Awesome tutorial! Can i ask wich kind of torch did you use?

I remember when you posted this video, and UA-cam magically brought it back in my feed. Testing an already broken blade because it's what he saw his dad doing... Great example!

How long do you keep it in the jaws before taking it out and tempering it?

Nice work.

Well Josh life sure has changed for you over the last few years since putting this video out. Super stoked for you and all your success and hopefully 2024 is your biggest year yet. I really enjoy seeing these old videos of tips and tricks.

"Basic " .... I came away from this video with the basics. Basically I need $10,000 worth of machinery plus 3 or 4 years experience in blacksmithing . to make Damascus . OK.... It,s a place to start I suppose.

Damascus steel actually isn't all that strong. The true purpose of damascus is a form of art and creativity, where the metallurgy of it only includes standard carbon steel. In comparison to other low alloy steels tool steels and high alloy steels, the ratings of hardness, toughness, and corrosion resistance of Damascus steel are low.

Interesting. Looks like a cool stiletto

Josh, great video - keep up the quality work! I’d love to see a dedicated video on that rolling mill with some close-up pictures of the motor transmission/gearbox in some rough sizes !

Just found your channel! Thank you for mentioning some of my heroes so many younger guys don’t know about. Great video!

Good work Josh. I wonder if you could drop the annoying loud music. I don't care for the scratchy music so I mute the video but then you come along and start talking. I enjoy metal working and you are doing some cool stuff but I don't understand why it is so important for you to blast my ears with loud music. If I wanted to listen to music I would just tune in to a radio station. Thanks for the rolling mill demonstration.

It's a shame that those rolling mills/twisting machines aren't being made anymore. I want one. That thing is friggin' awesome!

This a great and clear instruction for people who want to make Damascus, without all the smoke and mirrors and showmanship. Thanks man , this really helped me along.

Nice vid! Where can you get a new rolling mill nowadays?

This is just brilliant. I haven't been making knives for all too long but even i managed to straighten two bananas within minutes. Thank you so much

need more of these!

Thank You Sir for sharing your knowledge and Honoring Tim!

awesome! I'd love to see some more details about the roller mill. I'm hoping to build one similar

Awesome work and thanks for sharing. So glad I found y'all on Instagram!

I tried this on a warped 2 mm 1084 filleting knife. The blade warped in quenching and had been tempered so was very springy. This method worked with MAP gas (equivalent) torch - took it slow, kept sanding to keep eye on the colors. Trial, without error. Brilliant. Thanks for the lesson.

Hey all. Looking to purchase a rolling mill for my San mai and damascus. Can anyone make some recommendations? I'm new to them and haven't had any luck finding anything yet. Thanks!

Great tip on getting the center not to tear

Good video this is gold thanks .

Love the book got it at Travis hammer in.

Love your work Sir! To what grit do you sand and polish Damascus before etching? Is it higher polish for higher layer counts?

Now that's lit

great video what psi do you run your forge at when forge welding damascus ? im new to this but love knife making and forging im hooked i cant wait to make a forge press this coming year its alot of work forging a damascus billit by hand with just a hammer

I recently purchased a rolling mill from a guy in Apache Oklahoma. It has been a game changer. Love it

Any reason you went with a structured abrasive belt as opposed to a typical abrasive belt? More uniform finish maybe?

I’m gunna have to try leaving the mill scale on with the next billet- that would be awesome if I could skip grinding all that steel before welding

Ive been a knife maker for around 5 years now, bonds creek knives, and I think its worth saying a lot of us younger makers see you as a legend as you saw Tim. Funny how the world works. Thank you for the lesson. I’m about start my first frame tang and I was a little lost on how to do the domed pins.

Insane!

So cool to watch you work & see dad's big green monster power hammer behind you. Glad you got it up and running! You're a stud dude!

Had a bad bow in a chef knife and I couldn’t get it out after quench or with over clamping during the two temper cycles... also tried the vice-3 pin approach for days...nothing... watched this video and tried it... Amazing... just a spot of heat near the spine and a bit of pulling, straight as an arrow!! Thanks for sharing !! Life saver!! Looking forward to next July’s hammer in !!

Great video and insight! All your videos are awesome!

Great video. Now I need a rolling mill....lol

Would be super cool if you did a more independent video about the rolling mill, it would a really cool project to make my own!

Would love to see you build the folder with your piece of Damascus.

Great video!!

That's awesome 👍 love the videos keep them coming

Great to see you posting back on UA-cam!

Plzz make more videos 😁😁
