Sick work, brother. You've inspired me to make a chef's knife! The work you can do with that press is amazing. Definitely showing the fullering process to get the shape you wanted.
Hope you like the content! Definitely let me know if there's stuff you want to see here... I see what I do every day so it's good to get an outsider's perspective!🍻
@@jleesknives yes if you do this everyday you don’t realize how special the skill really is! Talk about the way the metal moves under a hammer and the press! Your hammer video for 2 years ago was great.
I’d like to see a multi part in depth video on the integral chef. More of a how-to video. Watched a bunch but your style is different and I like how you shape it all io
I want to make one of those, but it's probably going to be a little while... Making these more entertainment style videos slows me down like 65% already... So I'm either going to do it as a Patreon thing, or hopefully just eventually get this CZcams thing making some money.... Don't know yet, I'm just getting this all figured out, but I very much appreciate your interest!
i want to forge a chefs knife too but im not gonna make a integrals, just cliche hidden tang ones but i cant decide on the diameter of the round stock i should be using. I will hand forge it too, so can you give me some advice?
If you're not going to make an integral, I would start with a flat bar... 1.5"x5 to 5.5"x .25" is a good size to start with. You should be able to get at least an 8" chef out of that... If you are going to start with round stock though, I'd recommend 1" round bar...
Dude! Those custom dies are genius! I have made some similar to what you used. But +1 vote for those integral dies. I am going to make all 3 of those!
Awesome! Hope they work out well for you!
You seriously forged that blade out - as opposed to ground it out. Without the press that takes me a week, well done.
Thanks! I try to forge as close as I reasonably can... The press definitely helps, especially with these integrals.
Just spent the weekend making some of the tools for the 12 ton press you showed. 👍🏾
Awesome, Hope they serve you well!
Great use of tooling and skill to tackle the challenges of forging integrals! Beautiful work as always!
Thank you!

Thanks! Hope you have fun making it!☕
I’m impressed 😊
Thanks! ☕☕
Amazing video and love the custom tooling for the press.
Thanks! Much appreciated! 🍻
Incredible work as always.👍👍
Thanks! 👊🍻👊
Awesome work brother 🤙
Thanks!
You should sell the press tooling as an ‘integral kit’. I’d buy it! Great video
That's a great idea, I would love to partner up with them on that!
I’m down too, just the dies I can figure out to mount to my press
Fantastic video!
Thank you!
Ive watching you via social media. So happy to see you have started a YT channel!!

@@jleesknives I agree completely
@@jleesknives +1 vote for Patreon on this one...thanks Jared😊
@@mattbarrington4232 come take a class!
@5:22 time…DUDE! Genius! ❤️🔪
Makes life so much easier!
I am so stealing that "trick" where you reduce the height of the bolster towards the choil on the press ;) Really nice video BTW 👍
Thank you! Have at it and tag me in a photo when you do so I can check it out!
@@jleesknives Will do ;)
Awesome 🔥
Thank you!
Where is part two
What do you want in part 2?

Where did you get that press
It's from Coal Ironworks.
Would've been way cooler if you did it with a hammer. No soul with your machine.
I sure wish cooler payed the mortgage...
@@jleesknives that's fair.
I love the forging. the music was annoying but forgivable.
I guess I can forgive your taste in music if you still like the forging...
