70% of a good weld or welding is the preparation work you must do before you begin. You would have so much better results if you prep your work before welding. Great video tho 👍🏻👍🏻
I'm questioning why you didnt take a piece of that plate and weld it on top for the Anvil face??? You can still do that and have a much more usable working Anvil!! UPDATE when completed.....
I appreciate your suggestion, and I did consider using a piece of that plate to weld it on top of the Anvil face. However, in this particular project, I decided to use the plate as a basis to make it stronger. I understand that using it on top might have resulted in a more usable working Anvil. Thank you for pointing that out. It's important to acknowledge that the first project may have some mistakes, but it's through these mistakes that we learn and improve. Thank you for your valuable input.
It's to narrow for a katana.A rapier should be the one you should make, its 3.16 inch thick and you only need to forge the bevels to the two sides since forging the bevel will curve a blade so put a double edge to it and you don't have to grind some metal to make the edge just a bit. But still good job 👏 👌 👍
It's a Manji symbol. Ichigo is a character from animanga, and this symbol is frequently used to represent him. Besides, a swastika is a Buddhist symbol, so you're even wrong on that front. Nazis used the Hakenkreuz.
