Madknight Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I actually just spent today learning how to make Damascus billets. Me and the person I was learning with managed to finish two in the 8 hour class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madknight Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 As soon as I figure out how to get them on here they'll be up lol.

crossdawg Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Winddancer, did you ever get any cable to try your hand at damascus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hard to tell in pics but looks like a good start. What metals did you use. How many layers. Are you going to cut/drill/twist for pattern and etch for contrast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windancer Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Nah, still lookin' :) My old truck gets 6 MPG or I would have snapped up Paul's generous offer :) Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madknight Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 It was 7 layers using band saw blade and steel. The instructer chose it I just worked it. It was folded 3 times, and I think I'm going to try my hand at making a few knives before I try grinding this down into a blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
