Awesome work! I remember as a child my father making knives out of old files with a forge he had in the garage/barn. This brings back good memories.

Thanks.
I hope that my kids will have some good memories too about doing stuff with hands.

@@robertowens9852 Sorry i missed you messege. If you look again the video you might notice 2 forge welds. First one in the canister and the second one adding slice of 52100 carbon steel in middle. You probably missed that second one.

​@@robertowens9852 1095 in the middle, not 52100 like i write earlier.
