Forging a Wok from a Harrow Disc | Iron Wolf Industrial

[@thewesternway7797]

Great job man! I really like the Forging part! I love to hit hot Steel too !

[@shadowcastre]

Nicely done! Thanks for the video...

[@PAPATexas]

horse shoes work good for handles, I have made a few.

[@bobbobs2802]

Nice creative project

[@carldahlberg3116]

How did you make the coiled spring for the handle? Would have loved to see that part.

[@blackhorse2947]

Bravo……Brilliant

[@theinkbrain]

The handle reminds me of Irish designs.Great vid.

Does he wear ear protection? I would.

[@tomellsworth2726]

I really like the idea but it doesn't seem deep enough for a wok

[@josevelazquez888]

Really good job man. Looks heavy gauge.

[@TheDistur]

I don't have any discs that big but that's a good idea.

[@murrayhelmer8941]

Just wondering why rivet the handles instead of welding? Don’t the rivets get in the way?

[@caballitodehierro27]

Hi, nice job, i just wanna ask you, do you know the composition of this discs? is it 1075, 1070 o maybe 1080? and what about the flat ones? thank you!

[@IronWolfIndustrial]

No idea unfortunately.. the stuff kind of welds like cast iron. Not sure at all the composition. Stress fractures appeared after welding it the first time.

[@caballitodehierro27]

@@IronWolfIndustrial thanks anyways, good luck

[@scottreeves13]

Great job...enjoy your videos. Are you using your forced air blower propane forge with any of your smithing projects?

[@IronWolfIndustrial]

Scott, when I first built it, I used it for a bit of Mokume Gane. However, even with that, I now use coal. Started blacksmithing on coal, and still prefer it over gas. However, what's a good project for that gas forge? Send an idea, and I'll put together a video. Thanks

Sir, How did you weld the hole in the harrow disc closed? Lost me after you cut the wood block with the band saw.

[@IronWolfIndustrial]

Vince, this was a tricky process, and I am still not sure if it entirely worked. I did a very intense preheat operation using a coal forge, and got the disc to an orange color, with the metal square tacked in place in the middle. From there, I welded it out while it was cherry red, heated it up again, and let it cool slowly over the forge. This stuff doesn't really want to weld. You might want to try some stainless rod/wire, as that can help with high carbon to low carbon welding, or even brazing. Most times, when you grind it out and hit it with a flap disc, you can see and feel hairline cracks right at the edge of the weld zone.

[@thewesternway7797]

@@IronWolfIndustrial You did it right. Must preheat and weld it when it is Red Hot. Good job bro!!

[@morrismonet3554]

Very nice work, but it's actually a Discada, not a Wok.

[@John-4649]

Awesome job man, were you flattening the bolt heads?

[@scottlowther7698]

I'm guessing he was using the bolts just temporarily hold it in place while he put the rivets in 🤔

[@devioushernandez1166]

Do u make and sell

[@Mr_Wicked]

a wok is a giant cooking bowl i know its got some curve but not a pizza cooker lol

[@IronWolfIndustrial]

We will just call this a "midwestern wok"... Thanks for the comment

[@007-b9n]

Nice

[@BarbatosDevil]

nice job but this is not a wok, sorry mate

[@woodchuck1946]

Plow disc, cowboy disc, discada, ... lots of names for the thing he built. They all are fun to cook on, no matter what you call them.

[@thewesternway7797]

It sure is a Wok!! try it you may like it! I have made a Dozen and give them to friends, they make a great gift!!

[@morrismonet3554]

It's a Discada, not a Wok.
