2 Questions
1. What happens when you dont clean your anvil?
2. Can you make a video of how to upkeep an anvil?
LOVE your lessons here. I am so new and you are teaching me sooo much.
1 it wil rust but wont affect it in any ither way. Just brush the rust off and carry on.
2 i use a flap disc on my mini grinder to occasionally flat out any dents. If you know someone with a large surface milling machine that woukd be better.
😎👍👍👏👏
Very helpful tutorial, I'll say that from the start. That said, is there some secret to getting these nice, clean, centered shoulders when doing a stick tang? I've tried this method you show where you strike just before the edge of the anvil with the piece lined up on it, but this just gives me a single shoulder and pushes my tang way down to one side. It's like I hit it once and the piece is immediately determined to only have one shoulder no matter how much I try to correct it from the other side.
Where did u get those tongs???
So quick maybe stupid question is the tang supposed to be the same thickness as the Ricasso as a general rule or is it thinner at the tang and a line where it’s thicker where tang meets ricasso at the junction assuming there is no guard
I usually forge in shoulders for the guard to fit up against. This makes it marginally narrower than the ricasso. Then i apply a distal taper to both thickness and width. You always need shoulders if you want to fit a handle
