Title: mongolian arrowheads
Post by: ksnow on June 26, 2012, 11:42:36 pm

Hello all,
I was flipping through my PA back issues and stumbled across the article on making iron, Mongolian arrowheads.  I had made a few years ago, when the article first printed, and decided to have a go at it again.  I had some hammered blanks still laying in the box, so I just had to do the grinding and filing.  Hope you all enjoy.

I do not have a fine scale at all to see what these weigh, I'll see what I can come up with.

Hi all, found a scale at work, on e point weighs 254 grains, the other weighs 318 grains, heavier than they feel.
Not sure if scanning the articles is okay, but I could try to find them again, and get volume numbers.
