Setting Down

Was having alot of difficulty working out

how to get a set down into a piece of bar for a hinge

plate without distorting the rest of the bar.

I thought hammer it in the same spot but even that 

would spread it in the wrong kind of way.

 After a short discussion with Dave

he told me about using a smaller piece of bar half the 

size of the set down you want. Get the piece

hot then bring it out and place the bar over the

point you want setting down and give it a few 

heavy blows into the metal.

 I tried it out on a bit of scrap and it worked

really well, it left a really clear marking 

for a strong hinge plate on my 

utensil.

This is the results, really like this

process. Gets good results with little time

involved.
