ThomasPowers Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I've often said that doing a billet weld is a lot easier than doing a drop the tongs weld. I worked a guy through his second time forging and first time welding during my campout over labour day---25 layer billet of bandsaw blade and strapping iron. I did the first welding pass and he did the next two folds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crunch Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Neat video, thanks for posting. I like the trick of twisting up the billet and then drawing it out again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYBOY Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Cool video, thanks for posting..I really like the forge design with the bricks like that.. Ive always said that welding billets is the easiest welding to do, espically in a gas forge..I mean its just stacking clean high carbon steel, fluxing and watching for it to get "wet"..Take out tap a few times a viola' a welded billet..I taught Lisa to do and she commented first day how easy it was in a gasser..

Glenn Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 It still bothers me that when he puts the billet under the power hammer and sparks are flying everywhere, he has no safety glasses on but tries to protect his eyes and face with his hand, leaving only one hand holding the billet. Many things can go wrong here very fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
