I had three 18 inch ,Oragon chain saw blades. I folded them in half and in hald agion to make my bundle.To make a total of 12 pieces. Then I forges welded them into a lump of steel then forged welded and folded them three times to make the layer count 36.I have not decided on the guard or handle at the momemt. The first coupled welded I used a squre hammer to get everything into a bar shape of steel ,Then I used my 20 to air over hydro jack press to weld and draw it out. Then the third weld I hammered the blade to shape.
