I was just wanting to let you guys now of this new tutorial .It is not by me but is a very interesting way of inlaying brass in steel.

If this has already been posted and I missed it sorry about the second post,but it is still a cool idea with many possiabilities for custom knife work.

That is by fellow forumite Shakudo. I was gathering my materials this afternoon! :)

Thanks, Dan, for going to the effort to create the tutorial!
 
very interesting. My creative juices are flowing but Im thinking about sterling instead of brass. Wish I could afford gold.
 
The thought occured to me of making the arrowhead blank, then setting on the flatter on the press. Heat up the slightly undersized tab of damascus or mokume and press it in. Piece of radial damascus would look pretty cool.
 
I may get it the Jewelry business. Make up some Damascus arrowheads and insert Indian Head Pennies or Buffalo Nickels.:confused: :confused: :D
 
Thanks for sharing that Bruce. I have a project that this will help me on tremendously...
 
thanks Shakudo very nice
you know where that's going :D
Please let me know if you don't want it in the the knife making site.
thanks for posting it Bruce.
 
I am not the fastest Mike, you might have to wait awhile. Still, it is a good idea and I WILL act on it one day. Uh, just occured to me, I do not have a press either.
Big Hammer?:D

Cool Tutorial, thanks for linking it Bruce, and thanks Shakudo for making it, gives me a couple of ideas I'd like to try, but then I've got so many ideas that if I complete them all I'll be 200.
 
Very cool technique. Many possibilities with this. So, I did a web search for "45 degree bearing burr" but not much luck. What exacly is a bearing burr and where to you get one?

what do you put the burr in? i assume i could do this with a dremel and some time but there has to be a tool for this.
 
i used a foredom flex shaft tool,but a dremel will work fine. with a high speed steel burr the "v" channel can be cut in less then 2 minutes, faster if you have a steady hand.

dremel makes a router foot for their units it would work to set and keep center for you.
