To forge weld steel I used borax to prevent oxidation and flush any inclusions

I use a wood board to prevent delamination of external layers dued heat lost

The press is very helpfull even is not so strong

Here I try to straighten the billet that was a bit twisted

I've changed dies for the press to spread the metal more easy

I try to wident the billet a bit using the hammer, I dont have dies for that yet

the press is helping me a lot to make a flat surface

The ends of the billet are cut to eliminate ant welding and flows

To know where 1095 steel is I'm using some ferric chloride
