Did not know about the book or video.
Thanks,

How do you make a guard for a knife and how are they fastened? I am new to blacksmithing and have been forging RR spikes some.

Thanks for the info. Decided to go with Hobart 6013 & 7014 (for thin stuff), from Tractor Supply. Used to weld a lot of 7018, 8018, & 11018 when I was in Navy about 35 years ago. Just bought an old Lincoln Cracker Box, waiting for electrician to hook me up a plug in. Plan to make some hardy tools, and brace up anvil and vise. Plan to use some 6011 on heaver metal. Thanks again

Has anyone used the welding rods from Harbor Freight? They are a lot cheaper and wondered how good they are.
Thanks,

How good are the flux cored wire mig welds, compared to solid wire welds?

Hello everyone. I am just getting started blacksmithing and really enjoy your site.
