    Here are some pics of what to expect in the Damascus class. I spent a couple hours at Mikes workshop today and asked him to set up a "stack" so you guys could see what will be worked on. Please note that we will be doing this, not Mike.


    25 layers of 1095 and 15N20

    I like that. Do you get better patterns from the amperage or the voltage and is DC flux better than AC flux?

    OK, I'll be quiet now.
