Polishing And Determination


Recommended Posts

Thank you, Peter!

The author is a generally well informed professor, but many of his conclusions are based on guesses. He mixes up some important terms like 'polishing' and 'grinding' which are necessary to deal with the Japanese subject of TOGI. Folding and fire-welding of iron or steel were standard techniques in the iron-age and are still relevant for those who run bloomery furnaces or TATARA today.
 

His use of the term 'faggoting' is probably not correct for the iron-age, but came into use in medieval times.

It is a complex subject though.
