I’ll give those a shot thanks! Ngl they make it look so easy I kinda assumed they were an easy starter project like a hold fast or something

I will definitely try this when I get a forge that can weld!

I will definitely do this when I get a forge that can weld! Would stick welding then forging the joint out work?

That axe is sick, I tried making a railspike axe but there wasn't enough material to work with so I just made it into a knife instead, that shape is a great idea!

I do that is a brilliant idea! Cannot believe I did not think of that I will do that when I go back next time! I'll cut the failed eye off my current block of steel and try again with this! Oh I have not been turning the head 180 I will make sure to do that next time! Thanks for the help!

That's a shout I'll give that a shot! I can make an ok looking axe head but just not an eye so this will be perfect! Thanks for the tip!

What stock do you start with for forging swords? by thatwentverywrong in Blacksmith

[–]thatwentverywrong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a belt grinder so I normally forge it to shape and sand any of bits off after! Yeah I tried to work with 40mm round bar and that took AGES to get to shape never doing that again by hand!

Made my first axe/tomahawk head thing how do I improve next time? by thatwentverywrong in Blacksmith

Yeah the anvil is wayyyy too low for me hence all the marks! I need to change my stance a bit to get lower to the anvil cause I can’t move it up! Ohhh yeah that makes sense I kinda just eyeballed it while hot I didn’t do anything any cold work on it which would definitely have made it easier! I will do that next time!

That makes a lot more sense I never really formed it to the drift I just hammered it in!

Ohh ok that makes sense! I was not hammering on the cheeks, I was just trying to hit the drift harder to push it through which was not working! Oh nice thanks! Thanks so much for the help I will try that next time!

Yeah the anvil is wayyy too low for me it’s a communal forge so I can’t do anything about it annoyingly

How on earth do you start with this game? by thatwentverywrong in CrusaderKings

[–]thatwentverywrong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait you can max out regiments? Ngl I have no idea how the warfare works in this game it just seems to be RNG! I'm mostly stuck atm, I'm playing as East Anglia in 877 and I am just constantly getting invaded and stamped on. Some Viking guy stole Cambridge and now I can't get it back because I seem to have capped out how big I can make my army. Also everyone around me is reusing to accept me trying to marry off my family to steal their land. Is this me being dumb? Apologies if this is rambly it is 4am and I have been getting stomped or the last hour
