@@JPsBladeworks lol ill bet anything your call on this sort of thing requiring a power hammer for ultimate squish factor was also totally right too. i suspect you ran into the outer limits of what a forging press is gonna be useful for. or maybe just the weight class of that press, who knows. im finding your journey incredibly fascinating. ive been watching along since your second vid. id be game to pay for some materials and brainstorm ideas with you if you are man, i left my email in the comment above i left that you replied to. best wishes man! keep up the great work!

@ErbieGerbies 3 месяца назад

Not gonna lie, I love the roughness of the spine. Sure, it's not going to hold up to a thorough beating, but if you don't need to beat on it then who cares, it looks rad af. And hell, I like to think of myself as a cool little dud. Doesn't make me bad either, just a little different, and I'm sure there's at least a couple people who think I'm rad as hell anyways too. It's awesome to get to watch you work, and even more awesome to get to see you try new things. Keep having fun with it, keep it real, and I'll keep watching.

@joshschneider9766 3 месяца назад

i wanna make a canister with the longwise side open and stack up chain the way you cut it up but put different powders in each layer with thin pieces of sheet separating them, them twist the heck out of it. never saw anyone do chain that way, always thought it would be neat, maybe you can run with the idea.

Im doing something similar but without the twist. But if i get more chain i wouldnt be opposed to trying it.

@daxsprinkle8193 3 месяца назад

Still a cool looking blade. I think it looks like mountain peaks,Would some thin sheets between the layers of the chain help with the gaps so you don't have to use powder? Maybe it would help form around the curves?

@JPsBladeworks 3 месяца назад

If i had done it in sanmai even without powder im pretty sure it would have grabbed on better with a strong core.

@dieseltu1035 3 месяца назад

Something to think about , chains have oil and grease in between the links. That you cant easily get out . When i had a bike i used to heat grease hot so it was like oil, and dip the chain so the grease would get inside and let it cool . And im wondering if some was in there and it stopped it from joining together .

@JPsBladeworks 3 месяца назад

Yea im thinking of soaking it in acetone for a while to loosen all that crud when i try again or maybe bite the bullet and get an ultra sonic cleaner

@Dogo_XLBullys 3 месяца назад

Man, I love how they sit here and say that you’re negligent because of your finger placement but yet you have a forge you have metal that’s hundreds are you feeling if not a 1000° hot hammers you’re using acid like you have everything else I can use you so much more harm than your band yet yet they are only worried about that 8:08

@mrbfox1775 3 месяца назад

Suggestion- forge weld the chain by itself until a solid billet (may require folding , then forge weld to the edge steel.

@JPsBladeworks 3 месяца назад

I dont like folding in these types on situations because it dilutes the pattern that i want on the end piece. If not for that folding multiple times would definitely solve the gap issues.

@haydenc2742 3 месяца назад

Would drawing it out, then folding it over on itself strengthen it?

@@JPsBladeworks and now that I think about it, from what I've seen, motorcycle chains are better for this purpose than bicycle chains because they are thicker. It would be very interesting to take two bicycle chains and stack one on top of the other to make a thicker billet. Just tossing ideas out here, but I think bicycle chains would work, as long as you can fill in the voids and/or put them in a canister with powder.
