February 11, 20188 yr Steve, sorry but I come from the hills where improper spirits were the norm. But back to blacksmithing before Glenn weighs in! And Slag; I hope to see you at Quad-State, I'm hoping to go this year myself. If I go and the weather's agreeable I will be wearing lederhosen and an aloha shirt on Friday---and the hat with horns on it. (Just trying to blend in with the crowd.)
February 12, 20188 yr Generally the previous weekend is the "Wool Gathering" fiber event in Yellow Springs OH.
March 19, 20188 yr That line around the edge is often from the blade teeth vibrating I think you will find the line is the pitch of the teeth back from the edge, but rail is often sometimes very hard on the head and in New Zealand is usually a 1085ish manganese steel but is sometimes a much lower carbon content though this is less comon. I have a good friend who works in the engineering side of NZ rail and he told me this Cheers Beaver
