Forging a cuff

Making a cuff from Baker Forge stainless damascus.
Didn’t realize my phone over heated so I got zero footage of the grinding and forging to shape. But the next one is going to be epic.

Cuff in Steel & Copper

Finished rough shaping this cuff in Elite Coppermai. Just a quick test etch before finish grinding and polishing. Can’t wait to see the contrast in colors at the end.

Stainless Steel Worry Stone

Playing around with some stainless damascus for this one. Brazing this stuff together is tough. Nice deep etch and then a light etch in some diluted ferric chloride for some contrast.

Twisted Copper & Steel Cuff

Quick test etch on this one to see the pattern. This cuff is made from copper and 1084 that I forged out and twisted. Can’t wait to see the contrast between that deep black and copper after polishing and etching.

Copper & Steel Pendant

Well this one didn’t go as planned.

It started as a dog tag made from a billet of 1084, Copper, & Nickel that I forged, twisted, cut into bars, and brazed together. The original piece cracked while drilling the lanyard hole, but I’m happy with how it turned out in the end.

Dragonscale & Mokume

Well it finally happened. While forging in the mokume plugs on this worry stone, one of them came slingshotting out and hit me right in the eye. Burned my cornea and iris. Cross your fingers for me.

Twisted Dragonscale with Triple Alloy Momume Inserts.
