Hi Guys,
Project 1: --------- As I was finding it extremely difficult to get sheet spring steel, or spring steel strip, I figured out another way to skin my personal cat.
I bought 78 black spring washers, a really thick square section wire.
Put it in the forge straighten and flatten, next to laminate this either with mild steel or L6.
I should be able to get 13 blanks out of this.
Project 2: --------- When I bought my spring washers I was glancing around and noticed stainless steel bolts.
"Hmmm..." thought I. "I wonder if I could make a carving set from two stainless steel bolts".
Well the problem for me is not shaping the bolts into something that looks like a carving set it's heat treating stainless steel.
Anyone on the list heat treated stainless steel?
Regards Charles
