Well, dint knew electrolysis of water leads to hydrogen explosion, the schools areputting students in grave danger then, as hydrogen's presence is tested by burning it (pop sound, class 8th )
Well I wont blame you as even NCERT just mentions microwaves resonating water. ButNCERT gives very brief info. It never tells what happens next. Thats why students prefer other books for better understanding of concept.
So many times, it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge
Of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the
Eye of the tiger

Never do that!! You might get burnt!!!
In Labs, we always add acid to water.
And if possible wear an old thick cloth while doing it.
This is not for Nitric acid. .but it is necessary Sulfuric acid . . ..
6(N) acid means 50% H20 + 50% acid.
When we make 6(N) HNO3 acid , We mix half testube water & half testtube acid in a beaker....

Chief,
by fast I mean from the time you started to the time you completed.
I only get to work on week ends..
Now that's green with envy....
On a serious note though, I'll reiterate, very well done with the blade.
Regards
Moin.

Dear marthandan,
Looking nice after finish. I'm planning to build one too but before that I'm researching a little bit as I want the blade to be authentic as possible. I'm not sure what steel the Japs used to make tantōs and if I'd be able to find the steel here. I'm planning to buy a pieces of O1 tool steel and forge it to shape.
When I'll get to shoot a gun?

Of course you have a full time profession. We all have....
Knives are your passion... Make one knife in three months... But make people stare in awe !!
That's the idea..
