Nice knife ! Traditional north American craft work there! Great flow and form , bet it feels even better in hand.happy 2023 challenge!
Thanks man! I still gotta catch yours!
Love the creativity that this simple and beautiful knife brought you. My 9 year old daughter said she loves your dancing as it made her night.
I’m glad to put a smile on someone’s face ☺️
Knife is amazing but your dance moves are next-level!!!
🤣🤣🤣
It looks really good! You did a really creative job and it turned out really well. Now put it someplace where you can admire it. Happy, happy!
🙌
That was not only hard work but the end results were absolutely perfect for your studio! Original ideas in the materials used. What a beauty 😍 💖
Thanks!
Fantastic work! That knife came out so good! The polish on that obsidian is fantastic! Obsidian is my arch nemesis🤣never can seem to get it past a satin finish😂 love the handle as well, i think leaving the brow tine was a fantastic touch! Amazing video as always, and thank you so much for being a part of the challenge!😄
Thanks Sir and I appreciate you and the invite again! Such a fun week with everyone’s videos!
Hey Taylor, that turned out great! Now you’re one step closer to being totally prepared for the zombie apocalypse! Ammo may run out, but a knife never will.😂
So close! Working on the never running out part 😅🙌
Great video, what fun to try something different. I will say I was right in the middle of eating dinner when the dancing started. Almost choked. Keep up the good work!
That’s exactly why I shouldn’t dance! 😂
Very nice job! Thanks for sharing..
Love the eye guard tine
Just wow 😯! I loved this beautiful and unique project!
☺️❤️
Great job, Taylor!😊👍
I love the dancing....🕺🏿🕺🏿🕺🏿🕺🏿😂😂😂😂❤
I’m glad! Should be the last time I do it 🤣
Pretty looking
Now that you've shown us your dancing we will be expecting you to dance for us again. At least on high days and holidays lol The knife is lovely. It makes you think how long peoples, in days gone by, must have spent making their amazing weapons without the advantage of power tools.
That is true, I’m sure they were efficient with their techniques!
Really beautiful work👍💕
very pretty
That came out great! And it’s pretty, too. Great challenge project. Thanks.
Thanks!
Bravo!
Nice work! The obsidian is beautiful.
🙌
Nice work, Agate Dad! :)
Thanks Kate! You did so good on your project too!
It turned out great, love the shine and colour of the blade 👍😊
Thanks!
Nice work!
Really awesome knife! Thanks for sharing!
That's so pretty! It took soooo long but it looks like it was worth it.
What a beautiful knife! the blade is gorgeous. It was fun watching you make this. Thanks for sharing.
I love the smoky haze through the obsidian, it deserves to be back lit.
That is super badass. The black blade looks so cool polished up with that white deer antler. Definitely going to look amazing displayed on a shelf!
Thanks Brad! I think it looks like that too 🤣
It was so fun to watch all you had to do, to make it how YOU wanted. It's a beautiful piece!
Thanks Cindy! It was fun ☺️
Beautifully done!!
I don't think I'd put it down either it looks like it would be very tactile, beautiful 🎉
Wood saws work for antler. I made handles for drawers in a desk that I made for my son. I just cut them on my table saw. It still stunk though.
I like the way that turned out. It looks very rustic. Great idea for the Makers Challenge!
Thanks Rob! Wish I had better equipment for it!
Great work 👍
Thanks boss!
Niiiiiice blade
Love love love this!
Beautiful!
Marvelous great job
Thanks!
Very Cool!!!! My guess was way off 😂 It's beautiful! Love the buck horn handle and the string you wrapped around. It was the perfect color to go with the blade and horn. 😊
Beautiful
Thanks!
Great stuff my friend! I was so frustrated not being able to figure out what you were making with your initial photos but WOW! Knocked that outta the park man! As Karen mentioned, the extra eye that went into how it would display in the end is fabulous! Can’t forget the epic intro or the wicked dance skills! Love it!
Thanks dude! It was a fun project!
Very cool Makers Challenge porject!!! Thanks for sharing
Thanks 🙏
@@AgateDad I have to admit through this whole video, i had Doug Marcaida from forged in fire's voice in my head going "It Will Cut" hahahahahahahaha
He is my FAVORITE from that show!
@@AgateDad Me too!! I think he would like you thought of a contingency for if the blade broke hahahahahaha.....IT WILL KIIIILLLLL!!!!
A great scraping knife.....hunting, fishing or skinning
Great job. Love it.❤
Thanks!
With some learning and a lot of practice, you could knap a super-sharp edge on it, but that's not an easy thing to do - gorgeous show piece!
Fantastic work!
Thanks a lot!
Wow, love it!! Way to use our natural resources! Really impressive and very native! Outstanding, like its maker!!
Awesome job! What a great display piece! I know that smell of cutting antlers I was thinking of it before you started cutting 😃
Yeah it’s potent!
So fun
A beautiful knife! I love obsidian. The handle is genius! Kudos!
Thanks!
Traditional Native American knife makers would have used the antler to chip (flake) the obsidian into shape. By shipping it, the natural elements of the stone itself creates the shape and the sharpness. Those puppies are deadly to work with, especially if they have any length to them. I've worked arrowheads and a lance lade the same way, many years ago, and it takes little time, but real care is needed. In chipping the stone, the likelihood of it shattering is heightened Thought you'd like to know how if was done in the old days and is still done by many of the traditionalists in the tribes. Like your blade's look. Wasn't expecting the smoothness. I've never seen it like that before except in small cabs. Great job.
A very clever way to make a knife. Someday I'll try. Liked. From Jordan
Good luck when you do!
Looked very nice, loved that black obsidian
Thanks!
It came out really great, and your happy dance made me laugh! Congrats on a job well done!
😂🙌
Very cool Tyler. Can you imagine making that without modern tools?
It could be done but would take forever
Yup pretty sweet
That turned out absolutely stunning Taylor! It looks so good and the handle was awesome! Awesome entry into to this year's, 2023, Makers Challenge! Great job!
Thanks so much ❤️ it was a fun project!
Wow Tyler! That is so awesome! Nice work, you should be proud!
Next time you might try using agate for your blade, maybe Montana or a seam agate or Ohio Ohio Flint. I hope to see the boys out rockhounding with you this summer. Keep up the great videos and God bless you and your family.
I hope to make a knife one day, great video, thank you for sharing
Now you need to try flint knapping an obsidian slab. I’ve done some and it’s not too hard with a little practice.
That would be fun!
Love it .... Your shop is badass .... I enjoy watching your videos they r fun cool & informative plus your pretty cute to watch ... Thank u & have a blessed day... Good luck with your challenge awesome job!!!!
That turned out super cool!
Thanks!
Saw a Guitar in the background , rock on !
🤘🤘
Great project and, as always, very entertaining video. The lines and fact that it stands on its own are so artistically engineered, awesome job. Thanks for sharing, cheers!
Thanks Karen! That tine stand worked perfectly 😅
It's a wonderful piece !! Luv it.
Well done Taylor. Yet another amazing project for The Maker’s Challenge. You always succeed to WOW us with your mad skills and….now with your dancing 😂.
Oh thank you!!
Love!
Yaaaasssssss!!!! 😃 ❤
Great project!!! Love it! FYI: when I was a freshman in highschool I had a part-time job working for a guy who made stuff out of antlers - buttons, can openers, bolo ties, belt buckles, salt and pepper shakers, etc. All the machining was done with a band saw, drill press, table sander and flannel buffing wheels with tripoli and rouge. The highly polished buttons were beautiful! The stink, tho, you will not forget!😂
Thanks Ted! Yeah I use to have a friend who was neighbors to a taxidermist and that’s the smell. I also got into making European mounts in early college and that’s the same smell!
I think you will make a ring or pendant from deer antlers....great and amazing
We will find out tomorrow!
How unique! Good luck!
Very cool. Well done!
Really creative of you! Not to downgrade your knife’s potential as a self defense tool, but it also would make an interesting knife on a charcuterie board for spreading pâté or soft cheese.
I’ll tell my wife that we will use that for cheese next time we have company! 😂
As I'm watching this in the waiting office of sleep medicine, I'm praying you really don't snow like that😂. Beautiful knife, buddy. You got skills!
It’s probably worse lol
@@AgateDad yikes!
A thick styrofoam box like a typewriter would be sold in, to put your knife blade ( into a hole you create with the antler handle and another piece to keep the blade propped up at the proper angle ) so you don’t have to sit around until the blade is set. Very nice blade and antler handle, Agate Dad. ☺️
That was a fun project!
Obsidian is definitely a slower going material to polish!
Nice job!
It was a unique stone to polish, definitely different!
Beautiful finished piece. Some mad skills and artistic ability. Congratulations on a great completion for year 3! 👏
Being a Shaman I have an antler blade but my blade is an agate arrowhead! I love it! you did a great job! The blade is amazingly beautiful! I would have loved to see a time lapse of you sitting holding it till it dried! You got a real belly laugh with that one! Awesome job! Well done!!!😁
Loved the intro. The knife is sick!! You should definitely be proud of that masterpiece!
Thanks Jason! Can’t wait for your video!
Very good I think it is perfect I love knifes 🗡️🔪 and rocks 🪨
Appreciate it!
That is an awesome knife! You did a fantastic job!!!
Great project! Make a display for it, and start working on the story behind it. You know, that time a rogue buck tried to skewer you and you fought it off with a piece of obsidian and then make the knife to remember it all while you bbq'd the venison steaks? I love hearing that one every time. ;)
OMG DAD Dancing
A hacksaw would of been a better choice also be careful with the obsidian it can be sharper than a Scalpel. Hay here is an Idea for obsidian how about making a wood plane or a draw knife. I don't know if this stuff will be able to work for wood working but this is something I thought of serval times in the past. I hope you like this idea
I thought it could be very sharp! EXTREMRLY SHARP! He shld think about doing whatever people suggested to make it sharper!
Knapping is also a recognized form of Lapidary that has been around for about a million years.
Great job, Taylor. 2 things: knives like this are usually also wrapped with soft hide, maybe a centimeter thick for more ease of use and securing. Also, are you going to knapp it?
Beautiful job on the obsidian. Since it's just glass, I was holding my breath for a great result. Which you got! ❤️🎸🏏
I meant wrapped around the join, not the entire knife.
The Knife you mede is very cqql.
Thank!
Beautiful piece. But building on your observation regarding functionality....with your craftsmanship (and if you got a piece with enough material) the addition of a tang you could make a beauty-function masterpiece.
True
@Agate Dad truly amazing craftsmanship, I just re read my comment though and realized it reads much differently than my intent. Going to edit now
It's all good, I didn't think anything weird, the tang concept is a good idea but for decorative knives, probably not necessary.
Hay you might try a jigsaw with a fine metal blade just make sure you have your deer 🦌 horn chuck up in a vice.
If you make another night, I would try napping at first that gives it a much sharper blade and it can be made the same way antler handle’s, and Redbones a perfect handles for knives like that I have one and it’s a buffalo rib bone and the obsidian blade that’s all but nabbed it looks beautiful
A flute!
...I really have no idea 😕
Maybe!
Nice! Surprised you didn’t knapp to get the sharp edge!
I don’t know how to knap
@@AgateDad - everyone had to start somewhere!
cool . where did the obsidian come from . stuff ive seen is more glassy of a texture
You need to watch some forged in fire episodes, they usually use a quick setting epoxy for setting handles
I love that show, liquid nails is what I had laying around and worked great!
To stop that adhesive tube (or any like it) from oozing, and get proper "responsiveness" and fine control - poke a small hole in the piston bottom of it. With adhesives, put and smear out a drop of oil on the pumper's piston surface too. If it's a manual, untension the pushrod when putting it down.
These tubes/cylinders "always" have a small pocket of air/gas inside from the filling process. The product material is usually incompressible. But that air bubble certainly isn't. That means it in practice acts like a spring inside the tube. So when you're pumping, you compress that bubble too. Thisnis also why pumping can be needlessly hard, and whynit feels spongy, springy, like brakes with air in them. When you stop applying pressure, that bubble is gonna start _decompressing,_ and push out content as it displaces it inside the tube.
By puncturing the bottom, in the first few pumps you evacuate that bubble.
Thank you
Where did you get the antler?? Cool project!!
Found it while deer hunting years ago
@@AgateDad That makes me a bit sad 😢 live and let live I'd say but if it was for food and you ate most of it then that's a bit better...
If you do another obsidian knife, are you going to do the flint knapping method?
I don’t know how to do that, doesn’t seem easy to just do.
😂🤣 yeah, you'll only grind bone in the house once. That smell is like burnt hair multiplied by 1,000. Looks really good. I don't know if it's possible to get obsidian to be obsidian sharp by any other way, but knapping it.
Literally 😂 I think some surgeons use it but I don’t know how in the world they get it that sharp.
