Sask Mark Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 This weekend I tried pattern welding for the 1st time. I welded up a 12 layer billet (6 layers of 1/16" 15N20 alternating with 6 layers of 1/16" mild steel) and gave it a twist. I made this pendant with part of the billet. This is just polished to 200 grit and etched with vinegar to see the pattern. I don't think it turned out too bad. My next step is to polish it more then get it hot blued.

MRobb Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Looks good! What are the dimensions? I'd be interested in seeing it when you are finished. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sask Mark Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 Thanks Mitch. It is 1 1/4" wide x 2 7/8" high. The limiting step in completing it will be the hot bluing. I will have to have a gunsmith do it and I don't know how often they do bluing batches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisG Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 VERY nice and cool looking Mark, been looking at doing things like that myself. There is going to be a course on Demascus here at NAIT sometime, but I will be busy as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
