    JP, I have made some twisted cable damascus back in the day. One of the things we always struggled with was the heavy amount of grease that is packed inside the wire rope. There is usually some kind of fiberous/cloth material in the interior that is packed with grease as well. I think it is designed to wick up the grease as it heats up. As a consequence we always had trouble with voids. If you have an ultrasonic cleaner, maybe a bath of Simple Green and 30 minutes getting the hell vibrated out of it before you give it the spa treatment in the acetone.
    Anyways, you may not have trouble with the voids and inclusions, but if you ever do, try looking into that.
    Also, I wanted to say, the final product looks sweet.

    • @JPsBladeworks
      @JPsBladeworks  11 місяців тому

      Thank you for the advice. Ive had tons of trouble almost every time ive tried doing cable. Thats why i always end up putting it in a can vs heating and welding the fibers like others do. I think it also has to do with the size of my cable. Its small. Ive seen others using way bigger cable. Regardless im glad it came out cool looking in the end.

  • @aaronpaulus3492
    @aaronpaulus3492 10 місяців тому

    Just found your videos, and I'm the 7+ years I've been watching knife making videos and Forged In Fire, I've never seen anyone do the end press for can damascus steel, which makes perfect sense to me. Is that something you thought up, I'd bet your knives are better than anything they've had on that show. The last time I did any blacksmithing was over 10 years ago, but I've learned something great from you. Keep up your great work. 👍

    • @JPsBladeworks
      @JPsBladeworks  10 місяців тому

      Its hard to do. I have a very low success rate because its easy to pinch the can. If i pinch it the billet gets trapped inside and i still have to cut it out. But the white spay paint makes all the difference in removing the billet from the can.

      No because the core steel is whats keeping the main integrity of the knife. The copper also brazes the steels together creating a strong bond. Much stronger than the force you will exert on a cooking knife.

    You should use a drill to help move the powder more into the canister. But do not drill inside

    I’ve played around with copper a few times. It always ended up on the cutting edge. 🤷🏻🤦🏻. Turned into keychains. Ha ha.
