Today, was a full day of cleaning and setup, as well as a bit of smelting. Smelting down old spent bullet shells we had lying around. Its kind of recycling... We also spent a good chunck of the day focused on cleaning up winter's production, preparing for more video production, and shot a few videos of the casting, unfortunately, all we got was the second pour which was mostly slag. We'll just have to smelt out some more! #mugenforge #experiments #fireart #firearts #fireartist #fireartistry #fireartstudio #alloy #alloys #unexpected #unexpectedresult #unexpectedresults #playingwithfire #steellife #steellifemetal #knifemaker #knifemaking #knifemakingcommunity #knifesculpture #stl #stlouis #stlgram #stlouisgram #stlart #stlartist #stlartists (at Mugen Forge) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-sNVNHjZIM/?igshid=jj0c7ab31bx9

A quick pic. We have been busy with experiments with heart treatment, applying clay, and polishing. A new 25% mixture of ferric chloride really brings out the hamon like magic. The knife on the bottom is headed to its new owner. #mugenforge #heattreat #heattreatment #heattreating #handmade #handmadeknife #handmadeknives #handforged #handforgedknife #handforgedknives #knifehardening #fireart #firearts #fireartist #fireartistry #fireartstudio #playingwithfire #steellife #steellifemetal #knifemaker #knifemaking #knifemakingcommunity #knifesculpture #stl #stlouis #stlgram #stlouisgram #stlart #stlartist #stlartists (at Rock Hill, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/B86lAUeHzWk/?igshid=e4p0pndgavnb

Woohoo! I tore the labrum off my left shoulder a few weeks ago, partially dislocated my shoulder while asleep. I have been religiously engaged in physical therapy and healing in an effort to stave away surgery to correct it. Well... finally back at the anvil, carefully swinging the hammer. From a donated suspension spring... maybe I should have cut a bigger piece off. #mugenforge #assemblyline #handforged #handforgedknife #handmade #handmadeknives #playingwithfire #steellife #steellifemetal #knife #knifemaker #knifemaking #knifemakingcommunity #knifesculpture #stl #stlouis #stlgram #stlouisgram #stlart #stlartist #stlartists (at Mugen Forge) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH3eaMGjc8A/?igshid=djflpautknca

We decided to do a bit of an experiment. Both of these knives are going to be completed as honesuki kitchen knives. We have always quenched our knives in water, and have achieved good results, but have heard other smiths attest that oil is the way to go. How could we know for ourselves? Both knives are fully hand forged from W2. The knife in the right was winched in Parks 50, the knife in the left in water. What we are seeing, and the picture does not show, is the depth of hardening from the different quenching mediums. The oil does not harden as deeply. As a result, the knife in the right has developed a small hamon roughly 1/8” to 3/16” in width. While beautiful, we prefer the greater hardening depth. #mugenforge #assemblyline #handforged #handforgedknife #handmade #handmadeknives #playingwithfire #steellife #steellifemetal #knife #knifemaker #knifemaking #knifemakingcommunity #knifesculpture #stl #stlouis #stlgram #stlouisgram #stlart #stlartist #stlartists (at Mugen Forge) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGLAmjLDPTv/?igshid=11xbez52lynwc

In starting Mugen Forge, we wanted to create a business that while focused on producing high quality knives, was not limited to knife production. A customer reached out to us for help with his car, wanting aid mounting a new air suspension system that might require the development and production of a few custom pieces. This is one such piece. A mounting bracket for the air compressor. We will be 3D printing a prototype from PLA, and then casting the mount from aluminum via lost PLA. We are super excited at the protect of producing such a piece, and in pushing our casting abilities so much further. @triforcesamurai #mugenforge #experiments #fireart #firearts #fireartist #fireartistry #fireartstudio #alloy #alloys #unexpected #unexpectedresult #unexpectedresults #playingwithfire #steellife #steellifemetal #knifemaker #knifemaking #knifemakingcommunity #knifesculpture #stl #stlouis #stlgram #stlouisgram #stlart #stlartist #stlartists (at Mugen Forge) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBWWIjMD7fh/?igshid=h16llqx2j07h

This collection of pieces was created as an internal challenge, they feature several twins created to test the differences between quenching in water versus Parks 50 oil. We just thought they looked cool all lined up... #mugenforge #assemblyline #handforged #handforgedknife #handmade #handmadeknives #playingwithfire #steellife #steellifemetal #knife #knifemaker #knifemaking #knifemakingcommunity #knifesculpture #stl #stlouis #stlgram #stlouisgram #stlart #stlartist #stlartists #keepgrinding (at Mugen Forge) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBCBk-GD1tD/?igshid=1b5w7hlzjkw1c
