I forged a blade out of one of the cable billets I made, there were 2 people I taught how to forge blades, plus another blade in that fire at the same time,
I did up a 160 layer billet and twisted it, then 2 cable billets (one of which is a blade waiting for m e to grind and finish it right now) then Bill Vining had 2 billets he started and wasn't able to finish because of torch problems, so he gave them to me and I finished them, I think I showed 6 or 7 people how to do cable billets, several other folks did cable billets and flat stacked billets, and at one point there were 6 anvils in use making blades and hawks, so I would say yes blades were forged. Seemed like everyone was either playing with Aldo's 1084, or 1095 or hammering cable (OK I think Rocketman was beating on a ball peen hammer)

LOTS of food (i was too chicken to try the spicy stuff but there was LOTS of that) and I think everyone brought at least a 6 pack.

Man, it sounds like you folks kept the forges hot and the anvils ringing. There is no better atmosphere than, when a bunch of people get together to work hot metal.
Knowing IG, I think you used sound judgment, with respect to the hot stuff.:eek:
 
That would be me, but only the aftermath. I'm almost done prepping the photos for online consumption, and should have them up sometime tonight. I forgot a few people's names so I'll need the rest of you to help fill in a couple blanks in my captions when I get them up.

That press of yours is programmed to bust in a strangers hand. :D I bet your famous seafood feast cost double now since I was there. That really was the best I have ever had!
 
At one of the past hammerins, the 1" hardened pin on the press sheared. The sound was about as loud as a gunshot and everyone was checking themself for holes. I think we found a piece of the pin about 50 feet away. I pretty much had to change my boxers after that one.....

I think I was the first to be blamed for busting it. Maybe first from the west coast.
