  1. To save a little experimentation, would the cold chisel be faster than hot cutting? The little bit of each I've done, the hot cut seems faster. I'm pretty opposed to the grinder method, since I just moved and have no idea where my grinder is at the moment...
  2. I happened upon a piece of 1/8" plate the other day, about 4" wide and 15" long. I would like to turn this into pieces about 1" wide. Is there an easier way to do this with hand tools other than heating and hot cutting one bit at a time? I only have the forge size to heat about 2" of length. Thanks.
  3. This is great. I may have to try one of these tomorrow. Dang this daylight savings, dark at 5 garbage.
  4. Ok...Complete newbie here (been forging two weeks; already gashed my thumb and wore all the skin off my hammerin' finger). Help me vision this "made from one piece" thing. The piece was drawn down to a point, then split from the thick end down, then each piece of the top worked? I've become fascinated by the whole splitting thing in general, especially getting the piece split that far down (all I've tried so far was a leaf stem).
