- We'll be forging beautiful nickel copper damascus! This is called Mokume Gane and is a decorative damascus for fittings and jewelry. We're going to make this out of US coins, specifically quarters!

What should I make with this mokume gane? Have you attempted this yourself? If so, what's your process if its different than mine.
A Habaki, a Ring, a Crossguard?
@@smrettpecca Habaki would be interesting. Hmmm... 🤔
Why not use copper sheets and zinc, instead of defacing U.S. currency? The Dumbocrats are already stating that we're having a coin shortage, which I'm calling bullshit on because their mouths are moving, but, I don't believe in destroy American currency. Cool project, I just know that you can do this with copper sheets and zinc or nickel is all.
I'd like to see someone try a san mai with the mokume gane cladding.
Make the blade core to shape. Forge clad the mokume gane and then grind it out.
Full tang. Make the handle scales from twisted mokume gane.
Maybe some day I’ll try the mokume gane cladding on a knife. I’ve done the cu mai so it’s not that much of a stretch. Thanks for watching!
I thank you very much for adding the Arabic language. How fun that was. I wish you success always
Glad it helped you, thanks for watching!
Try making copper san mai next!! Nice work, sir. Looking forward for more!
That’s a great idea! I may try that. Thanks for watching!
Puts a new meaning to buying your stock! Neat project man!
Thanks! I’ll be making something cool with it soon! 😉
That was really cool what you made and I'm sure you're wife was very pleased with the suprise. That hand guard is going to look awesome on any blade. Love your videos
I’m thrilled you like the videos. Lots more cool stuff to come!
WOW !!! First video I've ever seen on making Mokume thanks!!
Glad you liked it! It’s a cool process. 👍
Lucky lady!
Thanks, she did like it! 👍
Thank you for showing this I thought about doing it a few times but no one really explained it like you just did.
I’m glad it was useful. Thanks for watching
Beautiful, somehow simple and fascinating as well! I like this ❤
Thanks for checking it out!
Man, I am so amazed and excited to go out and try this. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks for checking out the video! Go give it a try!
Thanks for the tip. Tried this today. Worked out excellent. Enjoy your channel. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Rob! I’m glad you got something out of it! 👍
That’s came out great man! I literally just made my first mokume gane tonight. Then turned on RUclips to see you’re vid! Freakin crazy! I did 2 screwed up the first one but won the second, rained dropped that billet, I’ll sand and etch it tomorrow.🔥⚒💪🏻
Great minds think alike! I’m looking forward to seeing your process. 👍
hey dude just letting you know that you still inspire me to keep making knifes even though they're not great im actually making progress so massive thank you
We all start somewhere, Shaun! Keep at it! They'll get better every time! Thanks YOU for watching!
Fantastic looks and great success! It looks so simple and fun i will surely try this myself.
Thanks for checking out the build!
That would make an amazing guard for any knife.
Or fittings.. stay tuned. 😉
That's crazy awesome sir
Thanks! This ended up being used in the habaki of the wakizashi build!
Thanks for the video man! Its falls under the elongated coin act for sure! But id make sure you put either a solid copper backing or silver for the pendant! Any prolongated skin exposure to nickel can cause a nickel allergy and irratation!
Thanks for watching!
I thought about doing this a few times but never did... this might just be the push I needed. Great video bro! =)
Thanks! I think it turned out great and I’ll definitely be using it for some fittings. Even thinking about using it as cladding in a San mai. 😮
It glows because the copper is really good at conducting heat. Since the welded piece is small it will heat up really quick trying to get as hot as the welding arc and cood down as the ambient temperature and surface area fights back trying to cool down the piece.
Very nice.....
Thanks!
Eine tolle Idee, um an das Ausgangsmaterial für diesen Mokume Gane zu kommen! :)
Danke fürs zuschauen!
@@TyrellKnifeworks Ich schau dir gerne zu! :) Ich bekomme hier oft Inspirationen für eigene Projekte. ;)
@@smrettpecca
Ich bin begeistert, das zu hören! Lassen Sie mich wissen, ob Sie noch andere Projekte sehen möchten!
@@TyrellKnifeworks Ich arbeite gerade an eine Anderthalbhänder. Ich bin mir noch nicht sicher, ob ich den " einfach " als Torsionsdamast ( 1.2767 und 1.2842 ) mache, oder ob ich tatsächlich das Risiko eigehe, und " Wootz ", sprich Tiegelstahl versuche. Als Vorlage dient mir ein Schwert aus dem Klingenmuseum in Solingen.
@@smrettpecca Klingt nach einem coolen Projekt! Schicken Sie mir ein paar Bilder, wenn es fertig ist. Ich werde anfangen, Zuschauermesser in der Triple-T-Serie zu zeigen!
Could you use mokume gane as the copper in copper damascus? if you could, I think it would look nice.
Yes, you certainly could. It might be tough getting it that thin though. Thanks for watching.
Look great! And i thought it was illegal to deface legal tender. Thx for the education!
Nope, only illegal if you are trying to change the value in some way. Thanks for watching
Very nice small project - looks great:)! Question: Copper and nickel doesnt need borax to forge weld?
I tig welded them together so didn’t bother with any flux. Thanks for watching!
Sweet. I've got some gold to make some of this. Can't find anyone game enough to do it for me
What would you layer it with? The melting point of gold is about the same as copper so it should be too hard. Thanks for watching, Lance
@@TyrellKnifeworks I think brass copper and nickel silver are the usual.
I dont know if anybody asked this already, and im too lazy to look for it... so, have you thought about folding the billet over several times to make the layers finer... yeah, thats it.....
I was just excited this one worked the first time. Next time I’ll add more layers. Thanks for watching.
Awesome video! What did you etch in? Ferric?
Yes, it was Ferric Chloride. Thanks for watching
Niiiiice 😊 Would you say that this would be a good way to start beginners on forging?
No, not really. Mokume is pretty difficult to forge. Stick with basic forging projects like making leaves or snakes and then move up to knives. Thanks for watching.
One problem with using nickel in mokume gone is that nickel dust is a very strong carcinogen. So you gotta be obsessively careful with your respirator when sanding and filing the final product.
Thanks for watching, Arash.
Will mig welding work on the quarters?
It would but then you’d have to grind it out and you’d lose a bunch of material.
عمل جيد ...لكن بهذه الطريقة ذهبت الرسوم والنقوش .....الافضل اظهار هذه النقوش
شكرًا ، لكنني لست متأكدًا تمامًا مما تشير إليه. ربما ضاع شيء في الترجمة.
Can I ask what you etch it with?
This was etched with Ferric Chloride. Thanks for watching, Kieren.
Did you use dc tig right?
This was using my old tig welder.. and yes it was DC tig. I am planning to repeat this build soon!
Could you use that for the 2 outside layers of a San mai?
Not sure about the outside layers but certainly for the copper layers of a cu mai!
@@TyrellKnifeworks I did see that video. That's a really cool knife. Maybe the mokume gane would work in a cu mai? That would look cool too. You get to have all the fun man! I only get to play on random Saturdays so I'm lucky to make a knife every three months. Ugh. But your videos are inspiring and are definitely helping me learn. I truly appreciate your time and effort in sharing your knowledge.
@@PatheticPeasant I’m a weekend warrior too but I guess it’s a lot of weeknights added in. I have a great wife who lets me tinker around in the garage a lot. 😉. I’m glad you are enjoying the channel!
Could you use muriatic acid to etch it?
You could. It’s good to mix 2/3 ferric with 1/3 muriatic acid for these. Thanks for watching.
Did you etch it with the same ferric chloride thats used for steel? I didnt hear it mentioned, I might be losing my hearing.
I did etch this one in the same one but then read that it will contaminate your ferric so I have a separate for copper now. One single item won’t hurt it but if you do a bunch, you’ll get a copper tinge on anything else you etch in it afterwards.
Dude you are amazing. You do so much for a bunch of strangers. I hope you know you are leaving impressions that will last a lifetime.
Thanks so much! I try to help anyone I can. This is the best community around and I love giving back. 👍
Did mom love it??? -Corin
Yes she did love it! ❤️
It's illegal to deface US currency for the purpose of defrauding someone. Like making a $5 look like a $20. Just destroying them for stuff is perfectly fine.
Yes, absolutely correct. Thanks for watching, Scott.
