Hi all, just wanted to post a fun project I just had to do-engrave into steel and I was surprised that it wasn’t the nightmare I thought it would be These are a pair of roller cinch buckles for a saddle done for the heck of it and try out my newly acquired skills from my GRS course-I’m still amazed at how much I learned and was able to implement-time and money very well spent.
I do have an inquiry for the group someone may be able to help me out with. At the suggestion of a client I am going to purchase Damascus steel to cut some spur rowels out of. I was wondering if there were any thoughts as to how well the steel would take to being drilled and ground away to form the rowel. I’ve never worked with Damascus (or seen it in person for that matter) so just wondered if it would cleave between layers or be overly hard to cut on my band saw etc.-thanks for any advice, I appreciate it.
