    I primarily stick with what works but it's great to experiment so hopefully one of these days I get to meet you and give you a bunch of carbon steel cable to pass on or do with as wished then there's a few more different kinds of metals that you might really be interested in some of them got a lot of nickel in there towards non-ferrous anymore if they're real hard to work with

    @msblades5382 Před 6 lety

    As always Tim your ambition to try anything to see what sort of pattern you get . This is something I really like to do here at my shop. The exciting thing is when you put it in the etch and pull it out to see what got birthed from the experiment.. Martin

    your tongs with the hands are hands above all the rest. even if they don't hold the best you can cup them and use on round stock if you make them for sale i know the will sell love your vid. be well and be safe

    • @he-mansuncle7661
      @he-mansuncle7661 Před 6 lety

      cockatoobirdman bill I was thinking the same thing! Those would be sold out in no time! I think even non-blacksmiths would enjoy them as a piece of art!

    • @CockatoobirdmanBill
      @CockatoobirdmanBill Před 6 lety

      You bet just think about using to turn hot dogs on the grill and you are right they are art, and you can tell your friends that you can put your hands in the fire and not get burned lol!

  • @timjackson5555
    @timjackson5555 Před 6 lety

    it makes sense that the HSS bits nearly shatter when you break one & those auger bits just try to rip your arm off
    nice demonstration there proving that theory of non compliance in workability
    but, I have recently been working with some HSS structural steel that is special order and need to try some blade testing with it

  • @brandon7210
    @brandon7210 Před 5 lety

    i need those hand tongs haha

  • @he-mansuncle7661
    @he-mansuncle7661 Před 6 lety

    Never knew you had 4 hands!!! The tongs are hilarious and functional!
    The new piece of damascus turned out great! It'll make a really cool hammer!
    I am going to be "trying" to make the mokume gane and I thought that I bought copper shim stock, but just the canister was copper.
    The roll inside the canister is silver shim stock! I know that you are using the silver solder and this will be perfect for your bandsaw blades, it's 3/4" wide and.002 thick I believe.
    I'm not going to be using that much of it as it's a high % of silver and I don't know if I'll even be able to make the mokume lol...
    Take Care bud and email me when you get some time

    It was funny enough when you made the handy tongs, but this was next level funny stuff. Damascus came out cool, I think it deserves better than to be a hammer.

  • @josephkeichline838
    @josephkeichline838 Před 4 lety +3

    Wow, really late to the party! I got super excited when I realized that you were making a billet for a hammer.
    A couple of thoughts about the high speed steel:
    1. I know many high alloy steels like high speed steels have to be kept at high heat for long periods of time during heat treatment. This is because of the exotic elements need more time to form carbides and such. With that logic you might need to let high speed steels sit for longer at higher heats if you decide to try something like that again.
    2. It could also be that the steels were too dissimilar to each other. Think forge welding stainless with more simple steels. At the very least the expansion rates would create difficulties.
    3. Next would be who made the steel. I remember in the early 2000’s people were trying to put cheap tools from places like China or India into their pattern welding but it would fail. Could be many reasons but the quality of steels could be a problem for some materials you put in your billets.
    Hope this helps!

    Still in the process of chopping that stuff up it takes forever and so hard to cut with the factory grease in it

  • @fszabo
    @fszabo Před 5 lety

    Regular everyday drills are normally M2 or some other nasty stuff - heat treating temp for M2 is 2250 degrees - that's its 'critical' temp. The wood augers, at best, were 4340 or something similar and will forge weld at about 1800 deg.
    Not surprised they wouldn't weld but it would have looked cool if it worked.

    Not the high speed steels fault...The coatings on drill bits can be a plethora of things and they won't let the steels inside fuse together.
