After heating it on the oven, I place some borax
on the piece. (Picture 9)
Place it on the oven til forging temperature (about 1300C) (Picture
10)
Using the forge, I completely forge the different elements that
compone the ball bearing (inner and outter containers, bearings
and spacers) (Picture 11)
Once I have both pieces forged, I place on on top of each other
to forge them together too. (Picture 12)
Again, after heating it on the oven, I place some borax on the piece
and then I place it on the oven til forging temperature (about 1300C)
(Picture 13)
Using the press again, I forge both pieces together. (Pictures 14
and 15)
I cut the resulting piece in two. (Pictures 16 and 17) |
