Old farrier Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 Maybe get a better heat treatment job with a tank you can put your blade into horizontal 😊 Personally would use a decent known bit off steel than spend a age hammering on any old spring and find it full of cracks and flaws Anyway crack on looking forward to seeing your project All the best Of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont even know if these 74 year old arms will wield a smiths hammer any more, It may take a while with lots of ibrufen stops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck Probably not a good idea to let it cool down between hammering sessions 😉 But you knew that 😂😂 Use a smaller hammer 2..1/2 pounds should do it 😂😂 All the best Of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
