suprised even myself...
Last night I was in the chatroom on the www.anvilfire.com website. Over the past two years I have frequently gone there when I've had any questions. Last night it was because I was bored(although happy because I had scored tickets to David Letterman). Well, one guy was bragging about using round stock and hammering it flat to make swords. Not authentic but just to have the look. Well, I told him that its not advisable to hammer round stock that way because it can cause seperation and weakness in the metal, especially in the center. Another guy was asking about welding and I gave him about half a dozen tips on how to weld. After a little small talk one of the guys thanked me for the tips and said it was nice to get some advice from a real blacksmith... lol... excuse me?
A chronicle of my attempts to create an early clock using only traditional techniques.
