Damascus steel from anti-aircraft gun spring.

Ғылым және технология

The blade is made from a spring from a 23-mm twin anti-aircraft gun that defends Kyiv.
Thank you all for your support in the comments. I'm still relatively safe as well. Today is the 375th day of the war.

On my patreon page, I began to explain the processes and secrets of my work. Topics already covered:
1. Why do I add pepper to container Damascus steel.
2. What do I sprinkle? Flux and its composition.
3. How do I remove the container from the workpiece (container Damascus steel).
4. Why am I drilling a hole in a container.
5. Why do I sweep away the dross from the anvil with my hand.
6. Why do I first forge some blanks on a tree.
7. In what and why do I soak the blank before forging.
8. In which granules do I place the workpiece after forging.
9. What kind of white powder do I pour into the container.
10. In what liquid do I develop the pattern on the blade.

    So happy to see a new video up this morning. A relatively simple build, no cutting or restacking or complex patterns, just tender loving care in setting your welds and a lovely edge quench. I do not have the resources to set up a forge where I live so I experience vicariously through the work you and other talented smiths who share their work here on KZread. I love how you take weapons of war and turn them into art and I am glad you are staying safe and well.
