    What brand of solder did you use? I bought a couple from Amazon. Both advertised as a silver, hard solder. But my habaki keeps breaking apart.

    would brass be good to forge a habaki from ? and to cold forge it or to have it at a maluable heat ?

      You could do it with brass, but it work hardens much faster, so you will have to anneal it more often.

      Would heating brass in a coal forge be OK or What ? as its quite hard to get my hands on sheet copper or brass Here in Ireland

    I mentioned this to someone else, too. I hope you don't mind. You can make a vise insert that will help with folding and hammering of sheet metal. Look at DF In the Shop and see the video on vise inserts. videos, actually. I made something kind of like it, only with a bolt and wingnut instead of punching a hole for the pivot. I have two bars of tool steel, and one is shaped like the tang of a dao, so I can hammer to rough shape. Once you make one, you will use it all the time. You let it hang out the side of the vise, so that the bolt and nut are tightened and the thing is squeezed. The metal is trapped between and you can get good, tight folds, and hammer it square. kc

    yep, when you are dishing the mune do it front to back as well or you will end up with rocker...nice piece of copper, lifetime habaki supply! here is Saya~san at work: th-cam.com/video/DbCy_6hN2n8/w-d-xo.html ...nice shade of vermillion copper! likely something in the water that helped it out too...

      Are you saying that there should be more dishing at the front than the back?

    • @islandblacksmith

      no, just in addition to side to side, as you already figured out...during bending things always flare at the edges so compensating in advance is more fun than filing later ^___^

      CHF: Thanks for the link, I was going crazy last night looking for it. Why it's not in my favs I have no idea. I'm sure you're familiar with Following the Iron Brush? Yes? Many conversations on the patination of copper and the "scale" that forms upon quenching!

      Dang it, now I recognize you!
      I was really into FTIB in Afghanistan, but since I was injured, and I've been home, I have not had much time to participate. Once I get my shop up and running, I should be back to participate!
      Thanks CHF aka DJF
      PS: Love your website as well! Very instructive!
