Its been a while,, sorry,, I am still working on getting my new shed ready to move my tools too,, all thats missing now is a bigger inverter for my solar as Im off grid and it takes a bit of solar to run a welder,, but close now,, got enough battery storage, 2 more panels coming soon and ordering a 6000w inverter shortly,, so it will be knives and swords made with sunlight, !!

With the power hammer I wanted to push my boundaries a bit so , this is the result,, 11 layer Cable and bandsaw blade, damascus, first i made some cable damascus and cut 6 pieces and stacked with 5 pieces of bandsaw blade,, This is the first time i have done a stack this big with 2 different metals, i had some issues with the forge weld but all in all i am very pleased with the outcome,, guard is brass and the handle Australian Blackwood with stainless pins,, tip to guard is 14 inches or 350 mm, with 500mm overall,,
