Quick trip to the @discountsteel steel yard where I can’t help myself and buy more than I need. Back in the shop and I tried a few more of the split and welded key eyes. I’m getting close on those but the weld is still more visible than I want it to be. #javosironworks #steel #$ #blacksmith #forge #key #forgewelding #workshop #handmade #madeinminnesota (at North Saint Paul, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1gcSphg7Jf/?igshid=1a7k5310gyuoe

Finally got around to making my first Damascus billet. Yay me! Still have a BUNCH of work to do, but the weld seems good all the way through, which is really gratifying for my first attempt. . . . #blacksmithing #blacksmith #forged #forge #forging #hammer #fire #steel #handmade #metalart #metalwork #metalworker #damascus #damascussteel #patternwelding #paternwelded #damascusblade #forgewelding

More Damascus work this weekend. Making this steel is satisfying but it also takes a ton of time to get everything right. Ive found its important to take your time and keep everything clean and organized. One more cut, stack and weld today....fingers crossed! #javosironworks #damascussteel #damascus #steel #forged #forge #forgewelding #workshop #welding #tools #handmade #pattern #machinery #madeinminnesota (at North Saint Paul, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/B16MZQCg0ps/?igshid=1qodgbhaoolob

Reposting this from our knife making ig account @vmknifeworks . Our first mosaic pattern knife. I followed @maumasifirearts mosaic braid instructions ( thanks!) and surprisingly it all welded properly. Thanks to @knifetalkpodcast for sharing the knowledge! Learning a ton and having a blast doing it. #javosironworks #vmknifeworks #ckmknives #knife #knifemaker #damascus #patternwelded #forged #forgewelding #sharp #blacksmithing #handmadeknife #handmade #steel #madeinminnesota (at North Saint Paul, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br7xuTlDTer/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1l35twei10aij

First try at non chainsaw Damascus. The forge weld went great. One twist and three folds. I can kinda see a pattern in the final piece. Looking forward to that final acid dip to see what I got.#javosironworks #damascus #damascussteel #knife #knifemaking #forge #forgewelding #blacksmith #anvil (at North Saint Paul, Minnesota)

A very fine tomahawk made by @davidlisch with a Damascus edge and a rams head hammer. I got to met David and talk with him a little. Go check out his forge making video and rasphawk videos on his IG highlights. Both are worth your time! #blacksmith #tomahawk #artistblacksmith #handforged #forgewelding #ramshead #damascus #damascuspattern (at NWBA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVY7Tvmv_fG/?utm_medium=tumblr
