Mark Ling Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Here is a video put out by the great Alec Steele! forging a Damascus American flag, the best pattern, ive seen yet, really neat.

draavi Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I saw this... very cool. The pattern is supposed to travel through the entire billet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Have you seen the one that Daryl Meier did and presented as a bowie knife to President Bush? Cleaner pattern in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Ling Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 And here is Alec forging the British flag. In my opinion it seems like it was easier to do, and less complicated. But is still really cool! makes me really want that Pilkington... Littleblacksmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHCC Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Damascus of the flag of Poland would be even easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 With the UK billet he's got a good start on a lot of the flags of the commonwealth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
