Yay! You are back. But, what a funny coincidence. Yesterday I had my first actual blacksmithing class and I learned a lot of things, including that blacksmithing is way harder than it looks. Now I have even more respect for your work. Thanks for sharing it!
Thanks and you're welcome! I'm technically a swordsmith, blacksmiths generally have a much larger skillset than I do. Good luck with your class, should be fun.
@@brotherbanzai Thanks! :D
I like your videos before watching them. That’s how much I love your channel. Thank you for another amazing video and be safe.
Thank you, you stay safe as well.
brotherbanzai Thank you🙏🏻
Welcome back!!! A true master of the arts!
Thanks very much!
Where you been man missed you
Just working. Wife's working at home now, and with slow country internet, it's hard to get time to upload videos.
One of the ultimate pattern welded swords!
Glad you like it.
Love your work ever since I subbed like 12 years ago or so
Thanks very much
Nice looking blade Jeff! Can't wait to see the rest of it!
Thanks Manny!
mas effect 1 was such a great game
Thanks for another amazing blade and vid
You have the coolest videos, very informative.
Thanks, glad you like them.
Good to see ya back
Thanks
The Master is back!
Sweet, where is he?!
@@brotherbanzai Lol!
I always love your work Banzai
Thanks
Nice and relaxing video in these trying times, by the way excellent job
Glad you like it, I look forward to the time when I can once again ignore the news for a few days without being horrified by what I've missed.
amazing video as always, keep up the content please.
Thank you
Hes back!
:)
That first pass with the chalk was a little toasty!
Should probably get one of those little metal soapstone holders.
Thank you .
Looking forward to part 2 ,
Hopefully it will be up next week. Takes like 6 hours to upload these with our slow internet and have limited opportunities to tie up bandwidth with the wife now working from home.
@@brotherbanzai I thank you for all your work and sharing it with us ,
when i watch your videos the music makes me thing im watching a top 10 murder mysteries
You make it look so easy. Is there a reason why you normalise 3 times? Can't wait for the sculpting part. The detail is amazing. Thanks for shearing.
Thank you. Yep, normalize 3 times to get smaller grain size and keep the blade straight. Not unusual to end up with a slight bow in the blade after the first cycle. I straighten it, then normalize again, sometimes still a slight bow, then normalize once more. If the blade is straight after that I heat again and then quench, followed by the first tempering cycle, then finish grinding, then the second tempering cycle a couple days later.
Beautiful as ever Brother. I counted 204 layers is that about right? though did i miss the tempering?
Thank you. 204 layers assuming no layers were completely ground away, though I expect some may have been, so roughly 200. I don't usually include the tempering in the videos, not much to see.
Very nice. I always appreciate a few bold layers throughout the pattern. How've ya been?
Thanks. I've been very well, super busy, thanks for asking.
Muito bom mesmo.
Obrigado
when fluxing why not just pour some over it? Is this a more "frugal" method in regards to not wasting flux?
You don't need very much and it isn't good for the interior of the forge.
When you grind the fuller how do you keep it straight and even
When I initially rough grind it in, I have the blade clamped to a simple angle iron jig and run it across a tool rest attached to the grinder. Once the bulk of it has been ground in, you can hold it by hand, following the existing groove.
@@brotherbanzai thanks for your reply. I've never made a knife or sword but its very interesting. Your very talented, being able to cast fittings and more. Thanks for posting videos.
Question: do you really need multiple normalisation cycles? Most blacksmiths I know of only ever do a single cycle if any.
Does it become more normalised somehow if you do it more often? Why wouldn't it all be normalised in one go?
Need? No, but it can be helpful. I almost always do three cycles (greatly diminishing returns after that), each at a slightly lower temp which is meant to refine grain structure (make smaller grains), and to keep the blade straight.
how long did you spend 'hand sanding'? I make small knives and it takes for ever - your sword looks to be 10 or more small knives.
I don't keep very close track anymore, too frustrating, something like 6 hours.
@@brotherbanzai 6 hours that is crazy - :)
