I have been surfing videos on Youtube, and every so often there is an Ah Ha moment, and I just had one. On1 video the maker opted to slit and then drift the hole in the bolster and then fit it to the tang hot. I've only made 1 bolster so far and spent hours trying to fit it, I love forging and this seems so much easier I just could believe I didn't think of trying it, but I haven't seen any other reference to it either. Do you any of you use this technique? I hope to give it a try soon.
