Ok thanks I'll give that a try and see if I can fix it like that.

Hello everybody. I am very new to blacksmithing as in just started 2 hours ago. The problem I am having is while trying to make a rake for my homeade coal forge( actually charcoal until I can order the real stuff) I was trying to spread a 1/4 inch round stock and ended up getting it way to thin. I did not get the width so I was wondering is it ok to fold it back onto itself to build it back up and then try it again? I know I've read about folding it in knife making but I was just wondering about for tool making. Also I know 1/4 is small anyway but it was what I had on hand and just wanted practice. Any advice is appreciated.
