Do not harden the whole blade. Just harden the cutting edge only
@SpeargrassForge 4 ай бұрын
@@cliftonwheeler1075 that is one option. That leaves a softer spine. However differentially hardened blades can take a set more easily than those that are fully hardened and tempered. It depends on the desired use of a blade on how it is heat treated.

Most mower blades can only be heat treated to HRC 50 which is plenty hard and tough for a mower blade, but maybe not hard enough for a hand knife.

You're right. But metric doesn't exactly translate to imperial. That's why i said about 7/16. When working with 2 systems in blacksmithing where exact tollerances aren't crucial, close enough is fine 😁 thanks for watching james

Recently found your KZbin channel and very happy that I did. I just recently got started with knife making, the old-fashioned way. Yes, I want to pound some steel. This episode is really important to me because I have accumulated several lawnmower blades, and I've been questioning whether or not they would harden enough for a decent blade. You really solved a problem for me. Thank you.

As thick as that metal is I would say that you have the freedom to turn that machine up as high as you want. That would help you a lot on those Welds I'm seeing that this is an old video and I would be curious to know how you like the anvil after using it for a couple of years? Also. How The face of those forklift Tines held Up?
@SpeargrassForge Жыл бұрын
Im no machineist. And getting it machined wasn't an option. That said. Due to my poor welding skill, ive boken the face plate off only once, rewelded it back on, and good old tynie is still going strong. The steel has held up like noones business.
@johnscarboroughregenerativ7240 Жыл бұрын
I was referring to turning the welding machine up hotter so that the Weld would absorb a little bit better and it would be a little bit easier to Weld. But I appreciate the comment and the video.

@johnscarboroughregenerativ7240 I'm sorry! you did say that! I'm struggling with the flu at the moment. And head is a bit foggy. At that stage i wasn't that good of a welder (as shown by my welds) i was working with the little knowledge i had but youre 100% right ha ha. Cheers for the imput, i hope a newbie reads this and does better than me in the future!

I am living on the block. With the house build and getting the land sorted, not yet. But i have the area cleared for it now, and hopefully, fingers crossed, it will be done in the next 6 months. It's currently monsoon season here, so I have to wait for that to end, and then i can get started. It's frustrating and slow progress. However, the results will hopefully be more than worth it
