  2. This may come as a surprise but Leaf steel is pretty Hard and durable when it's the way it's supposed to be, but when you put an edge on it, it will not be a very good edge. one thing i learned from stock removal leaf springs is that smaller knifes are terrible if not heat treated but bigger blades that don't need to be razor sharp are OK if you don't heat treat it. but i would recommend heat treating, it's a lot of fun too see the difference between a heat treated knife and non heat treated.

    where is this? not in iceland is it?
  4. wish i could do 1/100 as well as you do great work
  5. get some decent steel, car springs are very good and old files. second is the steel pipe protected against the fire? fire brick or fireproof wool? because it will start to rust or even melt if you don't protect it. other than that it seems pretty good. enjoy your new addiction :D
  6. i'll be asking my gods to give you two strength to get through this :)

    my accident

    Wow! you are a lucky man and tough (blacksmithing kinda makes you that way). glad you survived but a broken neck is no joke, lucky you didn't damage you spinal cord
  12. thanks for the advice guys i will try the pipe within the pipe to control the airflow. like Dablacksmith says i only need it to heat treat the knifes... the brake drum forge is just too small to heat up the whole blade. :P
  13. HAHA! thanks i was thinking about 5 holes...might do more just a little smaller i will update this thread until i'm finished!
  14. well...i've had enough of my brakedisk forge...it's too small . i was wondering if my new plans would work for a mid sized forge(really want to make a big bowie blade) my paint skills are through the roof!
  15. ahh i see...he must be one of those "i learn blacksmithing for one day and then i can make a damascus sword" type of fantasy "blacksmith". really bugs me that everyone that i know think i can make a viking sword or katana and i always tell them i have to do this for a long time and get the right equipment to such a thing... i would gladly like to have help from someone that has been doing this for longer or even shorter than i have...swapping knowledge is the only thing that makes you better at this trade:) so sorry you had to waste your time on one of those "Blacksmiths"
  16. it says 2008 on the pictures...something doesn't add up...
  17. really nice work they are doing, love the theme they got going. i was stunned by the Dohrtoc sword!. do you know them well?
