I love your videos and I would love to see you take some wrought iron, or iron dust and some old chrome-vandium wrenches and makes some crucible steel from it, it would probably make some nice wootz steel I'm currently trying to get my own business started blacksmithing and bladesmithing but don't have the equipment yet to experiment on that level. LoL.
I've watched dozens if not over a hundred videos on smelting and smithing, and I can honestly say I can't think of another video where they made their own crucible in the beginning, even a disposable one. A+
He did use steel that someone else had already dug up and refined. Not impressed. Even the hammer he used to smash the crucible seemed like it was bought instead of forged.
Im a bit of a collector, over the years ive heard people moan about the cost of hand forged knives, there is a damned good reason for the cost. What annoys me is people charging hand forged prices for knives that are ground from bar stock, yes it may be hand made but not hand forged. I could watch your videos all day. Impeccable work sir 🤙👍
@@gmane2743 This is ignorance at its finest folks. That would be like saying a carpenter can only build and charge for a quality deck if he cuts down the trees himself and only constructs it using one method. No. The end result, the material and the craftsmanship is what determines the value. You DO realize "stock removal" is part of the process regardless of whether the initial shape is roughly forged or ground out of a rectangle bar purchased from a steel supplier right? Again the end result: the many hours of fine craftsmanship and the material choices will determine its price and what defines a bladesmith.
Man you know it's made out of strong material when the machines even take a while to flatten it out. And the sparks shown during sanding means high carbon content so that blade is going to last faaaaaar longer than the drill bits did. Amazing work!!!
I learned something from this! If you accidentally mix in a HSS drill and your ingot is hard to forge, it gets easier and grows in size as you go! I also learned you don't have to use dissimilar metal layers for Damascus or fold it many times. I love the Seax, it's the best all-around blade shape for everything but skinning.
That is a beautiful piece of work. I never knew wootz got a pattern like that, I always assumed that because it is melted in a crucible that the steel was uniform. +1 for the amazing fit and finish.
The pattern comes from the fact that the metal is completely liquified and allowed to slowly cool. This causes alloying elements to become concentrated in certain regions, which tend to react to form carbides and other intermetallic compounds. These carbides are less soluble in the high temperature iron, so they are not redissolved during the forging process. This means that after forging the pattern the steel solidified in is (more or less)visible after etching.
When making crucible steel, like forge welding, it's typical to set the welds with a hand hammer before going to power tools. If the steel puck hasn't entirely consolidated in the crucible, going straight to the hydraulic press or power hammer will just blow it apart. So, a few heat and beat cycles with a hand hammer helps to ensure the puck stays together under the extreme pressure of the power tools.
If you haven't already, I'd love to see you use your grinder dust / flakes in a wootz puck. Crucible steel has that "it should work" feeling that knowing the metallurgy is fun to watch.

@@fz-makingknives3663 You are very welcome. Thank you for a fantastic video. I sure would love to be the proud owner of this knife. Be safe and have a wonderful weekend.
Wowww. That's a piece of art! The steel looks so strong. Keep doing it! There are not many smith's left in the whole world. My father is one of them, but somehow I don't share his pleasure in working with the iron, on the other hand I know all about iron because I saw it since I was little. :)) Sorry, for sharing my story :)
Seriously? There are people who have watched an Artisan create this thing of great beauty, from a handful of simple elements; and they gave it a thumbs down? WTAF is wrong with these people? Fantastic work my friend, keep doing your do! 🗡️ 😉👌
I realized I had an addiction to watching your vids because about @ the part when your hiting the hot metal I guess I was holding my phone so close to my face as well as I'm home alone zoned out lol and I kinda flinched like an peace of shard came off your hammer and hit my face , LMAO just totally lost it after that happend 🤣🤣
WOW I've made some knifes but this guy is on a different level the way he worked that little ball of steel that he made was masterful plus the handle was very impressive overall finish was excellent and it cut too. PS I think I would have put a decrative pin through the hidden tang. Undoubtedly a most excellent knife maker⚔️
What is this beauty .. a wonderful masterpiece. You are always creative and master your work beautifully and perfection. How I wish I had such a beautiful masterpiece, in which I admired your touch by placing a part of a deer horn. How wonderful. Wow 👍🏻
A wonderful and skilfully made piece, which I'd be proud to own ! However, I'd imagine that the average Viking would never own a seax as outstanding as this !
@@yewwtooob Yeah! If I'm not mistaken, there is a paper showing that you can get the wootz steel effect from adding small amounts of vanadium, molybdenum or chromium and thermocycling the metal in the correct temperature band.
Well done, from the intro I thought you were just going to make canister damascus but you really did make Wootz steel by melting your bits into an ingot. I've been studying Pendray and Verhoeven for a few years now and really enjoy seeing your take on how to make a blade from cradle to grave using those techniques.
I could literally watch you doing this all day ...... Wait no thats not right... I have literally watched you doing this all day .......... 15 vids in lol 👍

has nothing to do with a canister.. to make Wootz you need to take the metal to liquid.. not just welding temp like patterned steel. Watch the video of Alfred Pendray.. he figured out the lost art of damscus .. very interesting story.
Very nice work! Btw saxes originally derived from an east german tribe that later pulled north and mixed with the angles, so they became anglo-saxons and the knives were spread throughout the north. Saxonia and lower saxonia are still regions in east and northern Germany.
Great work! I was surprised how nice a Wootz pattern you achieved using drill bits as opposed to traditional iron ore with secret trace elements. Nevertheless, that’s a lot of hard work and beautiful skill you have. A knife the owner will be very proud of.
Measurements: 5-1/4" high x 4-3/4" in diameter (exterior dimensions); 4-3/4" deep x 3-3/4" in diameter (interior dimensions) for a 4 kg cucible ingredients would be clay and graphite with a ratio of 4:2 but if you want it to last long then graphite would be more in quantity after that when season yiur crucible. Use borax
@@fz-makingknives3663 Persian word Fulad came from INDIA word "Faulad" Means steel, also Wootz steel was invented in Southern India, sold to Arab Traders via Silk Route & later by sea route
Just discovered your channel recently, I really like your work. You are an inspiration. I do forging myself, and you have made me want to dabble in crucible steel myself. Is there a recipe to your crucible mix?
So, I see there is no reply to this after a year. The video shows an unmarked coffee mug which means it is done in parts and not units of measurements using the same container for each "part". Ingredients seem to be sand, plaster of Paris, and graphite powder- if not charcoal powder since it looks homemade. 9 parts sand, 4 parts plaster of Paris, and around 3 parts charcoal/graphite. They didn't seem concerned with exact measurements as this is a one time crucible that will be smashed later, and while they may be comfortable with showing you how to do it its probably another thing if they outright said it and you ended up hurting yourself. The issue I see with this process is that they haven't outright said or shown what is being used in the video or description, so the guesswork on my part is not verbatim what they have going on here- so I do not recommend you do this until you have looked into what ingredients are typically in a crucible.
Amazing craftsmanship. Equal parts skill and commitment to your art, with incredible results. Well done. I’m curious about the etchings, being a Viking blade I suppose would be runes. To they have a special meaning or are purely decorative? Also, I commend you not only for all the work put into the making of the knife but the quality of the video you give us all.

These carbides are less soluble in the high temperature iron, so they are not redissolved during the forging process. This means that after forging the pattern the steel solidified in is (more or less)visible after etching.
Love how you go from hammer and anvil to.."this shit is hard! I'm using a press"
When making crucible steel, like forge welding, it's typical to set the welds with a hand hammer before going to power tools. If the steel puck hasn't entirely consolidated in the crucible, going straight to the hydraulic press or power hammer will just blow it apart. So, a few heat and beat cycles with a hand hammer helps to ensure the puck stays together under the extreme pressure of the power tools.
The texture of the grain of that steel really is something to behold. Very cool.
Thanks 👍

What are the 3 ingredients he used GoodEnough??
@@broot7425 are you referring to the chemistry of the charge or of the crucible/vessel?
Well both like the ratio for the crucible ingredients and then the melt mixture but I assume it's graphite and glass for the melt.
А что тут скажешь, Браво!
Спасибо.

Might be close to what Wootz Steel was but the secret of Wootz Steel has been kiat for over 200 hundred years. Still, it's a very nice knife! Good job
