#fireweld

Last month Stephen came to his third weekend Blacksmithing. On it he learned how to fireweld. Firewelding is welding steel/iron together using a Forge, hammer and anvil. Without electricity. Its considered one of the hardest skills in Blacksmithing and takes some practice to master. Stephen had it sussed in no time heres two examples of what he made using the skill. #fireweld #forgeweld #blacksmith #artistblacksmith #irishblacksmith #hotmilkforge #glensofantrim #blacksmithjoinery #weekendwarrior (at Hot Milk Forge) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9l01FzhI6O/?igshid=yietr6wgd1nz

Forging weld Damascus billet for bottle openers. I do all my Damascus in my coal forge. I've tried gas but I feel more comfortable with a coal fire. #blacksmith #borax #fireweld #damascussteel #steel #forgeinfire #anvil #hotbrushingthatboraxandscaleoff
