Hardfacing rod, Revisited:
jeremy k replied to DocsMachine's topic in Blacksmithing, General Discussion
Jr - I'll second the use of the edges on my anvil (same rod{MG740} was used). It's holding up very well - JK -

JR Strasil's method - MG740 welding rod on the finish passes. - holding up well on my 165 lb PW. - JK

Colton - I've done some small engine turning with a drill press and a pencil - use the eraser as the polisher - just a little down pressure and you have a circle mark - over lap them as you choose for a pattern. The smoother or more polished the part is to start with the better - I've also used a wood dowel rod - it holds up better than the eraser. Thats just the cheapo way I've done it to get the job done. -JK

Neal - I will have the helve hammer (weather permitting) running at the Albany Pioneer Days show(Minnesota), Sept. 12,13,14, 2008. I've helped run the blacksmith shop there for the last 3 years along with other members of Central Minnesota Blacksmiths group.

John - last I talked with Stan he is still having the hammer-in. - Unfortunately I don't think I will be able to make it this year. I did have a great time last year meeting some guys from here and others. ......Stan - I hope you can get someone to forge all night again . I think I remember doing that last year LOL.

Another good day of demoing - weather was perfect - not quite as many people as Yesterday but still had many onlookers. The kids were happy to get a hand made nail to take home with them and the parents were happy to see them actually occupied for a few minutes while I made the nails for them . Life is Good!
