You wouldn’t happen to have any pics of these examples? Really interested to see what you have done with it. 

I have seen a YouTube video where a guy made Damascus from copper and nickel (mokume gane). I love the contrast it had between the two metals but after looking at prices to be able to duplicate it seems a bit too expensive. Does anyone have any suggestions as to other metals that would have such a contrast like this combination that would be more cost efficient?

I’m looking to make knives using the Honsanmai technique and would love to have a beautiful Damascus piece for the sides. Also any input on this idea would be most appreciated. 

Here is the link for the video I mentioned:

Unfortunately I didn't.  I will try to do a quick write up or video soon and post it.

I definitely look forward to it then.

Goro,

Heat treating ovens are not too difficult to build and can be done for far less that $2000.
I built one for around $300 using all new parts.  It is powered by standard 120V AC and has a digital temperature controller.

I was wondering if you ever got around to providing construction detail for this. It looks great from what I can see but would like to know more about it.
