Manriki chains, shurikens and some other oriental throwing and chain weapons like that "Kau Sin Ke" steel whip.

I don't make any kind of swords for sale.

Actual forging is not really the problem, but i can't harden so long metal objects with my small furnace and my quench tank is also not very suitable for longer objects. (Japanese swordsmiths have much longer furnaces in their forge.)

I make usually a little bit smaller weapons like axes.

What are the dimensions for your quench tank? I've just been using a bucket.

Lol, professionalism doesn't require expensive tools!
I'm currently working with a vice grip, pliers, a mapp gas torch, an angle grinder, and a big plastic bucket.

...And I already have a Bo Shuriken commission...

If people don't know how to do something, I guess the thing to do is charge them to do it for them.

That sounds very interesting. I also work tools just like that almost seven years when this thing was only a hobby and not any kind of income. :)

I build my first forge in year 2004 and now i have been "professional" in whole two years. (Or at least in the summer times..)
I work mainly in May to November, because my forge is located in old barnhouse and it's like a freezer in the winter time.
