Making an Italian Halberd from Wrought Iron
Ilya and myself have wanted to make a pole weapon from wrought iron with the proper forge welded construction for awhile. We wanted examined many halberds with specific attention on how the square socket appeared to be made and attached. We didnt have all the time in the word for this project but a lot of our original goals were accomplished by making one.

This was fun and we learned quite a bit about this item just by running through the steps of making one without a modern welder. I know that I truly look forward to further exploring these methods !
