  • @terrywaters5022
    @terrywaters5022 7 місяців тому

    Very nice work, just a side note, there is no moisture in your metal, H2O or moisture is a by-product of combustion as well as CO2, with the water vapor condensing on the relatively cooler metal. Once the metal heats up the moisture no longer condenses. A good indicator of temperature none the less. Nice tutorial, thanks for sharing.

  • @tallat8888
    @tallat8888 Рік тому

    I wonder if cleaning every surface of the cutoffs with 80or 120 grit before heating would allow better results. Also flux everything very well. I like your idea it is very unique.

  • @garygenerous8982
    @garygenerous8982 Рік тому

    I would suggest adding flux to the cutoffs when you have them in the furnace, not just the pour. I’m thinking you may be getting some oxidation from the temperature and that is blocking the braising process in some spots.

  • @NathanNostaw
    @NathanNostaw Рік тому

    When adding the brass, you are effectively brazing. When brazing you need flux. Another possible but time-consuming way to ensure full surface adhesion would be to coat each metal chunk with a thin braze first. Rather than trying to vibrate bubbles out on the anvil, you could keep the pot in the forge and vibrate the handle with a recip-saw, jigsaw or orbital sander.

    Funny. I've made some damascus by hand (which btw is a pain in the ass and very time consuming if you dont have a press) so figured this would be simple to do with softer materials but had absolutely no success and ended up wasting $10 worth of quarters. had them nice and clean, wrapped them with wire exactly like in video then proceeded to throw in forget. once I had everything up to temp I started hammering quarters and looked like they were nice and welded. tossed back in forge to get back up to temp and 1st hammer blow to them after 2nd heat cycle the quarters all blew apart. tried it twice and both time quarters just blew apart. idk wtf happened but gonna try again and if same thing happens I'm done trying to make the shit because I'm not gonna keep wasting money away that can be spent on other things.
