Momatt Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Forge welding in a piece of sway bar from an old cutlass into an iron wrapped eye axe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Were Cutlasses with sway bars what wooden ship sailors fought with when the seas were heavy? I always wondered how sailors could keep their feet during storms, were there other tools with sway bars: oars, harpoons, belaying pins, etc.? Frosty The Lucky.

Momatt Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 Ha ha frosty. I Guess I posted in wrong area and got the title changed as lesson, lol. I did think the original title of well time phot applied to the flux shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 The title was changed to make it more descriptive of the content, and so it could be more easily found by a search engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Glenn: He isn't forging a cutlass, he is using a sway bar from an Oldsmobile Cutlass for stock for the bit in an ax. I was twitting him for the way he worded the subject. I agree the original subject could've been worded better and I confused things worse by picking up on the straight line. I punned it is all. My bad. The title change does not reflect the content nearly as well as the original. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Should reflect the content now. (grin) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momatt Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 Yes poorly worded. I finished it up off to the post tomorrow to my nephew. He is grown and when his mom asked what he wanted for his birthday he said, “Viking axe from uncle Matt’s forge” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Now take the rest of the sway bar and forge a Cutlass cutlass. (Just make sure to sharpen it well. Otherwise, it will cut less.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
