Alex Middleton Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I finally got my new forge put together and started hammering away on this today. I didn't get very far, but its starting to take shape. I still have lots more forging to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Middleton Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 Well, this one picked up a good sized crack during the quench. One of the downsides of recycled steel I guess. I started a new one, but everything is going to have to go perfect if I'm going to get it done in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Dont feel bad. my first attempt shattered into 4 pieces when i quenched, my fault mind you. But hey my current one does look better atleast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Middleton Posted December 8, 2019 Author Share Posted December 8, 2019 Can't wait to see it John! My second attempt was an outright, abysmal failure. I tried to get really fancy, but my aspirations outpaced my forge welding skills. I'll revisit it sometime in the future, but at least I learned a good way to not go about about multibar construction. The good news is that I failed fast enough that I was able to crank out another attempt and the third try was the charm! There's one issue that I'm waiting on an answer to, but if that isn't a showstopper, I should have it done in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Must say i love the idea of what youre trying to do there. I wanted to do a tanto design but it didnt quite work out. I worry mines to thin but its made from steel designed for stress so it should hold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
