    That was my favorite pattern so far. Also, as a side note, I appreciate your commentary on how you take us through your process. I don’t want perfection- I want to see the mistakes and fails. Bravo old chap

    When the forge weld starts to delaminates. I use an air hose. Turn the pressure really low and it pushes the flux deep into the cracks get a good weld.

    Great video! About doing twist damascus: back in the day I watched a video of Jason Knight doing twist and he had one piece of advice that I've found invaluable, and that's to forge stock round before twisting. It saves having to deal with almost all of the shuts and lost material from the square edges.

    Great Vid man. Loved the pattern and process to get there. Sometimes its about the journey not the destination. Thanks for a good watch.

    I really enjoy your videos. The reason why you're not afraid to show your mistakes. I'm building my forge and I have not done anything yet. I can't wait to get to work.
