Jason, Have you ever looked up," low temp soldering" or "low temp brazing"? I stumbled onto a website once. I don't recall if I saved it but from what I recall the demo they showed on-line was like it was a paste that was heated with a bic lighter, once it was done, and cooled for a few minutes...

Jim, How can you tell if WI contains silica in it? Thanks, Rex

I've been wondering myself if Wrought Iron can be "refined" by forging it out and maybe folding it a few times, would that make it easier to forge? And maybe help keep it from getting "stringy"? For the lack of a better description, that it what happened to me one time, I heated a piece of ship...

I was at the. Cutting Competition year before last, when Dan Kefflar was crowned. WORLD CHAMPION, after the competiton was over there was a demo of a new steel, I think it was called Rex121 or something like that, the most amazing thing about this steel is that it would HT to a Rc of 70...

They are both Swweeeeettttt! All I have is a measly ole' 240# Hay Budden, made in 1894! That was believed to have been used by a Chisel maker, there are more than a 100 chisel marks on the side where it is iron. The great part about that is the face was pristene… , BEFORE ME! Its not that...

JB, If I can remember to, I will take pics of mine, I just have to remember! Rex

.....what he (he being JDoyle) said, is exactly what I was going to say! Right down to the time in tempering. Also like J. Said, there are many ways to make a knife, what I have always said, "the best way to make a knife, IS the best way YOU make a knife", now what I mean by that is that there...

Kevin, (and now I know why you go by 'PROFESSOR') Sitting here in absolute AWE! I have to wonder who among us are Masochist!? You know, those that like to deliberately cause themselves extreme pain! OK, I am too, but not to this extent! All that stuff aside, this is a phenomenal blade. The...

Steve or Bruce, Can I get info on this "Coffee Table" book? Along with the price, please!! Fathers day is tomorrow....., so maybe,....Never mind! Heck, I'd buy it for myself! Rex

I can speak from my experience, and I was taught by Ed Caffrey, who I will tell EVERBODY just how wonderful a person he is, because he basically held my hand through me building my first FORGE, which I might add was the most terrifying experience in my life...well, that and parenthood! But as...

Hey Guys I have a been having this problem every time I have attempted to make any Damascus of any kind, as a rule I generally keep my billets small, mainly because I don't have the bigger equipment needed to forge a huge stack of steel into a thin little, although long, billet. So I stick to...

That looks like a project I could turn a couple hundred dollars down the drain! That's why I bought mine! Knowing you can screw one up and thinking you "might", are two very different things, when it comes to making electrical things like that, I have the knowledge that I would make a lot of the...

It has the same overall length as one of my 18" tomahawks. I think this would look great on a T-shirt. :) ........ Or a really Bad (you know!) LOGO!!!!! Nice work! Looks like it will do the job! Rex

Mickey, there is a reason it "looks" BALANCED, it's because it IS BALANCED! OK kidding aside, it is absolutely beautiful! Seriously classy and seriously sharp! Great job on this one, some one said that you've up your game another step, and I think he's almost right, I'm thinking about 5...
