@@TobyFireandSteel Mert is an expert and a perfectionist, and he can forge, which is something I don't do.

[@thedillestpickle]

What if you are working with a hydraulic press and not a power hammer? Will the steel tend to move more evenly on both sides of the blade vs a hammer which you will have to keep a closer eye on which side is being worked more and flip the piece more often? Can you do the same work with a hydraulic press as a power hammer?

[@TobyFireandSteel]

Not sure bud, sorry

[@AndrewJordanBladesmith]

Got that WRONG you start with the TANG first .
