good tip about the rotating when drilling

What size copper rivets do you use?

thx for sharing. Fascinating

Really enjoyed it. Thanks for not playing loud music. Would like to hear a little conversation though but that’s OK. Did you make the copper bowl?

Great work

Here people think he is forging a hammer and selling them lol

Thanks for making such a concise video Josh. Just curious what glue do you like to use to affix the blade and split dowel once you're done carving the handle? Thx

👌🏻

A true hand craftsman

Wish ànyone playing Bladesmith would check out for suggestions as to build with known steel for the project such as 01 or 1095 and suggestions for quenching oils. Don't just make videos that doesn't teach correctly. Sorry I just wasted to much work on junkie steel building tool just better than the Chinese and 3rd world nations

Trying to learn Looking at your replies.... I wouldn't expect any answers.. No Question from me😅

To much shop noise I've my own shop noise to deal with

Nice to see how it is done.

i found that inspiring. i love the loook of hammered copper like that . i think i will put wooden handle on one

I don’t have a stake, I’ll have to make, of get one. I made our copper fruit bow using an oak stump, a portion of 20oz copper, and a pvc hammer.. Thanks for the vid.

6:14… great toe/foot grip bruh…😊

Im in boots nearly 10-12 hours a day… asap, no shoes… I’ll continue watching..😀

Seriously… 2 seconds in… barefoot brother…

how does the handle stay attached? after you burn the tang into the wood, do you use epoxy? do you line the tang w leather and then use epoxy? just curious as to how it doesn't just come apart

Outstanding work looks great

I want one of your blades ,ASAP! !!

que buen trabajo

All of that effort for a mystery steel. You should have made one out of 1045 stock, then you could have respected yourself in the morning by producing a quality hammer. You basically polished a turd. Nice job.

Good stuff Josh. great video

For anyone doing this for the first time-I recommend using dry wood (not green wood) for handles. Additionally it is good to know that handles can be removed/replaced easily with a single axe strike. 😊

Excellent, as usual Josh. I have a few of your handles and like every one of them. One esp. sticks out, a Bocote' handle and I'm going to talk to you about that one when my blade wears down too far! Hoping you can heat her up and sweat it out/replace the blade.... She's a favorite! ~ Whittlestix

Thanks for this. Timely. I need to handle some blades for the first time.

Baker je čudovita kovina.

Добрый день,какая марка стали и при какой температуре происходила закалка

What about the HANDLE !!! 😁

Just tried this for the first time and using another piece of metal worked great I was really stressed to get it right and it worked perfectly thank you

relaxing to watch. work of art

Why are you intentionally fucking up the back of the spines?

respect!

Nicely done. Great repurpose. Thanks for sharing the process.

That coffee scoop is a thing of beauty!

You make it look easy.what size is your copper round.wood Luke to try.thanks

QUESTION what type of steel 🤔 Thanks for showing

What thickness or weight of copper is being used here? Just became #667 subscriber.

Hi great job..what was the steel you used ? what rockwell hardness was it to start with ..cheers

Stunning work, mate. How thick is the copper you're using?

Excellent

Fine looking work.

Fascinating presentation. Approaching 80 so I find these simple, basic methods quite relaxing to watch. Thank you.

Interesting hobby.

I just received one of these yesterday, to find this video today is amazing! You’re craftsmanship Is top tier!

Man ! I wish I had a press 😕 Great video though 👍🏽

That was a cool video Thank you

Man what a gorgeous anvil. I am having such a hard time finding a suitable anvil that I can afford. Trying to get started blacksmithing, studying everything I can while I gather necessary tools Nice anvil and work ✊⚒️

Handsome work! Search on KZfaq for how to make and use a tucking fork - it's used in auto and motorcycle body sheet metal forming. I suspect you could get the initial bowl formed more efficiently using this technique.
