.

Thanks for sharing,

Will

Jeff ...

Those look awesome! I love to see what others on these forums make themselves. I do woodburnings and make old style furniture for myself and family.
