LMAO For sure. Really though just read up on it a little. Its hard work but the theory is not that hard to grasp. Ultimately your just welding 3 planks of metal together. That actually depends on the forging method you use and what your making a blade for.
My dad once made a die dye however the hell you spell it. To re thread an axle housing on an old ass truck. Used a hunk of metal, a lathe, some heat, and some sort of oil dip bath to harden the metal. The thing actually worked too.
