Vừa vào đã nổi cả da gà 藍giọng a Phúc hayyy quá, mong sẽ tiếp tục cover ạ ❤️
Awsome man
Solid labor sir. I'm jealous of your oven!
Thanks! It's probably the most used tool in the shop!
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.
Thanks, I appreciate it!
You are the first one to use a large enough quench tank !
Nice work ,regards from the Turkey....
Good to see you found your hat!
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.
Thanks man! yeah having a multi part series does allow for more explanation which I think adds value to the video as you point out
I'm smarter than I look lol
Sick blade
Starting to take shape there, looking good!! Can't wait to see the pattern on the blade! It's gonna be lovely!!
Thank you!
Great work....i like the style of your videos too.
Thanks for watching!
Great job I use my house oven to temper my blades and it does a great job 🙂
Thanks! yes, that works great too
Nice work, good job on the video too!!! I like where your going! O, yes. Love the blade to!🤣💪🏻👍🏻 Till next time
Thanks for being here!
Nice looking knife, top job ! Regards from the land “ down under “.
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤘
Hope your loving Texas. i know moving is hard. when you have lots of shop equipment
Thanks Dave!
great work. That disc sanding makes me nervous as hell
Thank you! Yeah i see some guys use it with good results, we'll see where it goes. Also appreciate your work and like the look of your puukkos a lot. On the slim chance you would ever want to do a collaboration, that would be awesome...
Can you send a knife to DBK knives Holland for testing please , those guys are gr8 👍
Good job sit, im indonesian and hopelly you try to make javanesse keris with beauty pamor(patern)
Sorry i mean good job sir,🙏wrong write
Looks like you could use a vise for your drill press.
You sir, need a mini mill.
Ordered some "Diablo" 3x24 belts, zirconium i believe, how well do they last?
They should be better than aluminium oxide, not quite as good as ceramic..
Someone needs to invent a modified reciprocating saw that is designed to take various diameters of files.
Looking good! is it going to be a bone handle? don't give it away if you don't want too.
Thanks Steve! I don't know yet, I have some ideas..!
You certainly seem to fave found your groove or should I say fuller?
Thanks! I think we're heading in a good direction!
Kelanjutan untuk part 3 nya mana ini mind???? Dicari" kok gak ada ini?
Texas Bowie #3 ?
about to upload! :D
İn heated oil, the knife should cool down together with the oil.....Damascus steel would be more perfect.... Best regards master.
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 .
Çok anlatıyor
No normalizing cycles?
Totally, i mentioned that i believe
Good job
But you need some materials.
Look at this video minute: 8:08. For to have a very flat peace
Много слов, мало дела
Он что,калённую заготовку руками гнёт?!
dude that blade was no where hot enough to quinch that gonna be a weak one
Actually that is not accurate. Please see the chop test in part 3. Thanks for watching!
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!!
Nice work but 3 to 4 video's to make a Damascus Bowie knife is really milking it way over done
Thanks! Sorry, i have to find a balance between putting content out and making it worth while content. This is just one of many knives i have in the works right now so I'm limited on time.
Considering it takes me a month or more to make one (working a couple hours a week), I can appreciate longer videos or a series. You gotta get a file guide though! I don’t think I could fit a guard without one. 👍🏼👍🏼
@@fxnepilogue thanks! Yep, need a file guide
I owe you a apology after watching a few of your videos subscribing giving you a thumbs up and ringing the bell because I messed up 2 forged bullets of 15n20 and 1095 today it's really not as easy as you made it look I'm gonna trie again tomorrow and I'm gonna try and work on being more patient lol. Keep up the good work and God bless
@@tommybuck5494 thank you! Let me know if i can help
