Gergely Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 A friend and mentor of mine made this tutorial video about forging a javelin head. Starting stock was 20x20 mm 1045/C45 Enjoy and share your opinion! Bests: Gergely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranchmanben Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I read everything wrong and was pretty excitited to see a european's take on forging a javelina head. Not what I expected but good watching none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Thanks for the link Gergely. I was watching thinking this guy is taking FOREVER. Then I looked at the time stamp, he finished the socket in under 12 minutes and another 11 to finish the javelin less file and finish work. That's out of my league. Good video, thanks.

Gergely Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 Happy you liked it, Frosty! Funny you mentioned timing: he told me that the guy picturing the vid asked him to forge only one piece while the video is taken. He makes two pieces in the same time Kopja is the Hungarian name for a short shafted (6') lance most usually used by cavalry. It's not for throwing but melee and/or horseback fight and also was used for hunting. Bests: Gergely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
