Forge Work

[A. G. Maisey]

I'm still trying to work up enough enthusiasm to get back to doing some serious work --- the End-of-Year holiday period is always an interruption to routine, and frankly, I don't like it all that much. One of the spinoffs from my present lack of enthusiasm for work is that I spend more time drifting through odds & ends on the net that I normally regard as non-essential viewing.

I've just clicked onto a thread in the Ethno Forum about making a golok.

It is in my opinion very valuable viewing for any keris interested person.

Anyone who has not yet had a look at this would be doing themselves a favour by putting aside a bit of time and closely watching the linked YOUTUBE presentations in this thread.

I know a few keris people are currently playing around with doing some forge work themselves, the linked videos in this thread are a really good tutorial:-
