This is why I love watching your channel. First you explain everything you do in detail and you make amazing blades. So amazing and huge fan. Wish I could meet you in real life and/or have the experience to learn from you.
This was a fun collab. Rick's shop has lots of cool tools I don't have and he's a great guy to work with. I think the damascus turned out really cool as well!
Dennis, I was glad you said you were gonna fish mouth weld it. That’s exactly what I was thinking. I was also thinking, what about an edge bar, all the way around the outside, so you don’t distort the waves or the sun so much. Great work! Can’t wait to see it finished!
Been watching the channel for a few months now and it’s given me the drive to want to learn. Any recommendations on where to start for someone with zero experience
Best to start by watching the Beginner Series Playlist. That will get you started. You could also consider joining my Patreon and getting direct consultations and question with me. Thanks for watching, Isaiah!
This is really cool, I can't wait to see what you make. The whole concept of using a 3d printed sacfold for patterns is interesting. I am surprised it doesn't inhibit the forge welds.
another cool design like usual. quick question, is it possible to make mosaic damascus using copper in the design or is that not possible due to it not actually being welded to the steel when forged? i would love to see you try to attempt it, even if it fails it would still make a cool video in my opinion
Good morning, have you done destructive testing? The plate, although carbon-based, will inevitably leave impurities at the welds. For my part, I did some tests and unfortunately when we tested the welds, I noticed that the different elements were molded around each other but not welded. Looking forward to an exchange with you on this subject.
These were welded extremely well. Certainly no issues. Perhaps your wall thickness was too much. We had these at .1 mm or thereabouts. Thanks for watching.
@@TyrellKnifeworks First of all, I want to tell you that you are doing a great job, but comments are not there to bring out something negative but just with the aim of progress. have you done destructive testing? Because indeed it seems well welded but when we carry out destructive resistance tests we realize that the piece breaks all around the pattern, the steel has not welded. We therefore have something which is closer to crimping than to soldering. I printed my box with 100% plant-based PLA and 0.15 walls which is the thinnest that can be printed with a 0.2 nozzle.
@mojorisen5997 I’ve only done this process twice and had no cause for destructive tests. Everything appeared perfectly welded. I’ll try it some time. But just because you had it fail once, doesn’t mean the entire process is flawed. I’ll certainly give it a try.
I covered this in my last Q&A Triple-T. They both have their uses. The power hammer is great/better at drawing out stock but the press is good for setting welds and for larger items. I wish I had both in my shop but sadly a power hammer is too loud for my neighborhood. Thanks for watching.
I agree, mine will be a quillion dagger. Rick will be doing his own build from his portion. I'll show both in a video as some point. Thanks for watching, Jeremy!
It's all done by hand in a free photo editing software called Gimp. It's quite involved so not something everyone will be interested in. Thanks for watching.
You could start with very low tolerance parts, but when they get into the forge and you are forge welding, all that goes out the window. Thanks for watching.
She doesn’t do videos but you can checkout her Instagram for finished pieces. This build is a riff off her pattern. She doesn’t typically mirror it like I have though. Thanks for watching.
Ok so you go from filling the 3d printed from in that glass pan to the form already in the can, but how did you transfer that from the glass pan to the can without spilling it all???? HOW?????
There's a bottom on the 3D mold. You just pick it up, shake off the excess and then put it into the can and then fill the rest with the 1095 powder. I use the glass dish so that I can collect the extra powder that spills over the mold and reuse it. Thanks for watching, Fred.
that one has to be a dagger I think, the only other thing that would take advantage of the pattern would be a gladius ....awesome work I absolutely love the water pattern
You could do the center of the sun with a plug weld, but not really the rays. Since its just one steel, seems like it may not be be worth a plug weld. If you wanted the sun in a damascus pattern, then it would be a cool idea. Thanks for watching.
@Tyrell Knifeworks I should have been more clear, I did mean just the sun, and not the rays. Either way, this came out fantastic and I can't wait to see what you make out of it.
I wonder if you could use a deformed 3d print so that your forge welded sunset is less distorted. Not a criticism as much as a thought. Like preplanning for forging distortion. Seeing the layers as you were working the billets made me think this.
The problem is its difficult to know how it's going to be distorted. We had an issue in the final forge weld so had to press it more than we would have liked. I like the distortion that twists the rays a bit though. It looks kinda cool. 😁. Thanks for watching.
The craftsmanship is so cool, but to tell you one thing, I don't want you to use the Japanese Rising Sun Flag as a war criminal, which means the same as Hakenkrochitz in Germany
@@TyrellKnifeworks You can say that, but I don't think it's the same if you put half of the radish because Asia is sensitive to the Japanese Rising Sun Flag
@@TyrellKnifeworks think your work is great and the best, but if there is a match or shape that is sensitive to your work among the subscribers who watch your videos from all over the world, what kind of things do you avoid?
Dec. 7th, 1941. The Japanese Imperial Navy killed 2,403 Americans, and wounded 1,143 more, in a cowardly sneak attack on a sleepy Sunday morning at Pearl Harbor. The only other attack in history that can compare to it was September 11th, 2001. Estimates for how many innocents killed/murdered by the Japanese Empire during WW2 through massacres, human experimentation, starvation, and forced labor range from between 3 to 30 MILLION people. And they were flying THAT FLAG when committing those atrocities... Japan was known as "the land of the rising sun." An island country in the far east, surrounded by the Pacific Ocean where you can watch the sun rise over the ocean and sun set over the ocean. And this billet is called "Ocean Sunset...." HORRIBLE timing to drop that video, on that date, with that title. I think you're a good dude and had no intent whatsoever for that, but it still needed to be said.
@@TyrellKnifeworks I am a South Korean. In South Korea, people learn that there is no future for a nation that has forgotten history. The Nazi pattern and the Rising Sun Flag mean the same thing.
Any suggestions what I should make with this billet? I'm thinking dagger!
Un glaive romain, la garde en demi cercle entourant le soleil de votre construction, si toutefois vous avez suffisamment de matériel.
Dagger!!!!
Persian dagger or a Roman dagger.
I think it could only be a dagger
Definitely a 🗡
that schematic sketch of the inside is a great thing, makes it easier to follow the brain of the Blacksmith. cool idea!
I'm glad the graphics are helpful! Thanks for watching.
Can't wait to see the finished knife, it's a striking pattern and testimony to you and Rik's skill.
Thanks, Doris! Both Rick and I will be creating knives with this pattern. You'll see them in a video at some point.

Very fun and challenging project, thanks for coming over buddy,now it’s my turn.
It was really fun! You’re welcome over any time. 😉
I think its great you are sharing some of these advanced designs. It helps makers of all levels. Good job!

Mr. Tyrell thank you for the triple-T! The best thing to watch on Friday (in my country it's already Friday) evening after a hard work week
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching and following the channel. ❤️
One of the best billets I've seen!
Thanks for watching, Chris!
Beautiful work
Thanks for taking a look!

Magnificent Damascus pattern !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, Jerry! I appreciate you checking it out.
Incredible craftsmanship!
I am excited to see what you create with it.
It should be a fun build to use this one. Thanks for watching, Jeff!
What a beautiful and unique pattern Dennis! I definitely agree it needs to be a dagger of some sort. As always thanks for taking us along!
Once it stretches out a bit, I think it's going to be even more stunning! Thanks for watching, Stephen.
It’s so much fun to work with other makers and call them friends!
It was pretty fun to use that power hammer too! 😜. Thanks for watching, Spencer!
I really like that pattern base. Loads of options to jump off from there. Great work as always
When this gets stretched out a bit, it will look much more incredible I think! Thanks for watching.
@@TyrellKnifeworks I like fine patterns on a smaller blade. Stretched out will be great on a nice dagger
Beautiful pattern.
Thanks for checking it out!
Can't wait to see the finished product! I know it will be beautiful. You do great work!
It’ll be a while before I finish this one, but I’m looking forward to it. I think it’ll be pretty cool. Thanks for watching, Mark!
@@TyrellKnifeworks BTW, did you ever finish the Turkish Twist Damascus build? I'm playing along with that one!
@@markramey5437 it’s in my table right now. It’ll be fine after this next one that should complete next week.

I’ll be pressing the sun flat but drawing out the waves so they don’t get oddly distorted. Thanks for watching.
That is an amazing pattern I'm looking forward to seeing what you make out of it
I think I'll be making a dagger out of it. Rick will be making his own knife from his portion of the billet. Thanks for watching.

This is really cool, I can't wait to see what you make. The whole concept of using a 3d printed sacfold for patterns is interesting. I am surprised it doesn't inhibit the forge welds.
Yes, the possibilities are endless now! PLA filament is carbon based so its just absorbed by the steel. Thanks for watching.

It’s not possible. You can’t forge weld steel with copper in it, you’d melt out the copper. Thanks for watching.
AMAZING!! I need to fix my 3d printer. Cant wait to see what you make of it.
Not sure what it takes to fix a printer, but a brand new Longer LK5 Pro is only $299. There's a link in the video description. Thanks for watching.

Now that you've had a go on the power hammer, can you clarify why someone would chose one over the other?
I covered this in my last Q&A Triple-T. They both have their uses. The power hammer is great/better at drawing out stock but the press is good for setting welds and for larger items. I wish I had both in my shop but sadly a power hammer is too loud for my neighborhood. Thanks for watching.
Curious when and why one would use a power hammer vs. a press. (I'm obviously not a smith, but I enjoy watching smiths practice their craft).
I answered this as part of last week’s Q&A, check that video out for the answer. 👍
How does the pla? Plastic affect the welds? As for what to make. Wakizashi
PLA is carbon based so it's absorbed by the steel. Thanks for watching, Kevin.
Amazing
Thanks for taking a look!
Wow is all I could say. That pattern is beautiful. Anything made from it will be amazing but my first thoughts was a dagger would be cool.

@@TyrellKnifeworks I like it enough I want to do it
Hi Dennis, what software do you use to create and manipulate the sketches or renderings of your billets? I would like to see a TTT about that process.
It's all done by hand in a free photo editing software called Gimp. It's quite involved so not something everyone will be interested in. Thanks for watching.
I was wondering if you were going to use zero tolerance machining for a precise Damascus. I'm seeing more and more smiths use it, recently.
You could start with very low tolerance parts, but when they get into the forge and you are forge welding, all that goes out the window. Thanks for watching.
That’s awesome!
Checkout the full dagger build with this damascus: th-cam.com/video/xSQ6ARmsquI/w-d-xo.html. thanks for watching, James!
Wow. So do you sit down and work out how the pattern will change on paper first. Great result
Yes, I do usually map it out on paper. I have step by step guides available on my websites as well. Thanks for watching.
Is there somewhere to see how kelly Vermeer Vella made the piece you showed?
She doesn’t do videos but you can checkout her Instagram for finished pieces. This build is a riff off her pattern. She doesn’t typically mirror it like I have though. Thanks for watching.
@@TyrellKnifeworks it's the darker spots opposite the waves that I found interesting, reminds me of animal fur.

This is awesome, but I have an idea that I think would take it even further. Do a damascus plug weld on the sun.
