Very beautiful job. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God Bless.
In my experience, straw color is a bit too hard for high carbon steel edges (like it would even make my thin knife blades chip), it might work for medium carbon steels, but i wouldnt be surprised if a piece of the edge chipped away with a miss hit. With flame tempering i usually go a shade above what i need. But thats a really nice axe !
Thanks for your comment. I guess that is something you learn from expierence. Something which I don't have much of comming to this topic. But I guess it's hard to say when working with mistery steel. The proper way would be to harden some test pieces and temper it to the different colors and do a test. But I'll keep your comment in mind for next time. Thanks for watching!
@@MarcelTeugels no problem! I mostly work with mystery steel but it's pretty easy to know if something is very high carbon or not (it just wants to crack and fall apart when welding at high temperatures. In that case you have to weld a bit cold, like a yellow color). Usually we see straw temper colors on oven tempered knives... Wich indeed were heated to like 220°C... Except for a whole hour. Beacause flame tempers are so short, they need to be done hotter, otherwise the martensite doesn't transform as much as it could
@@jeanladoire4141 Alright, thanks for the insight. That could make sense. On my first try I used different steel which crumbled when forgewelding at high temperature. I changed steel and tried again a bit less hot.
