Can you make a video on fagot forge welds please.
-
Any new vids coming soon?
-
your vids rock im just getting into this was looking for your web site cant find it any help would be great thanks
-
this thermal cycling? is that another word for normalising?
nice explanation, thanks for the informative vid.

I have some, maybe many, questions about forging. I know you must be busy so I'm asking if I can e-mail the questions to you. My e-mail address is jsh@snet.net. Let me know.
Thanks,
Johnny

@MrIronman1979 I don't know about the part of going well above what you presented. After all, I have learned a lot from YOU. lol. I used to teach an electronics course, so I've seen the mechanism of learning for most people starts on a visual basis. Then and only then if it sparks an interest will they apply themselves to learn the theories behind it. I finally bought a camera so I will have to make some videos soon :)

@ArtistBlade1972 Thanks again for recommending the destructive analysis to TheBeeBopper. I wouldn't have thought of reccommending someone to actually perform the tests. That was bitchin of ya. Thanks. : )

@TheBeebopper That was an excellent excercise presented..and this will REALLY give a hands on view "literally" of what to look for. Thus was the "destructive" analysis I had formerly mentioned. Many different tests of this type exist..in this aspect the most notable of which is the "IZOD" test. By performing this test on a number of differently treated specimens of the same steel..you should be able to see the major components of what was dicussed with the naked eye.
Would damascus be an option for beginners since it is basically made of simple carbon steels?

@ihoppy Depends mostly on the steels you're wanting to work with...but personally I would say NO. My reasoning behind this is The difficulty most novices have in determining the correct temperature, working techniques and finesse required for forge welding large billets...of ANY steel combination. Generally, the first and second welds as well as the last weld and final rough forging is where most fail. BUT...how will you know if you can or can't do it until you try?
