Blade making process
Distribution chain from a car. I'm filling the spaces with "steel
wool" we use to remove crusty food on dishes. (Picture
1)
Chain with a 4mm thickness 5160 plate wrapped around. What you can
see on the center are 1070 and 1010 steel plates. (Pictures
2 and 3)
Once I welded it a steel bar for easy handling, I placed it on the
can, with two stainless 304 plates on top and bottom to allow easy
retrieval of the damascus billet later (if I don't add this two
layers, it welds against the can inner walls) (Picture 4)
Off to the oven it goes (old picture, but It depicts exactly what
I did with this one) (Picture 5)
I took the already welded steel out of the can/capsule. (It looks
funny, but it is properly welded) (Pictures 6 and 7)
Twisting the steel after heating it again. (Pictures 8 and 9)
