Excellent! This is a very cool blade you've made from the reclaimed steel. I will have to give it a try

I'm down with the reservoir tip.

Fascinating - I came here because I saw an antique hibachi and have learned a lot (not least that it’s for indoor heating and not cooking). Thank you for sharing

thanks. i was actually wondering how it works :)

wait... at 21:57 did you just plug a short pencil in a bamboo so you don't have to waste it when it's short? that's brilliant!

Nice work!

Should I make a smaller saya nomi for a tanto or is the size more of a matter of ergonomics?

Thank you, that's just what I needed. I'm writing a renaissance fantasy where a blacksmith is soldering brass parts together for sword fittings, so I needed to know how to do it with a forge. Now I know the secret is to have a peacock supervising.

I going an unusually hard piece of rebar so I might try to make one aswell

Hi, very nice work… what material is the small piece you put in between the copper joint. And what material is the thin “U” shaped piece you placed on top of it

I have a question, is the wood you used a traditional wood cause there is a Histu Nata I want to restore and want to use japanese wood but what would you recommend as I have found some japanese oak but the stuff is expensive?

What is the traditional name for a japanese swordsmithing hammer?

Awesome work. I'm going to attempt my first habaki tomorrow. We'll see how it goes...

Gonna make mine this way from now on. My way was terribly hard compared to this. Thank you for showing this 😊

what wood do you use for this ?

Is it pooping lil hot aluminum lava? Yikes. I love this old school feeling but i like knowing more about things that scare the crap out of me. Popping metal turns out to be on of them.. lol

It's magic!

很溫暖的感覺！真好~

уж больно мягкую сталь используешь для клинка...

wow that is now good for paperweight, that crack will ruin everything.....sadly some folks will follow your method...but that is just not ok for a 500$ knife to get shattered by a 35$ broken thurd.

Great video I enjoyed it a lot but could not understand what language you were speaking bsouded like Turkish

It’s beautiful but what is the reason for the double scabbard

I love this but I feel like Xibit when I see this - "Yo dawg I heard you like daggers so I made a scabbard for your scabbard so you can sheathe while you sheathe" XD

what brand of tabi are these? they look very comfortable!

The spirit of this forge is so deep and profound. I really miss all the footage, or, rather, like to come back here. These are so inspirational.

I’ve been searching for this all day. I kept getting search results on how to open a regular katana with a tsuba. I’ll have to try these out to see which works best. Thank you!

Amazing work, wow

what sand is that?

A doubt. What is the width and thickness of the blade at the spine?

Come back sir! We miss ur vids veryyu much😢

Book matched too!(the saya!)

Hi. Have you ever watch any of the Satoichi movies? His cane sword is straight and looks like it’s on the slim side I’m 5’7” in height two feet 6 to 7 inches in nagasa? So how much for such a sword using fresh 1080 steel in Sirisaya? As to the hamon a shallow suguha ( that you do so well) polished to the first uchigumari stones . Thanks.

how do you make your rice glue?

imagine being a eruopean smith in the 16somethings and having one of your clients bring you a knife with a scabbard for its scabbard

Is that pure water,did. U pre heated first

can someone tell me what is that thing used for smootheing the wood at 24:35 ?

With such a loose fit wont it start rattling as soon as you use it?

Thank you for that visual explanation

A little narration would of went a long way. Never getting this time back...😮😢

All that work and he leaves the tsuba unfinished steel?

Your video is a true work of art. I love the calm, non verbal atmosphere. Where are you located? I would love to be able to just sit in and really learn from your methods. Amazing work my friend! And I love your two toed “ninja” shoes!

You're truly an inspiration to 'go that extra mile'! Magnificent.

Where do you get a hold of Urushi?

Clever method using the timber for leverage & the track for a break. Brake?

Your cinematography is so good. I hope someday you Make more videos, or make them available for purchase.

Nice...TQ...👍

Thats wonderful, love your videos. The peace and quiet, absence of music. How is the silver/copper solder made or where can it be purchased?

your channel is lovely, thank you very much for uploading. just read on your blog you needed to tear apart your workshop, did you give up smithing?

🙏❤️🙏
