A video on hand-forging a triskel. It's my first attempt at this, it's a finicky little one, but a very enjoyable process! #blacksmith #craft #forging #craftman #craftmanship #foryou #forgewelding
Basic but historic forging. I have two powerhammers and a hydraulic press in my shop. This sort of work makes my equipment blush. The true essence of it all?? You see it right here. Looks easy doesn’t it? Ha! Very well done!
I’ve been trying to get tomahawks to forge weld but I keep messing it up. Anyway you said you use it for mild steel do you also not use flux for carbon steel.

As John Switzer would say, that was a very "fiddly" piece of forging, and you brought it off perfectly. Thanks for sharing your techniques.
He wouldn't say that at all. It is the most basic set of jump welds. Nice guy but not impressed with his welding skills. Sorry.

Beautiful work. My grandson is becoming more interested in my forging, I'll pass this along and set the hook.
Thats great to hear ❤

E o ditado popular quem não tem espada usa a baimha quem não tem baimha usa a bigorna e marreta e sima parabem
After the final forging, how did you get the piece so clean & shiny? Thanks
An angle grinder with a wire wheel!
Did you attack it without borax? or did I miss something?
I don't use flux for welding mild steel or wrought iron, though it can be useful when welding sheet to heavy stock.

Looks like a coat hanger

In Christianity it symbolizes the Holy Trinity

The Triskel predates Christianity. It is known as the earliest spiritual symbol. It's also found on stone carvings in Newgrange here in Ireland, which is at least 5,200 years old.
It is mostly anticipated as sign of unity and used in coats-of-arms e.g. like that of the Isle of Man etc.
The use of a physical one is beyond me. 😮
Triskelion is, as a form, shows rotation of 3 spiraling outward.
Really catches the eye!
