Just a few things I've made recently.  Comments?

Kind of a mix, I guess. I am going for my ticket in welding at the moment, but they don't teach you weapon smithing at Kwantlen :P

Yep - I'm a steel fabricator/welder.  Those are made from solid mild steel - the same stuff that var doors and so on are made from.  They aren't anywhere near the precision you'll find at House of Knives where all of their stock is laser-cut stainless, but they are hand made, and they will *work* if they need to.  The swords are all full-tang (meaning the metal from the blade continues in one solid piece through the handle), and the axe head is completely solid with a 1.5 inch hickory shaft.  The old english looking one is a prop I made for a photo studio, and being made from aluminum it would not function too well in combat.  Kinda like smacking someone with a bag of empty pop cans.  The rest are deadly though :)
