Thanks for the video. It is great when talented gunsmiths share their knowledge. Question: were the bbls plugged when boiling them in the distilled water?
Either its not damascus barrels or u didnt have them polished good enough when u started blueing. If u cant see it before u blue u will not after and if u make the blue to dark u can male the finish sp dark it is hard to see or even cant see the damascus.
Excellent video. What Steve did is actually a lot of hard work. He makes it look easy. A job like this also requires a lot of patience.
I've met Steve, and he's a very open guy, willing to share what he knows.
Thank Master. Your opinión its unvaluable. Greetings
I would love to see those TIG repairs!
A great video with proper rust blueing.
nice thanks. how do decide if a weld fix can survive being fired or not?
stunning video :)
Beautiful rifle
Nice work

The plugs used during the boiling process were just there to provide a handle, not to prevent water from entering the bore.
You can explain how to perform open heart surgery, but one shouldn't attempt to perform it at home! Great work!
I have never seen a Damascus shotgun barrel. Would it be safe to fire, modern shotgun ammunition in those barrels?
👏👏👏
Sir , I have a set of damascus barrels that has a crack. Can you weld it for me? How can I contact you?
I couldnt get mine to take. I pretty much did what you said. I have a beautiful rustic blue color but no Damascus. Help?

And, what about the parts that you TIG welded ?
You lost me at the bench wire wheel. Im surprised you dont leave it outside for a week between steps for a nice rerusting
Why are you blueing Damascus barrels? They should be browned to enhance the pattern. "Blueing" or blacking as we call it is for modern steel.
