Forging a Damascus Ring

I had the opportunity to spend some time with my good friends Nate Runals, in whose shop this was filmed, and Robert Burns of Wilderness Ironworks who guided me through the process of forging a damascus, silver lined ring. The steel is 18 layers of alternating wrought iron and 15n20 nickel steel. For a detailed photo tutorial and excellent written explanation of the process, please visit this link to the Bladesmith's Forum where Robert describes his process.
