Forge welding with natural gas. I'm surprised with what this ribbon burner can do. #javosironworks #forge #forgedweld #hot #naturalgas #damascus #damascussteel #blacksmithingtools #blacksmithing #tools #fire #heat #shop #workshop #knifemaking #handmade #madeinminnesota (at North Saint Paul, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq4wlJRAiMP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2b1uhdrq1vrr

Following up from yesterday's canister post. The can seperated successfully and the billet was solid. I made two billets and tried a test etch on them. The steel showed no cracks or flaws. Mostly black with little flecks of nickel showing. Not the most interesting looking pieces so I'll scratch saw blades off the list. Trying again with my scraps of Damascus next. #javosironworks #canisterdamascus #damascus #forged #forgedweld #blacksmith #steel #knife #knifemaking #hot #blacksmithingtools #anvil #handmade #madeinminnesota (at North Saint Paul, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsS87mwjAeF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7k4c23ur23g8

My first ever attempt at forged welded damascus. I used what I had laying around so this is from some o1 scraps and a old chainsaw blade. I used the induction forge for heat. The pattern may not be the best but everything seem to have welded. A fun little experiment. #javosironworks #blacksmith #forged #forgedweld #damascussteel #damascus #knifemaking #knife #handcrafted #handmade #madeinminnesota #steel

Nothing too special here except I forged welded these in my induction forge. Pretty happy I was able to pull that off. #javosironworks #blacksmith #forged #chain #welded #forgedweld #handcrafted #handmade #madeinminnesota
