The right angle needs to have a center punch mark where you want the bend and then maintain that through the forging. This is part of the Abana curriculum. Makes this into much more of an advanced project. the idea being you would need the bends at a certain location. thank you for the video and have a great day
Ah yeah, I think I remember seeing someone else do that when I was doing a bit of research before my attempt. It definitely would have made knowing where to start the bend easier, since after the upsetting, I sorta struggled to figure out exactly where would be best for it. I appreciate your comment and I hope you have a great day too :)
What are all the little flakes coming off it?
Nice job my dude!
Thank you! That's called "forge scale" or "fire scale" and it's iron-oxide. As I understand it, when the steel gets hot, it reacts more readily with the oxygen in the air, then the byproduct separates/cools at a different rate, making it flake off in sheets.
At least you can say you've one ball of steel.
Heh, well now I HAVE to forge a second one.
