Turning a Picture into a Damascus Pattern

Alec Steele—blacksmith, amateur machinist and all-round metal maker—walks you through the process of turning any image into a stunning Damascus pattern. Along the way he’s hooked up a 10% Squarespace discount (code FORGE), a Discord community, Instagram links for him and Jamie, plus a Patreon for folks who want more behind-the-scenes.

For tunes, he taps Epidemic Sound and SoundStripe (affiliate links help support the channel), and he’s even rounded up his favorite Amazon gear—camera, lenses, mic, tripod, SD card and computer—so you can kit yourself out just like him.
