Always liked when you did mokume. I think some of those were some of the first videos of yours I watched way back when I subscribed to you. It is always amazing how it turns out.

If you got it hot and quenched it the drilling would have been much easier. For those who don't know metals like copper, silver and gold gen annealed (softened) how you would normally harden steel. I imagine nickel is the same way but not sure

Im working on the beam hammer build. Trying to do a da Vinci cam to lift hammer. Need more measuring drilling and welding to get body set up. I will let you know how it goes, might use a spring to add extra force if the cam works.

i didn't see flux applied to the stack of quarters(?), that's a real missing link...are the quarters actually old, all-silver? it would make sense to stack the quarters, wrapped in iron wire, to weld them, *then* into the vice?

How does that treadle hammer work on steel? Mine has a railroad track head and is only good for small top tool striking.

@ChristCenteredIronworks Жыл бұрын

Really well on 5/8" And under so far. Need to test it with some bigger stock here soon ☺️ trust me there will be more videos on it soon

Roy is it okay to handle with tongs while you're in the finishing process? And what is the torch tip your using called. I don't have it. I need to purchase one.

@ChristCenteredIronworks Жыл бұрын

You can hold it with tongs but you don't want it to marr it .. holding in hand is the Best way I have found. The torch tip is called a "1/2" rosebud " can be found at most welding supply shops ☺️

@stevenwhite7763 Жыл бұрын

What do you think of steel, brass, and copper? Or am I asking for trouble with low melting temps?

@jensdavidsen4557 Жыл бұрын

That's a great question and it definitely says a lot about your creative thinking so props to you! You can forge braze copper or brass to steel (just as you can braze with an acetylene oxygen torch), however 2 things: 1) brass contains zinc which can be fatal in enclosed areas 2) brazing isn't welding...it's like a stronger version of soldering, the filler (copper or bronze) melts far cooler than steel; it's a bonding process for sure, and very strong, but it's not welding. Welding requires both materials to reach the melting point. If you try this with something like copper (like Alec Steele very recently did), you will find the copper melting out. Again, that was a great question! Keep up the creativity! We're all here to learn something! Cheers, - Jens

Steel And copper Yes . Steel And brass no.... Brass would be a vapor before the steel got hot enough to do anything

@marcusmccoy3328 Жыл бұрын

Have you tried that with just sheets of copper, and nickle with the vice?

@ChristCenteredIronworks Жыл бұрын

I have it's basically the same process but takes longer to heat up

@marcusmccoy3328 Жыл бұрын

That's awesome to hear! I've really been struggling with mokume gane for soooo long. I keep getting oxidation between layers and not solid bonding. This seems like a great way to do this.
