    I love when people see a project like this and say "well if I had those tools I could do that too". Then you take them to the shop and hand them a bar of steel and the first thing they do is ask how to start the forge. I just shrug my shoulders and say..."well now you have the tools". They can not fathom the art, skill and experience that goes into a beautiful creation like this.

    • @Locahaskatexu
      @Locahaskatexu Před rokem +5

      Yes, pretty much literally this... These are often the same people that want the premium of the premium in tools, but when it comes down to it, they haven't a clue how to use them. To my great disappointment I never got into metalwork or forging, and I would love to get into it, but I simply don't have the space to set up a workshop at the moment. But the point is, it's not the tool that makes the result, it's the craftsman, and whatever tool he can use to create it that matters, I'd say. :)

    An interesting build. I don't often see a canister damascus used, most often its the traditional pattern or ladder pattern more rarely. And the way the blade came out was fantastic, good work!

    I've never been THAT into forging or smithing or idk what you even actually call it. But this is the second video I've watched by you and I gotta say - they are extremely calming to watch. Almost to a level of being ASMR or whatever that weird like, audiophile noise porn is lol. The lack of dialog is actually a welcome feature. I just sat back, enjoyed taking in all the various sounds and how they would make me feel/what they would make me think of and had a great frickin time watching your vid. Good on ya, buddy.

    • @JosephEllis-ep7sg
      @JosephEllis-ep7sg Před měsícem

      In its simplest terms a harder core means a finer more durable edge. And the outside pattern looks pretty lol. So you don't have to make the choice between pretty or usable.

    • @omniXenderman
      @omniXenderman Před 13 dny

      Damascus in addition to being pretty can actually get sharper than uniform steel, the layers have slightly different hardnesses and when you sharpen them up it creates microscopic serrations on your edge that boost its cutting ability

  • @jonnypeterson3971

    I’m honestly amazed at your genius. From editing choices, to feeling of the video, TO GOING AS FAR IN THE STRAIGHTENING PROCESS AS YOU DID. Sir I hope one day to learn from someone like you in smithing I can’t afford or even dream to afford a smithing set up but I can still strive. I’m glad there’s still masters at it as much as you are. I know you probably won’t read this but sincerely on every level i acknowledge your genius on EVERY level. Thank you for sharing. New sub today.
