- A Portrait of a Craftsman. A behind-the-scenes look at the process, life, and creative process of renowned Blacksmith Robert Eggerling, maker of the most exquisite Mosaic Damascus steel.
Mosaic Damascus steel is a type of Damascus steel that is characterized by a pattern of small, geometric shapes, often arranged in a mosaic-like pattern. The pattern is created by using different types of steel with contrasting colors or patterns, which are then layered and forged together. The resulting steel has a unique, decorative pattern that is highly prized by knife and tool makers, as well as by collectors. The process of making Mosaic Damascus steel is more complex than traditional Damascus steel, and it requires a high level of skill and expertise to produce.
#Damascus Steel - ตลก
I've sold knife steel to over 30,000 makers from the USA to Australia. Robert was my 1st customer. I met him at the NY Knife Show over 20 years ago. Not only has he shown me how to make Damascus, he has shown me how to live a simpler life. He is a true friend and a true Artist. God bless you Robert for all the time we've spent together and all the patients you've shown teaching me your very special craft. God has blessed me with your friendship.
Hello Aldo, we have both been blessed to know this great man. I met Robert years ago while walking Blade Show. I came across his table where Robert and Mary were displaying pieces of his work, and it literally stopped me in my tracks and took my breath away. I knew I was in the presence of a true artist. I spent the next two days at his table!
This connection with you two through this man is incredibly special and inspiring to see in real time. Thank you both for sharing your stories.
Thank all for your comments. I run Robert's Website as he doesn't do computers (Boy would that make life more simple). Anyway, I pass all the comments on to Robert so he knows you all care so much.
Amazing. Simply wonderful
Top Notch! Robert's work has inspired me since I was a boy! Glad to call him a friend!
What an amazing man. Holy Cow, Robert's work is over the top!!!!!!
A magical piece of Black Smith history!
A National treasure
My father was a blacksmith by trade. I remember him pounding the glowing iron on the anvil for hours. This film brought back great memories of his shop, the smell and and the dim lighting. Although your pistols are out of my price range I will make it a priority to eventually own one of these pieces of art. Thank you for this beautiful portrait of a beautiful human being. God bless!
I am amazed when I look at the Cabot guns. I now see why the Damascus guns are priced so expensive. You all found a gem in that artist; he is a humble and decent man.🙏🏾
Just finished it! The film work to show the story is out of this world.. Loved every minute of this! Keep up the amazing work! Beautiful Damascus
Right? Crispy Visuals delivered and incredible piece of art about a true Artist. Thanks to the crew at Cabot for sharing this story with us.
😲,
F'n Great Work!!!
Ahhhhh i love Eggerling Damascus!! Ive been wanting to get SOME piece of work that he's made. This is a great tribute to RE! THANKS!!!
As a toolmaker for 30 years , this is outstanding 👏👏👏. Right up with the Japanese sword-smiths talent and skill 👏👏👏👏👏👏
😮. Absolutely amazing to see this amazing craftsmanship and hard work being created. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Forge lit. Keep Making. God bless.
Rob as his team are masters. Wonderful video, done properly.
Amazing artistry, the finished products are one of a kind heirlooms and spectacular. Aphrodite and California particularly. Cabot is doing something no one else can replicate.
The smithing community just isn’t ready for this gem!
An artist who no ego. A rare duck. And a pleasure to watch work.
We are extremely fortunate to have witnessed Robert’s skill and passion. Kudos to Cabot Guns for making this historical film happen.
Great documentary ! My father had a Damascus twist shotgun that he lost when he moved from Pennsylvania soon after World War 2, and found later it was being kept as a memento of a relative who hadn't actually owned it. But he was so glad to see it enjoyed that he let them think so, rather than start a family feud. I would love to own this or any Cabot pistol, and may some day. Full disclosure : my father's cousin's daughter's husband used to work for Cabot, but I heard he retired. I have always loved the look of Damascus steel.
Robert and Mary's table is one of my first stops at the Blade Show. Great people.
This is a beautiful tribute to a truly inspiring craftsman and artist. Thank you Rob and Cabot for showcasing such an amazing talent. The industrial arts are disappearing all too fast, and it takes incredible people like you to showcase incredible people like Bob Eggerling. The final product of the Leviathan 1911 Pistol, is breathtaking. What an incredible marriage of master craftsmen!
Superb documentary!! Can't wait to see the next video you produce!
I’m so happy to say that getting to know Robert over the past years is an honor. Robert is a member of my guild. I see him just about every month. Always comes into the shop to see what everyone is working on and will give advice and help other smith out. Robert is a master craftsman at his work, and is a truly great man. 308jc
I can’t wait!
Outstanding!
Incredible
Wonderful video, wonderful man.
Wow. Just wow!
It’s pretty amazing work
A great pattern is a joy to watch unfold in the final product. Truly satisfying getting a mosaic that's eye catching.
Awesome 😎
It’s been a real blessing to see this video. Thank you Cabot guns.
Awesome
Inspiring. I'm very new to knifemaking (from Australia) this is fuel to my fire. I hope I can be making into my 80s and beyond too.
The absolute 🐐of Damascus!
This is amazing. I’m in awe 🙏🏼of people dedicated to their crafts.
That was very cool. Thank you for sharing this man's story.
Dedicated to the pursuit!
Beautifully said. ❤
Loving 1911 !!! A
its gonna suck to lose a legend like this
Amazing, thanks for sharing
shouldn't Robert get one of them?
Any chance we can get you to speak on the cameras and lenses used on this?
Hi! Videographer and editor here!👋🏻 this was filmed on the a7siii, and Sony FE24-70GMii.
Other gear: ronin RSC3, RODE audio, Sony 28,50,85
@@ChristianFarrington Thank you for the info. It's astonishingly higher quality than premium smartphone video uploads. Really neat to watch too. Looking forward to your next vid.
28:57 - When he pulls out one of his secret pistols.
Great, now I don't want to look at my regular 1911's anymore.
Music is not necessary and it is far too loud. Can't watch it .
Turn. The. Volume. Down.👌🏻
motion sickness type of video
Actually its filmed quiet steady. Very little hand held. Mostly stable movements!
@@ThatWorks i guess i was quick on the trigger on that one. The intro is what i referred to. Cant seem to edit nor delete with firefox beta on android. At least, its intermitt3nt (beta)
The steel is beautiful. That piano music is ass and does not translate to what he is building
Press master, not a blacksmith.
No he IS a blacksmith..A press is just power.. it can do nothing unless the one who is operating it knows what to do wioth that power..Just like a hand hammer or even a power hammer. It is NOT the tools.. it is the one using them.. I am a "no body" in this industry and I like to keep it that way..but give the man his due here..this isn't all "hot work"..90% of this is "brain work":..The man has paid his dues..Give him some respect here...
