Props to you for staying positive after all the setbacks. Edit: now that I've seen it, I love the pattern you came up with. Might be something to further develop.
700/1000 inch = approx 18mm 3/4 inch = approx 19mm and 5/8 inch = approx 16mm. Whole numbers are the worst to figure out. 😂 Love the pattern you are making.
WOW, it has been a journey watching you over the years grow to being such a very skilled & knowledgeable craftsman maker.. You are beyond a knife maker.. You can do machining, designing, repairing old tools & a good teacher to boot and barely in your 20's.. WOW. Your future will be amazing.. By what I see you are not far from being a master.. My skills are with wood, I am a retired Master Carpenter of over 50 years.. Thank you so much for sharing.. GOD has truly blessed you my friend...
Your skills at such a young age are respectable. Your ability to take failures, learn and re-energize is also respectable. I predict a bright future for you.
Never be afraid to leap out of the way when dropping red hot steel! Adding voice to it, whatever sort, just means others in the vicinity have more of a chance to vacate the danger zone as well.

I assume you're joking Will, but there are 25.4mm in an inch. The metric system makes way more sense than our English/Imperial system. I'm an engineering student and I have to convert between systems all the time. The English system can't die fast enough. I am American and I hate our measurement system.
Multiples of 10 are so much easier to work with than the 12s of imperial. That said I'm of an age where I use metric for very small and imperial for larger stuff!
I wonder how much "fun" the Imperial system would be if it didn't have fractions but decimals. Imagine trying to adjust something 0.0394 of an inch... or around 1 mm.
As a fellow engineer I couldn’t agree more. In the field of mechanical engineering we convert all the time, it would be much easier and more accurate to just use the SI system!
@@Tinmouser In a precision situation, we do use decimal inches. I've made parts with 5 ten thousandths of an inch total tolerance. 0.0005 in. we also use micro inches to measure surface finish. 0.000032 is common. common fractions get their decimal equivalents memorized.
This looks amazing! I love that you showed the ones that didn’t work out first, so often we’re presented with perfection right off the bat and then set unrealistic and unreasonable expectations for ourselves and others. Seeing you put in all that hard work and then saying “you know, it’s not working, let’s start over,” is such an important lesson!
Beautiful final result on your Damascus pattern. Also wanted to say I appreciate you sharing your entire process and not just the final result. It's an vital part of any creative process to try new things, learn from the failures and incorporate them into your next iteration of design. Great to see someone pulling back the curtain a bit and it makes seeing the final outcome all the more satisfying.
I had a thought while you were showing the drawing of the Damascus. Another cool way of showing it would be to demonstrate it with some play-do or kids toy putty.
You should do a long in depth video, you’re so talented and I’d love to hear more details on your mindset and ideas with projects and how they get to the finished product from an idea came up with over a cup of coffee.
Wow! just wow...After the other setbacks, this is a great consolation build. Very nice! I would love to see that dragonteeth in the future, but am very excited to see how this one turns out
Wow that perfect smoke circle at 1:30!
The 15N20 strips between the twists were an absolutely brilliant (and beautiful) touch. Really made the most of the serpentine pattern!

The first hit with the Beaudry made a smoke ring that hammer is freaking awesome
Sir, I just have to say, I appreciate the blackboard. It's refreshing to see your not ashamed of your faith. Keep up the good work fella.
Your skills at such a young age are respectable. Your ability to take failures, learn and re-energize is also respectable. I predict a bright future for you.
That pattern looks great!! Glad it all stuck together nicely! Im excited to see what you pull off Will. Keep up the great work renaissance man
I got in a complete game of solitaire during the ad. Winning.
It's amazing how you know beforehand what the pattern will look like.
It looks so cool man. I can't wait to see how it turns out. Also, hearing your mini panic at 6:36 was great.

@@Zoso14892 Have to keep all our imaginary friends safe! Not just any actual people that may have wandered in.
That pattern is beyond words!

Nice to see how your brain works when it comes to visualizing the patterns. Good job.
Awesome build mate 👍🇦🇺
Part 1. Love it! Now on to part 2.
Thank you for thanking the patrons thanking you with their money
This looks amazing!

That blade is looking great.
this would of been part 9 in alec steele channel lol
More like 19
Truth! 🔥🤣🔥
Stopped watching him after his sword building series, too exhausting to hear him speak.
Wonderful work and project I enjoyed it very much
Awesome pattern
Looking great can't wait to see it finished
That turned out really nice, the 15N20 lines go perfectly to the tip profile.

Very nice pattern. Good job Will
"It's sweeter than the black coffee I'm used to" lol don't ever change Will
Very cool pattern keep pushing forward with what you do. You work looks amazing.
Looks amazing!
Always glad to see uploads here
Cool project Will. Almost as cool as the mixed nut trick shots project.
That first hit blew a smoke ring and it was awesome.
"Hi I'm Will and welcome to the demascus bar channel!". Jk, the process is always fascinating! Keep up the awesome work Will!
Looking good can't wait to see the finished product!

That's a great pattern, thanks for sharing
Will. That is one Sweet pattern on the Bowie Knife. Please Try making the Next Knife with Stainless Steel Hose Clamps.
Amazing billet and forging. You get better with each project.
Just an awesome forge!!
This blade is going to be beautiful. Love the pattern so much. Great choice.
The mulitbar construction with the 15N20 really stands out
Well made video... the knife too
Love the vids. Please include more detailed video of the different processes please?
You should do a long in depth video, you’re so talented and I’d love to hear more details on your mindset and ideas with projects and how they get to the finished product from an idea came up with over a cup of coffee.
love that technique of the cutouts and then straightening it out. Great vid Will
Absolutely awesome! You just keep upping you game. Amazing!
Shouted out in my best Charleton Heston voice "AG1 is PEOPLE!!!!"
That would win a Forged In Fire for sure!
Absolutely amazing. Congratulations on an awesome start to what I'm sure will be a gorgeous knife.
Beautiful blade, awesome workmanship. 👍
Will, you're a boss. Great looking Bowie knife!
The positive feed back here is amazing and definitely well deserved!
That turned out a lot more intriguing than I expected with the almost natural flow of the lines. Can't wait to see how it turns out!
Looks beautiful Will and a masterful job making it also!!
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Will, your brain works in mysterious ways. Super creative. Awesome blade!
That's awesome Will clever man 👨
Boy that’s good to look so good Will!👍
Great shots of flux melting
That is just gorgeous!
I knew as soon as I saw that smoke ring blow out around @1:30 from the first couple of blows from the power hammer it was going to be a great billet!
Awesome work! When you’re done with this you should try making wolverine claws, that would be super cool
Outstanding!
Wow! just wow...After the other setbacks, this is a great consolation build. Very nice! I would love to see that dragonteeth in the future, but am very excited to see how this one turns out
That Michael Scott quote had me wracking my brain for a bit to remember he said that.
That is an amazing peace of work Will well done
Great video Will. Thank you. 👍😁
looking great!
Amazing work both in the workshop and at the camera/computer. Thank you for sharing!
Looks good Will.
WOW that's a beautiful knife. I love the lines. Incredible work, EXCELLENT JOB !!!
Dang this one looks amazing
I am always amazed by your creativity. You really make some fantastic stuff. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us. Much appreciated.
Awesome little video, I think it hides how difficult this would be in real life!
This should be part 2 and the other video is part 1... nice looking knife

That turned out awesome will , peace n Gby
Totally with you on the metric system.
Wow, looks good
Great content thanks for sharing
Always test etch before shaping.
Looks good.
You definitely turned a shishka set back into chocolate cake. Wicked cool pattern! Keep Orange Crushing it!
Nice work 👍🏻
Satisfying watching that beast of a hammer throw a smoke ring at 1 min 30 sec. Just great
That didn't turn out like I thought it would- pretty cool pattern, though. Good job!
Absolutely loved the style of this video, great improvement young Will!
Keep on keeping on brother Will, your channel is awesome 👌
Thats amazing!
Love it!!
you need some sound deadening panels in the shop. cheap at the home center to get drop ceiling panels.
Yet Another Bowie Knife
This knife gets so old.
Gorgeous pattern! I still hope to see those "teeth" from the previous pattern some day. 😊 Good stuff, Will!
Really nice vid Will
