Kagi-ba-Sword forging shop
Four people
JimR, DSweet, Gugi and Paco664 were generous enough to lend me their Kamisoris.
I ended up with a good cross section. A vintage and newer Iwasaki no.1, an Iwasaki No.2.
and two other vintage razors-one very small.
I have studied them, measured them, taken pictures of them and shaved with them.
But the place to make them is lagging behind.
So, in the meantime I thought it would be of interest to see the progression of building a traditional Japanese sword forging shop or Kagi-ba.
Here is the basic plan
Now the actual construction. Prior to the build a wind storm ripped the Tyvek house wrap off the wall. The house itself is also in a state of construction but that is a whole 'nother story.
