Yesterday, I spent the day at Alabama Damascus in Jacksonville, Alabama with Brad Vice and Lacy Smith.
Here are a few pics. This place is power-hammer heaven.
Nice little forge heating up the billets.
The next few are of the welding, cutting (for folding) and stretching the billets.
Pattern pressing a billet.
These are patterned billets ready to be ground to size.
And this is the Blanchard machine they are ground on.
Here are a few finished billets and blades.
A few more misc. shots will be added below.
