What is Heet(that fluid thats highly flamiable)made up of?is it normal lighter fliud or what?

Will the Olly hammer work for damascus?

Can alcoline be used as a forge welding flux?

it must be welding heat or it wont move any metal

well u see i would do all those steps but my tutor is way to lazy to teach me properly and i cant do anything about it bcoz its a free course. i cant find the getting started page

well u see my tutor told me that wen u hit hot metal carbon or that grey flake stuff flies off is carbon mabey u guys call it scale but we call it carbon

what?dont u know?its that grey slag tipe stuff

so how should i insert the back of the knife into the antler with out making cut lines on the outside of the antler?

i read over the hofi hammer tutorial and i cant seem to understand the he explains the holding of the hammer.

well u see it takes ages to get up to heat,wen i anealed it it was still extreamly stong and i flatened out a piece over a hole day and i put it in the vise and bent it to about a 50 degree angle and it shot back like a saw blade does.i know its high in carbon because it puts out a horrible amount of carbon.i made a chisel from it and i havent even hardened it yet and ive used it in concrete,metal and it still has a sharp edge without any dents or damage done to it.i doubt it that its an old form of re bar because its got a high pitch pin when u hit it and its very bright with a spark test

ok ill try that

whats that?

sorry about the qaulity of the pics, i cant seem to get it right

Does anybody know what this stuff is called or what it is?its extreamly high in carbon.

the blade isnt tempered yet

do u have a picture of it? if it wont work then where can i finds plans to build a mini trip hammer?like the Olly hammer
