Tim, I really love watching you make your Damascus projects here. I really had my doubts about that huge chain there. But you sure did pull it off just the same. Well done sir!!!
Ok, i am not a smith nor do i claim to have any idea how you do your magic. However, it is great to watch your videos. You keep it interesting even for a nobody like me.
You're really talented mister!!!!!
Holy hell, you weren’t kidding about that chain! Biggest Ive ever seen!
Thanks for watching.
Most ambitious chain Damascus ever! Impressed you got it to weld at all! Brilliant video thanks Tim! Anthony Kent ps do you still want some Yorkshire tea 😀
Hi Anthony, Thanks and yes please, And thanks for watching.
BIG DOG FORGE I'll sort some tomorrow for you no idea how long it will take to post from UK to USA. Should not be to long. Thank you for your time and effort with the video I really appreciate it 😀😀
Love it you got right on it, failed a bit adapted to the cracks and still managed to show us a billet " Bravo Tim" !!!
Thank you Stephen.
Like you Tim, I think making tools is one of my favorite things to do. Your power hammer and press are awesome! Booyah....
It's amazing! It was a chain monster and now it's a magnificent damascus, thanks Tim for sharing 👍
Thanks Lufe.
It’s always fun watching you and Floyd take big iron and making something cool
I would love to watch him forge damacus from such things. Hope to see you make more
Looks like a mountain range in there, good end result. Thanks Tim.
Nice... Thanks for your time and sharing you skills and knowledge with me.... I appreciate it...
Pretty cool billet. I would have figured all that steel would weld. Still came out with a home run. 👍🙏😎
Beautiful Damascus ,Tim! Love watching you work brother!
Really appreciate your explanations. Looking to make a Damascus knife from an old motorcycle chain and will check out the other video you mention as well.
Maybe you can try Forge welding each link down to a bar then Forge welding those bars together that chain is so big it might help ease the process
That is an awesome idea I will give it a try on the next go-round.
Come out looking good!! Great job doing it as well!!!
thanks man
I love watching your videos!! Big fan of Damascus, even more of a fan to see the how it’s made type videos!!
Nice. I tried to forge weld some forklift chain and was having similar issues. I haven't tried again because my coal forge doesn't seem to get large billets hot enough. I am told my fire pot isn't deep enough. When I finish my 2 burner forge may be Ill try again. Thank you for the video.
S/V Sugar Magnolia just build a bigger fire my friend. I do all my damascus in a coke forge. And can heat 100mmx75mmx50mm quite easily.check my scrapmascus video you can see.

Phillip Taylor thanks!
Thanks for watching.
As Red Green would say "any tool can be the right tool".
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls
I swear the pattern on the first side you showed looked like a chef’s knife etched into the steel.
Agreed! Use what we have and keep the spend low😎
I agree about reusing used equipment. You pay too much of a premium to get "new" equipment. Most home use of equipment is so light it can be 20+ years old and still be fit for purpose.
another quality video Tim. that came out really interesting regardless of all the issues you experienced in the process.
thanks and thanks for watching
Holy cow! "Monster chain" is right. In the video when you first opened the package, I didn't realize how big that thing is!
The pattern is interesting. Might look really good as a twist pattern as well. It's not like you don't have enough to experiment with assorted patterns, if you want.
I like the twist idea thanks. and thanks for tuning in.
I learned allot, thanks for being there.
good job sticking with it, looks pretty darn cool.
Looks pretty cool I like the pattern
Thanks Doug.
Nicely done, I really like the pattern. Can't wait to see what you make from it.
Wow turned out looking very well. Sorry about the tank :)
Its all good man and thanks. And by the way I loved the axe video it came out really well, keep up the good work man.
that's a pretty cool looking pattern, good sir
Thank you very much.
Im awful proud of you making your own tools. Poor people have poor ways, common men have common sense.
Wow. Amazingly small anvil and dwarf
we love you guy, go on and we will be watching and learning from you, thanks
Still the Master!
Thank you Larry. and thanks for tuning my friend.
Wow looks awesome
It's really a beautiful piece!
👍👍 keep on hammering!
The pattern looks like the moon with mountains from far away. Great video man from Queens NY. Thanks
Thanks for watching Ruben, And thank you.
I to enjoy building the machines just as much as I do smithing,look out for my power hammer here soon
It is done and works pretty well but I want to go heavier
Sounds very cool James looking forward too it. and thanks for tuning in.
I have found my new favorite UA-cam channel, thank you for all the great info you put into them. I dont know if this has been mentioned before, but you have to be careful when cleaning metal with brake clean with chlorine it can cause a lot of health issues if it vaporizes. Not sure if that's only when arc welding or if it's just heating in general.
It looks like a mountain seem. Nice
What I thought was funny was the way the chain made everything look small lol.. That is some serious chain I'd love to get a link or two just to mess with.. Great job even if it didn't hold together. At least you learned for the next go. Martin
Thanks for watching Martin.
Tim it was truly my pleasure..
awesome. You make Damascus look so easy. Damn you🤣lol
Thanks man
I think the pattern is nice on this I like the bolder patterns. Great job as always Tim 🖒
Thanks Liam.
Seeing you weld with no gloves on gives me flash burns just watching it
Way ta go Tim, that bar looks awesome. !!!!!! I've got to try a chain billet myself. !!!! I believe that I've got a good source for band saw material. We will see what happens......
Good job. Thanks
Oh wow.... more pattern than I expected.
Curious what twisting it would reveal.
Really cool! Love it!
Holy Shit that's a BIG ASS! CHAIN!
Awesome!
Cracking as ever tim. I have a big length of this left to play with too. Ive also found it dosnt appreciate being squished vertically. So i tend to reweld it again to purify it a bit
Where is that size chain used? That thing is huge! Haha!
In my case driving huge extraction screws in an ore plant
Thanks man, and thanks for watching.
Interesting. I've never seen a roller chain that big.
Great job sir.
I love the pattern!!! :-D
Thanks and thanks for watching.
This is life at its best just keep going ... nice job
Thanks Todd, and thanks for watching.
Looks great Tim, great job, as always!!
So that's where all the transformers went
I use one of those miter chop saws too and it works great, it was free
after so many dramas it came out looking pretty damn good! That line on the second side you showed looks like an elevation profile on a hiking map :)
Thanks
Good gravy that was a big chunk of steel! How much did the final billet weigh?
Starting weight was around 12 lbs and the billet I ended up with was just over 3 lbs. but I still have about 7 lbs of roller nuggets leftover.
Subscribed and liked. Wanna see you make something out of that huge chain!
Thank you very much SoupFork. And I'll see what I can do.
Ever thought taking the chain apart, forge the sides, pins, and rollers separately, then combine?
Neat to see you do this and it turn out looking so awesome. Thanks.
I really like the way you present and explain the process of your forging damascus. I like the end result also. Great ideas. But I read an article in an American Iron magazine cautioning against using Brake Cleaner of any kind and then heating the metal you cleaned. Whether by welding, forging, cutting, grinding, etc. because the intense heating creates a poison gas that when inhaled has a similar effect as some nerve gases have. I don't know by experience, (and don't want to), but I figure better safe than sorry. I hope you might change to some kind of non toxic type of method of pre cleaning your steel as nerve damage may impair forging abities somewhat. But don't want anyone to suffer damage from dangerous materials. Keep up the good forging. JAD
Nice. Can't wait to see what you finally come up with. 😊
only problem with wood design chop saw is the abrasive and filings get into motor, brushes. block those supply clean air circulation and no problem. or just use till it quits
Put something in the bottom of the tank to take the hit if you drop something. Glue a piece of mudflap or....
I think it's safe to say you turned that situation into some fine lemonade 😉. Nice to see that good and solid billet at the end, and with some interesting patterning going on as well. I have to ask though, where did you get that huge magnet with the two handles for flattening on the grinder? Looks like it's pretty comfortable to use, at least compared to my little Harbor Freight welding magnet with an eyebolt for a handle lol. This was fun to watch as always, thanks for sharing and take care brother. :)
Found the magnet at a garage sale $2.00 I think I am going to start building ans selling them, I really like this one.
"Ferric Chloride", Station #3. You are a NoGo at this station Ranger! LOL It's a well used station & maybe new is needed anyway. Carry-On Where do the "thumbs down" come from? What's not to like here?
Great video Tim it's a shame that it didn't work out completely but at least you managed to salvage some of it thank Simon
Thanks for watching Big Man.
Amazing stuff just came across your page totally amazing
That chain is huge Tim! Lol about how much did it weigh??
15 LBS
Awesome video bud! The back of the billet, kinda looked like the heart beat on an ekg lol! Very impressive!
Hi Phillip how is it going? Ive been trying to contact you but email is not getting to you for some reason.
hope to here from you soon. I'll keep trying....
BIG DOG FORGE that's weird. Will patreon private messages work for you? Ill check my email again and if it's not showing up, I'll send a new email
Thank you sir.
Good Lord, I'd love to see the motorcycle that came off of!
Hi big dog, your work is very beautiful, fardin from Iran
I love your channel.. I want to learn to do this in the future.
nice
holly shit...that s a chain
.
Indeed. thanks for watching.
New subscriber, this is the 1st video I've watched looking forward to seeing more.
Wouldn't adding more flux help with the forging process?
Almost looks like accidental artwork comes from etching like you have mountain paintings on the bar of steel
Could you wrap smaller chain around the pins of the larger chain, somewhat weave the smaller chain through the larger one?
And how would one even begin forging such a thing anyway?
that was pretty funny that you put the scene about being proud of all the stuff you built and then right after that you broke the etching tank which I assume you built lol
I say you should weld a good piece of Steel to the bottom like Billet you just made and fill it all up with powdered Steel then make a Damascus like that
Would fluxing it and twisting it after first heat help with the wielding process?
Hello Bigdoggydog :) thanks for this video!
What about grease residues between metal sheets? Can grease drive to a metal integrity alteration? weakness point or something like that?
How do you get rid of grease?
Thank you :) (Sorry for my bad english, i'm frenchie)
looks kool mate
Twist that and it'll be amazing
Awesome vid, as usual, Tim. Are you just using a dual Reil burner aspirated forge? You seem to be reaching some nice temps with it!
Great vid!
Thank you.
love your work man keep it up
Thank you and thanks for watching.
The second side looks like a desert mountain range
What if you took that metal and laser etched a design into it then folded the etching??? Would that picture or design now be a part of the edge could you see it? Just wondering but I love the channel thanks for the content.
👍🏿👍🏿👏👏👏
Woo Hoo!
Thanks Christopher.
Nice billet! Got any idea of what to do with it next?
Question Sir... Would that be too big to do in a canister?
I'm thinking that would help it all weld together
Cummins head bolt as a hammer
Like to see the size of the bike that chain went on..🚴
