Here's part of my basement. One of the challenges here is to make the part not look like it was made on a CNS mill. I have some experience making parts that look old for some restoration projects. |

My wife would arrange the swap in a second, she keeps giving me hard time over the order in my shop.
I am not going to show her your picture. |

You could always disencourage her, by advancing that she would start disputing the sugar can place with that of the screw drivers .

Mine is smaller than Fernando's. the kitchen and dining room table are my work areas, hand tools hidden in closets and drawers wherever there is room. only powered tools are a dremel and a worksharp linisher. there is a 'man cave' workshop in the community centre just across the road from me i can use, they have some power tools, drill press, band and table saws, sanders, grindstone, etc. i'd prefer a lathe, milling machine, forge, power hammer and a real full sized slack belt sander/linisher.

I feel your pain! When we were looking for a house, my requirement was full size basement. We were lucky to find it. But I am a hoarder, so there is stuff everywhere.

By the way, Foxbat ...
Can you show us your entire sword ... without the cross bar, of course ? |

I had the great fortune to visit the Imperial armoury at the Hofburg in Vienna. They had a couple of boar hunting swords speciments. Please see below for some amateur photos.

I’m glad you enjoyed the photos Foxbat. Unfortunately the lighting was weak in the museum. In fact I triggered the alarm when I came too close to photograph some halberds makers marks. I’m glad they didn’t throw me out
Merry Christmas to all. |
