I Forge Iron

I recently saw a gate a blacksmith made and finally realized that the coloring was from tempering not any coating, patina etc. It was stainless steel.

My question is, after heating and beating stainless it looks dull. How do you polish? it to show off the heat related coloring. Once clean a torch can be used to temper to color choice.
If you grind it, you lose all the hammer marks that add to the appearance.

People's suggestions?

electro polish......then go back and add the temper colors...... Giuseppe Lund is QUITE good with this.


Someone told me that the gate was made by Giuseppe.

cheers ian
