keykeeper Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Nice work, Saiga. What was the parent metal used? Known or unknown? Looks like it took a very nice polish, also. Forge on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saiga308 Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 Nice work, Saiga. What was the parent metal used? Known or unknown? Looks like it took a very nice polish, also. Forge on! Thanks for the kind words folks! The metal was a piece of 1/2" round bar steel that I had welded together in shop class back in 1990....I was a terrible welder but since it was the only welding that I had done I kept the piece in my shop. It is VERY heavy for its size, but I don't know what it is.:confused: I did press the edge sdieways against a brass bar to see if it would chip or get bent, but it came back to true so I am hoping that I lucked out and got the heat treat right. I cut that original bar into 3 blanks, so if this one goes well I will keep using it for the next two. I have some Bocote wood, and some Pink Ivory!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
