It's nice to see the skills are being kept alive. My grandfather was a blacksmith in the Netherlands. My uncles worked in his smithy until we all immigrated to Canada in the late '50s and early '60s.
 
Nice job! Did you make the furniture as well?
whats this? There are other furniture makers amongst me?
Yes sir I make everything from scratch, no pre made parts or anything like that. All done in my shop.
I visited Colonial Williamsburg about 15 years ago and saw those guys making furniture, the old way, and I became fascinated. It took me a couple years to get the hang of sharpening the tools properly but man, that’s when things became fun and I haven’t looked back since.

Such a shame that basic woodworking with handtools has been removed from so many schools.

He is refering to the gaurd etc. On a knife the wood and other nonblade parts can be called "furniture". I deffinately dont have the skill to make actual furniture lol

Those swirls are actually inside the steel.
Pattern welded Damascus steel is made by stacking multiple alternating layers of 2 different alloys that have similar heat treatment requirements, one with a nickle content and one regular high carbon steel. This stack is then forge welded into a homogeneous billet. It is now solid piece that still has it alternating layers. You then cut it up, stack it and re forge weld it together again to raise the layer count. This restacking process is repeated untill the layer count is where the smith wants it. Then the billet gets drawn out and manipulated in various ways like twisting, making cut or drilling shallow holes etc then the bar gets hammered out flat. When a blade is made from the resulting billet of damascus steel it wont look any different from a normal steel blade, untill it gets etched in acid. The nickle in the one steel will resist the acid staying bright while the carbon in the other gets eaten up, turning black.

Sorry for the long post in @Duggan's thread. Someone asked a question here that I'm actually qualified to answer lol.
Back to the Duggy show :)

Well said man an shit learn sumthn new everyday lol. I've always wanted to learn smithing and welding and all that good stuff lol jus never had the time or money. But yea man thanx for the answer.
 
Man I am behind! Another excellent bubble hash tutorial there Duggs! And of course the girls are looking as good as they always do bud! :thumb:

I have always had a thing for knives and in the last year got my first damascus blade. It is definitely the prettiest blade I have and also the sharpest!
Good mornin to ya Yeti. Thanks for looking thru my latest Bubble Hash day.Was a lot of work but i now have some for a while. Cheers.
Now thats a toy I could play with. Damn you Duggs.....getting me all excited n stuff!
Thanks Van...lol..know wat ya mean...love knives too.Have a few Damascus ...they are so cool and depending on wat steels were used can be very durable at holding a nice edge.
Cheers eh...
 
Great mornin to ya'l! Last night , i started my new seeds . They will be two Lemon Skittlez and two Bubba Hash.
I'm excited for this next foursome cuz of the awesomeness of the Bubba and the sheer winningness of the Lemon Skittlez
Both strains should grow and finish in similar time and fashion.
As mentioned , my four A5 crosses are exploding and enjoyin the CD. Cheers gang...enjoy the day!:circle-of-love:
EDIT...FYI gang..i found a fan...it's a Vivosun , 6 inch oscillating ...but its 46 dollars....has anyone used this fan or know if its worth that kinda cash?
EDIT again....ok, just checked more closely ...that fan is also available cheaper , at 30 bucks without that fancy 'pole clamp'. It also comes with just a flat style clamp which is wat i need anyhow...yeepa, just ordered one. I will let everyone know how it works. Cheers.
 
Looking forward to the next grow. I’ve been keen to run Bubba Hash so itll be nice to watch you grow it out.
I love lemon strains so that will be fun too. Cheers!
 
Good morning everyone! OK,..check this out would ya...i'm sittin here and it's Sunday morning at around 10 AM...there's a car door closing out front...it's Amazon delivery of the fan i JUST bought yesterday, NOT even 24 hrs. after i ordered it. The two sped away in a lil car...didn't even have a chance to say thanks...wat odds eh gang!
Fan works good and i will keep everyone updated on it's 29.99 $ performance!
Also , i'm going to adding a small window shaker AC unit (149.00$) to my GR. It's a manual setting unit with about 5000BTU's. Have been researching and talking to my good friend up here who is an AC mechanic (just like Neiko)and he said not to waste my money on one of those bigger , portable expensive units when a lil window shaker will work great for me. I told him i didn't wanna mess with drainage every day and he said most of that water/moisture gets evaporated in the unit and that i would only have to empty a 5 gal, pale every couple months....i made up my mind...gonna go with it. It's a fair amount of work , obviously, as i have to cut a hole in the back area of the grow space for it and can't really do that in the middle of this grow....rats...i sure could use some cooling in there right now...oh well, soon enough. Cheers eh.

Now that is fast delivery.....What kind of fan did you get....that vivosun fan I got seemed to settle in just fine and has been working like a champ. I am thinking about ordering another one soon. My only real complaint is that it doesn't clamp to poles very well...there is a new model for about $15 more that looks better....still debating.

I've been running the exact same vivosun fan as that 24hrs a day for almost 3 week straight . So far Its working great. I do wish the had one more lower setting, and the oscillation motor isnt up to much if the fan is mounted on to steep of an angle it just sits in ine spot and goes clickity clickity clickity clickity. Other than that its a great fan for the price.
