    Punching the sides to get them flush is brilliant. Would've taken years for me to figure that out for myself lol

    Rub chalk on a clean file to keep it from getting bunged up. Kinda sorta lubricates as well

    Why rotary tool ? A jewellers saw or these other with the small strip as saw blade would work, too?
    And again, I should watch the whole video, instead of commenting in the middle :D You just said, that :D

    Apparently Aluminum Bronze above 18% Aluminum is quench hardening..... I made some once and thought I was annealing it so dunked in a billabong full of Bundy and the bugger hardened on me...

    Good stuff Alex, mate where do you get that brass plate. And what thickness is it please?

    • @ValhallaIronworks
      @ValhallaIronworks  Před 3 lety

      This brass was generously gifted to me by Sam Towns, and is 6mm thick. Many metal scrapyards, however, will stockpile brass.

      Ah, because this isn't a tutorial on how to DO hidden tang guard fit-ups. It's just a tutorial on how to get better looking, tighter fit-ups. It assumes that you already know how to do a basic guard fit-up.

    You can also use brass powder with epoxy to fill those gaps, then hit it with the polishing mechine. It would need a microscope to notice the difference
