a foot of 5160 costs only five dollars, wish he'd used it instead of something that wont harden...all that work....

Thanks 👍

IDK, apparently he doesn't know how to hit with a hammer. Real (blade) smith uses hammer and anvil, he doesn't need belt grinders etc at all. File and possibly angle grinder is more than enough

Jacob Drescher yes

Glad you liked it!

thanks

You can say that again

Thanks but i'm not a bladesmith, just a jobbing blacksmith.

Joel, looked you up on master bladesmith regerster. Couldn't find you.?

aint gonna go better with him forging galvanized metals

Are you one of those idiots that thinks galvanised is bad for you? Do your research! www.dropbox.com/s/1i8v2djczr11f9g/WeldingGalvanized.pdf?dl=0

Only dumb one here is you ya old fart do your fucking research before you say its fine. have you heard of Metal Fume Fever? that shit comes from vaporizing zinc and various other chemicals off of metal you dumb bitch calling me idiot when you are the influencer that tells his audience that galvanized metal is not bad

Heisen not such a big mouth now 🧚‍♀️

Gary Huston i read the article and wow i gotta admit i was an idiot irs just that im a beginner and all these big youtube blacksmitsh fearmonger sometimes going as far as saying you die instantly. apologies sir i hope we can put this aside. and i wish you the best again im really sorry

Glad you enjoyed it

Boogers and Cum i

And they were used by paras in ww2 savage blade

Hardly stoned - Correct When living near Canterbury England , I met a man whose father made various types of blades for British soldiers during WW2 . His father was partially crippled and on crutches . His dad couldn't be in the military due to his medical condition , but still made blades and tools from common materials which he gave to troops . He was also a member of the home guard .

@@QuantumMechanic_88 should do a few videos man

Hardly stoned - Wish I would have made a video talking to this guy about his dad and looking at a few blades his dad made . I made 2 videos of concrete and stone pillboxes in south England . Used to have 3 videos on knife making before going to private videos .

@@QuantumMechanic_88 sure i suppose it has to be done aswell haha, ive started forging using a half krg sand a hoover and a rail track.

Rubbish, do your research. www.dropbox.com/s/1i8v2djczr11f9g/WeldingGalvanized.pdf?dl=0

العرب في كل مكان صدق

From someone who has worked in a steel mill in the US, I can tell you that it is not hit and miss. Each batch of rebar is made to order, and there are many different grades. Each batch has a coupon cut off and the metallurgy is checked. The customer can specify what grade they want. This ranges from very low grade to very high grade metal. The stuff that is meant to be threaded for bridges or the nuclear industry's are very good stuff - it will weld and forge very well, while the stuff sold at home improvement stores is normally very low grade made for reinforcing small non-structural areas like driveways and porches. The stuff sold to the nuclear industry comes with a 3/8" thick packet of paper with all the metallurgy for that exact batch. It is checked at the mill, and again at the plant that cuts, bends, forms, or threads the bar before being shipped to the customer. Bridge grade comes with about 1/4 inch packet, normally only provided to the plant that cuts and bends the bar before being delivered to the customer. Home improvement rebar stuff is normally not worth a s#!t and will probably not forge very well either, very brittle and prone to chipping out if made into a chisel. By the way, same goes for rail road spikes. Normally, there are 2 grades. First is very nice to work with, strong, hard but not very brittle. Other is much softer, weaker and will not hold an edge no matter what you try. It all depends on what the railroad company wants to spend, and where the spikes will be used.

bsb0011 wow, that is awesome that you know this! I am getting into the hobby, and i was actually thinking about using rebar for my first couple items. Thank you for sharing this info!

طيط 🔪

He was just stupid, if you burn that amount of anything the fumes will kill you!

Be that as it may... It's best not to speak ill of the dead.

They're dead. I'm sure they'll find away to move on and bury it. Pun intended.

OverNightGamers ....well. let's just get it out in the open , that you were in bad form and demonstrating to the rest of KZfaq that , yes you do indeed have just a small lump where your 'whatsis' oughta be.. Nil nisi bonum.

Kira Morgan go for it girl! You’re never too young to start!

Kira Morgan hey my two oldest daughters have forged their own knives. Older one at about 15 second oldest at 11. My two younger girls are waiting for their turn

K R Knfmkr wow really!? What kind of tools do they use because because I literally have close to nothing, but I can get some metal or get PLENTY of wood 😊👍P. S. I'm also from the UK (Wales) so we probably have the same supply.

Kira Morgan I am a blacksmith so they used my tools. But for a beginner a 2-3 pound hammer and a large block of steel for an anvil works. Railroad rails make an excellent anvil; the top is hardened for wear resistance.

K R Knfmkr thank you 😊😊

Trace hooks, shackles, S hooks are all good practice. They combine upsetting, punching drifting and hammer control.

@@garyhuston I like men

Thank you so much 😊

They are for pretensioning, i know this because we used to have to do it all the time when we were pouring footings we would always crank em till they couldn't move inside the forms then call the concrete trucks in

Luckily Rebar has some nice grips on it already

bc65925 e

awesome! did you come up with that saying yourself?

Pfff

Wrong! www.dropbox.com/s/1i8v2djczr11f9g/WeldingGalvanized.pdf?dl=0

Gary Huston interesting

I’d tread cautiously because there are a lot of contradicting articles and even if it’s true excessive exposure still cannot be good

@@garyhuston better safe than sorry!

Terrence Calnimptewa is that sarcasm?😂

Or you just trying to get hearted by him?

RC - Totally agree . Rebar is obviously not a first choice for a blade which needs edge retention , but a combat blade only needs to work for 5 seconds maximum . This dagger will punch holes in an adversary all day long . After 5 seconds = game over . Using method called Case Hardening with low carbon steel is a different story .

There's no galvanized rebar here in Mexico either, but they're heat-treatable.

What's this galvanized steel, I hear it's toxic if you heat it up or something

Don’t listen to gossip, it’s rubbish. It will make you feel unwell but it’s harmless..

Like what and why?

I was told not to forge stainless steel and galvanized metals

Why?

@@garyhuston toxic fumes

Lol!

I'm asking that myself

I'd look for scrap building materials
