Cool design. Forge on. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Forge lit. Keep Making. God Bless.

Great looking blades! I need a sand blaster....

I think people dilute to 50/50 to give more control when etching damascus; that's why I dilute. Lets me ease up on the pattern and etch in cycles (cleaning between cycles).

Nice…👍🏼
How Strong (%) is the ferric chloride you use?

[nvk]

Have you ever made a video explaining how to made a dagger designs because I can’t figure out how to make it even on both sides.

What’s best to use if you don’t have ferric acid? Would old coffee work?

[patrickvilda]

Very well done 👍. Great tips for the acid etch, here no choice… 46% ferric chloride found. Thanks for your video.

I've found diluting the ferric chloride lets me do slower more controlled etches, which I find helpful in getting a super even finish, but that's about it.

Question about the acid bath. If you just wanted to darken the blade, would you just dip in the acid for 5 minutes and then rinse with windex? Leave it at that? Thanks in advance.

Jeremy! HI from NZ. Love your vids!
As a newbie to your craft, can you tell me approximately how many hours it takes you, from your wood-stock, thru all your processes and assembly, to the finished Wa handle?. You se3m to be so effic8ent!!
The few handles I have made following your excellant vids aren't really faithfull to the traditional Wa style, but I really love the unique and individual look that I can be proud of.
My problem is that they seem to consume so much time, that it becomes disheartening!
I aprpreciate that some of my problems stem from trying to be too creative, with most of them having up to 7 or 8 different components, as in Ebony, 1mm brass, 1mm G10, white cow-bone, NZ native wood for the main handle part, then maybe an end finish of G10, thin bone, and brass end cap.
I dont sell any of these, the are just to give to family and special friends. I don't really favour dropping to maybe 3 or 4 components.

Been watching your channel for a long time, so forgive me if you covered this somewhere, but what's a rough ballpark to order a fixed blade knife from you? Say like a 3.5-4" blade.

Do you have a link for the clear vinyl you use?

[briscoot]

You should make 1 by 30 belt sander video again 😄

[billclancy]

I replaced the block with a que tip and alligator clip for more precision when etching.

[jamesbradshaw]

I used wd40 with ceramic medium and it got all gummed up to the point where I just threw it all away like literally clumped together. 🤣 what's the deal? Did you add anything else? Do you clean the stones after your done somehow?

[Shortstuff-tq]

How would I purchase one of these from you

[Zellereller]

3:18 what are you using to make this incision?

[billbaggins]

👍🍺 Been a while since I made a comment... life n stuff 😁
Enjoying this little series mate. I have an unrelated question, a mate asked if I can sharpen some butter knives so they can cut steak. Is this ok ? 🤣

[Kevin-ghcn]

How can i get on the list for 2 of them? :)

[trevorbeckett]

Really enjoy your presentation and quality of work.
Not a fan of the word SUPER that is being used I must say.
