jameswood 22 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 First go at one if these, just too cool not to try. had some issues that were mostly as a result of rushing or not paying attention but I’m happy with it over all. Would like to make another with some twists and stuff. Inlay on the socket would be cool too but I only have so much patience! wrought socket and core, wrought and mild teeth, en42j and 15N20 edge. 12 Link to post Share on other sites

clint c 157 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 A real work of art. Your pattern welding skills are exceptional. Clint Link to post Share on other sites
Alan Longmire 3,136 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 So, how'd you manage welding on the wings? Are they pinned, tacked, or just freehand in the fire? I'm both curious and somewhat jealous... Link to post Share on other sites

I did it in gas but I think I might have managed it without if it was in coke. I mean they might not have ended up in the right place of course! I’m afraid I don’t have any pictures of the blade but here’s another, yes it’s got little gaps! 3 Link to post Share on other sites
