QUOTE: if anyone has any tips on this they can offer i would appreciate it
Yes, my tip is to not concern yourself with complex patterns at this time. Cut and stack one more time if you want to but then make your blade and finish it. This is Random pattern and it is very common and popular.
As with the forge and to a lesser extent with the anvil you're trying to do too much too fast. Make a blade with your damascus. Doing that will show you the quality of your damascus and illustrate any problems you might be having before you spend a lot more time and materials to find the same problems (if any) ....
