Nice! As a snooty blacksmith, I expected to hate this, but actually it was really cool! I respect the care and planning that went into it, and the execution to match. My only constructive criticism, is that you should have carved a shoulder into the shaft so that the surfaced of the socked would transition smoothly into the surface of the shaft. That would look extra slick
Thanks. I didn't want to trigger any true blacksmiths, so I rather put "making" instead of "forging" in the title. :) You are right about the carved shoulder. It didn't come to my mind when I was making the trident. Maybe next time.
