How do you make various forge weld patterns?

The short answer is by folding and welding different steels and acid etching the results. Twisting the billet and then hammering it flat is one method. Grinding into the billet is and hammering the billet flat is another. While there are some standard patterns you can get an idea of what an end product will look like by using two colors of plasticine and a rolling pin. Your only limitation is your imagination. One book I cannot recommend strongly enough is Pattern-Welded Blade: Artistry In Iron (Paperback) by Jim Hrisoulas.


Why was the question how many angels can dance on the head of the pin important in Descartes' time and how does he attempt to answer this question?

The question about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin was important because it explored the nature of infinity and whether or not the divine was subject to the finite rules humans were. Descartes answered the question in a typical skeptical manner with "it depends". He states that it might be infinite because angels don't occupy space or none because angels have no physical body and cannot dance.


How do you clear opening of spray paint can that is full but will not spray?

Cleaning a clogged spray head on a can is difficult. Using a pin or other device in an attempt to force the clot out will likely damage the spray head. In some cases, soaking the spray head in thinner or acetone will loosen the clot enough that it can be ejected. If the spray head is removable, you might try replacing it with one from a similar can.To avoid having this problem happen in the first place, when you're finished painting, turn the can upside down and spray for 3-5 seconds until paint stops coming out of the head.
