COMMENT: Have you tried doing this type of cleft weld in the forge? What did you use it for? Do you do a lot of forge welding in general? Do you want to see a forge welding tutorial on something specific?

If I keep watching you weld Roy, I may actually pull one off this summer.
Helpful. An explanation of the oxygen, scale, and basics good. I don't quite understand "coke".
I can see this type of well being great for some types of tooling. Forging tool steel bits, into milder steels. Say the combination of 1095 to 1018. Great demonstration Roy!
*weld.... autocorrect can be a pain. Sorry
Finaly turned my auto correct off...now everybody can see i dont spell worth a fiddelers dang...catch 22 i reckon
Nice job on the forge weld there Roy. One of these days pretty soon I'm going to try my hand at some forge welding.
You make welding look so easy Ron. I am having trouble its in my prep and timing i think . keep up the good work.
Amazing as always! I been trying this weld several times with no success, but now I know what I have been doing wrong. Thank you so much Mr. Roy.👊🙌
Great job roy
Very cool thanks for teaching us how too cleft weld!
Very cool weld, Roy. Great for axes or san mai steel billets! Very thoroughly explained, thank you :)
Great demo, thanks Roy!! I can see this is going to be a practice, practice, practice for me. Wayne
Again great video, thanks
Thank your for your videos, i try to watch them all. So much good info .
thank for a great video Roy awesome information.
Again a great video lots of good info thanks again
Great video Roy, informative and entertaining as always!
Roy great job and funny! But no really buddy you explain things very well to us I thank you
Great info Roy. I'm gonna spread this one around a bit. Thanks for the video!
Just make sure you blend your scarfes before you spread it around...wouldn't want it hanging up on the way around lmbo.
Sorry it got in my head and had to come out.
Headline news " Moscow Texas blacksmith...."
Ok ok ill see myself out🙄
Blessings to you sirSir

Great job explaining the weld as always. The teeth are definitely helpful at keeping the material locked in. Nice video, and keep the awesome content coming. 👍 👍
Thanks
Thank you. Very clear concise information. I do like to hear your thoughts as you go along. I find it puts my grey matter in gear perhaps more so than simply watching the process with little commentary. Of course ima bit of an odd kritter.
Blessings upon u n jess,
Crawfors out
Thanks for the welding videos mine are still terrible but are getting better I think I just need more practice but making a living keeps getting in the way of my forging time. Tried to tell my wife that food and shelter are over rated but she's not buying in.
Dito sir...mines not either.
She has watched just enough of Mr. Roy to understand hammer control...lmbo
Second! Thanks Roy
I prepare my cleft welds the same way you did, but I “jump weld” it in the fire before I take it out to weld. Bring it up to welding heat, let it soak a bit, then I give a sharp tap on the bar so as to drive the point into the cleft to tack it together, then take it out to weld. Don’t have to be as gentle that way
Interesting idea.
So you wrap the cold end of the cleft bar while its still in the forge?
Assuming thats correct one wonders if that would drive ash/debris into the scarffed ends...or do you find the flux provides a dirt proofing barrier?
Bpessed days to you, Crawford out
@@danielcrawford7315 I take it that he prepped the weld exactly as Roy did, but tacked it in the fire then welded at the anvil.
Hey dude, some of us across the pond still work in inches lol 😀😀
A couple of thoughts on this, 1 wouldn't it be better to precut the thicker bar with a bandsaw instead of slitting with a hardy or a chisel in the vise? 2 since your hardy is in a different place than most anvils, I orient the anvil the other way so the hardy can be left in.
Your thoughts on this?
I have been trying to figure out how to do a weld on a project i am working on for a minute now, cant believe i did not think of that. I have seen a few people do this making knifes and axes and just did not dawn on me. Any way a question, i have never seen some one put the little "cleats" on the inserted piece, if you were making an ax could nt that be a possible place for cold shuts to form stress fractures? Or would you do it different on an ax?
Actually that's one of the advantages to the German style anvil, the hardie hole is at that far end.
I'd love to take the class. Doubtful getting off work. Bummer
A great video again Roy ,thank you . In your opinion would you do any different prep work if your using a high carbon steel with a mild steel ?
well in my experience you do need to flux those joints more often because the two steels have different forge welding temps
Roy, do you preheat your anvil on cold days like the day you did this video? Is this any more important when you’re forge welding? If so, how warm to you like to get your anvil?
Roy, is there a max difference in thickness you can weld this way. Just curious.
Where are you located
👍👍
yes seen this with axe making, thought this is what was a type of scarf frequently used aside from a bevel afterall you would think you have to have something to tie it into, also note if you want to see some old time home made stuff google railway age shop kinks, shows how to make a powerhammer though the parts might be a bit hard to come by since railway rail is not something you can just go to the store and buy, and I know not everyone would have a full machine shop to turn down things to make pistons out of, or hydralics but it gives you the demensions for making air hammers, presses, of certain sorts or what was called a scarfing hammer, it was a light duty single blow powerhammer type of air powerhammer I belive, but if you want to make your own it gives you the demensions for the parts and things one would need, or making a type of air striking hammer with a chisel on the end which was used to cut rivets and cut staybolts that would have been used to help hold the firebox and boiler togather
What metal is your soft faced hammer made out of?
Mild steel. He has a video making one.😉
Cleft welds are pretty. OH............was I supposed to say that? :)
#you'reawesome 😁😁😁
I feel like your hands are talking to me.
