    Was complaining to wifey about CZcams recommendations with scantily clad gals bow hunting, then your vid was recommended and I noted the wedding band. Subscribed, excellent detailed and interesting content. There should be a specific profile setting for married guy video recommendations.

    Usually commentary annoys me on forging videos but yours is an exception. The way you describe what you're doing very informatively and casually makes your commentary very entertaining to listen to

    This is by far my favorite forging channel. I love that you narrate and tell us what you're doing and I really like that you forge as much of the blade shape vs relying on cutting and grinding.

    I've been watching knife making videos for a long time now, but this the first time I see someone really explain what they are doing and why. lot of them are silent or just talk about the steps they are in, but you my friend made me listen to every word you said, and it lights too many bulbs over my head.

    Looks more Camp knife than Bowie? I know Bowies had a lot of different blade shapes, but I always think of the clip point. Really like San Mai pattern.

    I'm a car guy, not a knife maker but I can tell you a plasma cutter will be a welcome addition to your shop. I bought an inexpensive Chinese machine and it is absolutely wonderful. I don't have nearly as much need as you do, but I consider it money well spent. We're only talking around two hundred bucks. Think about it.

    New Jersey Steel Baron packs their shipments well. Kudos to you for actually forging a blade and not being one of the millions of 'stock removal' knife guys. Guard jacks are a bit less violent way to 'seat' your guard without hammering and they are easy to make.
    Nice job.

    @stevenobrien6406 Před rokem +1

    Hey champ, I lo e watching your videos, but just one slight suggestion, please put some green weld filter between your arch welder and your camera. Just to protect some of the viewers. Please. It also allows us watch the bead of your welding alot closer.
    However, your billet builds always bring me back.
