forge tang/blade transition
I tried my hand at forging this weekend, I now have a greater appreciation for the process. It was satisfying to hammer something into a razor (somewhat razor like) like object as opposed to weeks of tedious filing. I was using an old section of ½ drill rod. My question is how do you make the transition from the blade to the tang? I used the edge of my anvil and hammered a ledge then tried to draw out the tang.
I would really appreciate a picture of this step. I think I could do it, if I knew what I was shooting for.
Thanks
