..Just call it Big Dog Heart damascus. I truly Enjoy your experiments!! You are becoming the Dr. Frankenstein of mashing and melding metal together! I'll bet Floyd could use some vacation time. Hope you are healing up fine my Friend...!!
Just a thought, I did a series of canister sanmai Damascus billets using motorcycle chain and 1095. The second batch came out great, but I learned that I needed to put that little “this side up” weld mark on the handle and not the canister to make sure I could keep track. Your stuff is beautiful by the way!!
Tim, it's looking very interesting. Ca't wait to see the next part, my friend. Have a great remainder of the week.(And yes, this is a style of mosaic Damascus.)
Very interesting. I've learned a lot, going tomorrow to get my kaowool, to start my forge build. Thanks for turning me onto "Trust me I'm a blacksmith" channel. Hadn't seen him before, love his style, and he's also a great instructor. Hope you are feeling better every day. Have a blessed day
Great work Tim! Loving this. Still working on my dirt box forge and making periodic videos of the process. I have been slacking since the last one (dirt box number 5), finally decided to burn out after five years of use.
Wish you had done two different methods with the weld, especially in you experimentation phase! Really enjoy your content and watching your work! Good stuff!!!
Whoa, came across this channel randomly and you remind me a lot of one of my favorite teachers in high school (metals shop), makes me want to start welding and machining again. Great videos with lots of attention to detail, you've got yourself another sub.
I think it looks much better with the elongated hearts. The "Ferry Flip" was actually coined I believe by ABS mastersmith Tom Ferry, who was probably the first to do this type of mosaic weld. Great stuff Tim, I miss chattin with ya brother. :)
Love your work i was wondering if you could do a fantasy blade series were you make impractical blades from games and movies either way looking forward to the next video
fondyin it isn't true mosaic, I don't think, because the pattern on each section will not be identical. The bearings were dispersed randomly in the powdered metal so each cross section will have the same heart but a different pattern otherwise. Though, I couldn't really see the ball bearings stand out in the etch. It's likely there were none of them in the very top of the canister.
Lou L, the reason it is a mosaic is because the hearts are a repeating pattern even if the rest is not. Also another form of mosaic Damascus is if he were to have used his skull Damascus with the heart. Think of mosaic like laying tiles on a floor. Not all have to be the same. They just have to be stuck together. Let's say you took a ladder pattern cut it into sections and welded those sections to a twisted Damascus then you would still have mosaic Damascus. Just a few examples.
After the fairy flip to get a mosaic pattern he should have welded each seem entirely eliminating the need for a flux since the air wouldn't be present to cause oxidation on the surfaces.
How do they turn steel into powder? I could see turning steel into tiny shards or filings, but I can't even imagine how they would turn it into actual powder.
hi tim just wondering could you send me the end in the mail i would love to have a piece of damascus to show people that ask and i havent got any tools to make damascus as yet

looking forward to the Floyd rebuild! you have given that dude a lot of work with all this pattern welding stuff.

Thank You so much and thanks for watching.
Looking good. See your feeling better. Thanks for sharing with us.

I cant wait for the next video!
Hey Tim, I call it way cool man !! What ever it may be, take the ball and run with it !!!! Hope it turns out !!!!

Very cool.
you should tryout for forged in fire show you would be a sure winner,your very talented smith.thank you for the lessons and the sow you give us
Tim, Hats off to ya.. Great job friend keep em coming and hammer on budddddd.
Whoa, came across this channel randomly and you remind me a lot of one of my favorite teachers in high school (metals shop), makes me want to start welding and machining again. Great videos with lots of attention to detail, you've got yourself another sub.
Nice to see your vids thanks
Very cool Tim - love to watch your work and many thanks for sharing your uber expertise!! Booyah!
Wow it is amazing how those presses and power hammers make short work. Great video thanks.
Cool project!
Hi Tim, FYI. Cutting the billet on an angle like that is called cutting on the bias.
So awesome, great job.
Keep it up, this was cool
Yay!!! Another BDF video! Hope you're feeling better Tim! I sent you another email with another Damascus idea that hasn't been done on TH-cam before!
Very nice!!
Looking great!!! Can't wait to see the Floyd video. I hope ur able to show details in the dye mounting.

If you have a vibrator type sander, not a oscillating just use it on the side of your can to work the powder down. Vibrations will shake it all down
I'm a little covetous of that heart Damascus as my forge is "Ironheart Forge". Good job
Love your work i was wondering if you could do a fantasy blade series were you make impractical blades from games and movies either way looking forward to the next video
Sir, I believe that you get to name this.
It is call mosaic Damascus. Great job.
Thanks i was curious too. I hope he reads this

Yep it is one way to get mosaic. I like to use the accordion method.

fondyin well explained and thought out. I know it is rare on the internet but I like your explanation and you've convinced me!

damn those cliffhanger endings.
Its definitely mosaic damascus. Ferry-flip welding
alec steele has done a very similar welding project to this he made a sword but he TIG welded the slices together tho
Took you a bit uncle tim! :P
Крууто!!!
Ferry flip is because of Tom Ferry MS knife maker. The angled cut places the inner pattern to the face as you have done.
Tim, I believe that it would be called a scarfed mosaic Heart Damascus pattern.
How do they turn steel into powder? I could see turning steel into tiny shards or filings, but I can't even imagine how they would turn it into actual powder.
Well i call it the big dog forge method!!
It's Mosaic Patterned Damascus.
looking good mate ,would love to be able to do the same to ANY degree :)
BTW we look similar
im just a n00b in welding but be careful man the uv rays can chew up your skin m8!
Where do you get your powdered steel?
Nice , now we have to wait :{ You are taking lessons from the TV shows aren't you LOL
I love you more and more. ^^. I wish I could meet you.
Where did you get all the stuff you use? Like the power hammer and the forge? and how much did it all cost?
He built pretty much all of it.
nice video! just letting you know that there is a typo in the video title though it says 'harts' instead of 'hearts'
Scarf joint.
The first video in which I saw the fairy flip the pattern actually resembled a fairy.
Mosaic
do you make knifes for the public
Have you ever caught your beard on fire?
Yes, it not something I suggest doing.
hi tim just wondering could you send me the end in the mail i would love to have a piece of damascus to show people that ask and i havent got any tools to make damascus as yet
