Yes. I don't know what everyone is so upset about, the video just shows the manufacturing process of a Damascus steel blade. And they chose to watch it.
The smith was working on multiple billets, but the video kinda made it look like they were working on a singular one. That in turn made it seem like the smith was producing so many layers they would eventually become too thin to distinguish and basically become a homogenous metal with no pattern.
A fault of the video format, really. A longer format would have had space to make it clear there were several billets being worked on.

Doesn't the process of making damascus steel specifically require a lot of repeated mixed in order to produce the layers?
