Nothing like being there David. Either way you will learn loads and really climb up that learning curve.

Very nice work

Happy (belated) birthday Brian

Sounds like a pretty good score really. Welcome aboard.

The safest option (if you can keep the blade cool enough and have the width to do so) is to make a narrower blade. The edge is getting pretty thin and though you may be okay you may also get a crinkle cut edge when you quench. If you do want to reHT, have some heavy pieces of metal half clamped in your vice so you can clamp the edge straight from the quench. YMMV.

This video might shed some light... plus it’s quite cool.

Thanks Brian. Saved me a few bob there.

That sounds interesting...

Wow Maciej. I can see why it’s a favourite project.

Seems to be a lot of blue in that blade. We’re there any Orcs or Goblins nearby? Wish my dad had given me a blade like that... probably best he didn’t . Looks nice.

Hang in there bud.

That’s really cool.

Hi Tom. Sorry I don’t know anything about this. Was that diagram on this forum? If so, can you link the thread?
