The forging process/technique in Tool II is very nice. I, for one, would love the Damascus "ringtone" as a ringtone. I just wish this "Blacksmith" was a gunsmith! The work of a true craftsman is always self-evident........ Have a great season, C. http://www.neemantools.com/en/gallery/videos Last edited by C. Kofoed; 09/22/12 11:32 AM.

When he was grinding the edge, you could tell it was hard by the white sparks coming off the wheel. That was probably a higher carbon content piece of steel he added. If you would like to see another amazing film, watch the one on Ytube of the Japanese master making a sword. Unbelievable. Last edited by JDW; 09/22/12 04:45 PM. David

Never have heard any barrel ring so clear and long. That was a great video you posted, C. When an old man dies a library burns to the ground. (Old African proverb)
