I’ve made acouple now but always used flat stock and just done stock removal blades ,haveing trying to forge one couple week ago I can appreciate how much time and effort as gone into that , I watched couple vids on YouTube on forging and thought “ oh it looks easy I can do that “ after couple hours pounding on a piece of steel I gave up and had something that resembled a scrap price of steel . Keep up the good work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted February 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 Cheers mate this digger blade Steele is hard to move and doesn’t stay hot for very long ... but it’s good practice and if I can get something out of this the other steels should be much easier Quote Link to post Share on other sites
