A one off experiment to see if I can turn some low carbon scrap into high carbon high end cutlery. In this first episode I make 2 small batches of blister steel by baking a batch of wrought and some mild steel at high temperatures with a charcoal compound. Using time and temperature the amount of carbon the iron absorbs can be approximately controlled.
Sorry for the low sound during explanations, I will turn it up on the next one, though it may mean some louder machine noise!! Difficult to find a balance.
This is the New Catcheside Cutlery Cam, a little Drift HD, handy little thing.
