Henry Irving Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Thought y'all might like to see where Mr. Salter forge welded this thing together. Apologies in advance if the last image doesn't come across whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momatt Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 That is pretty neat. I'm surprised to see a weld there, that is a particular piece of equipment where a weld break might lead to bad consequences. In those days after the first shot, things really got ugly and those bayonets were basically the soldiers only weapon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 They used to forgeweld battleship driveshafts together too and medieval swords used in battle often had tangs forge welded to the blades. Just the basic materials were forge welded together---merchant bar for instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
