    A suggestion for getting the flux off....soak the welding rods in a bucket of water for a few hours. Take them out of the water and let them dry. The flux will slide right off. My helper has became an expert at this. Considering all the rain we have had...lol

I’ve been a huge fan of your work for a while now and would consider it a great privilege to be able to use some of your Damascus to make a knife and then a custom sheath for it. And then maybe you and I could do some sort of giveaway with it once completed. Think about it and I would love to hear from you and make a go of it. Keep up the great work my friend....
