I don't know, Mikeeman, what do you want? Give us a year working on blade geometry and I think we could make a couple swords that live up to the support, or anything (or things) else you might want. You put in that much, and we'll spend a year focusing on learning to make what ever it is you wanted!

Lol. I'll think about it. We'll see what next week or so brings. Might be making some very big purchases.

I've added a new reward!
Custom projects! There are many things that we could make that either haven't occurred to me, or that I may be hesitant to mention directly on the kickstarter page.
So, namely, if you're looking for a sword, or any other sizable project, let me know! We'll work out a price, and you can either donate with a down payment, or the entire price up front. I am offering MAJOR price breaks for upfront payment. So if you're looking for a viking sword, langseax, or Medieval sword with simple geometry and single/no fuller, let me know! Donate the total amount for 50% off what it'll cost when we start offering them for sale, or 20% off if you give a down payment!
We're over half way done with our campaign, and we're at 38%. We need to step it up if this is going to happen, guys.
Note: Swords and other complicated pieces will be the last rewards we fulfill. We aren't familiar with working this material, so we want a basis of familiarity before we jump in feet first and punch out a sword. Expect fulfillment late 2016/ early 2017.

I just pledged $5. I wish I could more, but it's not the best moment for me.

If you've been waiting to donate, now's the time! Why you might ask?
Because tomorrow's my birthday!
So come out and throw $10 in, or if you're feeling adventurous, put down $100 as a down payment on a future sword project. It'll net you 20% off the final price!

Here's what Gavin and I worked on yesterday. We visited the shop of our local blacksmithing guild president, and got some more time hitting metal. My previous sessions have been about four hours or less, and we spent about 8 yesterday, so I'm beat. Between Gavin and I though, we walked away with four punches, a slotting punch, and a drift. So we're ready to start making our own tools! This way we can start a collection of hammers and tongs while we tear apart the backyard and get it ready for building. We're at 72% on the kickstarter, and we've gotten a lot of support and constructive criticism from you guys. I am eternally grateful for all you've done. If you haven't donated yet, and would like to, don't forget! You've got 7 days. Cheers Attachments:

And we enter the final hour. 65 hours left, and $100 to go. Now is the time to jump on a down payment on a custom sword.
Thank you again to everyone who has donated. We appreciate the support

I hadn't really considered it was a possibility, but we're only $370 from unlocking the first stretch goal, with 28 hours in the kickstarter!
The first stretch goal will unlock spoons with each cutlery set, and as an added bonus, I've added a "Choose a lower reward" included with each cutlery reward and higher. In addition to your cutlery set, you'll get a bottle opener, set of wall hooks, or keychains. Your choice!
Come check it out, we're doing it folks!

Ah, we enter the final hour and we are less than $300 away from the first stretch goal.
There is still time! ACT NOW!
Cheers, folks! I look forward to making more stuff with you
