CurlyGeorge Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 My wife ordered a new two disc CD/DVD set for me entitled "Forging Damascus, How to Create Pattern-Welded Blades", with Jim Hrisoulas. I am not a bladesmith. But I'm anxious to watch these to see if I can learn more about pattern-welding. I have done very little of it, so far, and my results were mixed, at best. Anybody else have these discs and already watched them? Are they good teaching aids? It will be a few days before I will be able to watch them, as we're preparing for a camp/demo this weekend. I'd be interested in others opinions. Thanks. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Hale Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 A long time ago I got that set in vhs.It is not only well done by one of the very best in the business. It changed the way I work. I had made quite a few billets before,,since I got the set I have not had a billet fail and make patterns I had not considered prior.

CurlyGeorge Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Thanks, Rich. That is what I was hoping to hear. I can hardly wait to get back from the demo so that I can take the time to watch it. I would really like to get good at making pattern welded items. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
