[TheForge] Band saw blades

[Peter Fels And Phoebe Palmer]

Those are nifty and i'd like one or 2...but you can
1 cut to length, grind a long taper on the opposing ends,
2 clamp in position (clamp can be made with a chunk of angle iron 
with a notch cut in the middle and a few nut and bolt hold downs 
welded in place.
3. use a propane soldering torch to silver solder ( with flux) to 
sweat together.
4. grind the excess.
5. remember you can do this trick in place so you can cut from a 
piercing outwards by lacing the blade through the victim, then 
soldering it back together....pf
