I decided to try and make a gun barrel pipe hawk.

Forge welding in a piece of file for the bit.

That is quite a transformation! Thanks for sharing the process with us.
Interesting - I woulda tried to make a pistol out of it before thinking of a hawk - bunkr - but then I anin't never been accused of being the sharpest nail in the pail either.... pnic
No money for a lock :'(
