Build a small trebuchet and use it for the weight.

I'm amazed at your skill in design, execution and presentation.
A beautiful work, inspiring.
Thanks

As said earlier if you have a power hammer and it's wrought....

Sell for scrap and buy some more useful steel.

If all else fails, ...candle holder.

I would never part with it because the chances of getting another one is 1 in a million in my life time. No mater how useless. If I couldn't figure out what to to with it, it would just remind me that I wasn't applying my creative abilities.

Have fun

Quote:
It seems to me that once tempered, the steel is no longer at max hardness. If I begin at that point and temper for a second, and possibly a third time, am I not reducing the hardness each time, and thereby arriving at a steel that is too soft to produce a good edge? Quote



Think of the steel as paint, made up of a number of different colors.( austenite, cementite, martensite etc.
If they are not mixed well you see each individual color. ( first temper)
If you want them to combine to make a new color you have to mix well.( repeat tempering)

I've been tring to understand this also.
Hope this isn't over simplified or off base.
Please feel free to correct if I'm to far off base.

Thanks for all the positive feed back, since I can't do to much with the building until more funds appear I'm going to try my hand at a weather vane.

Give the neighbors something to shoot at. I told one that I put that stick up there for the hawks to land on. He said: "you want them around?" uh oh :(

This one?
