:D All the orders for the chain has been sent out. Now let us see what you do with it. I am also waiting for pics of the damascus that I sent out. :( :(
Especially from my REDSKIN BUDDY. :D
 
Well lets see IG, I'll be getting 6 full links, plus a partial, so: That's a pair of earings, pair of cufflinks, pair or body piercing thingys for some ladys eyebrows or maybe her....humm well, and I'm not sure what I'll do with the partial link, maybe make a tooth for the gap in my upper row of teeth. Will send pictures! :D
 
Well lets see, I can make a hat, a broach, a pterodactyl... :D

I got mine in the mail today IG, serious links! haven't the faintest idea how to approach working the WI but looking forward to trying!

Darren; Still have a few left. And can get more. How many hundred pounds do you want. :eek: :eek: ;) :D
I still have to go to this boatyard to see what he has. He told me that the links are twice the size of the ones I have now. :eek:

Robert: The women clerk at the post office had a bird yesterday with the 61# box of chain. :eek: :D You should make yourself a penis ring. :p :eek: :D
 
I.G. This may be a dumb question but....how did you know that the chain would make decent blade steel? I have a nack for finding junk everywhere but have no clue what will make good blades.......

Any hints?

Its not for blades, but you could put some into a billet for a better contrast . I'll be using it mostly for fittings.Will be trying it for a hawk body with a 5160 or damascus edge. :confused:

Won't work, you're only sending 61 pounds.

y'all are scaring me......





IG - I've finally settled on the design I'm using for your damascus. Hopefully I get it done this weekend. :cool:
 
damn I.G.

I need to learn how to make fittings!!! Arg..

What is a good source for learning that? Trial and error?

Have you use bolsters or guards on your blades??? Using the anchor chain for fittings you will need to forge out the guards. I'll be offering some flat stock made out of the anchor chain in the near future.
 
I havent done any bolster or guard work as of yet..

I am hoping my KMG with the small wheel attachment will be my ticket to grinding the bolsters once peened....thats the plan anyway.

I think the guards will follow learning the bolsters. I hope to file those using my hardened file guard thingy. I just need to make/buy some thinner files to make the slots. Then I hope to have a forge to bang some steel.....

whew..thats my developmental plan anyways. I know that time in the shop will do alot for me as well.......

When you start with bolsters make sure everthing is perfectly flat and perfect 90 degree angles. :D
