Minimal Tools .. yeah let me just get my pocket hydraulic press, everyone surely has one of those 😂

Excellent video very straight forward

You mentioned your "RedNeck" version of a mill, , , Hey bro, if it makes a nice finished knife, who cares how you did it!!! :-)

It is best to have music and voice at the same volume.

What kind of wire did you bind the stack of quarters with ?

Very nice work, just a side note, there is no moisture in your metal, H2O or moisture is a by-product of combustion as well as CO2, with the water vapor condensing on the relatively cooler metal. Once the metal heats up the moisture no longer condenses. A good indicator of temperature none the less. Nice tutorial, thanks for sharing.

saw another video of a fella with an electric crucible that does 760 c with a steel compression bracket. cool to see someone just use backyard blacksmith stuff and get a good result... at least apparently. how many delaminated billets did you go through before getting a good one?

*promises using minimal tools* .. *uses hydraulic press*😆

merci beaucoup, tres pratique , merci pour le TUTO

Wow !! Great job man !! For not having a vertical mill, the fit sure came out nice !! Thanks for the tutorial!!!

Even better than your first attempt. Looks great. If you could do this in a vacuum chamber, that would probably help a lot with the cold shuts/voids.

Really cool proof of concept and another interesting way to reuse scraps of material. Nice job.

I wonder if cleaning every surface of the cutoffs with 80or 120 grit before heating would allow better results. Also flux everything very well. I like your idea it is very unique.

I would suggest adding flux to the cutoffs when you have them in the furnace, not just the pour. I’m thinking you may be getting some oxidation from the temperature and that is blocking the braising process in some spots.

When adding the brass, you are effectively brazing. When brazing you need flux. Another possible but time-consuming way to ensure full surface adhesion would be to coat each metal chunk with a thin braze first. Rather than trying to vibrate bubbles out on the anvil, you could keep the pot in the forge and vibrate the handle with a recip-saw, jigsaw or orbital sander.

Amazing job. Wow that's crazy.

Oh my god that is beautiful! I’m going to make some now…

Something new and different from the knife making community is always cool!!!💪🏼 Keep it up maaan, great job!

Nice video! Good to see you back ZJB

Awesome to see a new video from you, dude!

glad to see a new video bro!!

Cool tutorial! Just the art applications for this are too cool. You could probably get away with soldering this material onto a knife handle like scales

Wowers 😮

Were have you been man. I haven't heard from you from your scene april. Of last year. Everything going ok

Nice really picked up some pointers from you!

Can you do the same with layers of gold and silver to make a bangle

Good job!

Nice job bruh ! A nice fit is everything on these guards.

Saw you on forged in fire! You were so humble and took constructive criticism for the best! Thank you sir, I have subscribed to all your videos, keep posting! I am going to try to make a 1970-1980 case boot knife with coffin handle. I am 42 and look to you for inspiration on pieces. Would love for you to attempt the same knife and post it. I need pointers, not going to lie!

Charlotte, NC in the house!!!! I've been a hand engraver for over three decades, and have gotten into jewelry making. Thanks for your video.

Very cool looking knife, kind of wondering why you dont have more videos but I know life takes turns and so will have to be satisfied with what we see here. Awesome work and excellent collab, thanks for sharing. I hope it made a ton of cash for st judes

Absolutely gorgeous. I've just started getting into Mokume. Is there a chance I could purchase a billet from you?

Funny. I've made some damascus by hand (which btw is a pain in the ass and very time consuming if you dont have a press) so figured this would be simple to do with softer materials but had absolutely no success and ended up wasting $10 worth of quarters. had them nice and clean, wrapped them with wire exactly like in video then proceeded to throw in forget. once I had everything up to temp I started hammering quarters and looked like they were nice and welded. tossed back in forge to get back up to temp and 1st hammer blow to them after 2nd heat cycle the quarters all blew apart. tried it twice and both time quarters just blew apart. idk wtf happened but gonna try again and if same thing happens I'm done trying to make the shit because I'm not gonna keep wasting money away that can be spent on other things. Lol

Records self breaking the law lol

Can that be used to make a strong blade or is it just decremental?

I am liking your work. We need to get together and swap ideas. I live on the nc coast about 4.5 hrs from you.,

That’s awesome! :)

What kind of wire do you wrap the quarters with

I saw it called a rose Damascus when the pattern looks like if you're looking down at roses

Awesome pattern 🗡️

When you're forging quarters it's pretty easy, because they're already layered with beautiful metals.. it turns out really awesome.. some other videos that I saw.

great knife ,i love mokume gane

Why wouldn't you use nickels? It would be WAAAAAY cheaper

👍 super

That piece turned out great. Love the pattern. Well done. How can I buy some from you?

minimal tools?

Absolutely gorgeous!!! Need to try this👍🏼

Nice vid! Where did you get your flat file?

Great job! Very informative
