Forge welding with Filip Ponseele: the double cleft weld! (2020)

Belgian Blacksmith Filip Ponseele demonstrates a double cleft weld in mild steel. The flux used is Quartz sand. The two bars are upset, then tapered and cut to form two clefts. The two clefts are then pushed together to hold the two bars together. After fixing together, the clefts can be forge welded together. Email: TechnicusJoe@ Insta: BlacksmithJoey
