The ball bearings have chrome in them so they are harder to forge weld together in open air. For the tip, another method is just pinching it completely in the press so it forms a tip and your layers converge, that way you don’t need to forge weld. It’s a bit different look but I think it will work here. Good luck!

[@dagnard5707]

nice to see you are watching newer smiths doing work

[@JPsBladeworks]

It thought about the pinch method but i ended up just cutting it. They make nickel plates ball bearings as well i believe. That might be a better option for this type of build.

[@brysonalden5414]

I just watched someone doing a similar project with nickel coated bearings and no powdered steel; can't remember who it was, but it worked really well. Keep at it!@@JPsBladeworks

ооооо, Леонид Борисович, низкий поклон мастеру)) хотел посоветовать данному товарищу ваш канал посмотреть, дабы проникнуться магией и опытом)) вот не первый раз вижу , что сварить стали до "кучи" эти зарубежные ковали не могут и вопрос мучает, почему? что делают не так? может вы в каком то из своих выпусков расскажете в чем ошибка и почему так получается? данный ролик прям инструкция как делать не надо, хотя я наверное ошибаюсь.

[@Kuznica_Maria_Leonid]

@@ВалерийКошелев-и6ч Нас в Бауманском учили, что разбирать технологии на примере ошибок, "как делать не надо" -не надо. :) Потому что этот путь откладывается в голове и потом будет мозг мутить. А этот мастер начал, сделал шаг - и показал его, с ошибками. Значит, может сделать и еще шаги и достичь высот. Если захочет.

[@Bevel_and_Bark]

Loved your last ball bearing video, hope this one is just as good!!

[@JPsBladeworks]

This one is a little different. More of an experiment than anything else. But thats how i learn.

[@DGRocco]

Very cool video! How come you decided not to use steel powder in the canister??

[@JPsBladeworks]

I was hoping for a different look but it was a failure. If i try again ill use the tried and true steel powder for a nicer result.

[@JesusPerez-fi9fq]

The final knife is going to be sweet. Cant wait.

[@JPsBladeworks]

Its looking promising.

[@pageme101]

May have had some residual chemicals left in the bearings from the cleaning. But more likely, the chrome bearings are simply harder to work with.

[@JPsBladeworks]

The chrome makes it a nightmare to weld

[@4shinta]

Super pumped for this! Love your content.

[@JPsBladeworks]

Glad to hear it!

[@wouldiwasshookspeared4087]

Live and learn, it looks good still

[@JPsBladeworks]

Thanks. Im still happy with the end result. It cuts 😅

[@robertchristoph9319]

Your material was a bit thin when you forged in the tip, that's why you got the cold shut. It should be salvageable though. Just take an angle grinder with cutoff wheel up the cold shut to clean it out, and adjust your forge for a rich burn and try again with gentle blows from hand hammer and Flux the crap out of it (like dip the tip into a tin of flux)

[@JPsBladeworks]

I ended up cutting it but that is a good thought. Ill keep that in mind if i run into this problem again.

[@philmcglen6194]

Why didn't you put powdered steel in dude? Just curious

[@JPsBladeworks]

Trying to get a different look. Ive done many with powder. It gets boring to do the same thing over and over

[@draconicwolf6499]

At least the powder actually works, why it's used in canisters

[@austinstark860]

Where’d you source your ball bearings?

[@JPsBladeworks]

PGN Bearings

[@Docstantinople]

porqee no powdern?

[@JPsBladeworks]

Trying something new. Didnt work out to well

[@mushfiqurrahman2515]

So much steel...

[@bottepa3484]

Где бура?

[@bigernbladesmith]

[@JPsBladeworks]
