Russell , sounds like you have some structural cable there. Good stuff! I been working with it this summer and find that it welds pretty easy.
If your pieces are long enuff(2'+), ya only need to weld one end to start with. Otherwise just tack the ends a little. Cut the heat back a bit on yer arc welder. 3 heats should weld up a piece about 6", enuff for a blade. Then take it to the anvil and hammer it well while rolling. Hard part is closing up those places between the individual strands. Seems like it takes a little more work than fine stranded cable.
