MattBower Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 That is very cool. I know a guy who's made some that way. It's a lot of work. Quote

Wesley Chambers Posted March 17, 2012 Author Posted March 17, 2012 One better, this is an archive link to the free volumes of SA http://www.archive.o...rican-1845-1909 this is a link directly to the issue http://www.archive.o...ican-1895-09-21 MUCH higher quality and detailed demo on page 183 I love that they mention to work you "toughest swedish iron" at a dull red to make it sure it wont crumble on you later, oh and to keep the parts from sticking when you flatten them, just rub some lead all over the piece...

NeatGuy Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 Here is an additional scan of this issue. I scanned some other issues from my collection that relate to blacksmithing.http://www3.telus.net/public/benowak/SciAmer%20Sept%2021%201895%20-%20page%201.jpghttp://www3.telus.net/public/benowak/SciAmer%20Sept%2021%201895%20-%20page%202.jpghttp://www3.telus.net/public/benowak/SciAmer%20April%2011%201874.jpghttp://www3.telus.net/public/benowak/SciAmer%20Aug%2026%201868.jpg brad Quote
Bentiron1946 Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 Yeah, that's a good idea, rub lead all over it and then try and sell it in California. The things that we used to do and get away with, oh my! Quote
