It’s a great machine and certainly the workhorse in my shop. There will be a new Damascus build up tomorrow morning, come check it out! Thanks for watching!

What would happen if you twisted a billet, squared it up, then twisted it in the other direction? Like untwisting it a bit? Also, can you twist a billet, cut it in fourths stack in a cube with L, R, L, R pattern, forget weld and then twist that?

@TyrellKnifeworks

3 жыл бұрын

Interesting idea to do a twist-square-untwist. You’d get some kind of ripple pattern I suspect. Also, you can’t twist a single long bar in one direction and slice it up into 4. You need an opposing twist. (Try it on paper, you’ll see what I mean). Doing a twist on a twist will probably muddle the pattern. There are other ways to combine a twist to make it look cool. Stay tuned, there’ll be one coming up in a few builds. 👍

So, a question: Where the forge weld failed. Suppose you drilled/ground/filed a slot down the center of the knife where that was. Make it an eighth or quarter of an inch wide, and say it's to reduce the friction as the knife slices through something. It would prevent stress cracks from propagating, and become a feature rather than a bug. What do you think? Oh, and that pattern was spectacular!

@TyrellKnifeworks

Жыл бұрын

Ha, yeah possibly but not what I was going for. I’m going to be doing a Turkish twist again as part of my Damascus Pattern series soon! Thanks for watching.

I think I just got an idea that you might be interested in trying, sir. Wouldn't it be useful to have a wire brush set maybe 2 inches down and a few inches behind the hydraulic press in a jig that holds it in place where you can brush the slag off while getting less on the press? I don't even know if that's a thing but I haven't moved up to bigger equipment, so I haven't looked into it yet. Most like to just use the press itself or pull the work out to brush it by hand but it seems like it might bee a good thing to try, at least.

@TyrellKnifeworks

9 ай бұрын

I’ve seen guys do this. Instead of a brush, sometimes it better to have a “blade” to scrap off the scale before pressing. That’s why you see me use the edge of the dies on occasion. Thanks for watching.

When it goes into the forge, the kerosene immediately burns off and also burns off any oxygen that might be between the layers. The theory is that you have a better zero oxygen environment for your forge weld that way. 👍
