markyboy07 Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 This is my new toy i picked up cheap last week. It needed a bit of modifying, ive raised the bed and dropped the cylinder down a little to make it suit my needs. ive also made up some quick change dies. The billet in the video is my first attempt at damascus that i tried by hand back in April. It didnt go well and resulted in poor welds and i was unable to draw the billet out due to poor technique and lack of muscle power. by hand it took me a couple of hours to set the weld and draw it out about an inch and a half. On the press i doubled its length in two heats/ about ten minutes. Have ordered up some more steel so will hopefully have some damascus to show off on here soon.
