I think it was 30mm by 8mm mild steel. I don't remember the starting length of the stock but the finished tongs are around 40 to 45cm long

Thanks for the ideas for beginners. Every time metal is moved we’re learning more about how it behaves & how to use the tools we have. You’re the first blacksmith I’ve seen working copper pipe- that really opens up a whole new avenue, great look with the hammered finish too 👍⚒️

can this be dome on external steel welded structure that are exposed to sun and rain.
@metalshak70477 ай бұрын
For something that will spend most of its time outside, I wouldn't recommend using wax. It will work but will need a lot of maintenance to keep it from rusting. I use a metal outdoor clear coat for my outdoor pieces.

I also found out that there’s such a thing as fake Damascus just edged with a lazer the whole point of Damascus is folding 2 steels together multiple times and thanks to technology it can be faked ugh 😑 nice chopsticks btw bro

Can you make the blade only without the handle? I am interested to only get the blade as I make the handle myself. And I would like to know if you want to make the blade for sale. I would like to buy them from you. Thank you for your reply

Didn't knew that bees wax was this effective at stopping rust. I mean the science checks out as the wax creates a protective barrier between the iron and the environment and therefore preventing any oxidation
