Review this video!
In this video, ABS Mastersmith Ed Caffrey will show you some of the most common Mosaic Damascus patterns. The information is designed to be easy to understand, and will allow you to take the "next logical step" towards producing your own Mosaic Damascus. Ed covers how to create a radial pattern, a basket weave pattern, a jelly roll pattern, and how to do an "accordion" fold. This video, at almost two hours, also provides a recap of tools, safety, and etching as explained in the previous two videos. If you're interested in how Mosaic Damascus is produced, this is the video for you.
Note: This video is for advanced knifemakers and shows methods using a forge and a hydraulic press.

Ed, explains things in such a manner that even a beginner understands. He is such a talented knife maker.
Ed Caffrey made the mysterious understandable in this video. This was a great how-to on making complex patterns that have boggled my mind for a while. It also sold me on the usefulness of a hydraulic press. Although the sound got a little wonky at times, with the roar of the forge drowning out Ed, the producers did add subtitles here and there. Sometimes you have to look hard to find anything worthwhile in a video, but not this one. From hydraulic press design/safety to mosaic techniques, I learned a lot.
Great info very understandable, very useful, not so great sound but great info. I would not recommend it for the first blacksmith video to watch but if you have even done a little blacksmithing this is great.
Great! Thanks for sharing! This is a very instructive DVD.
