[QUOTE="Nightjar, post: 616169, member: 1414"] Here in Perth, there is a grandson (not mine) carrying on blacksmithing skills at weekend shows. he forges items at public requests. Home fire tools, scratchers etc. During apprenticeship we were taught how to temper our cold chisels, centre punches, scribers etc. We also made up tungsten tipped tools for specialty machining jobs. After retiring I built an engine powered auger for drilling sample holes when prospecting. What I did find was that the modern day throw away tungsten tips (we used to sharpen ours) can not be silver soldered/bronzed to steel? Never did follow up why, maybe someone here knows? [/QUOTE]
