maybe i need to sign up to a show like these. I have hit a block and just can't get around it. have a barrel and lock inlet but just can't work up the juice to finish inletting the trigger and guard.
maybe i need to build another pistol to get the flow back. maybe i need to go lay on a beach and give free suntan lotion applications. maybe..............

I'm with you Erick. I watched the show with interest for some time then lost interest due to the repetitiveness of the way everything was conducted. Same stress different projects. There were some good smiths on the show though.

I am probably the only person out there that doesn't like the Forged in Fire show. They take good blade smiths, put them in a pressure cooker timed event where they rush their work, make mistake after mistake to the point that their finished product sometimes looks very amateurish.

I posted my opinion on another board and got flamed for even suggesting that the show ran contrary to what a true craftsman is all about, which isn't about the speed of production.

Whether I am making a bow or flintlock, if I get in a hurry BAD things happen.

I know a guy who won that. He hated the rushing. Some of those guys are great, some are merely arrogant. It’s entertaining but would be better given more time per challenge.

My wife objects unless there's flintlock boys.
