We'll be forging beautiful nickel copper damascus! This is called Mokume Gane and is a decorative damascus for fittings and jewelry. We're going to make this out of US coins, specifically quarters!

    What should I make with this mokume gane? Have you attempted this yourself? If so, what's your process if its different than mine.

    Why not use copper sheets and zinc, instead of defacing U.S. currency? The Dumbocrats are already stating that we're having a coin shortage, which I'm calling bullshit on because their mouths are moving, but, I don't believe in destroy American currency. Cool project, I just know that you can do this with copper sheets and zinc or nickel is all.

    I'd like to see someone try a san mai with the mokume gane cladding. Make the blade core to shape. Forge clad the mokume gane and then grind it out. Full tang. Make the handle scales from twisted mokume gane.

    It glows because the copper is really good at conducting heat. Since the welded piece is small it will heat up really quick trying to get as hot as the welding arc and cood down as the ambient temperature and surface area fights back trying to cool down the piece.

    Thanks for the video man! Its falls under the elongated coin act for sure! But id make sure you put either a solid copper backing or silver for the pendant! Any prolongated skin exposure to nickel can cause a nickel allergy and irratation!

    One problem with using nickel in mokume gone is that nickel dust is a very strong carcinogen. So you gotta be obsessively careful with your respirator when sanding and filing the final product.
