I managed to get a *LOT* of 1/2" Round stock from someone getting rid of it - I have probably 200' of it... If I wanted to make a knife blank out of it, does anyone have any tips about getting an even "extrude" on the steel?
I am fairly new, so I am probably not describing what I am trying to do.
Take a piece of the 1/2" round stock, and with the peen of my hammer work it "Long ways" to make it more flat (not round). My question is does anyone have any tips on making it a uniform thickness after I work it flat?
Sorry I'm not sure I'm describing it as well as I should - I'll try to take some WIP pictures next time I'm at the forge....
