I found plans and built it.

Try Google, see what comes up.

Wow ! That is amazing ! I would think it was a twist by watching guys I know that make billets . U work real hard on your steel bro.

I'm glad to see that u got a auto hammer. The first vid I saw of yours u were just using a anvil and hammer.

@Lvduggo69

Yeah that hammer came up for sale half price, so I grabbed it.

@Conan568.

U said a while back on this vid that u didn't twist this ? Common ! That is soooooo a

twist !

[Conan568]

@Lvduggo69

No twist, I ground grooves in either side.

How did you make your forge? I've been struggling for months trying to make a working forge for making pattern welded steel.

@Conan568 again thanks for the response and i will try that once i start on pattern welded steel.

[Conan568]

@drewbob901

That's a cool idea.

It could be done by grinding away the corner/edges of the pre-shaped but still flat Damascus bar then forging the bar flat again after.

@Conan568 thank you for responding and making the video it was great i am just starting out but i wish to make pattern welded steel in the future and i was also wondering how you could make the pattern specificly in a shape on the blade?

@drewbob901

You can file them in, grind them in, or mill them in, if you have a milling machine.
