Hey Roy I am an aspiring blacksmith I almost have everything I need I would really like to know wherever you buy your copper thanks

[@DRCHUCKWRIGHTMD]

Hi Roy, thanks so much for the video.....do you ever fill in the diamond arbor hole...and is there any concerns if the blades have carbide teeth?

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

+Charles Wright thank you for watching and thank you for your words of encouragement. To answer your question about the diamond in the center of the saw blade. I do not usually fill it in whatever is in the center of the blade or relief cuts or anything that is natural to that particular blade I leave in. To answer your question about carbide teeth I do my best to grind them off before hand. Alternately you can just heat up the bowl and not hit the teeth with the hammer or anvil/ swage block and the carbide usually when heated pops right off the teeth. Definitely don't want to hit them with a good hammer as they will damage both hammer and any tooling you're using. Hope this answers your questions. God bless you and thank you for taking the time to comment:-)
