sidewinder81777 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 So I took the 2 stacks of 9 quarters I Welded at the end of my last thread and welded them together and made this billet. I think this is probably the coolest thing i can do in my little micro forge, but bigger things are on the horizon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teenylittlemetalguy Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 looks nice! Patina is always the big issue to tackle once you can weld and get a good pattern. I hear there are some good commercial formulas, but they are way to expensive for me to try in Alaska. I get pretty good results darkening copper with Ammonia fumes. Easy to go to long though, and it effects brass about the same as copper. Looks really good on nickel/ copper mixes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 IIRC Manfred Sachse has a picture of a 1 ton pattern welded billet in his book. "Damaszener Stahl". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
