Brokeass Blacksmith Turns Clutch Bearing Into An Uglyass Knife
Vložit
- čas přidán 13. 10. 2022
- I recently replaced the throwout bearing on my truck, and rather than throwing it out (sorry, lame pun), I made a knife out of it. I include an idiot's guide to metallurgy, for us idiots.

Getting a little practice at the forge with this one. I really do like this knife, and here's the direct link: amzn.to/3CllzTW. I've put a lot of effort into making a good Amazon storefront, with a collection of reasonably priced and useful tools that I really like and use, complete with comments on most of them, so check it out: www.amazon.com/shop/farmcraft101. I'm working hard to grow the channel, so if you like the video, don't forget to like and share! If I can grow the channel enough I can make it my full time job; that's the goal! How long will it take for me to hit 500k subs, I wonder? I don't know, but it will be faster with your help! Have an awesome weekend everybody!
Its been 35+ years since my ME classes in metallurgy, I think you did a pretty good job describing the heat treatment of steel.
The very first pocket knives date back to 600 BC real folding knives found in Austria???? Damn
long time subscriber here, i rly like that you content is every time different and that you are doing long format videos. from casting a cannon, over slow motion weapon shooting and machinery repair to forging - just keep doing what you are doing and you will get to 500k subs
@@mrgodBG I agree he can explain things like a regular person! It's like when you see a doctor and have no clue what the Doctor just said! Farm Craft is very skilled and can explain things so everyone gets it! FJB
How did you get that great mountain scene on the shield behind your forge?
I was shocked, first time I ever saw a farmer throw anything away. You had me fooled, lol.
I love this comment :-D
No that his to be used later bucket 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He's not a farmer. He thinks he's one. Really its just a cover. YT😂
@@devillxx9612 I interpreted it as his fuck-it bucket.
Jokes on you that's not a garbage it's a scrap bin for later.
I've gotten to the point where I get excited to see a new post on your channel. You're always educational and informative without coming across as the end all, be all expert. And, you always throw in just the right amount of humor, albeit self deprecating. Just the kind of guy we all like to call a friend.
Totally agree, like I know him from somewhere. Great dude, great channel!
he gonna blow up so hard man
Hear hear 👍👍
I’ve got a masters degree in Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering, which included a lot of metallurgy and phase transformation diagrams, but I can honestly say that your description of what’s happening in a practical sense when we heat treat materials made a lot more sense to me - excellent work! 🙂
7:23 I always love the little farm breaks we get of stuff you do while not working on projects. I love seeing the cows and hope they're happy even if I do like to eat them too.
Tastiest pets ever.
I don't understand the moral qualms you muricans have about eating animals just because you think animals are cute or can express. if people didn't eat beef those cows wouldn't even exist
The personality that comes through in your videos is down to earth and likeable. We're learning from you and along with you. Keep 'em coming.
The tail end of a 9mm cartridge makes a cool thumbstud for that blade. Did one on my CQC-7. The pocket hook is so great, it's patented by Emerson Knifes, called a "Wave" and commissioned by Kershaw.
Lmfao the cows are like you Cheap jerk you got all the good grass on your side let us IN 😆 🤣 @FarmCraft101
You are by far in the top 3 you tube channels I love. I almost always learn something new every video.
What a nice change of pace. I always enjoy your videos and your willingness to poke fun at yourself is a bonus
I admire that you dare posting stuff you're not an expert about, knowing you'll get comments from people who don't do and share anything but think they know better. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us!
Love to see you back doing some blacksmithing!
And I like the handmade look you got with the imperfections on the knife ^^
Your episodes continue to get better.. what a great lesson with humor and value.. actually said “oh, boy” when l saw your new download.. (out loud even!)🎉
Your efforts are perfectly reasonable and effective. To hell with anyone complaining about the utilitarian aesthetic of your new working knife!
Hobbyist blade maker here ! Little tip to avoid losing the tip to heat before quench : put the blade in the fire butt first, and let the tip slightly out. Heat will get deep into the metal and travel outwards like you showed when you got it cherry red for tempering.
By the way, that blade is cleanly cut. Seems salvageable to me. The knife would just be a little bit shorter.
Also, thanks for the explanation for the pocket hook, I never saw that used before ! Gotta wonder though, don't your jeans' pockets give up and tear out in the end ?
The junk bucket ( or box,etc) is very important for every DIY work spot. You never know what prior discard will
have a future use!. The bearing to fix the almost discarded knife a case in point. You have acquired the tools
required to do the various repairs that you do that not everyone is fortunate enough to possess. Nor does every
DIYer have the phenomenal workshop and space to house them all. Totally envious of the success that your
hard work has rewarded you with. Great educational videos! 👍👍👍
The fact that you are willing to attempt to something that probably takes many years of practice to do correctly and also have the cajones to show the world via You Tube the “imperfect” way you did it is extremely impressive and inspiring. I appreciate how you are undaunted in taking on large and complicated projects that would normally intimidate others with average mechanical ability and share the unedited (mistakes left in) effort via video for our enjoyment.
plus he still has the other half for a second try
@@ionracer24 practice, practice, practice
Love my Kershaw pocket knives too. I can get them at Walmart for $15-$20. They make great gifts too!
Demonstration of the pocket hook is nice I like that it draw and deploy at the sametime
Your explanation of steel hardness was as good as it was taught to me by Sumner Nissin in the mid '70's. I was his apprentice and he taught me a lot about mould making and life. I miss him. Another good video. Thanks!
Excellent explanation of the heat treating of steel. Answered some questions I had. Thanks.
As someone who is also hard on tools..... I love my Leathermans (broken 3 of them) and my CRKT (broken 2 of them). People ask me why I keep buying them if I break them - same reason you do - if they can survive my abuse, I might as well keep paying for that good quality!
Well you can warranty your leathermans. They will warranty about anything. My buddy snap his blade off using it as a prybar and they fixed it. I also broke my flat head prying and they warrantied it. All you have to do is pay the shipping.
@@FishFind3000 I figure that since I broke it doing something wrong, I'll pay for a new one. I don't mind - I've had to replace 3 in 30 years, so I got my money's worth!
You are too hard on yourself, that came out pretty well. Of course there are going to be rough outcomes, but it was a successful one. Fun video!
you are one of those where you get really excited when there's new content to watch. I only wish you uploaded more. Can't seem to get enough of you.
the telegram thing looks like a con-person. treat with caution!
Many thanks for making the effort to explain the why of the what you do! The best part was the mini-lesson on metallurgy 101.
Lawn mower blades are actually made from milder steel. They are made this way to avoid pieces chipping off and striking the operator when accidentally hitting rocks and such. The milder steel will deform rather than chip off.
The hook will tear your pocket, eventually. But it is great for quick deploy.
I like it, repurposing is fun.
Only down side is, every time you use it you will be reminded of the fight that truck gave you when you fixed the clutch.
The usual blacksmith way of tempering is to heat up a big chunk of mild steel and hold it to the backside of the knife blade until the edge is straw yellow and the back is blue. Ideally, anyways. It's a good thing if the back is pretty much as soft as you can get it without making the edge too soft, especially when you're making a whole-steel blade.
Always nice to see someone repurposing junk. Makes me miss blacksmithing... I really need to get access to a forge, somewhere.
Your explanation of metal hardness is the best one I have seen yet. Visual learner here.
As the Snap-On rep told me once - "A knife is the most expensive and least effective prybar you can buy"
Imagine abusing a knife so bad, you become a spokesman for said knife and give it a free shout out and link. 👑
you are a man after my own heart. who needs a screw driver, hammer, pry bar, when you have a pocket knife.
Been in the market without urgency. Glad I watched this. Bought the knife from your link, hopefully it benefits you in some way. Thanks for the great content.
Pocket Knife repair came out awesome
That “pocket hook” is called an Emerson wave 👍
How many people watching this can brag about THEIR daily carry being made from the throwout bearing of their used dump truck? LOVE it, dude… LOVE IT.
Great explanation on crystal structure
This would make a good advanced episode of Forged in Fire - contestants being given a broken pocket knife and having to as closely as possible make a new blade from scrap material.
The level of understanding of forging & metallurgy combined with tool use and accuracy would make a great episode.
Nothing complex in a pocket knife, or so it seems...
Just from the narrative, anybody can recognize a quality upbringing. The confidence instilled on projects never before tackled. Nice job on the vijayo, and to your parents---well, they know!!
the telegram thing looks like a con-person. treat with caution!
This is why I watch. NOT the run around "look at me" videos. Thanks, What's next, Jon?
I made a furnace out of a grill. Ran a shop vac hose into it for a "blower." Worked great. Its remains are still out in the shed. I think there's a even still a big jug of vegetable oil out there. Lord, it's been years.
EDIT: *furnace
This is a pretty solid phase diagram explanation.
I taught first year materials science in grad school so trying to get people to understand the nuances is not trivial.
I’ve been working in electric motor shops since 1987. If you need a steady supply of high grade carbon steel check out one near you. There’s no telling how many tons of SKF and Timkin plus NTN, Koyo, and of course FAG bearings I’ve thrown in the scrap bin over the years.
i got to tell you i really enjoy listening to you talk cheers from Melbourne australia
I love it. More skills revealed. You're killing me.
Cows make me nervous. It's the way they stare at me while I'm pumping diesel.
Awesome to see Forging on the Channel love seeing metal formed its a beautiful Art that is starting to become lost @FarmCraft101
I love these kind of videos you make very interesting a lot like the cannon series! Keep it up!
I got schooled on the pocket hook👍Thank you, and that is a pretty good option to have on a pocket knife 🙂
A whole new meaning to recycling. Plus now you can say it is a unique knife.
That was awesome, I was looking at getting into knife making for an upcoming multi-tool project and your explanation of heat treating & tempering made sense.
Love the cow break!
Thanks for sharing. You have a sense about you that would be good for me to be around. I like your humor even when things are not going your way. Kind of like a be kind to yourself when you screw up because it's going to happen, but it won't stop me/you. Awesome!
What a neat project on so many levels. But I do have to take you to task. Welding with your wedding ring on and no gloves for protection.
I have a daughter that is an extremely high-end jeweler and gemstone setter. I had her replace the crystal in my watch ruined by welding spatter, a gift from her, and repair the welding spatter marks on my wedding ring, a gift from her mom many many moons ago. Upon receiving the 2 pieces, and when returning them, she really took me to task for almost ruining the ring. I incurred her wrath because I was in a hurry and didn't put gloves on or take the ring off because it was a "1-minute" weld job. So, if you don't want to suffer from the wrath of a cranky jeweler like my daughter, protect that wedding ring!!
Man your a Jack of all trades!I enjoy your videos a lot .Very entertaining lol.Thank you for sharing all that you do.
Fantastic "end shot"!
ooooh I was just waiting for Doug to say "it will cut " !. I understand files make excellent blades as well. Keep up the good videos ..
A better intro than my undergrad phase diagrams course... 🤣
that was fun to see in process to finish - well the lack of shiny finish but it did have 'throw-out' character.
My first thought seeing the title of this video: How to make an knife from a dump truck -- Step 1: Get a dump truck. Step 2: Grind away everything that does not look like a knife. But seriously, nice job recycling good steel.
I''ll bet it broke your heart when you broke that blade. I know when I break tools that I've used for decades it bothers me. I think it adds character to the blade and when folks say, "Wow did you leave that out in the rain?" You can tell them about the throw out bearing that you forged the blade from. Great video thumbs up.
I appreciate your ability to laugh at yourself.
I always have my Kershaw with me. I use the finger assist model with serrations part way back. Like you I keep 2, when one gets dull I switch out then sharpen both later. Great knives for the price, feel lost without it on me.
You seem like such a knife guy! Great video, Thankyou
Your living my dream. Thanks for taking us along.
That was a great video - reminded me of my mechanical engineering classes making different structures of steel. I've never thought about a pocket hook before to deploy the blade. Since my state made auto knives legal, I've been carrying one for years and it is just so convenient. This video is going straight to a couple of guys I know who make knives. Honestly, I get more interested in seeing new videos from you than any other Youboob channels I subscribe to.
New here, and working my way through some of your prior videos. As I started to watch, I half expected you to build a small home-brew hammer mill out of an old coil spring and a massive weight, and to forge a Damascus Steel replacement blade for the pocket knife! Maybe next time.
Kershaw has a lifetime guarantee on all their knives. You can fill out a warranty form (it used to be free, but I think it's like $10 now) and send it to them and they'll replace/repair them and send them back
That's a good looking little herd. Look good raht next to the taters on my plate, um-humm. Are they Angus? My uncle raised Angus when he was still farming. Butchered one or two for the freezer before they were fed any grain. That was tasty, albeit lean beef. If I can figure out this dang time -travel, I'll go back and remind you about melting the tip of that blade. I know it's possible, 'cause I've seen it on TV.
kudos to you for not throwing it out and making something useful out of it instead :)
You may think you don't know how to make knives, but you DO know how to make something useful, out of something that would have been junk, which is just as cool! 😎👍🤓🛠
Thankyou for this video! The explanations are great. I am getting a forge now. Have loads of ideas just from your videos.
Its been along time since I've seen a reference to the Iron-Carbon phase diagram. Nice throw back.
I understand wanting to forge a new one, but I AM surprised you didnt weld the broken one with such a clean break.
Great video. I love the fordge marks on the throwout bearing blade.
another fantastic video! loving the increase in uploads
That was a pretty mean crowd you met in the field-glad you were able to head them off to the gate,lol.I know, stupid joke.
Hey Farmcraft 101! Looks like a great knife.
Love your channel. Your skills and knowledge are amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Is there anything that you can't do? And, do you really want a knife exactly like someone else made? Yours has character. YOU made it- out of something that was going to be trash. P.S.Can I tell you that cow with the center part through her white hair is THE cutest thing ever! She is def a cutie pie! 🥰
Haha the grass really was greener, that had me LOL 🤣
Everyone of your videos is an education. Yesterday it was Barber Chairs, today Pocket Hooks, what will tomorrow bring I wonder?
Recycling and reusing materials, Brilliant example !
If you're going to do any amount of fencing (of course you are, you have cattle...) you really need a pair of fencing pliers. I'd recommend the Channel lock 85 - it might cost 40-ish dollars, but my dad always preferred them. He tried other brands, but most of them were poorly made with soft wire cutter jaws. The channel locks lasted years until they grew legs and disappeared.
Nice to see you showing that knife, funny I bought 2 when got the same knife too years ago. It's a go to knife when I'm possibly passing though places that get bent on automatic knives.
Nice knife that might have a more resistance to breaking now, that's not the first one I've seen snapped off in same place though.
That's awesome. Doesn't matter if it's the prettiest looking knife, or what a professional knife maker would consider high quality, as long as it cuts open that bale of hay or prys out that staple, lol, then it's perfect. I do also think it's pretty cool that it's made with parts from your dump truck.
I have my favorite knife for cutting open bales of hay as well. That one is kept nice and sharp so you only have to pretty much touch the strings of a 55lb square bale and they cut open. When feeding in the winter and I'm riding around in the back of the truck cutting open 10 Bales at a time and pushing them out, I want it to be as quick of a process as possible. Got to keep the cows busy dropping hay otherwise they get antsy and start pulling whole Bales off lol
I feel the exact same way about kershaw's Oso Sweet. When I bought mine it was on clearance for like 12 dollars at tractor supply and I should have bought a lifetime supply. They are usually 30ish. It's an assisted opener and works great around the farm for me. It fits my hand nice. Good size.. nice blade profile.. not real heavy.. just a winne.
Chocolate can be tempered as well, it has six possible crystal forms that influence melting temperature and snap.
Well tempered chocolate should have a distinct snap and melt just around body temperature; sorry Hershey's.
Really? Never heard of that before, but I'm not much of a cook or baker.
In addition to that, US chocolate is quite a bit different to Euro chocolate...
I can't for the live of my ear American chocolate, it tastes strange to me.
It's the thing I missed the most in the USA...
Best manufacturers we know go with straw colour (tending to blue) for stone masonry chisels on a medium hard limestone, starting half inch back from the tip. Blue on the striking end. Have you ever 'made' steel with higher carbon concentrate?
That pocket hook is GANSTA my bro!
I am a welding engineer. Where did you learn metallurgy of steel? I liked the way you explained it.
Martensite is the hardest that he didn't mention. It is obvious he has been taught, but TT diagrams are used by everyone except A36 people. He has a forge and farm shop of the 60's.
Have used the steel from bearings to make small cold chisels in the past.
Brave man welding with a ring on did it once only once weld slag stuck to ring lost about three or four layers of skin ouch now have permanent ring mark on finger
No new video (yet?) today, so let's watch an old one.
Thanks, Jon.
steve
Great to see someone give it a go. That's how you learn right.
Way cool!.. I don’t care what topic you feature…but always a learning experience. I’m a pretty good mechanic and actually have never taken a vehicle to a shop. That said…it’s always informative and yes you can teach an old dog new tricks… I have seen that pocket hook before but had absolutely no idea it did that. Had a vague knowledge of tempering…now know a touch more. Please tell us at some point where your engineering background came from! I am guessing mechanical engineer. Who is with me ?
Sees man flip knife out of pocket in a really cool cowboy farmer way.
Me: tears a hole in my pants and shirt and most likely pokes myself in the process.
I like all of your video content but this is what i miss the most. especially the Canon you built!
Should just appropriate the Kitchen Oven for the tempering 😂
