- My first try at making mosaic damscus. Very tricky stuff! Congrats to all the makers that make this kind of work look easy. I definitely learned a lot on this one. If you want a more detailed look at this kind of process I suggest you watch the recent damascus playlist by @TyrellKnifeworks it's great!

I think I prefer the reality to the expectation. That was a gorgeous Damascus. Thank you for sharing both your knowledge and learning.
That limit switch looks like it came in really handy getting a nice even thickness and can go so much quicker. No more messing around with blocks and setting them up each time.
The pattern is very clean and uniform. So I think you did a good job.
I agree. I've seen much less interesting damascus patterns used in knives.
Clearly the reality exceeded the expectation! You can’t ask for anything better.
I think it came out great! They never go exactly as expected. To stop the twisting on the first C's, I use a square die on the top of my press and flat die on the bottom to square it. Then it doesn't twist on you.
That was a lot of work, wow! To me the result (reality) is better than expectation! Variations and “imperfections” deepen the beauty of the piece. If you finish the blade please post the final result, I’d love to see it. Great work
Thanks!! I will for sure :) Cheers!
it looks Amazing Aniway. Stay Awesome man!
Nice job.
It might not be "exactly" what you wanted, but it looks really good...
I agree. Deviations in the pattern are inevitable, but BBP's works are always such a joy to watch and behold.
Good Lord, I love that beautiful pattern. You really went overboard with the number of layers. Excellent video and truly appreciate your hard work putting out your videos as you do. Thank you and have a Blessed and wonderful New Year.
Awesome build. Im wanting to get into mosaic builds now as well now that i have a bandsaw to do the tile cuts.
Fantastico lavoro! Aspettative o no, la tua tenacia e pazienza sono sbalorditive 💪🏼 spero di vedere più dei tuoi progetti questo 2023 🎉🔥🍾🔨
Ottimo risultato per celebrare l'inizio dell'Anno nuovo. Auguri!!!
Dure, what a fantastic result for first try of making mosaic. It's not something you should expect to get prefect symmerty straight away, Its very difficult. You did awesome and your mosaic damascus looks great!
That is super neat and inspiring.
come on man, you did an excellent job. I've been watching your videos and you've come so far! please make this into a big bread knife or something, it's beautiful.
Thank you so much! I'll use this for sure.
Happy New Year! Incredible work, as usual. Thanks so much for all your excellent content. Please keep it coming!
Thank you my friend! Happy new year :)
Looks great!
Gorgeous work, my friend! It was very interesting to see the expectation vs reality at each stage. I'd love to see that more with future damascus projects!
I love how the reality was slightly askew each time; if anything that made it better in my eyes.
Amazing, really good job.
WOW! That was stunning, to me it looked like you created an Oak Leaf pattern. Absolutely beautiful result.
Great work👍
An insightful experiment. Thanks!
That pattern is amazing ! I'm thinking more and more about trying mosaic damascus.....
Wow, beautiful mate. I like it ! Great. Mosaic damascus is one of the hardest damascus types in my opinion. Great Work!
Well done!
Natural flow 👍🏼 amazing work!!
Gorgeous!
Fantastic master!
The video was excellent as well. 👍👍
I really enjoy watching your videos
Idk, to me in my eyes, Any Damascus Pattern looks Amazing!
There is Not a single thing wrong with it, I would buy it 👍
I think it looks great. It takes a lot to see a project all the way through, especially one with that many steps. Good job man. I am trying to learn to make knives and your pattern and technique is impressive to watch.
Wonderful design 👍 you doing awesome. Cheers
So nice job👌
Nice looking work Sir 👏
Outstanding pattern will make a beautiful knife thank you for sharing this six stars brother
Just fantastic! Be fun to see under a strong microscope! Your work is brilliant regardless of outcome, in my eyes!
This is why every blacksmith or sword maker is depicted as an old person in movies and video games. It takes a lifetime to perfect these skills...
That's a fantastic first effort. Happy New Year!
So it didn't turn out exactly add expected. I think it still turned out stunning. Not even taking in to account that your just beginning the journey of mosaic Damascus! Keep up the great work and thanks for taking us along!
thx for the edit on the welding part ^^
Absolutely astonishing, you should make more knives/swords with this kind of or similar patterns. Really inspiring to watch
I would love to see it finished.
Looks outstanding, when you lose so much material in between steps really like it...
That was amazing
To me, the whole point of doing patterned steel are the random elements that emerge. Perhaps another bladesmith might fault the end product as not being uniform enough, or complying with their vision of what mosaic should look like, but this is a delightful pattern and who cares whether it measures up to someone's idea of perfection? I'm sure it would sell quickly and the customer would be delighted.
A true craftsman is someone who has failed more often than others have tried. I will never be on your level, not even on your worst days. Don't forget that under all this tedium and all these mistakes, there's something buried that's special and unique and will more than likely outlive you.
Great work sir wow nice thanks for sharing video sir.
Very nice work !! Nice and uniform very consistent patterns it looks AMAZING !! I really enjoy your work !!👍👍
That turned out great 👍 👌 👏
If this is your first try you should be proud man... that's beatiful! Please keep going
Спасибо за невероятный труд, буду ждать продолжения!).
I love the graphics, like TK does. Great video!! And.....that is beautiful Damascus!
For the resources you have you are doing some cool stuff man
I can't help but watch. It's so mesmerizing to me.
It may not be what you wanted, but the pattern looked good. Having the star burst makes it look unique.
Gotta start somewhere! Better than 95% of the population could have done so that is a high A! Lol. I love that you shower the reality compared to expectation bc so many talented blacksmiths make it looks so easy. You are very talented and had problems with it. I love the truth in your process.
Fantástico excelente trabajo saludos desde Argentina
Killer brother hope to see another video soon of u finishing it up
Wow even though the final result wasn't the expecation, that still turned out amazing.
it may not look like the expectation. but it still looks pretty dang cool to me
Really interesting experiment!
@blackbeardprojects is this message from you or is it spam?
Amazing
Sometimes imperfections are perfect! Looks sweet! That’d make a nice kitchen/fillet knife!
Even your “mess ups” are beautiful hahah awesome man thanks for the video
Beautiful 👍
Men, I love your content. And by the way the pattern looks awesome :)
Thank you!!! Appreciated ❤️
The pattern is cool! It looks like it's stitched together! If I made a knife with that pattern, I would call it Frankenstein
Looks amazing and very unique great job 😎
That is still a really cool patern!
thank you
awesome 👏
Maybe not gone entirely according to plan, but the end result still looks pretty cool. Thanks for sharing!
Nice!
Very nice
Фантастическая красота!!!
Cool!
Luar biasa...butuh waktu dan pemikiran yang jenius untuk membuat pola damaskus seperti itu.
Pretty damn good my man...
Reality Damascus looking trippy!
Muito bom ! Parabéns.
Very cool man.. I always want to do this kind of thing.. You are very creative.. How do you visualize what the next pattern is going to be? (I know that you are an expert at this).. Thank you for all the work you do to make these videos. I know how hard it is as I am also trying to start a channel on this platform.. Peace to you and have a great year. Rolfie
Борода постарался на славу))) отличный видос👍
So instead of making one sort of geometric pattern, you made a unique and stunning pattern. If you’re throwing it away, I’ll get in line to take it off your hands. 😁
For reals. I would gladly take it, lols..
Fantastic¡¡
Very nice. Would the vertical lines every inch or so be a weak point?
It's beautifull pattern...
Very cool demonstration of how real life and fine details (the devil is in the details) always make huge canges from the expected theory.
Wonderful video!
One thing I appreciate about you and your channel is that you show your mistakes; I've enjoyed watching you make multiple attempts at casting, and while there may have been mistakes there, I wouldn't say there were any here. You did beautiful work and especially for your first attempt!
Thank you so much 😊
Honestly I think stuff looks better when it isn't perfectly uniform. It shows the true craftmanship and hand making process. Anyway, I think it's gorgeous. Feel free to go ahead and make it into a knife and donate it to me if you don't like it. lol
One day I want to do a metallography on a damascus blade. It would be awesome!
Bravissimo
You have a warped and distorted reality!
9:49 What would happen if you put your stainless steel foil right below all the sections you are welding up against that plate? Would that plate fall away as you ground the welds off?
10:49 I bet you could boost your sales to the North if you could get that shape just a little bit closer to a maple leaf.
Can you make defferent types of pattern making video
How to do a tempering .when it's still hot or should wait to cool it off..or mild hot surface?
the "reality" is very unique so it's art on itself
0:52 Bro just used the essence of the Dark Sabre to weld there....amazing, 😉
Very nicely done sir. If there was something different you would do next time …….what would you do? The pattern came out nice. Happy New Year I look forward to more of your projects.
Question; when all that scale is flaking off while you're using the ress, is it taking micro bits of the metal with it, like some kind of oxide or something?
Bu bir dünya rekoru olabilir, damascus için son nokta :)
Perhaps you did not meet your expectations, however I think the result is very nice. One thing i Truly believe is that you learn best from your mistakes and make it better the next time but I really would be happy to have a knife with that pattern I do think it’s great!
