Grrrr. :grumpy:
Sorry about that Phil, I'll have another piece for you asap Phil. :thumbup: I just finished up a bar of 144 layer random pattern damascus, is this ok with you? Edit... I just realized I forged it for ladder pattern, I guess that's what its gonna be made into. 
By the way winners; this bar contains more than enough for everybody but I would like to make another bar too. So 3 of the winners will get this stuff and then with the next bar I'll send the other 2 winners their bars.

Nope, in the interest of true economic stimulus, it looks like a shoestring budget was involved, thus it doesn't appear to have been insured. Although I miss the pleasure of holding Dan's damascus in my hands and beholding it in person, I can genuinely say I have enjoyed this thread and meeting Dan and his philanthropy even more.

Hi Dan,
Looks like we were posting at the same time. I knew you would feel compelled to send me another piece. Please don't feel you have to. But, do consider how you wrap the bar when you send them out and insuring it. I know it will cost you a little more, but when you're selling this stuff to a customer it will be important.
Even though it wasn't insured, I would suggest you print out that photo you posted of the piece, and my photo of the received damaged package, and go down to the post office where you mailed it out from, along with my address that you sent it to, and tell them what happened. They have a form you can fill out. You never know, maybe they can find that bugga.
I hope you don't get disheartened too badly by this. I know how much work you put into making that. You're good people Dan and a genuine pleasure to get to know.
All the best, Phil

Bwahahaha Phil, any reason to make more damascus is a good reason. I enjoy it so all I'm loosing is the cost of propane. Plus I'm gaining experience so its all good. :thumbup:
Your right Phil I didn't insure it, I had 5 bucks in my wallet and it cost $4.90 to ship. I'm going to switch to shipping tubes and insured for the rest of the steel I sell/ship unless a flat rate box is more efficient.
I forged the bar for the ladder pattern flat on the wrong side. So I'm gonna fold it once or twice more then put the pattern in so the bar of 288 or 576 layer ladder pattern should be ready to ship by wensday.
Thanks for the kind words Phil. Also I'm going to take your advice and hope they find the bar.

I feel my random pattern billets are not random enough so I'm working on a bar of birds eye pattern. Sorry fellas, I don't want to give you anything below my standards.
