JPH Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 sorry that this took so long to get done, but sometimes "life" happens...anyway here is the completed three core twist/counter-twist offest interupt pattern sword with a three piece bovine ivory (bone( grip with bronze and silver mounts. This one turned out OK so it seems. Sorry that the photos aren't all that hot but hey, I never claimed to be a photographer... JPH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPH Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 App: Welding is welding...it's not that hard to do, besides it is a basic skill after all..The hard part is getting the twists even and everything alaigned right. Now THAT is a real PITA to get done right. But the welding is just welding.. While you do need to know how to make 100% perfect welds 100% of the time, it's really not all that hard to do if you follow the "rules of welding"...It's just that when you do a sword in this fashion it's a bunch of rerally long welds..
