I make a blade from a stalagmite that has grown under the grinder.

Is it even possible to use a stalagmite? I didn’t know until the end whether it would be possible to cement the stalagmite to the full depth in order to restore the burnt metal to steel. Cementation was carried out for six hours, carburetor - charcoal powder, activator - salicylic acid.

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.
10. In what liquid do I develop the pattern on the blade.

This is for English speakers. Shurap is Russian-speaking and in our language the first word is spelled the same in the phrases "hot pepper" and "sharp knife". So that's how he makes the knife "sharper".

Hey question! Why does the hot metal flake up when it’s pounded?

[@AnnLiesArtist]

That metal surface bonds with oxygen and becomes brittle, pretty much the same as rust. Oxygen bonds with metals easily, and even faster when that steel is heated. The resulting material is brittle and has a lower melting point, so it separates and flakes off. This is why forge welding or other forms of welding require a flux: the flux keeps the oxygen away from the hot metal so none of the corrosion mixes into the weld when it’s molten.

This is so awesome! Just like the layers of the different minerals and rocks found in the Earth's crust that have accumulated over time, you can see the layers of all the different metals he has had to grind down over time! I absolutely love this! Genius!

[@skunkpower9081]

This gives me a great idea. I've always thought about a matching short sword and dagger set with feather damask in the center of the blades. This looks like a great way to do something like that.

What a result! Very unique!

Thank you for not blinding me at 2 AM with the welder.

[@Karl_Kampfwagen]

Thank you, for finally getting good auto-shade visors for welding and camera... Your welds were better, the video was better, and the knife turned out MUCH BETTER than usual. Some people discredit the damages of welder's flash as "no big deal," but I assure you: it is a BIG DEAL.

[@andrewut7ya511]

Yea, its crazy how many people just disregard safety. I know a guy who wont use his fume extractor while soldering because "its too loud"... 1st of all its not even very loud, quieter than a hair dryer, the noise come from under the table, and without it you will be living in a cloud of metal fumes. I will not turn on my extracfo if im doing 1 quick connection, but anygbing more than 1 it goes on.

Wootz steel from swarf from the grinder, that’s absolutely ingenious and I love the fact that you preserved the wootz steel in mono steel. You never cease to amaze me.

[@firstnamelastname180]

Not wootz, wootz is a crucible steel

[@kevinhinson994]

@@firstnamelastname180 look at his process the canister basically was a crucible by surrounding the swarf with I’m assuming graphite he kept the shape while removing the impurities from it, also note he didn’t press or hammer the canister before removing the billet. So the middle core of that knife definitely isn’t Damascus.

[@D-Vinko]

@@kevinhinson994 by definition canister isn't crucible

[@kevinhinson994]

@@D-Vinko the vessel isn’t as important as the process to have canister Damascus you have to have heat pressure, meaning you have to forge the canister to get solid steel. to prepare the swarf for the forge weld to his mono steel he heated it in a canister filled with an insulating material, making a crucible of sorts, note when it came out the oven he didn’t hammer or press it but rather cut it out the canister, the process is more similar to wootz steel, than Damascus.

[@firstnamelastname180]

@@kevinhinson994 i see what you're saying, the steel fused rather than being forced, crucible steel is typically molten though no?

I’m willing to say that you’ve made the world’s first ‘wood ring’ Damascus Steel. Haven’t seen a pattern like that before. Edit: I forgot I made this comment and I agree with a few under me in the replies. Wood Grain Damascus sounds a lot better than Wood Ring Damascus. P.S. Only problem is it looks like it takes forever to get the billet of metal big enough and it seems delicate to the touch (as evident of the first grinding wheel visit)

what if this is the secret method lol
