    By far some of the best explanatory/educational bladesmithing videos I have found. Keep doing what you do! Can't wait to see the final product.

    Good video man. Idc if someone down there thinks you're milking it, i like the information you're putting out there and watching the process and details taking place, in real time,,,as they happen. I don't like watching videos in fast forward or if a guy makes a blade and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, it has a gaurd. I watch to learn, not critique, and I appreciate what you're doing.

    Grinding at 30 seconds in your loose t shirt is 2" from that grinder , get an apron or wear a welding jacket or something m8 your going to regret it if you dont , take it from a blacksmith that has 6 inches of scars on one hand from grinder accidents .

    I don't mean anything bad by this as obviously you know what you're doing, this is just a little tip that I picked up along the way working with chainsaws specifically. I don't know how long your files last or how often you have to replace them but you use them a bit wrong, its a very common mistake made by 98% op people using metal files. Making the following change will let your files stay "sharper" for longer so meaning they last longer and automatically saving you a little bit of money along the way as you buy less files.
    So here's what you should do, or, rather should'nt do:
    1) Whenever using a file, you should only PUSH it in a singular direction and NOT PULL BACK on it as the teeth of your file are so fine, when pulling back on the file you actually push down the teeth, rounding them of and closing them up or even braking them off bit by bit which in turn then causes loss on filing chips or shavings as that sharp tooth edge is either now blunt or gone, so you basically automatically slowing down the filing time as you lose filing depth & you have to push more to get the result you want.
    2) When using in specific the "chainsaw" tipe of material files, try to rather ware gloves when using them as we permenantly have a sort of acidity on our hands from sweat, something you won't ever get away from, that acidity getting on to the file wherever you touch it aspecially on the file teeth, automatically causes corrosion, which will then obviously start eating away at the teeth. When trying to use the file, you'll rather brake off the teeth as they are now weaker from the rust or corrosion.
    To prevent corroting you can also dip them in a bit of oil obviously.
    3) Whenever finished working with your files, pull back on a dry clean cloth to get all the debree stuck in the teeh out to clean the file as the metal dust stuck in the file's theeth will start rusting leading to the file it self also starting to rust.
    4) Rather wrap it in a cloth when puting it away or have a seperate space for each file, maybe like a pouch or so where it can't chaf or scratch against other tools and stuff which will also let them last a bit longer and not get blunt too fast.
    This is not to criticize you in anyway, I just hope that this will help a bit. I love the good work you're doing, you're a good smith, please keep it up!!
