“Hey Dad, what you doing?” Sounds like a happy family, that’s worth so much, good on you !! Nice knife too, can’t wait to see how it turns out. Regards from Down Under.

I like the respiration filter, I tune in to MichaelCthulhu as well!

So cool that you don’t just show videos of complete success. Thanks for letting us learn along with you from mistakes. We’ll done. Appreciate the video

Hey dad! Thats so awesome bro. Can't wait to see you teach your kiddos on how to make blades. Its something I wish I would have done.

I see so many vids of people just holding their work in the drill press vs using a clamp to hold it. Nice work, I always just cringe and wait for the helicoptering.

Looking great! Looking forward to part 2.

that's going to be a sweet knife!

Hi dad!! You should be saying hi back!! Maybe you didn't hear him

Always remember that when pattern welding all of the metal from the INSIDE OUT must be at a weldable tempurature. And the outside will tend to be hotter than the inside. You have to leave the metal in the fire long enough to heat all of the metal to the right temperature. But if the fire is too hot or you leave the metal in the fire too long the outside can be come too hot or scorch and you can get weak or brittle spots once you start folding the metal or welding it. I have Blacksmiths in my family and have training as a blacksmith myself, and this is one of the things I was taught and have learned.

De-burring is incredibly satisfying

old parmesan cheese containers work good for sprinkling borax

I love the look of many small pins vs fewer larger ones

Great watch. Artistry!

Glad to see new videos. Been missing em.

Excellent video, way better & more in depth info than any forged in fire show period. I've been stock removal over the years using old L6 sawmill blades & heat treating at the end. I would incourage anyone that recognizes the value of a good blade should try their hand at making their own knife & sheath. 🤙

I already know I want this knife! I've been extremely busy filling orders lately. Tis the season

I love the press at the higher height.

I like the multiple pin patterns. Historically they didnt have the adhesives we have now, so pinnage was a way to increase the handle holding strength.

What a beautiful machine, it would be a dream come true to acquire a power hammer like that. Looks like you treat her well!

Super Video 👍

I understand using "buzz words" in your title but appreciate you referring to it right in the video.

Glad to see I’m not the only one that welds on his knees😂😂

I'm trying to get an old style little giant powerhammer, approximately 50 pairs of tongs, and an old coal forge that the family has no interest in. Hopefully the man comes up with an agreeable price.

You really got the use of the power hammer under controle fast. Also like the setup with the power hammer and the press next to each other, looks like a good workflow setup

I found your channel via Panhandle Hermit

very impressive

Looking good!

Very informative video. I enjoyed learning from your instruction and experience

hola me gustó el video saludo: 🤜🤛👍👊💪

Nice,

I would love to see someone make canister Damascus out of machinist chips.

That looks like it is going to be a beautiful blade buddy!

good job

Thank you

More experimental stuff planned?

Seeing that you had the delamination issue because of the 1/4" pieces. Would it still be possible to get it to work if you had done a few smaller billets getting the 1/4" pieces forge welded and then stacking up the different billets and forge welding them together so that you would have been able to achieve what you were trying?

I be willing to bet if you made up alot of bar stock it would sell like hotcakes. Let people build their own knives that doesn’t own a forge and hydraulic press. 🤔 just thinking out loud

It seem a lot of forgers don't press or hammer the ends of their billet. Is that normal

That's a really wide skinning knife. What is it meant to skin?

So only 52100 steel was used?

👍👍🙏

Try kerosene, isn't it filtered alot more.

Do you have any plans for your hydraulic press?

Watch shurp he has it down

Doesn’t WD-40 contain silica? Does this have any effect on the end Damascus.

Did I miss the whole process of drawing out the steel with repeated hammering?

Do you combine cold roll steel with hot roll steel

Weren't you supposed to weld the layers together I'm not an expert or anything I don't know but I thought I've always seen people weld them together

omg the magnet on with sander i'm so dumb :/

ya mean bison horn? north america doesnt have buffalo. since you are in texas,you should know that.🤦‍♂️

Ur mistake was ur forge welds. No hotdog weld on edge. Hamburger everything air shall not pass

It's kind of a shame to pattern weld 52100.

a

That's not how shurap does it..... i don't think you know what you're doing, that's probably why your welds are coming apart

정말 수엽하고 대장간 아저씨네

NO. Should be 1 video. Don't drag it out. Not worth watch

Is it important for you to do voiceovers?? Honestly this makes your videos boring. Just some friendly advice. I don't mean to disrespect but that my honest opinion. What i mean is you need to improve on your voiceovers.

This ain’t real damascus

👎

Everybody that makes knives finish them in one video what's up with you how many videos we got to watch? I just unsubscribed

i just got my press done and used it for 1st time today made a billet 52100 and 15n20 press is working good have a few bugs to work out mainly small leak here and there was a fun project will send you pics Mark 😃 do you have a email i can send to?
