Подходящий метал - закаляется и царапает стекло. А в этом видео делаю проверку закалки в воде и масле: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QMypxXEgOH8.htmlsi=tHZGO5Td-u6hjses&t=2m19s
Basic angle bevel is done with a file. Then I cleaned and refined the bevel on the drill sanding attachment using grits 120, 400, 1000. The final sharpening was done on a diamond stone with grit 2000 and green polishing compound
Well done. Compared to my first efforts you are a master craftsman. One piece of advice--it is very difficult to forge well in sunlight. There's a reason that forges are rather shady spaces; the subdued light allows you to see the colour of the metal under heat. In a few months you will be very happy with your progress. Best wishes from Australia.
Thanks for the tip. The problem is that i can do the noisy work only in day hours to avoid "over" annoying my neighbours. Probably will end in moving the work to shadier part of the yard.
