Can you 3d print hardened metal??? That'd also be sweet.

you can 3d print in pla which burns cleanly enough that you can use it for lost wax casting.

you can just get it welded together

A decent mechanic could weld that together in about 10mins.
Which is quicker than it would take a blacksmith to bend a horseshoe into that shape.

The only problem with welding it together would be pulling the temper out of the blade causing it to just deform when it hits a hardwood twig.

maybe just cut a square hole in a piece of 2x4 and tack it in place op same difference and it will chew through most brush and eventually feed itself into the blades easy peasy bing bang boom no problem plus since wood is lighter than metal u don't even have to balance it or nothin no matter how many rpms it spins at so just go hog wild with how you half rear end it.

Also tell your blacksmith that too when he's fixing it not to bother with weight or nothing if he decides to just tack weld it back together, if it spins fast enough, weight just sorta "blurs together" around the axis point and runs smoother, that's physics you know

The blacksmith’s mustache is actually soot and burned skin acquired during the Ascension Ceremony known as Hephaestus’s Kiss, wherein the aspiring smith gains his powers by planting a deep wet smackeroo on the turgid Anvil of the Forge Lord.

Okay, so the smithy is gonna repair the part "good enough" to get me through the season and I'm gonna order a replacement from Australia. $10 and done today so that's awesome. But tell me more about your guys' experiences going to the smithy!

I tried doing backyard blacksmithing. I made a piece of metal shaped into a different shape.
Lessons I learned:
1) I need a flat sturdy surface to keep my cheap harbor freight anvil from moving around
2) Melted Non Ferrous metals burn much more nastier on your skin than Ferrous metals.
3) Don't use coal that falls off trains, it emits a nasty green smoke that makes my chest hurts.
4) I'm lazy.

It's a biological fact that men of a certain age and gravity will inevitably take up blacksmithing. It's a tale as old as time.

gently caress that the best route is to go in there and specify nothing. If/when the smith asks for clarification you respond with "Eh, fuckin' surprise me bro" and a shrug.

While what you're saying is completely true, once you're done welding you'd grind it down flush, and once that's all done, you could very easily heat the absolute gently caress out of it and dunk it in oil or water or whatever to regain the hardness.

Open an asian themed black smith / take out place and have it set up so that people come in and sit down expecting nothing special, but one of the really old chefsmiths (that's trademarked now) wanders past then stops and turns to the new arrival as if noticing something interesting about them, and asks them about their hunger and responds that only a TRUE hunger warrior could know THAT and though he has retired from doing so, at such a disreputable place as this, he will create for them a to-go order so fine it will feed the gods themselves, should they meet them in their travels! Like straight out of a Zatoichi movie.

I just bought a used Troy bilt chipper shredder last week. It's fun because you can toss a decent sized tree branch into it and tree dust comes out the bottom. Also, it sounds like the giant mentally deficient offspring of a jet engine and a garbage disposal and it pisses off my rear end in a top hat neighbor.
