ART1: Preparation of Damascus steel dial
I will show you within the next few days how the damascus steel blocks are getting turned into some cool sandwich dials. Lots´of handworks and expensive tools and procedures are required to transform pure steel into a one of a kind dial.
1)The damascus steel block from my knifemaker was turned down to the required dial diameter. Out of this long damascus steel block the single 0.40mm thick dials are cutted.
2) Picture two shows the 0.40mm thick dial cutted out of this block. Looks very unspectacular right now.

- The third picture shows the dials after just a few minutes of etching to confirm the dials are having the right pattern and structure. On the left side there you see the damascus pattern called "explosion damascus" and on the right the "chess damascus". The explosion damascus steel dials will from now being processed.
