Let's get rolling. Thanks to Megabot for the photos when I'm working.

11 alternating layers of 52100 and 15n20
Mig welded
Forge welded
Ground off initial welds

Great pic MegaBot!
Are you related to Megatron? Either way, I've got your back!
Seriously though, Great pic!
Thanks!

I then stacked, drew it out to make it 44 layers, cooled, ground off the scale, chopped, welded and ready for another session. This will make 176 layers.

Then twist, hammer...
 
Great WIP! Also, mega-superb photos.
 
Skipped a few photos steps...:O
Drew the bar out, twisted, forged, annealed, and profiled.
Now grinding the bevel before thermal cycling and heat treat.

Thanks Cliff, I'm having too much fun! :running:

The parer needs a pal. Another 52100/15n20 and 250x55mm gyuto:

Forgive my ignorance, Ian, but why do you grind the bevels before HT? As your bevels will be so small, I don't understand. By the way, superb photos indeed.

Thanks! The bevels are partially ground so I don't have as much steel to take off post HT. It saves time and belts - hardened steel snaaaaaacks on belts. :hungry:
