Real question: Is there a "max" twist you can get? IE: if you twist too much you lose definition of the pattern? BS Question: Did Chubby Checker approve of you doing the twist? There's a whole song about it.

I am wondering why you ground only the sides of your three bars; when you welded them together the twist looked like two parallel lines running down the billet meeting each other.

@TyrellKnifeworks

Жыл бұрын

@@brysonalden5414 Actually all sides of twisted bars were ground, but thats generally not necessary. You're going to forge them anyway. I was contemplating tig welding the seams so I ground them clean but then just ended up tacking them at the ends. All is well though, they forged together well.

@@isaacbenrubi9613 I'm sure you can twist TOO much. I would say that more than about 4 or 5 twists per inch and you're starting to get into that territory of too much. As for Chubby Checker, I'm sure he watched my videos and approves. 😜

so turning them 180 degrees over will have them looking twisted the same way anyway, that's cool what if you hot cut and fold them instead? still same way twist?

Hey Denis -- great instructional video as usual. Learning a lot from this series and am actually in process of making my first sword and first Turkish twist. The blade will be about 32" long with three twisted bars in the middle and a bar of 80CRV2 above and below the twists for the edges. I went with the 5/8" bar as described in this video but am a little nervous about forge welding 5 high by ~20" long. Any advice on this? I planned on a few tack welds along the length since I will be grinding a good bit into the finished billet to expose the pattern. Any thoughts? Thank you Sir!

@TyrellKnifeworks

Жыл бұрын

The hardest part is going to forge weld something that large. If you can’t hear the whole thing at once you’re going to build scale at the places you aren’t forging at that heat and it will be difficult. I would weld ALL the seams to prevent that. Tig weld them if you can, not just tack them. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

I have a stupid question. Why knives? Twisting together 4,5 or 6 bands of damaskus historically has been used for forging GUN BARRELS. Sometimes polygonal gun barrels. And at least two hundred years before Whitworth. P.S. This was rhetorical question.

What do you do about that borax on your dies I’ve noticed that stuff gets pressed so deep into your billet it looks like it bonds with the steel? And it’s super hard to get off dies. Any suggestions?

@TyrellKnifeworks

Жыл бұрын

Once you start pressing hot steel that doesn't have borax, it tends to just burn off. If it doesn't, throw a bit of water on it before you start pressing and that will usually pop it off.
