Yep

Interesting.

One thing you'll run into also is that over the last century, there's even some guns from the early half of the century that you can't run modern loads through because the powders of today are too hot for the old guns

I'll never engrave another rifle again

You should experiment with acid etching

I'll just stain the wood and blue the barrel

I’m a fascist

That wasn’t random..

If you know your way around a forge and acid etching, you can make stuff like this

That looks so good

How is that possible

Ok, so ERB posted the rap battle between Joe Biden and Trump

It's called "Damascus steel." The process on how to make it was rediscovered recently on accident

Goddammit, Joe kinda slapped in it

Also hello, good evening/morning/afternoon/whatever

Two or more alloys of steel are repeatedly folded over one another at forging temperatures, then allowed to cool and acid etch

And it absorbs it??

The pattern and the design that you see are the result of the two alloys etching at different rates

The acid eats away at the surface of the steel

Oh

If I ever engrave something again I'll just stick to doing it by hand

They make some cool knives like that too

hello

Anyone watched the light house ?
