waaaaaw❤😊

i used this for 1084 blades. it didnt darken it too much but as i left it longer than 10 mins it started to eat a bit into the metal. the 1084 was a bit uneven and motley after ht that wouldnt sand out too well. as a result after the acid wash the blade almost looked like a damascus with a patchy uneven appearance that wasnt too bad. after stonewash there wasnt a lot of wash feature but enough to get the idea of what had been done. blade could have been darker and wash feature could have been more pronounced. i think it was an inherent problem with the 1084 bar stock more than anything else.

This was a phenomenal video. I've purchased few pre-ground blades and made the handles and sheaths, but you've given me the confidence to finally try a blade.

chainmail lol they're not dangerous at all if you use them properly and treat them with respect

Kano wins!

Well explained 👍

Was just wondering how I was going to solve any warps from first time quenching, and came across this vid linked on homemadetools. Just after having looked at a woodworking vice and wondering how to go about straightening a blade with it! Could not be better timing.

Very nicely done. Thanks for sharing

awesome video mate. heat treated my first 1084 knife (made using your other videos) and about to temper! Cheers mate

Great video thanks, you don't need expensive gear to make a great knife as you've shown. I still make a few myself with very little but yeah, love your work.

You should offer in person courses with like 3 people at a time I’d love to learn more about knife making and start making them for family and friends also, your work is very quality 👍🏼

I built a 2x72 for $35 for my second knife. Treadmill and skate board wheels. I later did spend 40 bucks on a proper set or wheels. It is different from every one else online.. It has Jack shart and the motor is geared down 2-1. 7200 motor cut in half about a 4 in drive for the sander belt it runs about 3,600fps like most real belt grinders. It has profiled a lot of blades in those 7 to 8 years ago. Even have a 10 in profile wheel made from a rubber wheel tire 2 in wide. I made a walnut pipe today I turned on the lathe but I used that grinder on it. I use it to sharpen my hss turning tools too. Very seldom a day goes by it is not on. It has ran as much as 4 hrs straight more times than I can count. People can take little and make something nice. You just need a little know how. When you see a 2 x 72 up close there is nothing to them. Any one here with very limited welding skills and a $100 stick welder or a $120 wire feed flux core welder can make one. Nice build and good way to show you can do it on the cheap. I use to heat treat and forged in my smoker. Get a hot fire and I welded a pipe with some slits in it under the fire box and use a old leaf blower to get the stell up to forge weld temp no problem. Then I still use the gas grill to temper to this day. I just watched to much damn forged in fire season 1 and I had to try. I seen that dude use a cast iron skillet as a forge more or less. I was like damn man anyone can do this. I need to get back to it

You have to love the vise in a vise. Lol I get you was trying to make a point of you sing the cheap tools but that was funny

Those PAPR's are comfortable. My company is soon launching MicroClimate Air3, should be more accessible to the hobbyist. The design uses a monocoque manifold design, it should end up 1/2 the price of 3M. Can we share one with you to compare when we get certification?

Приветствую. Сам занимаюсь ножами, но только более масштабно. Видео интересное, виден профессионализм. Вы большой молодец. Всё же гриндер не помешал бы 😁

What is the style of the knife in the video?

i'd like to point out that if you have a granite slab or pane of glass to use as a reference flat, you can glue or tape your sand paper down at the edge to sharpen your knife, works great for chisels and plane irons too

Thanks for detailed video! Quick question to you. How do you clean filters, by the way?

Beauty knife, well explained 👍

How thick is the blank steel on this knife?

How think is the blank steel you used on this knife?

Great Video n Idea behind IT.... Started Out Like that but wouldnt do it Like that again....would buy a cheap beltgrinder to Speed Things Up. Although with Files U learn patience.good Thing when IT comes to knifemaking 😅

Thie is an AWESOME tutorial!!! Thank you for doing this!!!!

way too complicated

Un grand merci pour ta vidéo ! J'ai beaucoup appris comme dans ta première vidéo pour débutant. Encore merci et à bientôt !

I completely understand, agree with, and relate to your sentiments of always spending more money in Harbor Freight than planned! 😂

Thank you red beard i m from italy

A safe moving company would be a fraction of the price but, really nice work!

Another excellent video! I sourced my granite “surface plate” from a local memorial shop that makes gravestone markers. They had many nice size “falloff” pieces that they were happy to sell me. Mine is 12” x 18” x 1” and I was charged $20 😊

I just found this beautiful rebuild of a lathe I've had since 1996. It was my father-in-laws, and his father and bought prior to WW II. I have almost all the original equipment that came with it including the extra set of gears and the woodworking plate. I need a larger chuck as mine is only 6 inches across the face. I agree with one of the prior comments that this is newer than 1937 as mine was purchased in 1938 and that is the date on the original users manual. The motor mount is of models in the late 40's or early 50's, if not later. Also the original color was a battleship gray. Whoever did the prior rehap, painted it the blue and the Craftsman plate was red with black raised letters. I also agree with a prior comment to use the direction option built on the lathe so the direction won't unscrew the chuck off the main shaft or the jawed chuck off. Mine is still original from the 30's due to the care of my FIL and his dad. Being family owned and used has kept it in great shape and I'm learning more on it every time I use it. I just wish my FIL was still here to guide me along in learning more than what I have now as he was a master machinist. I retired from the Air Force in 1997 and we returned to Pittsburgh, PA in October. We lost my FIL in 2000.and I never had time to set it up correctly until recently for a project. I've watched a lot of CZcams videos to try and fill the gap and enjoyed your rebuild greatly. Thanks! MSgt David R. Smyth, USAF, Ret.

That's a beautiful blade you made and the handle is nuttin to sneeze at either brother, just found out about your channel and subscribed 🇺🇲😎🙏🗡️⚔️🔪🗡️

Great video!

Good job brother. I use several harbor freight tools. Mostly grinding wheels, clamps etc.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! LOWER the Vertical Blade Guide closer to the work piece! RTFM for your band saw. 1/4" to 3/8" above the work piece. This prevents the blade from warping or breaking.

I hope you didn't use Pittsburgh Tools. some of the best out there .They have never failed me. And they are less expensive than the name brands. Oh. You're just using the TOOLS, not forging files or wrenches.

Great to see the enginnering skills move through the family generations. Rob

Brilliant job. Well done - more to follow please.....Rob

Great concept and great project/video.

Hermoso trabajo. Ahora lo que jamas entiendo es porque desperdiciar tanto adhesivo.😬

How much time? A nice looking knife!👍👍

Can you make flip knife with same setup? Thanks in advance

Outstanding video very informative 👌 Rick from SoCal

James- you're too critical...but I do the same thing. You did a great job and anybody would be proud to have it on their belt! 11:39

A follow up question would be, could you pay for these harbor freight tools with the knives you make with them? This knife might not be up to some standards but is it still sellable? If so, how much?

It's irresponsible to be reviewing batteries simply on power output. Internal examination is necessary.

Why not just put the spacers in the lathe to make sure they’re concentric to the hole and to also get a good finish? You probably could have made the cap and top spacer out of one part in the lathe too.

I am struggling to get the oven up to 1925. Any tips for better insulation? I recaulked all my interior joints with the same furnace cement used in the video, and that helped. FYI for anyone that had issues with the mortar, I found this stuff in the caulk tube worked much better, as far as holding the bricks together. I added a soft firebrick inside the oven in order to reduce the amount of space I needed to heat since my knives are all small. I also considered adding a layer of ko wool with satanite to the inside top of the furnace. I'm also considering adding satanite to the exterior ko wool. Any other suggestions to improve the insulation?

Great guide J
