Damascus Of Broken Bandsaw Blades

[@1slotmech]

You tried something, it didn't work, and you learned something. So did we. thank you! 👍👍

[@GrrrRu]

SPOILER !!!!

[@valeforedark]

And ruined it. Cheers.

[@joshportie]

Ah good old fake Damascus circa 1800

[@clarklindquist8137]

Great video. Its important folks know it's as much trial and error that leads to success. Great attempt. Nice save with the ring.

[@andrejohnson6731]

The ring looks great! I like how the very simple pattern was warped in an interesting way simply by turning it on the lathe. You should definitely continue experimenting with forge welding and damascus. It’s a process I never tire from watching, plus some of the comments here are very good advice to improve results. Thank you for sharing with us!

ШЕКАРНАЯ ИДЕЯ И РОБОТА БРАВО

[@dragonstonegemironworkscra4740]

Great project. Definition of learning process. One must try, learn, adjust and try again. Imho you gained knowledge and experience. When you try it next time adding in what was learned, a different result will be achieved. So if i may suggest a couple of things to consider in your next trial. Consider adding powdered metal to your flux.about 50/50. A 1080 1084 1095 or even cast iron powder. An additional option would be to add said powder during the stacking process. Just a dusting between the blades, then clamp it very tight. Weld the ends and perhaps a bed or two on the sides to prevent the expansion of the billet before and durin the 1st heats and welding heats. Another good option to consider is thr banding material others have spoken of alternated between the blades you have. Then flux with the 50/50borax and power steel. The capalary action of the borax pulls the powder steel into the cracks with it . IMHO any combination of the above should result in a higher success ratio, albeit some perhaps more than others. Special consideration to the cast iron powder being high carbon content and carbon migration at forgewelding temperature. It could in theory result in a billet with a carbon content close to .100 yet retain the some of the flexibility of the bandsaw blades. This in theory should result in a blade w good toughness yet enough carbon to create carbides necessary for superior edge retention. Just some food for thought. Hammer on my friend, for the day is ripe for new and awesome adventure. 🙏 Blessed day and well wishes Sir Crawford out ⚒️🧙‍♂️

[@JENNISWISS]

WOW so great art project🤗

[@kevinstewart1878]

I'm only 7 months late on this, but canister weld it. Slip all of them into some kind of rectangular tubing. So it's good and tight. Put a little paper towel inside, at the sides of the stack. As you weld on the caps little flames will create some porosity in your weld. That's ok, because that's your vent so it doesn't explode. I like to dab borax on those pin holes, extra air barrier while hot air can still come out. Then it'll weld fine. But also be sure to sand each piece nice and clean, first

[@andymiller5611]

Even though you didn't get what you wanted, you still made an awesome looking ring! Great video as always! 🤘

[@richardbryant7972]

I’ve got same problems with bandsaw blades I’m making right now some aren’t sticking together and some are. Thanks for video

[@MRVinydf]

Wow this was surprising, thank you videos on projects that not always come as planned!

[@FDMedic78]

You still recycled what you have. Still really cool what you did. You always do nice work no matter what you make.

[@desklamp1175]

Great video. Not afraid to show the trials and errors of weekend warriors

[@Thecando]

You did a great job. While there are many potential problems that caused the forge welding to fail they can be prevented in the future. 1. Some people recommend grinding off the teeth. This can be due to it making inclusion in the weld but also due to some saw blades being “bi-metal” which is where the teeth are a high speed steel that is welded on in the factory. 2. Try alternating the types of steel in order to create more contrast in the pattern. By having just one main type of steel, it will experience similar etching and carbon loss in the pattern welding process. 3. You could have tried putting everything in a canister with steel powder and welded it that way. 4. You could try cutting what you have and welding some steel in between and on the outside of your saw blade billets. Just some helpful ideas!

[@coltonthorpe7812]

As soon as I saw your thumbnail I knew this was a billet of broken handsaw blades. I've tried this on a few different occasions and only had success once. Every other time it turned into an absolute mess. I think that maybe some of the bimetallic blades have cobalt or some other adjunct added to them that prevents them from forge welding to themselves in the same manner that 5160 does. It would be interesting to try a cannister weld on somethough. Either way, solid video man. I love to see people trying new stuff!

[@clarklindquist8137]

I'm glad you show some failures too. It tells us all wr are OK when stuff doesn't go as planned. I do love the rings however, would be an interesting necklace pendants on with your logo on it, say a giveaway or something

[@remzo500]

Don't think I've ever seen Damascus style jewelry before you might have something there... : )

[@nothanksonh.w.3385]

The plot twist was amazing I never saw it coming 🤯

[@joshuathorson8813]

Should reach out to Matthew Cremona, he's got some monster band saw blades to work with

[@The93Momo93]

That was a pretty cool way to reuse those broken blades.

[@maradorgold5596]

8:47 Ah, the one ring to rule them all! 👍

[@robertdevore3350]

Maybe try folding the blades after you heat them and join them. Fold them 10-15 times...can't hurt to try. But great video!

[@chrishobbs236]

the ring turned out nice. could you melt the blades down and pour into a mold, i do not know if it would work but would like to see a video trying it thanks for all the videos you put out

[@aga3852]

That's what I was thinking but I think maybe they were going for to not melt it into liquid state, rather just heat it up well and push the pieces together. I dunno though

[@rickpalechuk4411]

When you heated the welded stack it started to warp and open between layers, no amount of flux can stop that from oxidizing. A canister can be used along with powdered steel, it must be sealed completely to keep from oxidizing and each blade needs to be ground clean. Cheers

[@JohnStenstrom]

Why does virtually presenter not cut completely through the stock, but leave a little tab to be broken off? I rarely see anyone cut completely through the work.

[@richardpalmer6196]

👍The idea is good . The issue may not be with the blade material , but may be in the type of flux or oxides left on the blades by the acid bath . We'll watch no matter how they turn out , we enjoy what you do .

[@KG-yn9qi]

You did way more than I could.not a Failure!

[@jeremyrice9437]

Soo satisfying with that first hammer hit out of the forge

[@arceusmaster91]

Anhydrous borax won't fluff up like the store stuff will. A lot more convenient

[@YooProjects]

Wow. Amazing. I like your channel 👍🍻👍

[@paulorth2251]

I read the comments below and I realized I know nothing at all about what you trying to do, but thanks for trying anyway. Also thanks the explanation at the end. I seen several of your videos and have decided to subscribe. Thanks for sharing this video with us and please keep them coming in.

[@MuhammadDaudkhanTV100]

So super hit

[@jacobbacuetes9850]

Why not melt the said blades and use a mold to forge it into a blade?

[@Deafboi27]

cool rings! how it cost???

[@zallibik9931]

awesome video as always, thanks man

[@justinprewitt245]

Try doing a canister damacus with a metal powder. It looked like a nice ring though.

[@barthooghwerff1682]

Great attempt! Im dreading my first time trying to forge weld...

[@WildHuntKnives]

My advice. Start out with mild steel that way if you don't succeed its relatively cheap lol. That's how i learned

[@flitchi.]

The ring is a Good Idea ! Thanks !

[@dennishughes4641]

Try adding 1095 powder next time and put it all in a stainless steel tube with end caps. Much more bold of a pattern that way. Might also suggest a twist if you really want a bold pattern.

[@abwoturab29]

3:00 You should mixing the borax with isopropyl alcohol

[@mattyal9347]

I was stripping copper off of a transformer from a microwave oven and was left wondering if it were possible to use the cores steel plates as a Damascus project.

[@stankrieger3137]

why not? give it a try, nothing ventured nothing gained, right?

[@mikeadams-hooper8645]

Nice vid. I didnt think the stack was hot enough to forge weld & could be why it didnt work?

[@eliascruz9757]

Cruz ✝️. Good scope specification good job 👍

[@JankoWalski-uo2br]

What's the name of this white powder? What you showering it for?

[@HandsonRestoring]

Cool mate !

[@GrooveyGrubworm]

Cool, I made an aluminum ring for my mom on my lathe

[@jasonford6607]

Really hoping for a nice blade but the ring looks great! Love your videos. Please keep them coming!

[@jimmyj9838]

Sempre un bel video, Grazie!!

[@lp-xl9ld]

While watching this video with someone who knows even less about this field than I do: "So what's that stuff he's sprinkling on the metal?" "Oh, flux." "No need to get nasty! It's a perfectly valid question!"

[@eddierodriguez419]

As always good video & it came out awesome

[@TrojanHorse1959]

That was cool, thank you!

[@aterack833]

Wonder if anyone ever just ran a bunch of weld beads and make a Damascus of them?

[@MARK-dv4go]

That is borax powder?

[@The_workshop11]

Is that the notorious 66 pound anvil?

[@jeremysnead9233]

What would it like if you twisted it?

[@danunger3240]

Damascus always etches better after being heat treated.

[@jasvindersingh8738]

Good working

[@chrisgilbert3305]

I work with a saw that big blades like that, if you are in the states, I'd be happy to send you a bunch

[@lukejsnell]

shurap vibes, nice work

[@desklamp1175]

Good effort.

[@Banjogoose]

3:17 looks like those videos of them pouring melted cheese on your plate of food

[@XDIY]

Awesome! 🔥🔥🔥

[@brunocastroaraujo119]

Nice job as always... I'm curious, where are you from?

[@mikedesensi6391]

the metal is the same it wont weld, try putting steel packing strap between the saw blades it will weld and show a pattern

[@jyxtheberzerking4824]

3:17 "mmmmmmmmmmmmmm... W e l d J u i c e..."

[@trebolilloo]

Que producto es e que le ponen a la hora de calentar el material ,gracias

[@amirlordman5697]

hi What is the powder that you spilled on the metal when it was heated?

[@ZioNello_]

0:54 bicarbonato e acqua? (baking soda and water?)

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very interesting but hard job.

[@valaha]

Its a succesful failure :) love the ring.

My granddad has an old rusty axe and can you help me restore it he give me the axe

[@amin9204]

Black Beard Projects upload video youtube recommendation : do you wanna see it ? its Damascus Of Broken Bandsaw Blades me : my english is not that good i don't have any idea what Damascus mean , but hell yeah i wanna see the shit 🙂

[@cflmaior]

Nowadays, the expression "Damascus" (from the capital city of Syria, where this kind of sword was made from the 3rd to 17th centuries) refers to a special way of forging a blade through alternating different kinds of steel ingots, hammering them together and doubling the ingot upon itself as many as 300 times. Blackbeard himself upped a video here in KZbin some time ago, with better results (look for "First Damascus, Hand Forged!").

[@SHOEB289]

Ohhhh shit i have ton of these

[@willenribeiro1010]

I thought he was doing a knife. All of the sudden he is a jewelry maker... Deception.

Where are you from? This accent is very familiar

[@AbduraimovErkin]

what I have looked now??

[@ale5404]

Bel Video!

[@Reaper55696]

You fold it into a block 100 times the it will look like what you seek

[@Straight_Outta_Hopton]

Please dont wear gloves when using power tools, its an accident waiting to happen. Great video.

[@KevinJamesLaw]

With the broken saw blades, it was all the same type of metal, so not very good differentiation.
