I'm mostly impressed with those freehand skills with that angle grinder. Those pyramids are spot on like it was made with a robot.

Do it. I started with only 40 bucks in tools. A rail road track ( or any large bit of steel to forge on. Or even a tree stump) a pipe, a hair dryer and a bit of wood. Oh and an angle grinder makes things easier.

@ThatWorks4 күн бұрын
Really cool! I've tried it the other way around. Forging the pyramids and grinding flat. Cool to see it done this way. The pattern would have carried through if you forged the bevels even a little bit, but it looks great breaking up the pattern toward the edge.
