3: That’s me working the hot steel in the press to develop the W’s pattern. You can check out another of Rick Dunkerly’s articles, this time on Damascus Pattern Development, here:
www.blademag.com/forum/topics/how-to-create-damascus
Here is an Excerpt from the above link, specifically on
“How to Make the "W's" Pattern”:
“One of the more advanced patterns includes the “W’s” pattern. The initial billet is stacked just like a flat-layered billet, and welded. Then, during the drawing process, the billet is rotated 90 degrees and forged into a rectangular bar with vertical layers. This bar is then ground free of scale, cut into pieces and re-stacked.
When the second weld sequence is complete, the layers remain vertical. This bar is then cut again and restacked for the third weld sequence. If the ends of these pieces are etched, they will reveal vertical layers that are distorted and starting to form the “W’s.” The third weld sequence will distort the layers even more and make the “W’s” much more dramatic. Any layer count works well on this pattern, and any of the other patterning techniques, including twists, ladders, raindrops and even accordions, help to further expose the pattern.”
Do check out the aforementioned link to learn more about pattern development…
Once my W’s pattern is developed, I draw the bar out and cut it into 2 equal sections. From there I’m going to twist the 2 sections in opposite directions…
iPod nano, introduced September 7, 2005 to the Apple portable media player lineup. Emphasizing its small size in advertising the nano was smaller in size than iPod mini that it was replacing. The nano was released with a color screen, the signature click wheel and flash memory instead of a hard drive. Songs and photos could be synched over USB 2 (not FireWire) cable. The iPod nano was available in white and black and either 1 GB, 2 GB, or 4 GB capacity.

1: This is where it starts: 2 different piles of steel pieces.
One is 1084, which is a steel with .84 % carbon and .9 %manganese. The addition of manganese makes it deep-hardening steel and turns it darker after etching, allowing for more contrast with the lighter 15N20 steel. 15N20 is basically 1075 with 2-to-3 % nickel, which results in extra toughness and gives it the quality of resisting etching, resulting in a silver layer almost as bright as pure nickel. This combination of materials welds easily and can be manipulated extensively. Blades made of 1084 and 15N20, if heat-treated properly, cut extremely well and are extremely tough.

Hello, My name is John Lewis Jensen, and I've been making high-end Art Knives since 1994.
This project, entitled “ALCHEMY”, is one of those projects I started many years ago (2004), but which ended up on the back burner until 2012, when I re-commenced it.
This project encompasses almost everything I’ve learned over 20+ years. It covers jewelry, sculpture, metalwork, knifemaking and machining. Specifically, techniques used are forging, machining, drilling, milling, inlays, cold connections, sanding, filing, precision measurements, trouble shooting, blade grinding, finishing, heat treating, tempering, blade sharpening, polishing, masking, etching, nitre-bluing, multi-color anodizing, stone setting, gold leafing, word work, laser engraving, etc. Materials used, include Titanium, Damascus Steel, Timascus, Fossil Ivory, Carbon Fiber, Abalone, & Super Conductor.
The 1st several dozen photos were actually posted on my old website back in May of 2005, and which I believe was the 1st knifemaking WIP ever posted on a website. Part of this project was also published in “Blades Guide to Knife Making”, Vol. 1.
Knifemaking is still a very underground art, so I set out to create the “Ultimate Behind the Scenes Look”, in hopes that by sharing the creation of one of my pieces, it helps to elevate the overall craft. I have left NOTHING out! The results are a 400+ hour, completely hand-made Art Knife, documented by over 1100 step-by-step, sequential photos, and over 20 videos, each with a full descriptive caption. I hope you enjoy!
A few simple things I ask for in return:
1.Please, do NOT flat out copy my work. If you are influenced, that’s fine, but make it your own, and please give credit where credit is due.
2.Even if my work is not your cup of tea, please be respectful.
3.If you really get something out of this, please consider making a PayPal donation to: john@jensenknives.com
Questions and comments are certainly welcome. Enjoy, and please share this project with anyone that you think might be interested in seeing it.

Detective Modder on the lightspot again!
Previously I whined about SSIL that didn't work and I didn't know how to make it works, why it happened only to me was unknown until today..
Here what I discovered:
if you start the game with ambientocclusion=false, and then you activate it through GUI of Toggler you will only see SSAO work, but not SSIL.
You basically have to restart the game with ambientocclusion on "true" to see either SSAO and SSIL. Or at least this is what was wrong with my configuration.
I have to thank jay and its Goddess ENB to make me discover this mistery, since I forgot to set ambientocclusion to false and I found out testing its config and its values :)
P.S new eyes for Aurindiel from Iridum Eyes, less "humans" but more elvish :)
The peach and apple jam was good too! Made with very ripe white peaches from Aunt Lee Geok's garden.

Giving mum's breadmaker a trial run before committing to one of our own.
The bread, fresh from the breadmaker was heavenly! It filled the house with the fragrance of yeasty fresh bread in the oven. The texture was fluffy but firm, unlike typical supermarket bread.
The bread was a little sunken in the middle, and a little too moist. According to the troubleshooting tips, there was probably too much liquid.
Judging the results of this attempt, I think we need one :)
I noticed with my new Peek, it would turn off when being set down. After some rigorous troubleshooting (which mostly consisted of dropping my Peek from various heights onto my bed), it seemed that the battery has some "rattle room" between it and the battery cover.
My simple hack was to tape a piece of index card over the battery pack to make sure that it was held down securely by the battery cover. The tape makes a nice hinge so the battery can be removed as normal, and holds the index card in place while putting on the cover. Simple and non-destructive, something I'm not normally known for.

Apple portable media players have included ones such as the iPod nano (second generation) produced from 2006 - 2009. These players were and are the midrange model in Apple's iPod family of products. The first generation was introduced in 2005 and allowed for those who did not already own an iPod a version that was cost effective but not lacking in functions. The second generation has flash memory and features a scratch-resistant, anodized aluminum casing similar to the previous generation. The display is 40% brighter on this version and the color of the button labels does not match the color of the nano. The 4GB version was sold in green, blue, silver and pink.
It was confirmed today, it's a bad motor!
We should see the replacement here in a week or so.
In the meantime this one is still doing the job.

Any hexar rf owners ever seen this? I was using the camera tonight until it inexplicably stopped working... shutter would not fire, could not "force" rewind, and the number 10 (probably the frame I was on) was flashing on and off in the display. This video was shot with both batteries and film removed. I was attempting to reboot the system but as you can see, even without a power source the display keeps flashing and the motor will not drive in any direction. Any advice would be much appreciated. I was in "single" shot mode when this happened. I've taken the lens off and there doesn't appear to be any visible problem with the curtain. Note that the power switch is in the "off" position as well.
The Apple portable media player, iPod sixth generation, was introduced in September 2008 with the “Classic” suffix the received a new interface design and an anodized aluminum front plate. The hardware and the firmware were updated with a 120GB model, replacing a previous 80GB model and the 160GB model was later discontinued. The one depicted is a 160GB model.

16: The raw material for "ALCHEMY": the Jensen forged Damascus blade, CP grade Titanium handle slab (double-disc ground to match the same precision thickness of the blade), a large sheet of 1/16" (.0063) thick 6al4v grade Titanium for the liners, two rectangles of "Timascus" (pattern welded Titanium), a large oval slice of Copper/Ti/Ni Superconductor (as exotic as it gets! The “Superconductor” slice is a remnant copper/titanium/niobium conductive wire from the super-collider project, built, but later abandoned before completion by the US Government in the 90's. Made from a matrix of titanium and niobium wires pulled thru a copper core, superconductor was (going to be) used to move electricity in the particle accelerator. (I got this from a guy who purchased all the leftover material from the government) In addition, for the handle scales; a fossil Walrus Ivory Eskimo artifact that was once used as a sled runner, and multiple copies of the original drawing of "ALCHEMY". In addition, I’m also going to be incorporating some Carbon Fiber. You can see the blade in conjunction to the drawing is semi-forged to shape.

2: Here are the different steels set up in a basic alternating pattern. There are a lot of options that you can make at this point that will effect the overall look of the Damascus, including a different layer count as well as different steel thicknesses, as well as introducing additional steels or pure nickel.
Here a handle has been tack welded on, which is what I’ll use to hold the piece as I’m hot working it. The ends of the loose pieces have also been tack welded together. Later, the welded ends will be cut off and discarded.
Next the assembly gets put into a forge and heated to forge welding temp. From there the piece gets fluxed which will keep impurities from forming, and the assembly goes next into a press or hammer for the initial forge weld. Once the layers are forge-welded, the end is cut off to remove the initial tack-welded area so that no dirty metal gets mixed into the steel

66: Everything is re-tapped, if needed, to blend threads and then it is screwed together. Having liners on the backside for now, allows access to the top, flat, parallel surface area of the blade and handle core.
Can you see what's wrong with this picture?
A couple weeks ago the Things started complaining that the Wii was broken. It wouldn't read discs. They would get pulled in, but then a big spinning "?" would come up on the screen.
I did some troubleshooting: clean the disc, try another, try another, clean again, hit eject a bunch of times… The discs go in, but shining a light in there and listening carefully, I don't see nor hear spinning. Not good.
I'm just about ready to resign myself to the fact that the DVD reader has cacked out ($$$) and ready to figure out it where to get it repaired when Thing 3 confesses to having had an urge to "play a butterfly game".
In order to make his fantasy a reality, he took one of the butterfly stickers off his sister's wall, and promptly inserted it in the Wii thinking that this would naturally cause a fantastical butterfly game to spew forth from the TV which he would then be able to magically play. Nintendo made this sort of thing very easy by designing the Wii to automatically grab and injest pretty much anything that gets within a foot of the disc slot. It's like a supergravity vortex. :/
So I take a look at opening the sucker up. Ok, here's a baby Phillips screw, there's another screw… wait a tick... what the heck kind of screw head is that? Triwing? WTF? Ugh…
I learned long ago that the best place to buy weird things is eBay. So I order a triwing screwdriver for 99 cents (free shipping!) and it finally arrived today. I also learned long ago that someone somewhere has usually figured out how to do something long before I have had a need or desire to do that something. They have also undoubtedly promptly written a web article or shot a YouTube video of said feat to prove their genius. So I Google up "open a wii" and find several walkthroughs on how to open the sucker up without ruining it.
Needless to say, we've had a chat with the kids about what's acceptable (Wii game discs) and what's NOT acceptable (anything that is NOT a Wii game disc) to insert in the Wii console. :)
Oh, it's fixed. Yay. Just in time for Thing 2 to enjoy her "DanceDance something-or-other" game that she's getting for Christmas. (mental note, don't let her see this pic)

i’m troubleshooting the leaking oil in the galaxy 500 and my first thought is that a deteriorated valve cover gasket is causing the problem. the engine exhaust doesn’t smell sweet and there’s no oil in the radiator fluid so it’s unlikely to be a head gasket issue.
when i went to the local auto parts store, the guy behind the counter said he’d love to sell me a valve cover gasket ( only $20 ) but asked if i had tightened down the valve cover bolts recently.
"uh, nope. and to be honest i couldn’t remember when i would have thought to tighten them."
"give it a try. i’ve seen valve covers so loose that oil starts seeping out."
i went home and sure enough the valve cover bolts were so loose that i almost couldn’t believe the covers stayed on! i was sure that had to be the cause of the leak since the oil seemed to be coming in out of the bolt hole that had one of the loosest bolts. it couldn’t be a coincidence!
so i tightened the bolts, cleaned up the oil that leaked on the block and started the engine.
the result? the oil was pouring out of the same area faster than ever! what was going on? i couldn’t quite tell because it was hard to watch the oil leak and start the car at the same time but it didn’t take too long to figure it out.
My last set of oil pressure troubleshooting steps and the plastic chunk that ended up causing the whole ordeal.
