Hey everyone,
I just went and bought a cheap hydraulic press and a welder and also made a pretty good makeshift anvil. I have been dying to try out some San Mai.
My only question has to do with bar stock thickness. If I’m trying to draw out a San mai billet to around (or a little over) 1/8” thick for a 7” to 8” blade, what thickness/size should I start with for my three bar stock steels to stack and weld?
Thanks
