Hunting knife with a walnut and bog oak handle, featuring a rather smug-looking bird pommel.
The blade is forged from an old leaf spring, while the bird is carved from mild steel. #blacksmithing

Due to natural predators such as fitters
welders have had to evolve extra false eye spots like an io moth

Holly molly sea holly is so cool looking.
I might have had a few strawberry daiquiris one night and bought about 200€ worth of the most interesting looking plants I could find online. So far it's been the best investment drunk me has made and the bumblebees agree #gardening #plants #seaholly

Herb chopper
Made entirely from salvaged materials
The blade was forged from some hardenable cultivator tine I picked up at an autojumble.
The ferrules were made from a bit of copper water pipe pulled from a skip, and the handles were carved from scrap hickory that was short for froe handles

Flame-colored titanium chopsticks
These colors remind me so much of the viper’s bugloss flowers growing around the place.
Started with some titanium stock and tapered it down on the lathe
Then heated them up and gave these snazzy utensils a fancy reverse twist.
