:) It's still just 20 layers (1080 & 15N20) but all appears to have welded solid. For my first attempt at damascus on a new forge & press, I'm very happy. Probably won't know if it is worth anything until done but I can see how this could get in your veins. :D:D:D

That's cool as can be, Gary!
You'll lay awake at nights, now, thinking about what you'll be making the next day.
Your life, as you knew it, is over.
 
Four welds later--320 layers.

For some time I have been badmouthing this extreme winter weather. Whoo! It was sure nice to step outside and cool off. :):)

Quit teasing us Gary!

Knock that scale off, etch it, and let us see what you really have. That is when the excitement begins.

Seriously -- congratulations on your acomplishment. It looks like you are breaking in your new shop right. Keep us posted.

Thanks Brian. I'm going to attempt a pattern for it tomorrow that I have been designing in my head for a while. Hope it turns out.
