mel b3 Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 hiya guys, i know that its a strange request , but id like a couple of pieces of bronze . i need a piece that is big enough to make a small knife , and , a piece that is big enough to make a small hand axe . the piece for the knife , would ideally be an inch wide x 5 or 6 inches long x a quarter of an inch thick . the piece for the axe , would ideally be , four or five inches long x one or two inches wide x one inch thick. the sizes dont need to be super accurate . im hoping that someone that works in a scrap yard etc might be able to help (bits from bronze bearings maybe ?). im happy to pay whatever it costs , or swap for leather shooting goods. thanks for looking guys. mel.

strimmer_13 Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 just came across these. dunno metal it is but they are old tyre levers and I'm guessing bronze. Welcome to them but I don't think you'l be making a axe out of them but a small blade certainly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
