Tods Workshop | Viking PATTERN WELDING - How To @tods_workshop | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 16 minutes ago
Pattern welding is an amazing and amazingly old process where two different steels are forge welded together and beaten, twisted, folded and generally manipulated to make simple and bold or incredibly complex patterns and an easy way to work things out is to use plasticine of all things! My good friend Owen Bush is a master at pattern welding and earlier this year I went to see a sword he had made 'for' the hero in Song of Steel by JC Duncan.
We made a film all about that, but didn't use all of Owens demonstrations or our chat, so in this film, Owen uses plasticine to work out the patterns first and then moves onto steel.....
The original video about the sword: youtu.be/3Hz-WDYtYCw
You can find J.C.Duncans' excellent book "A Song of Steel" on Amazon or jcduncan.co.uk
