jukejoint Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 Okay don't tell no one bahahah 1/8x 1/4 flat bar you need 3 at least 36 inches long ,clamp them to a table or tack , use a torch it helps to have an extra set of hands so you can keep it tight ,on the MFC facebook page we have a short video of this process, but here is a ruff sketch I use a cowhide mallet to help flatten it after you finish run it in your forge to tighten it up heat and beat once again thanks to Wayne was a great conference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueRugger Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Sorry, I'm probably the only one that doesn't quite get the gist of the technique from the drawings. A bit more detail or a link would be very appreciated! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpearson Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 standard three strand braid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Cochran Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Looks like a standard braid to me just done from flat bar instead of whatever cordage or hair you'd normally braid. I like it and can see it used as a decorative element on a few projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
