Absolutely glad to be on this forum .Allow me to express my gratitude towards the IFG team, all of this has been a great learning and experience not only limited to arms but life.Never really met physically but have shared the thought processes and its a great connection.Thankful to IFG team to host this party.
Studied everything time could permit and started off only some time ago. Was lucky and the blades turned satisfactory for the first attempt {Could keep the lines straight.} .Was asked to make a couple of blades by friends and luckily they turned out good too .Lets see how these turn out this time.Constructive criticism is highly requested.
Steel :o2
Operations :
1.annealing after thick bevels are made. I used a angle grinder to cut these hence the lattice formations must be pretty messed and further disturbed due to using an angle grinder again to bevel.
2.Drilling holes
3.Refining the blade{elbow grease strictly}
4.Hardening in coal fire upto non magnetic temperature and quench in used preheated engine oil.
5. Tempering : in an oven for 2 hours
6. Break test: to check weather the blade or tip has enough flexibility and not brittle
7.finishing blade and covering it with abro tape
8.making sheesham /wenge handles and araldite it to the handles with brass pins
9.Remember to click pictures and post it here
Kindly suggest.
Really Thankful
