This is my first youtube video, still working out the technology, did this video as a basic intro to cable forge welding.

Excellent start. i found some cable a while back. this is going to be a future project.

Here is an interesting video.

Yeah that is a cool video which I have seen before, but I am not sure why you needed to post another persons video on my thread.

I would remove it if it would allow me but it won't.

but I am not sure why you needed to post another persons video on my thread.

Steve are you suggesting that I flag the thread so only you can post to YOUR THREAD?

Please stop the xxxxxxx match. I'm relatively certain that we all appreciate the multiple postings, regardless of who posted them. It's all good and we learn from them. To those who post, keep it up!
Thanks,
John

its all good.

What type of metal is in most cable?

There are different grades of carbon steel depending on the cable and its use, as well as different strand combinations. Many cable types are suitable for blades; some types you may run across are referred to as Plow steel, Improved Plow Steel, and Extra Improved Plow steel, which refers to the carbon levels in the steel. Higher carbon levels contribute to a higher hardness potential for blades.
