January 30, 201313 yr Author Twisted and flatten it is that all you have to do? I keep the twist at welding heat and brush and flux till flat.
January 30, 201313 yr This is sweet! Can't wate to get out and try it! I got 2 files and 3 pieces of flat bar to twist!
January 30, 201313 yr Pugh Man you do realise that you need to forge weld the billet before you twist it right?
January 30, 201313 yr Stack them, weld the ends, one end has a rod to hold with. Heat, flux, heat to weld temperature, hammer on anvil, heat, twist, hammer flat on anvil... Right?
January 30, 201313 yr welding both ends can cause a problem of buckling, whereas welding only one end allows slippage to get a smooth clean weld. your call. I dont weld at all, I tie wire.
January 31, 201313 yr Very nice blade, clean pattern, If you use the tie wire, do you just avoid hitting the wire and move it when needed, or weld it into the pile? Any special wire or just uncoated steel?
January 31, 201313 yr Author I'm offering simple answers to simple questions. Pattern welds are not simple. And I will not divulge all my hard earned knowledge in a public forum. Sorry guys. PM me and I will help if I can.... just not here. All these questions have already been asked and answered somewhere on this site. I found the info here and so can you. Cheers and thanks for looking!
