December 3, 201213 yr Did a pattern welding session with a friend that is just starting up and wanted to learn a bit. Started out with 8 layers (25x24x120 mm), used a large sledge hammer, sure missed the machine hammer. :) Did two folds (even though only 16 layers are visible in the pics). Interesting to do welding in ejector gas forge instead of a forced air. The heat areas are a bit different from my own. But it worked really well, and did not use much gas (judging from the ice on the tank (P45) ). I hope that he will make a nice knife out of the bar that we made. Here are some pictures:
