Ed Steinkirchner Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Might as well toss this in here. Its 4 bars of 1/4" square about 8" long, incised on all four sides, twisted in the middle 6", then forge welded for the last inch on each end, then twisted AGAIN (opposite direction as the individual bars) then scarfed and welded to the rest of the piece (in this case a fire shovel) Hope that makes sense!

"twisted in the middle 6", is where you're throwing me off. I think you are saying you twisted the 4 individual pieces separately, then welded them together and then twisted the entire group the opposite direction. Is this correct?

Ed Steinkirchner Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Yes that's exactly correct, and by "the middle 6" " i mean to twist all but one inch of each end of the starting rods, leaving the ends straight for welding together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les L Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Thank you for clearing this up for me. It’s going to be a while before I have a chance to to try it, but it will be the next twist I try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
