for those that are wondering why its always specifically white out, or white paint, its because the pigment metal is titanium oxide. aka, wont weld to iron based products under any circumstances EVER hehe.

Right on. I prefer pray paint because of ease if application. Whiteout is a pain in the ass.

@robohippy 3 месяца назад

Wood ID is always fun, but frustrating.... My first thought for purplish colored woods is purple heart. This piece has a more open grain/pores appearance than purple heart does. Not sure about bloodwood, never had any of it that I know of. Another 'purple' wood is bubinga, some times said like Boo, and some times said like bubba.... I wouldn't think that it is that. How hard is it? There are many mahoganies out there, and many that are sold as mahogany but are not. Maybe take the knife to your friend and he may be able to tell you.... Nice piece. In another life line, I would have been a blacksmith....

@JPsBladeworks 3 месяца назад

Im pretty sure its not purple heart. Ive worked with purple heart quite a bit and this has more of a reddish hue to it than a purple heart. I dont know enough woods to know of the top of my head either. I sometimes ask when i buy if not labeled but he forgets too since these pieces are random from left overs he has or blanks for other stuff.

Yea i was just going to cut a chunk out until my brother told me to punch it. I think it worked out well.

@TheRedWon 3 месяца назад

Nice shape, like a tall santoku. Bet it would be great for cutting big potatoes and stuff like that. I like that you left the top with a rougher forged finish, that's not something I've seen on damascus knives that I can remember.

@JPsBladeworks 3 месяца назад

some forge to finish makers do that and i feel it looks so cool. like peeling back the top layer of the fruit and seeing the flesh inside of it. it gives a cool effect.

@vcarriere 3 месяца назад

Hi, I have a real question. When I do electro plating, I have to wear gloves because the oils of the skin affect the finish. Is it the same when dealing with cannister Damascus or is it just not important enough for forge welding?

@JPsBladeworks 3 месяца назад

I dont understand the question. If you mean when i set up the canister fir forge elding then no it doesnt matter as long as the materials are relatively clean.

@lexikdark3392 2 месяца назад

Get a Diamond tip drill m8. just remember to add a LOT of water. should grind its way through the Steel fairly easily.

@JPsBladeworks 2 месяца назад

I want to buy some carbide drill bits in case this happens again

@joshschneider9766 3 месяца назад

i might just have to send you a crapload of various chain segments and tell you to party on. ive always thought chain damascus was extremely fascinating in its pattern possibilities. in glass we have color AND transparency to make patterns. damascus is quite challenging in that its almost always two tones of gray.

@JPsBladeworks 3 месяца назад

Its challenging but these lots you can do such as mosaics which look cool. Im working on one right now that i hope will come out cool.

@mishkaulitkin9476 3 месяца назад

For steels like chain get yourself carbide drill bits (will go through any steel and armor). Yes, it is costly but very effective!

@JPsBladeworks 3 месяца назад

I would have gone that route but the local store that sells them was close already that day.

@brysonalden5414 3 месяца назад

Your mystery wood resembles the bloodwood I've gotten from similar sources, but hard to say based on a video. Lots of furniture makers use bloodwood, and it makes beautiful scales.

@modsbyus 3 месяца назад

In case you don't know by now, you can drill hard steel with good quality masonary bits. The tips are carbide.

@joshschneider9766 3 месяца назад

its very snake scale looking. that particular chain has tons of different pattern potential. do you know what its actually off of? i wonder if i can score some. i got a couple of lawn mower and small engine repair shops around me. and motorcycle shops. i bet theres craploads of different chains to be had.

@JPsBladeworks 3 месяца назад

@DONJUILIO 3 месяца назад

That would be a very good gift...Not perfect but better than anything in the knife block...

@JPsBladeworks 3 месяца назад

That is for sure. Just using the right quality steel for the cutting edge makes a world of difference from anything you buy in a cheaper knife set.

@uriahanderson1625 3 месяца назад

I noticed that when you poured acetone onto the chain, the acetone remained clean and clear... the only way that makes sense is is either your chain was already perfectly clean, or the acetone failed to do any cleaning. There are many types of oil that acetone will not dissolve. Try using break parts cleaner instead.

@JPsBladeworks 3 месяца назад

The acteone changed color but it took a while to do so.

This one came out much better. I thought for sure when you couldn't get those holes drilled it's was going to become a hidden tang. I agree with not selling things that aren't representative of what I want my legacy to be. Although I probably woukd have kept that cleaver anyways because the pattern was so unique. Kinda looks like serpents on 1 side and trolls holding hands on the other lol. Anyways cool video,cool knife and thanks for putting it out there.

Input pins in there and epoxy. Once the epoxy dryes, it should hold the pins in the right spot and fill in the holes. Ir at least thats what i think. Ill find out through using it over time.

How long does it generally take you to get the core to release from the canister once you start?
