Ok, blacksmithing Mastodon, I have a question! I do not forge & am not interested in starting, but I am really enjoying watching Forged In Fire. I can't help but wonder what you do with the metal from failed blades. I assume you can't make a new blade with it, but can it be recycled/upcycled into something else?
First attempt at a one piece triskele, a triple spiral symbol popular across neolithic europe, used extensively by the Celts and even the Greeks and Romans.
This particular one was made from a single piece of round bar. Two thirds of the length was split in two lengthwise, while the remaining portion was drawn out to the same length.
Then there was further drawing out of each arm, rounding and finally attempting to make three spirals the same.
