“....I’m gonna sell my motorcycle, or what ever.” Me-
About 6 years ago, I came across a blacksmith CZcams video. That was it for me. Watched more and more. Damascus is a passion I have. I still haven't forged, yet. Living in urban jungle limits were I can. But I changed my career. Took up metal fabrication. Made a forge out of plate steel in foundations coarse. My desire is still as strong as when I discovered that CZcams video
“Gravity condenser and quantum navigator.....”
I sold 2 old shotguns and a generator to get started bladesmithing. I don’t regret it at all.
Alternative title:
When I first started having an interest in bladesmithing my biggest hobby was airsoft (I was 17). Once I decided I wanted to make knives seriously I sold everything I had for airsoft and bought myself a forge and built myself a belt grinder. Three years later and it was the best decision I have made so far
I just wanted to say THANK YOU for being realistic, honest, and grounded in your explanation of what it takes to "start" a new adventure. Please keep up the amazing content and I look forward to scooping up all of the knowledge that is being passed along on your channel!
I’ve been driving for an hour once a week to use his forge. He’s now helping build my own. I’ve learned a lot. Still gonna go up once a week. But now I’m gonna get more hammer time at home. Super stoked. Great advice
The first part about wanting to bladesmith or blacksmith is true. My forge is a campfire with a hair dryer, my anvil is a 1" thick 6" x 4" chunk of scrap steel from a welding shop, a cross ping hammer, and pair of welding gloves. I have been watching blacksmithing videos and want to do this! I have only been at this for 2 weeks now have made several tent stakes and currently working on making tongs out of rebar. Not there yet for blades but I am working on it.
I paused it at 3-ish mins... And I already love this. Dude is on point. No matter what it is, you gotta love what you do. Like the old saying " if you truly love what you do for a living, then you never work." Because it's a love, not a chore.
Thanks for this, I had a similar discussion with my dear old Dad of 78 today,. He’s all on about not having enough money or time to do what he wants, I respond with sell something you don’t use and get what you will use. Money buys experiences, in my opinion, and time is of the essence, especially in my Dad’s case.
I hope I look like this dude when im his age, dude is a stud
Hey Jason you know nothing!!! If I have learned anything from Disney movies... all you need to make a legendary weapon is a special metal ingot, the power of a star and a casting mold!
Jason knight is a bladesmith sage! Be the Knight, listen to the Knight. He is wise and true!
You’re 100% right Jason. In the blade smith realm you’re my idol man. I’ve basically followed all of these principles and it has served me well. Next year I’ll be applying for LLC and pushing for my dream.
“Uncommon sense”. Hell yeah! Am a high school teacher with a hobby in knife making. Have been using this phrase for a while - nice to hear it’s a common sentiment.
I started with the desire and a fire pit in the back yard with a pipe in it with a hairdryer for air flow, a rock was my anvil. Bought a cheap harbour freight 1x30. I’ve come a long way since then.
As a craftsman in other fields I love the emphasis on always learning from someone better and be a maker rather than a collector
I started from nothing, found old plymouth drumbrake and made forge out of it and I still use it after 22 years lol. Gathered tools where I could and I have had fun, made quite a few puukos to this day. Now I want and need a Shop and big anvil, maybe desent grinder, which are hard to find here in Finland
