Jim Erickson Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Started life as a surplus drill bit, but I think it turned out pretty well I think. I haven't tried heat treating yet, I wanted to get a feel for most of the processes, from forging to grinding to making a handle. I enjoyed every part. Can't wait to start my next project. Any critiques or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loneforge Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Nice job for a first. Plenty of info on HT in Knife making lessons and heat treat stickies. Keep at it! We want to see more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Erickson Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 My second project from this weekend. I wasnt sure where I was going, I just kind of let it guide itself. It was a tap to start, fairly small and pretty easy to forge. After reading a bit about high speed steel, this must have hardened with just air. I learn more and more each time if forge, I cant get enough, I want to learn more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
