Michael Cochran Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 How what works? Making mokume gane discussions and tutorials are easily found all over the web with a little search. Learning how to harden nonferrous alloys can also be found with a quick search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinobi Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I wouldn't expect hardening it would be necessary for a bolster, but you are correct that it can be work hardened. Hammer it down to a bit over your finished dimensions without annealing and then just sand/file/whatever to finished size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
