When I was at Kai´s the other day, he proudly presented me one of his last works, a caplifter for stylishly opening beer bottles. It´s made of mild steel. The torsion is first marked out at both ends with a chisel.
Then four strands are marked out. One strand is decorated with a hacksaw. Only then does Kai do the torsion work.
While the leaf can do with some refinement, I really fell in love with this technique, and have to try that out myself....! Props, mate!
Those are the adventures of Mr. Fimbulmyrk, in bushcraft and blacksmithing, mountainbiking and hiking, reenactment, writing, singing, dancing, stargazing and having a piece of cake and a coffee. Pray have a seat and look around you, but be warned - the forest´s twilight is ferocious at times.
