This is very low layer damascus :D 1095,1065 and 15N20..Eleven whole layers huh1 It was actually small 1/4" thick drops of 1095 and1065 we had left over and bandsaw blade..The maple is about the nicest we have had..The pics dont do the maple justice..

We still weld a lot in coal but also have a diamondback forge two burner. It will reach welding temps and then some. If Im not mistaken it will hit a tested 2500*. I can personally attest to melting the edge of some 1084 in it :p It has a 30psi regulator and starts welding high carbon stuff...

Howdy, we'er just down the road in Floyd co. You work at a prep plant, man why you using propane :D:D:D LOL, we got a gasser too. Just gets expensive welding much in one. Ours it does anyway..

A plain hawk forged from wrought iron with a welded in bit of aldos 1095(Which I like a LOT, by the way). Curly maple done with Aqua Fortis. Not a lot of filework or anything because this was kind of a test run with this batch of wrought. Its full of phospherus and silica, lots of figure when...

I was bored. xx plowshare cable folded back on itslef and welded up. Makes a good knife for the tractor box :D

Floyd co. Not to far from Prestonsburg,Allen area.

We live on a farm so yea :D I wouldent know how to act without fresh maters' :eek:

No Coal burners out there?? Now here is old smokey :D Made completely from scrap! This old forge has made a lot of stuff including that bar of damascus and rasp hawk laying there.. I have meant forever to replace old smokey but hey, not broke and all that cool 1 Well here is in the left side of...

This one is 4140 with a wrought iron cap on a curly maple haft..

No, but we'er in the next county over. You talking about the Belfry in Pike co I assume?

Yes, my wife Lisa runs the forge business now. Ive been teaching her for several years now. She sells a lot on ebay and will sell otherwise too. Shes working on a website but hasnt got it up yet..If your interested in a hawk Im sure something can be arranged. Anyway this hawk is made from 1065...

We make a lot of these wrap and weld hawks. This one is made from Kelly Couples 1065. Wrapped and forge welded. Somewhat of a forge finish, curly maple and sheath. When you forge that "notch" in the bottom of the blade you'll find out quick if you have a good weld or not :D

really, thats cool. Im in Pikeville pretty often(tractor supply/Lowes/Applebees), just the other day in fact. Maybe Ill run into you one of these days :cool: If you have been to the Jenny Wiley festival in the last few years Im sure you have seen my wife set up there. She usually has a lot of...

We were this year. Seemed like it started snowing in late Nov and didnt stop until late Feb. My wife (who actually runs the forge business now) cant stand cold and bought a new wood burner for the shop. It seems my little homemade wood burner I had for years wasnt putting out enought heat for...

Thanks guys. I appreciate it 2thumbs

We have a Coote with the small wheel attachment. While its not a KMG its still a fine machine and has paid for itself many times over ;) We had to have a 10" contact wheel for all the hawks and axes we do. The price tag on a KMG(with 10" wheel) was out of reach at the time. Ill havea KMG or...

We always have hawks on the bench. Right now there is also a hunter of 1084fg and a bowie of Aldos 1095. A "carry on the tractor" cable damascus knife that uses the cable for the handle and a RR spike knife for a local..A stack of 1065 for wrap and weld hawks.

Well, your just up 23 then :D Seems like a good forum. Lots of info here..

9" long and up would be great. Thanks

Wagons were not real common here in my part of Kentucky. The mountains were just to rough. Most old timers used Mules/work horses/Oxen and Sleds to move things around here.If a man was looking horse drawn equipment is everywhere but that dont do me any good,LOL.Most wagon rims are at least...
