Petr Florianek Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) Heyho! i wanted to show you one quick project i just finished. Its saxon 6th spear with split socket, corrugated blade and brass socket ring in Salin I style all this is about 29 cm long, forged to shape from wrought, even the corrugations were forged, then ground. Ring is pressbleched over antler die, then brazed. all comments welcomed :-D Edited October 9, 2012 by Petr Florianek GULLINBURSTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Longmire Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Very cool, Petr! I have seen some with the "corrugation" running the full length of each half. Do you think this adds some sectional rigidity to the spearhead? Or is it just something they did, for whatever reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petr Florianek Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 I think its fashion thing as it was localised and didnt last too long. But i think its cool, much cooler if you can twist it in hand and feel the crossection :-) GULLINBURSTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Arthur Loose Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 The corrugation makes me hope that it works like aircraft wings when thrown and makes it spin, but it's probably just something you should tell people regardless! jloose.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Page Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Way cool! Nifty design, shame it didn't last. But no matter, you've brought it back! John Not all those who wander are lost. -J.R.R.

sachem allison Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 easier to pull out, like a blood groove, maybe? I haven't lived the life I wanted, just the lives I needed at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jake cleland Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 very cool - can you tell us some more about the pressblech? what thickness was the brass sheet? was the die flat or round? if flat, was it positive or negative? what kind of tool do you use for forming it? or do you use both positive and negative dies?

Petr Florianek Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 Jake- I am still waiting for my mill to come, so i forged the thin sheet from thicker one, i guess it was in the 0,3 mm thickness, which is still little too much. I had a patrice, it mean positive die carved from moose antler, then sheet, then lead plate and hammer it. works pretty smooth, but i am beginer :-) then i layed it on the 0,6 mm sheet, brazed on, formed a ring, brazed, here we go!
