Gough Custom filing jig tutorial:
• How to make and use a ...
Making a cutting tool started with cavemen mastering the skill of flint knapping. Now here is that same skill refined to a form of art.
I have the utmost respect for these craftsmen.
Simple effective way with an amazing knife at the end.
Congratulations and thank you for increasing my motivation for starting to make knives.
7 years later, you have maximum patience. I forge to profile, not stock removal, and I'm still in awe.
If this was your first knife, I can not wait to see the next knife. For just using simple tools, you hit a home run. Good job my friend. Thank you.
dude, for your first knife, this is incredible. my first knife looked like an African prison shank. it was awful.
Harubro Haruhara well did you see it to Africa? They could eat it
nah, I'm a jew, so I burnt the handles off, annealed it, and tried again,
My first knife looked like a mixture of a broken rib, and something your dog threw up and hardened over a period of days.
Colin Thomas honestly, I've made a total of 10 knives and I'm barely better than when I first started. my guess for us is that we both need to refine our techniques and just tough through it. I suggest practicing on shitty mild steel from home Depot to get your technique down and then start moving up to tool steels or high carbon steels. then once you are good with those you have the option to go to stainless.
Harubro Haruhara LMAO
Great job, I love everything about this knife the shape of the handle and the blade, they go so well together
I have watched this video 8 times, and every time I ask myself, WHY CAN'T I BE THIS TALENTED ?.
This is one of the most beautiful knives I have ever seen! I will try to make one like this!
This is a great job with the tools you used. It proves it can be done and done well. GOOD JOB
you sir are an artist! from one knifesmith to another. wow!
thanks!
Espectacular!!! La proligidad y el diseño son perfectos. Congratulaciones!!!
Great work buddy. Really love the handle shape 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Me too
Very nice and thank you for the inspiration. Not sure I can file as fast as you do - lol
Very impressed with your improvised bevel big. Great work!
Love watching people who use actual basic tools. Great knife
Dang! The patience you have. . . most of all, that handle pistol-grip shape with the oval cross section looks extremely comfortable! Respect!
I'm impressed that you did most of the knife with hand tools.
It takes a lot of time :/
What an incredible work man ! Congrats and keep it up !
Dude! You should be proud of this achievement! It came out awesome!
I made my first knife the same way, same filing jig even. Got it from Gough Custom.
Realy, nice piece of sharp steel. Good job !
Nice video. Step by step. Cool knife design. Good job ! 👍
Thank you for a great video!
You made a very nice, truly "handmade" knife!
thank you for this fine video, most of us don't have all those tools in other videos. much appreciated,great work!!!
Real nice job for basic tools, came up real good looking
You made one hell of a knife. Good job.
Great knife, love the handle
Very Good Hunt knife. And You worked whitout sanding macine Just a drill An Electric saw. This is Good handcraft Job. My congratulations
Nice work man!!
Great job. I love the simple forge from bricks.
Awesome work Bud !
That looks great man. My first knife didn't come out nearly as great and I started with that same filing jig! Awesome work!
Sharp Works iii
Awesome work dude
thank you for the template, i am going to change the blade shape a bit on my knife but i really liked the handle design.
I really apreciate this great job, salute 👍👍
hermoso trabajo, nuevo suscriptor, un saludo
that came out really nice.
great job.
Excellent work,i like that u use simple tools,as Bruce Lee said simplicity is key to brilliance.
Looks great well done.
You did a really nice job.
It turned out really well.
This is a lovely, love piece. Awesome results 1) for your first effort and 2) with just basic tools. I'm about to launch my first build and watched this video and thought to myself that is one of the nicest looking profiles I've seen yet. Thanks for providing the template. If I can be so bold as to copy you for my first build I will. Consider imitation the sincerest form of flattery!
Nicely done, I really like your handle profile.
Both the knife and video have high production vakue. Your on your way to having a great career
Nice work!!
I am trying to learn more about making beginner knives with cheap tools because I don't have a lot of great tools but this was such a great video to learn off of and nice blade
Beautifully shaped handle. Almost like the handle of a gun. Really nice!
Nice job. I really like the handle shape you chose
Bro really impressed man Beautiful knife and the info in the description is on point very helpful
Nice knife dude. Good work and excelent video. Thank you
You made it look easy. Great looking knife !!
thanks!
Great job! Word of advice. Slow down, learn proper file strokes. I've been making knives for a little while and I learned that patience goes a long way. Again, great job.
Great work, bravo.
Really beautiful.
Great man!! keep that good work, and I love how you mostly use hand tools to get the job done, I work the same!
Very nice job!
Hey man, you've done an awesome job on that Knife!! keep up the great work!
It's amazing the amount of videos where a hand file if used incorrectly. Nice knife.
Great job, nice looking knife!
cool, very nice knife mate! congrats, it turned out beautiful!
I love the handle design. It's kind of like a pistol grip..Nice work.
beautiful peace of art..
Magnifique travail manuel.
You know, the teeth on most files only cut one way. You'll only dull your files quicker by moving them back and forth like that in a sawing motion. But other than that little nit pick, great work! you should be very proud of your efforts. Nice handle, Could have used the angle grinder with abrasive flap discs to shape that handle though, much quicker than a rasping it.
Jimmy Grey cross cut file so it can go both ways
Zane Antoneshyn I think you mean double cut, and whether it's double cut or single cut the teeth still only cut on the forward stroke.
+Jimmy Grey I will correct myself as I have been wrong. the file only cuts on the forward stroke like you said, but the backward stroke is still used. on the backward stroke no pressure is supposed to be applied so on the backward stroke it can help clean out metal chips. it's unclear in this video if pressure is applied on the backward stroke or not as he sped up all the filing. but if he was applying pressure on the backward stroke you would be correct.
Zane Antoneshyn Still, its really the best practice just to lift the file entirely on the backward stroke to avoid any dulling of the teeth. Your files will thank you for it.
Jimmy Grey I agree with you completely it's a good thing to practice just in it won't dull them too much if there's no pressure if any at all. But once again it's hard to tell in the video. And I'll take this advice and use it a little later today maybe.
Truly remarkable
Great stuff...... learnt a lot thankyou for sharing.
I admire your patience. Just one little remark: your really should drill the pinholes with a drill press. It is rather impossible to keep a steady angly by hand. The end result would have looked so much better if only those pins were snug. But again, a remarkeble job well done.
yea first thing I did after finishing this knife was buy a drill press! Check out my other videos to see the difference it made, that screwed up drill hole was the most disappointing thing about this knife. Also using a big hammer drill made the holes even more awkward
Perfeita...parabéns
Nice work! For those saying there's no way that's his first knife, I disagree. Like he says in the description he's watched and learned a lot from CZcams videos, so its more than possible to produce a quality product the first time (if one puts the effort into watching and learning.) He's probably got some experience woodworking as you can see by the handle he produced -and that type of craftsmanship goes a long way.
barbaro ,felicitaciones ¡¡¡¡¡¡ muy bueno¡¡
Good job, from Texas
Nice work! I liked the way you didn’t use fancy or expensive machinery... a lot of elbow grease used... respect!
Nice job on the knife.
looks nice !!
Great video. Thank you
That is a beautiful knife,I have skinned many a rabbit in my time,and it is almost identical to my knife,which I have had for over 70years,but the blade is well worn down now with all the honing it has had,your knife definatley gets my thumbs up
great video. thanks for posting. it looks like that took a while. great knife.
Awesome job
Awesome man!
That idea with the file to get the angle is really clever.
Really cool filing jig.
The final result is very good, congratulations, your video proves that with dedication and a little study it is possible to make beautiful knives, in my first knife I used the same file jig, it's a very effective method for a very cheap and mechanical way to do the bevel. Actually you can make many jigs and tools, just using some different techinics and improving others to make knives, but if you're just a hobbyist, if this is not your profession. it takes a lot of practice and experience to make knives with a high technical level with few tools.
Just SUPERB.
excelente, parabéns...
very well executed vid
Beautiful.
it's Beautiful !!
nice,it's a great piece man
Very nice..compliments.
