I think you will be perfectly fine using hot rolled steel on this. Cold rolled steel has a little bit less tolerance in dimention and usually very sharp edges, furthermore it is a bit compressed short under the surface which makes it also a little bit harder and tougher. But hot rolled steel would be the one to go for the usual blacksmith...

I think I will built a roof for the flue out of sheet metal and seal the gap in the roof with rabbit proof fence and some kind of heat resistant clay.

Daniel Lea (AKA 99pppo) replied to Daniel Lea (AKA 99pppo)'s topic in Blacksmithing, General DiscussionNice ideas. I will practice a lot more to make them and then also share my experience. Due being also a viking-reenactor I will have enough chances to test them in use! Btw I sent you a contact request on MSN just that you don´t wonder...

Daniel Lea (AKA 99pppo) replied to Daniel Lea (AKA 99pppo)'s topic in Blacksmithing, General DiscussionThank you very much! Knowing how they are used will help me a lot to make them properly. I will re-do it with all new knowledge I gathered about them. And if I happen to make them really really good I will do a little video tutorial so other people can also understand them better. Again thank you very much for your usefull comment!

Daniel Lea (AKA 99pppo) replied to Daniel Lea (AKA 99pppo)'s topic in Blacksmithing, General DiscussionI have to admit that I din´t knew how these broochs are used when I made the one on the picture. Now I know how they need to be in order to work best! I took a piece of 6mm round and wrapped the screw around it.

Daniel Lea (AKA 99pppo) replied to Daniel Lea (AKA 99pppo)'s topic in Blacksmithing, General DiscussionYea but I hope you can get the screw part on the corkscrew better than me, haven´t found out how to get that right yet. Be sure to close the brooch further than I did it here, I will have to change that also... Thanks for your comment!

Due to the fact that it is called "galvanized spiral tubing" I think it most certainly is galvanized =P. No seriously it is galvanized but the galvanization stands temperatures up to 180°C. At its hottest point it becomes perhaps 80 or 90 celsius, so I don´t worry about that. And I know some smiths that work with this since 20 years or so and they also never faced a problem with the galvanization either...

Hey Guys, yesterday I forged my first pattern welded billet out of a three layered bar I made previously. Basically just to practice firewelding and the technique of welding Damascus (or pattern welded steel in that case). It is very small and the knife itself is rather just for the decorative pattern and not heat treated or so. I welded the billet out of two layers of mild steel in which I clampwelded a piece of car spring. The holding bar I fixed with a faggot-weld to the billet. I used no welding machines... I forged 364 layers. A video of me welding the last fold you can see here: Here are some pictures (I etched the blade with boiling vinegar): If you have any advice for me for future projects I´d be glad to hear it. If you have a question I´d be glad to answer it. For now - kind regards - Daniel

This video is very well made and extremely informative. Plus these tongs seem to be very, very strong! I think I will try this method with some personal variation...

Just made myself an unhardened Hammer, that is simply annealed after I drifted it to a new handle size. One can feel by the rebound that it is very soft. I can also hammer in dents on the edge of the anvil or with other hammers without harming them. So I guess I will take that one to hit hardened tools with. So you can sleep relaxed from now on. BTW I made a hint in the video at the respective part telling about the Problem. Thanks again for your replies!
-
Thanks for your reply, some interesting thoughts there!
-
Ok good cause I have a hammer that I usually don´t use but for this it will be just fine :D!
-
Do you think it will be soft enough when I take a hammer I usually don´t use and anneal it as soft as it possibly can be to hit on hardened tools like the ball pean in the video?
-

I will either anneal the face of the ball pean used to make the divit or forge a special tool for it. Thanks for the safety advise!
