Actually you don’t need super expensive equipment like this, you could do it with bricks wood and a hairdryer, you could use sandpaper for engraving like he did here. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eKmfma6wj9i8ZdY.html
When it still warm rub a brass wire brush. It will melt slightly leaving the meetal a golden colour. It look really good. I learnt that from a guy from the herberton historic village when i was on holiday there
Out of all the blacksmiths ive watched, he's the only one who has the funkiest looking automatic hammer. I LOVE IT 😆

Seeing tutorials like this really makes me wish I had the equipment to try it. And if I was to try something like this, I’d also try heat treating the scales to change their colour slightly. Would give it a unique look.
