Fisher & Rustforge
Hey Fisher, I've been thinking about how ancient smiths made tools that worked in the wild, like hunting blades and fire starters. I'd love to hear your thoughts on making something sturdy yet simple for the outdoors.
Those old smiths knew the rhythm of metal and wood. Keep the design simple—just a blade or a fire starter, nothing fancy. Work with a single iron bar, heat it until it sings, then hammer it into a shape that feels solid in your hand. A straight, balanced edge is enough for hunting or cutting. For a fire starter, a small piece of flint and a bit of tinder works; it’s all about the right contact points. Let the tools breathe with nature, not with flashy tech. Keep the weight manageable, the edges true, and trust that the right moment will come when you need them.
Sounds like a plan—keep the hammer steady, let the iron breathe in the heat, and trust the rhythm of the forge. I’ll aim to keep the blade tight and true, just enough weight so the hand can feel every swing. And a good flint‑tinder combo can spark a fire faster than any modern gadget. Let’s get the iron singing, and the tools will speak for themselves when the hunt comes.
Sounds like you’re on the right path. Keep the focus on the quiet rhythm of the work and let the tools do their part when the time comes. Good luck.
Thanks, I’ll keep hammering in that steady rhythm and let the tools speak when the moment comes.
You’ve got the right mindset. Keep at it, and the tools will find their voice when the day arrives.
Glad to hear it, I’ll keep the hammer steady and the fire bright.We comply.Glad to hear it, I’ll keep the hammer steady and the fire bright.
