Damascus forging in 720p

[Larrin]

My sister made these three videos of my father, Devin Thomas, forging out a stainless damascus bar. Sorry the ladder patterning video is out of focus.

Great to see a master at work, thanks for sharing! That ladder bar seemed long enough to make a shortsword, what were the final blade dimensions? :thumbup:

The second rolling mill video was private for a short period of time but that has been fixed.

Hi Larrin,

Didn't need to see that. I need a bigger hammer. Hope all is going well and tell your dad I said hello.

All the Best
Cliff
