where did you get the lenses from?

Clarification. This is very impressive but it is MECHANICAL Damascus. True Damascus steel is derived from one cake or melt of a steel that contains very small amounts of Vanadium, Molybdenum, Chromium and sometimes Niobium. These are strong carbide-formers, and together with a carbon content of over about 0.9%, they give the steel it's true Damascus structure of iron carbide particles in a martensite or pearlite matrix. The iron ore came from a deposit in Southern India that was worked from circa 400 BC up until about 1800 AD. Sorry for the above, but I am a retired metallurgist with swords that have true damascus and mechanical damascus blades. Again, it is a VERY impressive video.

I really enjoyed seeing your process and results. This is the "scary taboo gangster knife" in Indian culture, so it's surrounded by some urban legends and mystique. Must say your craftsmanship probably far exceeds the standard most of these knives would have historically been made to. Perhaps like what an experienced artisan might have made for the odd passing British nobleman.

How to forge the chain FOR Bicycle?!!

Kaisa milega

I studded and try to make one like this thankyou sir 🙏❤️

Crushed and twisted w

I really love my machine. I've been using my machine for a while. I have found that these things definitely need a little work straight out of the box, but they are user friendly easily, customizable and modifiable. I've done some customizing and modifying to my machine. I've also made a couple of videos showing what I have done. I'm always interested in seeing what other people have done to their machines and what they are doing with them.Thanks for taking the time to make the video😊

It's always nerve racking to do something new best advice jump in the deep end and go for it you mess up try it till you get it down

I think our old mate Tim may have kicked the bucket, RIP Tim, we’ll miss you.

Appreciate your efforts....Keep the good work going.....God bless

glowing magic steel

Crushed twisted W's 1000 layers would be rough going

You do a hundred layers the cut and stack it ten times

I really want you to guide me as to how to design permanent mold for TVs star lx rim. It's a rim of India design motor cycle commonly used in Africa. I will really appreciate if you can help me out with a content on the above description. Thanks

I am amazed with the guidelines on permanent mold making

You're kind of blacksmith. And is the same thing I like., Still. Got some Crane cable for you when you come through here on I 5.

How are you doing, sir? When I first moved up to Washington about 8 years ago I start watching your videos.

Great Hammer. Dimensions of the Du Pont Linkage?

one of the coolest videos I've seen! Thanks!

Great looking drill. But that would seem kind of inconvenient. You say it's going out in a blacksmith shop with no electricity...but you put on an AC motor?

great to see an old forgotten Indian blade being brought to life , end results is amazing !

Great what rubber liquid you used

Greetings! Interesting vid, and a fun project! I was hoping you could provide a detail for me on the wedge shape. How wide are the two ends? Also perhaps the length that you chose.

Nice

By the power of Gray Skull, I'm about 6 years late for the give away 😅

Do you still do forging?

I know it's been a long time since you've made this video Tim but I got a question if you don't mind. Did I miss the counter weight for your hammer or is it not there? Would a counter weight on the fly wheel smooth things out a bit more so it's not lifting a lopsided load when bringing the hammer back up? Thanks for any info you're able to give.

I want tongs! Big Dog Forge

I love that no matter how tough and manly a person is, the second they start pedaling a grind stone they just look like Kermit the frog riding a kids tricycle. Not sure why I get such a kick out of it but it's cheap entertainment.

Do you have direct links to the other videos in this series? Also did you make the grindstone or have an old one?

Supar bro

Great restoration of a lovely old machine. I like your video production style and your calm, knowledgeable narration.

How do I get a burner from big dog

06 - 24 I just watched this video , been thinking about this , I heard that the cycle rate is too slow . But yours looked good . Very nice video .

Love your work and your videos...thank you

I've been watching videos about this style hammer for a bit, and you're the first to make me chuckle in your description... "couple dozen nails, more is better..." Just awesome

Unfortunately, I still got a piece of railroad track from 1970 Something. From Wichita Kansas. Now I live up in the Northwest.

Great video how are you all doing, Uh, come up here from Oklahoma about 7 ish years ago. And you was the first me a lot to make my own forge.

That looks very familiar because back in the 70s. I've got some railroad track that I still got today a very small piece but that's how I fix everything. Miss your videos.

I've been growing soon, but I'm not sure why. I succeed for the last 6 years since moving up to Washington State from down South.

Haven't talked to you all in a while. How are you all doing ? Watching that because I've got to make a tool and appreciate your video.

Pro welders tip When making any tacks Turn your heat up on welder.... it will burn in better and leave less build up on tacks

the rotatation. does it work better , going away from you, or towards you? also would it work with one treaadle only?

Where you go? Its been forever. I hope your ok.

Hi Dan, great videos, I've a question on balance.. does the machine need any counterbalance type weight , to balance against the revolving cam on the main wheel? thanks, Eddie in Ireland..

i like it harvest the whole system from another similar system. Nice.

That's awesome

That billet looks really neat! I like that. My finished record now is 200 layers all hand forged. I made myself a press so now I’m kinda at a dilemma.... I have a billet now at 1842 layers. I’m like you, I doubt I’ll ever go this high again but..... since this will be a 1 time thing should I cut my billet into 2 or 3 pieces. 3,000+ or 5,000+ layers? I’m wondering if I’ll even see a pattern or not. I’ll probably never go above 500 layers again. What is your opinion please? 3 or 5,000 layers?
