Great build, I really appreciate the technical details you include

You should have added small ball bearings to those voids, that would have been a crazy looking pattern but you have some cool ideas with those patterns

Nice job! Can't wait to see it become a blade

First time I have seen your beard! I'm jealous! It's the best ever

So I go around recommending all kinds of crazy ideas. One has been involving nuts and bolts. Shurap, one of the guys I watch, did a pattern of nuts and bolts but his orientation was short bolts in nuts side by side horizontally. My thinking was longer bolts, say six inches, all thread with nuts of different grades thread onto the bolt. I'm thinking a large bolt, at least one inch, but also a canister job with smaller bolts, but many of them. The question is, will it weld fast enough to avoid a void between the nut and blot as it is flattened? Or twisting. Wish I had found this stuff earlier in life as it isn't too late and actually have a couple knives I had been working on, one inherited project my dad was working on, but not welded Damascus, but I'm running out of runway, so to speak, but with a million ideas on how to create patterns.. Latest, canister with different sizes and grades of cable, mixed with nuts and bolts and round and square rod, all mixed in a canister with some powder. Also, after watching how Shurap arranged them, what about a nut with a ball bearing in the center, flat and horizontal, powder and then another level/row.? This one, this pattern you just did makes me wonder if you could create letters and then mix and match to spell things? Who wouldn't want a knife with their name forged into it?

I love the experimentation process! Cool results man!

I’ve seen other videos on canister Damascus and a few that used powdered steel drilled a small hole in the end of the canister. They said that it was there to allow any gasses and other impurities that may form in the can an escape so they don’t end up in the final pattern. I’m not a blacksmith so I’m not sure if that’s needed but it may account for the water that was definitely visible when you were cutting the billet on the chop-saw. Also try drawing out the billet (after removing the can) to 1/2 size the pattern may be smaller but you could try a number of different techniques with the same amount of material.

You're very impressive to observe. My computer skills are no match for your knowledge.

bet some chopsticks might be useful for moving that foil back into shape. you'd have a point, flat end and a edge to push it into corners and the length to maneuver deeper into the can.

anyone ever suggested making damascus steel 'something' from all of the used canister parts? :D you could forge weld some thin pieces together back to back, then it will be thick enough to cut into cubes, have a cube based damascus steel knife

use a difus filter for the camera for the welding parts

I like the idea but it might have a cooler designs if you put little ball Berings in the gaps before you put in the powdered steel

Really think using steel ball bearings may have gave you a better look, good job.

Man I can't stop looking at that beard. You would make a Neanderthal jealous! Thanks for the awesome videos

I have a question I see you used the white out as a barrier between the canister and the steel. Why not used a harden-able steel canister so you don’t have to remove it after the initial forging. It might add an extra mosaic layer. I do not forge but it’s something I’ve always wanted to ask when watching forged in fire.

That pattern is very close to the forget-me-not flower pattern. My wife is a pro chef and her favorite flower happens to be the forget-me-not. I'd pay serious $ for a chef knife set if you could figure it out.

Random late question, why not use a canoe canister? You'd be able to dictate the pattern a lot easier. It would have allowed you to set each piece of the core pattern without fear of I getting too distorted when you do your welding passes.

Band saw

what brand of spoon do you use?

have you tried putting the empty canister in the forge to develope scale inside it so the billet doesnt stick.

You should try making a canister out of plaster or cement , and then you wouldn't need to worry about paint or foil . Like a FZ knives does all his in wootz steel builds .

That can came out really clean and easy, unlike a certain TV show . Had seen the white outbefore , but not the foil. Good pattern and a great idea! Perhaps make the pattern a bit smaller (say, half a knife wide) so you can repeat in a 4x2 pattern perhaps? Whenever you get a pattern you like, I can see it usefull to make a longer pipe and stock for 2-3 knives :)

Try putting that whiteout on thinner. Several coats. It's not engineered to go on that thick, so when it dries the surface tension breaks it apart when it shrinks. Why can't a guy just use a few coats of white spray bomb? If all you want is a layer of titanium dioxide inside there, why not a spray bomb?

Instead of "correction fluid" why not use "good quality" white paint, the white pigment is Titanium Dioxide (in cheap / poorer quality paints it can be Zinc Oxide). Going to be a bit hit or miss which type of paint to use as some have more plastics than others to bind the finally dried paint but it will bond to the inside wall of your can far better. Just a thought.
