Charcoal forge at a welding temp with a billet in the fire.



Patternwelded billets in progress

Here is a sneak peak at a 4 bar interupted twist billet, cant see much detail, but I just had to peak. I ground this with a 80 grit belt and dipped it in vinegar to etch it lightly. The billet is 1095 and 15N20.











Here are four of the billets I am working on right now, from the, top down they are #1 1095, O-1 & bandsaw blade, #2 2 square bar with the thiner end is W-1 and 1018 with a cable core, Third is the 1095 & 15N20 Billet and last is a large cable billet.
