That would be great if I had a belt grinder I still have to draw file my bevels
-
Yes setting the secondary bevel is my real question I've used land key to do it a few times but I was just wondering about some other people's ideas
-
What's the best way to fashion the cutting edge on a fresh tempered blade
-
True Austin it is unfortunate but I'm going to attempt to put them to good use here again as rebuilds up north with the leprechaun
-
Now on the path to fixing up my anvil local smithy burned down owner gave even thing that was left after he got packed up to move to Tennessee
-
I got this set up for 150 centaur forge pot and champion blower #40 good deal?
-
This is Jina a rough idea I just drew in my book
-
If I was to build a side blast would I need to build a fire pit or just some sort of barrier around the pipe
-
Actually Loki that second one you have there with the two large dirt mounds I really like seems simple and effective with too much fuel to keep it burning
-
This was what I thouht about with out the hand bellows I don't have a second person to help build or man them
-
That's kinda my idea building a frame to cast a sand form I saw something like that on Google with a twin bellows system
-
Well I just want to get it where I can have a blade up to 15" or so and be able to heat treat it
-
YA that is mostly what I had in mind just hadn't been able to figure out a way to get started im still doing some work on paper to figure out a design that I can build in a weekend that the kids can't destroy when they go play outside
-
Well llike I'm currently in the process of revamping the design a bit ought now to allow pas through of longer steels just not sure how that's gonna work yet any ideas
-
Sure beats my design at least when it rains you can still work lol
