HammarBear - Forging Updates - 25 March 2020
I met up with Kody again to do some forging today, and I remembered my camera this time. I did forget a ton of other things though. Various files, and some odds and end I meant to bring to Kody. But anyway, A bit of info on the forge. It's made by NC Tool company. The closest one they have on there site to this is this one. . |
I also did a bit of work on a Short Sword I started a while ago. The blade was quite wavy and had inconsistent thickness. I straightened it out and cleaned up the edges. . |
But, as you can see from this view, there is still a bit of a wave in the blade. It shouldn't be hard to fix this, though. . |
I picked up 2 gallons of this, in the form of 4 half-gallons. And, apparently, the knives are Gluten Free still...and Heart Healthy...so there's that. . |
A bit of filing to prep for hardening the blade. . |
This is where the blade ended up at the end of the forging session. Kody wants this a bit more refined while it's still soft enough to work, so there is a ton of wet sanding in Kody's future. . |
