Blacksmith Husband Making a Bickern Stake for an Upcoming A&S Class
My blacksmith husband decided he needed a bickorn or bickern stake for an upcoming Arts & Sciences class that he will be teaching. Funnily enough, the two names for this pointed stake actually have different etymologies. "Bickern" is "beak iron", while "bickorn" is "beak horn". They are handy little tools. However, he has always improvised them with drifts or punches held in the vise. Now that he will be demonstrating, he decided to get it together.

This is also one of his first serious uses of the chain holdfast. Works great! But it does make using a sledgehammer rather awkward, having to short-stroke every swing because of the location of the stirrup. Even so, it is a hundred times more preferable to using a one-handed hammer, and makes this kind of heavy work possible alone without power tools.
For anyone curious about what exactly the 'SCA' is -- The Society for Creative Anachronism is an international, non-profit educational organization that studies and recreates the medieval and Renaissance years of 600-1600AD.
