Why Is This Damascus Triangle So Loud?

[@christopherrodriguez8154]

I've never seen such an amazing, perfectly articulated segway into a sponsor read. Brought tears to my eyes XD

[@soonerfrac4611]

Ben Shapiro would be proud. If he’s this good now, imagine when he’s had that much experience as he has.

[@esco.digital3746]

I was about to say pretty much the same thing 😂

[@tbread1128]

Will is the king of segues

[@awolfalone2006]

Downright beautiful transition.

[@kaceesavage]

Masterpiece

[@MattNolanCustom]

Nice work. It is loud because it is large and is made of hard and springy stuff, and has strong resonances in the frequency bands where your ears are sensitive.

[@TaranTatsuuchi]

Not thick enough? Well, that's upsetting.

[@Zach-ku6eu]

@11:40 Those two Trimmings are going to make a nice Camping Knife one day! Hello from your Spokane fans.

[@whatcanido936]

Perfect transition to talking about square space

[@dusty2206]

Will, still killin it, uploading more often! Love your thought process btw.

[@chrismattson]

thank you for taking me along with this experince

[@housegoth]

Could you not have heat treated it after you bent it into shape?

[@teddycook1299]

He explains this around 10:45

[@pault4513]

Made one of them up last Christmas time for silent santa That bell changed handle till it couldnt be taken any more

[@Dave_0993_I]

Excellent video, Brother. I helped some Scouts make something like a hundred of these the other year, with the old guy's jigs and such, out of mild steel rod stock,

[@DrownedLamp]

🤓Me: A percusionist, no wait a triangle player haha *DEMASCUS* 🧐Also me: Behold the fine craftmanship and sheer talent of this artist

[@b2bogster]

That is so awesome! What note is it?

[@carlerler4074]

Hi Mr will, how does the twisting machine keep the twists so even ?

[@maxbrazil3712]

The layers cause the increased resonance.

[@fishinhank942]

Ultimate punch! Haha, I love Hot Rod!

[@otterconnor942]

We expected a mosaic pattern, will. 😂

[@daniellindholm]

16.35 its the tinnitus you hear.

[@Fogmeister]

If Alec Steele, Jon Heder, and Mike Myers had a child… this would be their KZbin channel.

[@mandragor85]

15:47 ouch my ears the triangle is a bit off in the tune

[@elijahlacroix9741]

I am curious as how the triangle would have sounded above all if it had been heat treated, harder metal even louder?

[@kypreppertm1976]

Ide love to do this dinner bell

[@nodeio]

Just FYI, your vid appeared on my KZbin subscription page for a couple of hours, and by the time I got around to having the time to watch it, it was no longer there... Somehow, KZbin just cut your from my front page... [edit] Just a question as well... Twisting in a machine always seems like a rather lossy process to me, or rather, the twist rate always seems to vary a whole lot on the ends... i.e. it always seems difficult to get a consistent twist rate over the whole piece... I've seen instances where people sprayed water on the less twisting bits to tweak the temperatures/twist rates, but... Inherently it just seems like a process that just isn't all that consistent... I guess the question here is whether that is actually a consideration to you, whether you don't mind the variation in twist rates, or if that's something that bothers you as well? Do you use the ends? Do you cut off the ends? Is a consistent twist rate all that important to you at all? I don't know... Maybe it's the OCD in me that is bothered by it and it doesn't matter all that much, maybe the gradient in twist rates is actually something desirable to begin with... It's just something that's been bothering me for a while seeing it... [edit 2] Also... the sound is awesome!

[@saginawdan]

Cool 😎

[@Dornul]

Will, please level out your workshop camera. It's skew, and it's giving me vertigo 😅

[@ragnose1]

pattern welding isnt fucking damascus!

[@Araye]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@brunobarks6544]

AH HA. Illuminati. 😂 😂

[@ChineseMannequin]

You won't believe how clickbait this title is

[@whoshotashleybabbitt4924]

😂 3. Triangles have 3 angles. (Six if you measure outside angles but only crazy people do that)

[@whoshotashleybabbitt4924]

“You don’t want the ends touching because then it doesn’t music very well” Science with Will Stelter

[@BlackHoleForge]

You know most blacksmiths work really hard to make things not ring.😂 You're the first blacksmith I ever saw try to make the ringing get louder.👏👏👏 Good job Will.

[@russtuff]

You're not at the workshop, I just saw you at Blade Show 😂

[@LittleGreyWolfForge]

He lied! How dare he! Not at the workshop!?!?!! Edit: I wish I could go😢

[@russtuff]

@@LittleGreyWolfForge lol. It was pretty awesome, my first time.

[@IronAgeKnifeCo.]

That twist on the twister was so immaculately and evenly twisty. Quite satisfying

[@shootitorcallchucknorris]

It was a pleasure to hear it ring this morning, and an absolute honor to be able to shake your hand and talk to you for a minute, thanks Will!

[@misinformationwithrandy]

As a percussionist I'm extremely impressed. Nice work.

[@timm1139]

Same here, well done Will!

[@djjc9782]

i played triangle in a reggae band... "i used to stand at the back and ting"

[@jamielee9350]

The triangle has an open corner in order to inhibit it from having a definite pitch and thereby increasing the complexity and richness of the overtones produced. It's actually an "IDIOPHONE"..

[@nathangamble125]

The technical term is "musics better"

[@Coconut7403]

WE WANT LATHE RESTORATION!

[@sithus1966]

We will need a follow-up short of her opening it and using it for sure.

[@ThatWorks]

You sir are a gift!

[@Of_the_House_of_Black]

Man, you're the best kind of awkward. Please don't change.

[@zNauze]

Hey Will, not sure if you'll respond or not, but I've been watching you since you showed up at Alec's shop and watched Alec for a long time too. But there's one thing I never understood (just a casual forge lover but don't have anything to forge myself) is when or how do you decide to use either the Beaudry or the smaller power hammers, or the press? Why does it feel like sometimes you could honestly just use all 3 for the same thing, but you pick one or the other? That's not something I've seen being talked in any videos so far, and I was curious. Thank you!

[@Tyius420]

so glad will started making videos after parting with Alec been a blast watching your journey

[@nicholaskillmeier4895]

16:14, that's not the triangle going quiet, that's your ears never being able to hear that frequency again HAHA

[@Gimpy24x7]

Needs more Cowbell!

[@charleschrisp5661]

I have some old rock iron brownstock, two pieces, roughly 6 inches round by 2 inches in diameter. If I sent it to you, could you possibly do something with it?

[@MrHairyjerry]

So it only has two angles since the third angle doesn’t connect?

[@MattNolanCustom]

Three angles. Two corners

[@williamwayman441]

Put this video in the history books. Near as I can remember this is Will’s first swear word

[@-Jeremiah-]

I could be wrong but I am pretty sure there was some PG13 language when he dropped the hammer in Montana.

[@1kreature]

That is just lovely! I'd love to see a proper frequency spectrum of that thing since it has uneven arms vs root. It does sound like it is a tiny bit spread in frequency.

[@MesaCoast]

That'd be cool! A lot of concert triangles are designed that way on purpose to produce various overtones, sometimes also having arms of different length; I've even seen a couple where the thickness of the triangle varies drastically at different points. Perhaps the strangest triangle I've seen was one made out of square tube and gently twisted, before bending it into a triangle. I'm fairly certain it was made of brass, as it was very delicate

[@wombatillo]

@@MesaCoast A triangle is supposed to be the third harmonic, considering it's suspended from a third of a way from the tip and struck usually in the middle of the sides (one sixth away from the tips or any nodes)? I could see that even a slightly wrong suspension place (not exactly on the node of the main tone) will quickly absorb the vibration into the leather strap and also the two edge segments being 5-10% shorter than the middle segment will probably do all kinds of funky things to the tuning. I'd imagine that it will indeed "spread" the tone into a bunch of less defined nearby tones and give the triangle a much more natural sound than just one pure tone (with some over-harmonics)?

[@CNC-Time-Lapse]

It's a work of art that just so happens to make a beautiful sound too.

[@morrigansraven61]

About the same tone as my Military Grade Tinitus

[@FeelingLikeThatNow]

Checking with a spectrograph on my phone and the dominant frequency is about 2438Hz

[@mckbalisong]

As being one of the first people in line, im so stoked to now know that ya made the triangle! Definitely a way better way of starting off the whole show!

[@ozarkscarguy540]

This gives me an idea for a project for you. Traditional pipe Tomahawks were made out of gun barrels. So forge an octagon gun barrel out of Damascus. Then cut it down and make pipe Tomahawks.

[@ChipoSkippy]

I wonder if the length and volume of the ringing is due to it being Damascus?

[@TxStang]

Next up , a Damascus tuning fork that can shatter glass !!!!

[@jgbaca]

Am I the only one that was waiting to change the triangle in the board into an square as a segway to an squarespace ads

[@timm1139]

Me!

[@JacobE-23]

Smooth intro to the sponsor 😂😂

[@DeeCee1150]

A simply brilliant and comprehensive description of just what a triangle is🤣😂🤣

[@SzeptyTechniki]

Hang it on fishing line it will ring even longer and also - wind chimes made of damascus plates? Just annoying idea for you - crazy one :P

[@laptop_plays2658]

As both a percussionist and a knife person, this is really cool to watch.

[@davidt8438]

Hey Will, I don’t know if you actually read these comments but on the outside chance you do…..did you learn any practical information from your visit with Adan Booth since he lives and breathes lathe work? If so what? Thanks

[@will_c294]

first video watcher of your channel. Your transition into the squarespace add is what got me. Funny stuff, making things for other people just because, nice guy - keep it coming!!

[@MightyG100]

3:18 pleeeeeease put a guard on that grinder……..amount of damage they can do if the disc breaks Is TERRIFYING

[@MrJBA79]

Can you emulate the purple Damascus from Call of Duty MW-2019 and if so, could you forge a meter and a half rod of it to then fabricate a replica Kar98 sniper rifle out of it?

[@Drefar]

Create two Damascus round bars with tapered ends, featuring various-sized holes. Interlock these round bars with an aluminum round bar in the center. To produce sound, place a wooden stool with a leather cushion on the aluminum round bar. Then, strike the aluminum round bar with a wooden round stock.

[@inukinukshuk5956]

Love the Maritime Knife Supply hoodie!!

[@shimshimmash1179]

watching this really makes me wish I had learned a real skill instead of going to uni, if I had I would be able to create such beauty, rather than being just another cog in a corporate machine. Love the channel Will! thanks for letting me live vicariously through you

[@johnoconnor4941]

Great job on this angle of three Will, but I so get the giggles when you spoke proper England like what you does on occasionally. It shows your daft but no idiot and you can ave a larf. Keep it up kidda...

[@nooneyouknowhere6148]

"Because science" best explanation ever!! Ps. Lathe problems, call Adam Booth

[@martyh9309]

Your triangle rings at note D7 or D#7... About 2430 hertz and has a very rich spectrum!

[@jgreen2572]

I was looking up a triangle like you made but shaped like a hexagon. Couldn't find a thing, I didn't search for long so Im sure someone at some point made one? But that would be a neat instrument to make. It seems you get three notes with the triangle, the hexagon should give one 6 notes. I have no idea where you would put the opening, probably near the same area you would on a triangle. Either way that would be fun little project.

[@jamielee9350]

Just an afterthought... What happens if they all mistake it for a "Fire Bell" , and get the fcuk out of there ??? 🚒🚒🚒🤣🤣🤣

[@KnightsWithoutATable]

Will, we all know how easy it is to move bronze, even Al bronze. Even your own video showed us how soft it gets when cherry red. Stop pulling our leg here and wasting our time. We can see you move it with the tongs and can look up videos of it being worked like soft cheese. Still, you did get a nice coil without crushing it while using power tools.

[@Shareezy]

Hey look it's the one thing I too have made with a forge! Minus the actually hard pattern steel, I just used mild tool steel :) and needed help with my bends because I was too weak

[@avasolaris1]

Keep working without earmuffs bro and later in life you will not be hearing much ringing except perhaps from Tinnitus.

[@Razor1rot]

Hey man! I just now realized you had your own channel! I must have missed the video that was said. I'm glad I found you though!

[@StuartSmithHandForgedKNives]

lots of technical terms in this one.

[@douglasyoung927]

Why are we saying Ferric Chloride is not an acid. Anything with PH under 7 is acidic and Ferric Chloride has a PH of 2.0

[@guillermoestremera4718]

Just forge welging, not a single real damascus on sight, nice job on that piece, forge welding is an amazing technique

[@Crispy-McFister]

Will, never a hater, but did you just try to make the most expensive version of 3 nails welded together?

[@the_hero7801]

15:51 is what you're looking for the rest os jist him building, making and explaining it.

[@troywalker8078]

Coffee etch?

[@fadiachkar1076]

That imitation of Alec Steel was On Point and so unexpected i had to pause the video to recover😂😂😂😂

[@sobertillnoon]

A 16 sided polygon is just called a 16-gon. I'm not messing around.

[@Swamplemur]

Lets make Damascus! Because it's the only pattern / steel now! Wooo! /scarasm

[@SoaringMoon]

The word you are looking for is hexadecagon.

[@JETWTF]

I prefer the more subtle contrast over the high contrast.

[@u.s.a1749]

Hey man if you put Damascus in super super strong hot coffee for a while it should darken the pattern

[@JCSalomon]

I’d have assumed that heat treating (and leaving a fairly hard temper) would be necessary for good sound.

[@UncleManuel]

I'm pretty sure she will like this amazing dry angle! 😁😁🤘🤘

[@lordyoseph53]

You should try to make tools. Like a Damascus hammer and tongs for use in your videos

[@Joe___R]

In the future, if you can harden some damascus steel, use some cold blue after you etch it. That will only darken the high carbon steel, giving you great contrast.

[@oliverer3]

I thought the belt grinder was going to start playing popcorn there for a moment xD

[@saltypepesugar]

So Why Is This Damascus Triangle So Loud?

[@jv9715]

That triangle is really good and all, but I think it needs more cowbell

[@michaelmain1990]

For future reference you should have only done half the bar at a time on the lathe, nvm looked like you did

[@andrew63345]

Should have made a knife blank for the ringing stick!

[@SpeedMechanic]

starting to think will breaks his shit on purpose just to film fixing it xD

[@kenglass1980]

Your segways into sponsors is something if legend! Would love for you to make a compilation of them all someday!!!!!
