Good job man!!!
I'm trying to make a Damascus and don't have a welder!! And I you show me how to doit show me how to get creative!! ❤️ .
I got a Arabian jambiya project and going to make it out of Damascus with carbon steel wire and carbon steel fishing hook without a tube or a welder, it's going to get really messy but I'm going to love the chaos.

[@customscreenprinting]

Thanks Bob for this excellent video about the hand made Damascus with no welder used GREAT JOB BOB KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK YOU DO and God Bless you and thanks again I will keep watching these old videos until I get to the newer videos

[@BBForge]

thanks Wayne

[@Psyrus88]

The transitions made me feel like I was having a seizure, but this video was so encouraging. It is neither practical nor financially responsible for me at the moment to obtain welding equipment and learn how to use it, and this is so reassuring to see.

[@BBForge]

Thanks Psyrus ya sorry about the transitions that was why i changed my editing software its a little more work this way but it can be done.

[@Psyrus88]

@@BBForge It was more of a joke than a dig at you; sorry if it came off as the latter.

[@BBForge]

@@Psyrus88 no it came across as a joke. I just hate the way it is in that video.

Awesome job Bob

I'm just now getting into forging and trying to budget for my tools so this was awesome to see thanks man

Thanks Danny and welcome to the world of blacksmithing

Nice job Bob. I really enjoy your videos.

[@BBForge]

well Thank You Billy.

[@strongsadventures]

Hey have you heard anything from Sam at Gordon Family Forge? I haven’t heard anything in a month.

[@BBForge]

no I have not I know he was travailing for work before the holidays.

[@strongsadventures]

B & B Forge I know we had computer issues but I still can comment. I haven’t even seen him comment. Just was kinda concerned.

[@BBForge]

ya i thought it was strange I did not get a reply from him last week. I will reach out to a few of the guys to see if anyone has talked to him.

[@IamHere2468]

Awesome!! Oh boy I can hear the no pre weld Damascus challenge coming up (after all these others are done of course)

[@BBForge]

thanks Jachin

[@jjppres]

SWEET! Good job! Not only did you do it without a welder but you picked some really tough steel to do it with. Kudo's!

[@BBForge]

Thanks Jim, I happen to have a lot of leaf spring and 4140 flat bar sitting around.

[@stefanmierke4801]

Very nice weld.

[@BBForge]

thanks Stefan

[@celt3965]

Your shop looks like mine! Love it. Good video.

[@BBForge]

thanks celt

[@OuroborosArmory]

Looks like something got left I your coal forge.. it’s sparking something fierce.

[@BBForge]

thanks Ouroboros Armory ya it does cheap tractor supply coal.

[@drstrangefart]

Side note, I don't know if you knew this but another practice is to forge weld your bottom piece to a handle so you can of course manipulate the billet more easily when you work it out. You just forge weld the handle to a couple of sacrificial inches before the stack will start.

[@BBForge]

thanks Allan, ya that should be my last one with no welder going to get a tombstone stick welder.

[@drstrangefart]

F**K YEAH MAN! Also, how's that hammer I made you perform?

[@BBForge]

I have not used it yet, the weather and holidays this was my first day in the shop since last Sunday

[@drstrangefart]

10-4. You know I'm like a kid with it.

[@dougthomas9460]

Awesome Brother.

[@BBForge]

thanks Doug

[@danszapa]

Very nice, Bob! Last time I tried that I used stainless wire and it worked really well. The stainless pretty much won’t weld to the billet and holds up really well to the heat.

[@BBForge]

thanks Dan, man where do you find stainless wire?

[@danszapa]

They have spools of it at my local ace hardware by where they have chain and rope and whatnot.

[@bentoombs]

Nice job dude!!

[@BBForge]

thanks Ben

[@rickeycallen]

Cut it and stack it opposite directions and weld it again itll be badass

[@BBForge]

thanks Hammerhead, i was thinking of drawing it out to a square bar and twisting it and the staking it back up in opposite directions.

[@rickeycallen]

@@BBForge exactly what I meant I left out the drawing part. But itd personally wait until the log splitter forge press arrives lol

[@paulrobertson7980]

Instead of tie wire you can use stainless steel hose clamps, works great

[@BBForge]

thanks Paul

[@nailedinscotland]

ace man love it going to ge it a bash

[@BBForge]

Good luck

[@drstrangefart]

So what you're REALLY saying is that I'm getting called out for using a welder. But seriously wire tying is (at least to me) a pretty well known method. I was GONNA be wire wrapping mine but I lucked into that little flux core for $100.

[@BBForge]

lol ya but the wire did not last so no wire was used by time I welded it

[@wilmamcdermott3065]

I made some damascus 5160 and large hacksaw blade

[@BBForge]

It’s a fun skill to learn for sure

[@wilmamcdermott3065]

@@BBForge yup but i cheated i welded it together first

[@BBForge]

@@wilmamcdermott3065 I would have if I had one at that time.

[@jefribekham]

Sir, what power used to be spread on the iron?

[@BBForge]

post ape saje that is 40 mule team borax it’s used as a flux.

[@kevinmencer3782]

Man, I love watching this stuff as much as the next guy, but, where in heck is your PPE? At least you could wear some gloves when handling orange hot steel!

[@BBForge]

Thanks Kevin ya I was bad about using PPE I’m trying to get better about it.

[@kevinmencer3782]

@@BBForge please do. Your fans want you whole and healthy so you can continue to show us awesome stuff like this.

[@HomeImProveMentHow]

What is the powder your sprinkling on your metal? Once you created your solid piece of metal now what what purposes can you use that for? Bye for now keep up the great work God bless, peace out Ken

[@BBForge]

thanks Ken. its 40 mule team borax, its used as flux when forge welding. it keeps the steel from forming scale so it will weld together.

[@BBForge]

and Damascus is used a lot in knife, but it can be used to make anything it just a better looking steel when you mix them and manipulate the patterns.

[@HomeImProveMentHow]

@@BBForge well thank you very much that is good to know. Then once you have these pieces Forge together what kind of tools can you make from that metal? Thanks for getting back to me bro God bless, By4Now Ken

[@julianlaustsen1991]

that's clever lol, no safety glasses...

hey it happens a lot

Binding wire you mean

[@aaronjaspersen8050]

You're going to have a short career forge welding without safety glasses on your face not your hat
