thanks for your replies and pictures, i can deal with bodkins and broadheads etc, its just the barbed ones, and the crecent ones, and the twisted ones etc, i thought that the barbed ones may also include a forge weld maybe?

Melting steel/silver/copper/bronze etc
monty replied to ErictheRed1990's topic in Smelting, Melting, Foundry, and Casting
http://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/24270-melting-copper/ the melting pot is a thick walled cap offf something, basically a short cylinder, without the top half, i also added "lid" a bit of scrap plate, piled th coas aroud a waited ( add carcoal to the inside to stop oxidisation/weird ceramic that forms with copper when it absorbs oxygen) you need to have a large fire even to melt copper so i dont think steel is possible in a forge http://www.blksmth.com/heat_colors.htm -

How Do I go about making an axe
monty replied to lakeside forge's topic in Axes, Hatchets, Hawks, Choppers, etc
buy the book "swedish blacksmithing" it s written by someone who studied with a gransfors smith and it has a step by step for axe forging, or just make like a hot cut but draw blade out more downwards, and put the appropriate eye shape -
the dark block in the crucible is charcoal

the cast was successful i melted it in some sort of cap, similar to a small thick walled pan, with a spout chiseled into one side, and a bar welded on, i then made a huge fire, put in said copper, probably about an ounce then put a peice of scrap plate ontop, places some semi charred wood in the "crucible" then built up the fire around it and left it, when i saw a molten mess in the bottom, i blowtorched the angleiron trough with a small propane burner, to evaporate water, and poured it straight in, once it had cooled from a liquid state, i knocked it out, and cooled it off.it wasnt a perfect ingot so i intend to remelt the bad half this afternoon, and hopefully get pics! thank you for all your help monty
