  4. Well i already miged it its a small place hope it works ok i do have goog friend who is realy good at tig welding and he has a large tig welder ive never tried tig welding but i will keep that in mind i never thought of that
  5. i am already pretty good at mig welding self learned but i dont know about what welding does to metals witch brings me to my next question lol ive made 1 cut to many in my blade not pay attention when i set my jig up so would it be ok to mig weld up the cut normalize and go on ?? its only about 1/4 of a inch and isnt in the blade its in the spine my blade is 1/4 thick btw what im doing is making a parceul hollow handle about 2 inch's of it anyway
  6. What about a truck axle im not sure what type steel it is but could i weld it to spring aswell ?? i also have access to a tig welder
  7. I just checked out your site you sure do make some nice looking knives i hope i can make blades as nice as those one day
  8. Would it be ok to mig weld handles madw outa spring steel to a blade made outa spring steel before its heat treated and if it is after thay are welded would i nead to aneal again or normalize before i started heat treating ?
  9. fire clay mixed with ashe's and 2 inch thick fire brick its seems everytime i get a good smell of burning wood plus a little of that wet burning wood smell i feel bad and that is what the cowboy charcoal smelt like but iwas as dry as could be
  10. that is black pipe the tub is the only galv and i had read where it said the galv tub would work aslong as it was insulated good but as soon as i can ima change that to steel
  11. gudgeing by that guide its close inbetween 6 and 7 was about the oragne color i got it to but as i said it was in dim light
  12. ok well from what im reading i think im good i watched it real close in dim light it gor red and when i was trying to anneal i watched it red then a orange color all this was in dim light not night just dim
  13. well not anything real notable maybey a few when i pulled it outa my forge but i just thought that was just from raking out some coal aswell there where no sparks when i hammered and it wasnt just poping of sparks own its own ?
  14. spring steel from a truck was annealing and normalizing
  15. How do know if i burnt my steel i know its a newby question
