The process of making mosaic Damascus steel l from an elevator cable.
Tea: Hibiscus (Sudanese rose, Karkade)

I want to recommend a channel about making armor. The armor makes medieval defense for museum exhibits, paintings and archaeological finds. I recommend watching a video about making a tournament knight's helmet. / @armorysmithworkshop
On my patreon page, I began to explain the processes and secrets of my work. Topics already covered:
1. Why do I add pepper to container Damascus steel.
2. What do I sprinkle? Flux and its composition.
3. How do I remove the container from the workpiece (container Damascus steel).
4. Why am I drilling a hole in a container.
5. Why do I sweep away the dross from the anvil with my hand.
6. Why do I first forge some blanks on a tree.
7. In what and why do I soak the blank before forging.
8. In which granules do I place the workpiece after forging.
9. What kind of white powder do I pour into the container.

Am I the only one who chuckles at how he almost absentmindedly wipes the anvil clean each time he's done? Never underestimate the value of a clean workspace.

[@YKGx1]

I love watching someone like yourself, who pays such attention to detail work. Just the time you took to forge weld all those pieces together was brilliant! The final product was absolutely beautiful! Thank you.

[@dozer1642]

Not just a craftsman, but a true artist. Very well done sir.

[@chem7rn502]

I truly appreciate being able to watch the hands of a craftsman at work. So many videos available are just about "Look what I made" instead of "Watch how I made it." I learned several new techniques in just this one video. Thank you for sharing your skill with the rest of us! Craftsmen like you help to make the rest of us better by teaching us what you know.

How can a process so violent and aggressive be so relaxing and soothing. Knowing what it takes to shape, form or just move the metal. By bare hands, the man can’t have much hair on his arms. Nothing but respect. From the USA 🇺🇸

[@shmaknapublar]

My favorite Hibiscus drink is for those hot days when you really need something to put some life back into you. Use fresh brewed tea, sweetened to taste with white grape juice, then poured over crushed ice with some muddled fresh mint. It will change your frame of mind. Nice knife. :)

[@shmaknapublar]

@@wildstallion2.048 There are many distributors for dried hibiscus flowers sold as tea. Find the best, most trusted source you can afford. We used to have a local vendor here in Austin that would sell fresh brewed at festivals and also sold the flowers in bulk for you to take home. That's where I learned the white grape juice and mint trick.

[@SkunkApe407]

Never had hibiscus tea. What's it taste like? Is it anything like dandelion?

[@geniuspharmacist]

@@SkunkApe407 it's pretty common all over the world with different names depending on the culture like Roselle or Flor de Jamaica... etc. It's pretty interesting, sour, usually sweetened, served cold, icy or hot depending on preference. Sometimes extra flavors are added... etc. It has the medicinal benefit of reducing high blood pressure. Try it it's good. Cheers en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibiscus_tea
