thanks for the photo's. p.

Hey, just found some of these replies. Thanks. I'll try preparing the steel more, and less flux and not hitting so hard. I know the metal was clean so I'll keep going. thanks for the resource info also.

won't get much polishing done on that wheel before it fray's into nothingness!
any idea's on a better way to polish the iron? really. thanks eat wheel. pb

I have a buffing wheel but when I put anything to it, it just spins threads all over the shop. What part am I missing? need wax, no good for steel? I mean it did come with the grinding wheel set up. thanks. P.

I just signed on to this forum and have tons of questions. Starting with,
the horn on my anvil is very thick and has a blunt tip, I find I'd like to have a more pointed tip. What is the horn usually used for? I also have a bick anvil so I go back and forth. Is that normal? just a question. PBriel
