November 21, 200817 yr Couple of pics of first pattern welded hawk. 192 layers . Feel free to critique. A.S.T.
November 21, 200817 yr looks nice, details please,, you stated layers but not materials.... Keep up the good work
November 24, 200817 yr Author The steel was given to me but I believe he said it was 5160 and the nickel silver was as--- something 1095 equialent. I etched in muriatic water mix. The picture does not show the colors real well but after tempering in oven it came out with multiple colors. A.S.T.
November 24, 200817 yr Looks good. 1095 has no nickle in it but the 5160 has a touch of chromium so this is what would give you the bright areas in the billet. Did you drift the eye or free form it?
November 25, 200817 yr Author Chuck I meant to say it was equivelant to 15n20 . As for the eye I wrapped it around a drift and welded . A.S.T.
