The normalizing and annealing worked out.

I had a 1.25 in. 1045 bar and made my first axe drift out of it with a hammer and anvil. Bought the press because of it.

Thanks Jerrod.
-
No Gerald a press. Soon hopefully though.

No just case hardened.
-
Thanks Alan.

I have a 2" diameter bar of 1060 from McMaster Carr that is case hardened. Does anyone know if normalizing and annealing would make this viable for forging axes?

I just wanted to to give a shout out to Burt Foster for his excellent videos. As I'm sure most know Burt is a Master Bladesmith with the ABS and makes amazing knives. Last month he started to make some videos and put them out for download on his web site burtfoster.com. I have a secondary job where we are encouraged to watch movies, (to keep us awake), so I'm always looking out for videos about forging and knife making. I also like to financially support makers for their sharing of information by purchasing their books and videos and through patreon. I have learned a lot from videos by J. Nei
