The BEST Ladder pattern damascus Forge Press Dies

In this video I will test a pair of ladder pattern Damascus dies for my forge press that I made off camera. I spared you the cutting and welding, but I go through how they are made then I forge out a 240-layer billet of 15N20 and 1084 and test them. This method of making dies is simple and easy to do. No milling or machining is required. A little cutting and welding and you can make a set pretty easily.
