It would be fun to have a whole show of people who have never made a knife, but have watched 100+ hours of youtube videos on how to make them...... They could judge by how many hammer dents there are and how crooked and bent the blades are.... That would be a fun show to watch. Who knows, there might just be one or two that produce a nice blade. I've seen some of the 'balde-smiths' on the show turn out some pretty crappy looking stuff that looks like it was made in a High School "Ag Shop".

Do you eyeball your coal forge temperature, or do you use an optical pyrometer?

All I have is some steel rod. Couple sizes of round stuff. I made some plant hangers years ago. Messed with making round into square, twisting it, etc. Only have rudimentary shit to work with. HF anvil, cheap hammers etc. No wrought iron material at all. Bought some borax. But I started on a utensils rack a long time ago. Finally got around to doing a little work on it.  Going to try to make the ends look like leaves, and I gotta make hooks.

Anyone here do any Damascus work? Some of it can look amazing but oh the work involved.

I plan to try my hand at cable damascus..... Lucky you make sure that you twist them after you heat it up so the grains get tighter and it has an easier time welding together for Damascus
