Cable Damascus Tutorial?

Howdy Folks

Looking for a tutorial on making some cable damascus. I did a search but didn't find what I need. I have a couple pieces of 1940 something cable I have been sitting on and am feeling the need to make a billet or two

Thanks
Danny

I've found several videos on YouTube about Cable Damascus. Tried it myself a couple times. Biggest thing I would suggest is properly heating the cable and fluxing. Light tapping the ends to start the weld is key to this process, figured that out after ruining my first piece.
