Any questions on this build I might have missed? Let me know!
Hello with the harbor freight handheld electric pipe threading machine be better than the angle grinder, just wondering thank you
@@michaelc2863 It's REALLY slow. I have a friend who tried it and said it wasn't really usable because it took so many heats to get the rotations you need. For a good twist pattern, it should look like allthread when you're done. Thanks for watching.
Okay thank you. Just wanted to know before I made a decision. I have seen some good prices on the larger pipe threader's but I don't want something that big and heavy to have to move around my shop.
Great example of why "Necessity, is the mother of ALL invention".
It certainly is, Henry! Thanks for watching
That’s genius Dennis! Very cool! I bet everyone that spent thousands on a twister will start crying!
I'm sure the expensive power twisters have their advantages too. Certainly you can't do any bar larger than 1" with mine. I haven't even tried 1", it might have a tough time with that. This one certainly works really well for stock smaller than that though. Thanks for watching!
Chubby Checker would be proud 🤣😂
Ingenious idea, best of luck 🍀
Haha, thanks for taking a look!
I've always wondered if a worn out lathe would be good for this, install a clamp in the steady rest and the use the chuck to twist your piece. Once the bedways are worn on a lathe they're pretty much worthless, they're not accurate anymore. You could probably get one really cheap.
Most small lathes don’t have a ton of torque though. I think you’d snap a gear right away. Thanks for watching
I may make one soon as I’m done with my press!
It’s a pretty easy build! Definitely get a foot pedal. 👍. Thanks for watching, Armen.
@@TyrellKnifeworks for sure! I have one for my porta band saw and it’s very useful
Great tool and presentation!! Simple is better! Thank you
Thanks for checking it out, David!
Great work as always.👍👍👍
Thanks for checking it out, Marek!
Another great video Denis. I love the simplicity of it, well done!
Thanks for checking it out, Russell!
This is genius! Very simple and very effective! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for checking it out, Gerald!
Very cool build. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for checking it out, Doug!
I want one looks awesome
It’ll be a lifesaver when doing twists. I’m going to do a Turkish twist bowie soon! 👍. Thanks for watching.
Very cool and well thought out. Love the economy level build with high utility
It’s an easy build and you can still use the drill which is the great part. Thanks for watching.
That was quite ingenious. Simple, fast and very efficient! Well done! :)
Thanks for checking it out, Paul!
Very handy. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for taking a look, David!
Great job, very practical machine, I'm using an air wrench now because my studio is so small that I don't even have a place for such a machine. Looking forward to your videos every day is the happiest thing for me.
Thanks for checking this one out! ❤️
That's a really cool and simple idea! I'll have to look into making one of my own.
Give it a try! Thanks for watching
Very cool machine. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for taking a look, Stephen!
That’s awesome! Works really well! I may have to build one.
Give it a shot, Spencer! Best part, you can still use the drill! Thanks for watching!
Awesome man! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for checking it out, Michael!
Sweet machine!
Next idea: making a Damascus pretzel twister? I'm not saying that it's a GOOD idea, but it is an idea.
Haha... is there a market for damascus pretzels? You might be on to something. 🤣
nice one. i use a modified plant shredder (had some broken parts), fixed an old lathe chuck on main gear shaft after removing the cutter. and a sledge on a i beam. got reversal too and a lot of torque.
Lots of ways to build these for sure. Thanks for watching
Great build🙂
Thanks for taking a look!
DUde... I've always wanted to try something like this!! Thanks for sharing... will likely duplicate this in my shop
On that C-Clamp... may make sense to weld a nut on it and use your impact for a quick on/off?
Yes, Rick and I discussed that as well. Honestly though, if you have kiss blocks for your press, I would suggest just doing specifically sized collets like I did for the headstock and have something you can slide them into. It's much easier and quicker to just slide the steel into the tailstock collet and then slide the whole tailstock (with steel) into the head stock. You just need to align the headstock. That would be the fastest.
Denis you are amazing !!! You have great metal working skills and that is what makes you so great at making knives. That setup makes twisting steel a breeze !!! This is a great video and would save a lot of money to do the same thing as the more expensive models. Great video to enjoy my coffee with this morning. Great cool morning here in Georgia. Just a fine day.
I’m glad you found it interesting! I wish it was cool here… it’s gonna hit 100F by noon. 🥵
@@TyrellKnifeworks 87 for a high here today
love this, may give it a shot!
Try it! It’s an easy, effective build. 👍
Nice one!!!
Thanks for checking out this build!
thats a pretty cool build.
Thanks for checking it out, Valentini!
Love it!!!
Thanks for checking it out, Neil!
Ingenuous! Great lathe on a budget!
No, it can’t be used as a lathe. There’s no lateral strength to it. The jacobs Chuck cannot withstand side load, much the same way you can’t use a drill press as a mill. This is just for twisting torque. Thanks for watching, Chris.
Great idea! Beats twisting by hand any day! Congrats on winning that huge piece of Koa at Blade!
Thanks for checking it out! I haven't used that koa yet, but I'm sure I'll find a good home for it! 😉
What an awesome device. I have more welding projects to look forward to now lol
Thanks for checking it out, Matt!
that was kewl!
Thanks for taking a look at this build. 👍
Pretty cool!
Thanks for taking a CB look, Brett!
Very very nice!!!!
Thanks for taking a look, Mike!
Definitely want to make one of these now
Give it a try!
thats a great simple design for sure im gonna have to try and make 1 this fall i think i have the steel here just need to get a drill thanks for sharing this denis looks awesome 👍👍Mark
I’m glad it’ll help you out. Thanks for watching, Mark!
Awesome video. Im going to have to make myself one. Hate twisting by hand. Main reason i dont do much twisting
Yes, I was the same way. I hated twisting by hand but I have two projects that require twists so I figured it was time to make this. 👍🏻. Thanks for watching!
nice build. Most people starting out buy a cheap stick welder and you could acheive those welds with one easily. And for anyone using none classical anvils, instead of a hardy mounting just a piece of plate to mount it in a vice.
Nice accessible power tool build, I imagine you could use the drill for grinding and sanding too as well as its intended use so overall you're not throwing money out there on a one job tool which is really cool.
Yes, two bolts and you’ve got the drill back to use. Thanks for watching
How do you only have 181k subs. Amazing content.
It’s building quickly, Jay! Thanks for watching!
That design is excellent Denis! The best part of the design is not only can you use air for cooling sections quickly, but you can use a rosebud on an Oxy-Acetylene setup to heat a section up to catch it up to another. Correct?
Such a great tool!
Yes you can use an oxy torch but heating takes longer than cooling. Great thing about the foot pedal is have free hands to do that. Thanks for checking it out, Brady!
I have to have one of these.
I built mine in a day! Give it a whirl. (Ha, whirl). Thanks for watching
Amazing setup. Need to make one myself since my shoulders are not what they used to be lol.
It's a great machine! Thanks for taking a look!
That's impressive, wouldn't have thought it would have the torque to accomplish that.
I was scared when I heard the RPMs on it but I was assured by Rick that its what Michael uses. Indeed the speed is what you want. 👍🏻
Nice build! I tried one of those from HF a few months ago and it broke something in the machine internally so I took it back. I might not have had my steel hot enough in hindsight. Hang on to that receipt and the extended warranty might be a good option since it is not designed for twisting steel.
Seems to be working good so far. Quesenberry uses the Milwaukee version and has for quite a while. I’ll see how long this one lasts. At $170 if I get a year out of it, it’s worth it.
Dude that's awesome! I have all the materials for that readily available at my shop and I'm totally going to build one. Just as soon as I'm done with the power hammer that is..🙄
Get er done! 😜. Thanks for watching
@@TyrellKnifeworks dude I'm excited I was looking at buying a whole new big machine but I can build that with s*** I have laying around the shop! That is absolutely brilliant
@@blaneyblades4810 yup, I literally went to a harbor freight, bought the drill, got the steel tube and finished this build in a day. 👍
Well it is nice to see that you are okay and well. You have not been posting that much lately
Still a Triple-T every week plus the recent katana build. 👍. Thanks for watching, Mark
Looks like a great system Dennis. One question. Why not put the drill upside down so you could use the trigger add designed? As always thanks for sharing!
That certainly is a possible design. Rick has his horizontal. It's a more complicated build, since that drill is very heavy, you need a bracket to hold it up. The foot pedal is a great addition because you have both hands free, so I would recommend it as I have it with the addition of the foot pedal. Thanks for watching, Stephen.
Muito bom !
Obrigado por assistir esta construção!
Hello with the harbor freight handheld electric pipe threading tool be better than the angle grinder??
The handheld pipe threader is too slow. You'd be here for many heats. It has more torque than the right angle drill but it takes forever. The right angle drill can handle 3/4" twisting which is find for most uses.
very cool! What are your thoughts on just using your press as the clamp and using the rig off of it? eliminates some complications with releasing a hot piece of steel that in this design drops out of the super hog.
randomly, the last super hot setup I made was for drilling through laminate, steel, concrete, then steel layers in floor tiles. my boss burned through 3 drills before he believed me we need a super hog. after that it was just burning through drill bits ... and getting seized ones out. hahaha
I’ve done that, use the press as a clamp, but it’s actually harder to twist when it’s horizontal. Thanks for watching
Just noticed (new viewer) but you have really mesmerising eyes!
Thanks! And thanks for watching.
How do you make the foot pedal or do you have to buy one and were would you get it from
It’s just a foot switch you plug something into. You can get them on Amazon. Thanks for watching.
Very cool tool!!
On the topic of twisting:
Is it possible to twist copper damascus, if the copper is completely surrounded by damascus steel? (Copper only on the inside of the billet and top and bottom welded shut)
Or is the heat required for twisting too much for the copper?
Thanks a lot in advance!
No, it will shear apart if you do this. The copper bond is a brazing bond and can't withstand any lateral stress like a twist would impart. Not to mention, you'd have copper on the edge if you just used that for a knife. Thanks for watching.
Ferric chloride and ferric nitrate if heated up will give a patina/rust look to copper. Not the blood red look but in that small amount it could blend with the red liner
I have another process I’m going to try. Stay tuned! Thanks for watching
Really cool. Question, what is a Texas Twist?
It’s a screwup when someone meant to say Turkish twist. 😜
Just a thought, if you have a door at either end of your forge, would running the bar through the forge and having the twister hold it at each end - thus maintaining the billet temperature give a more consistent twist?
You wouldn’t be able to see it and you’d destroy the drill almost immediately. Sounds like a bad idea, sorry. Besides, with this twister, you can twist in a single heat anyway. Thanks for watching, Matt.
@@TyrellKnifeworks thanks for the explanation, I did consider that as making it impractical to twist in the forge. If these weren’t an issue and you could twist it while in the forge, or without cooling at all, would it twist more evenly, or will it come down to the actual steel where it is less consistent?
@@stegles twisting is all about heat, so if you somehow kept it hot, it would twist nicely.
@@TyrellKnifeworks thank you, and thank you for taking the time to both make these videos and answer questions.
Damnit why did you make this video!!!! I was going fishing this weekend but you just screwed that up now I got to make one LOL. Just kidding I got a 48 inch saw blade I got to cut up and make some knives. I was told they made great knives if anyone knows please let me know. thanks and great video
Depends on the saw blade. I suggest you heat treat and do a snap test first so you know. Thanks for watching, Richard!

So for forging swords, you selling or have the option for a viewer to tell you what they want and they pay the price for it or nah
Sorry, I don’t do custom orders. I just sell what I make for the channel. Thanks for watching
@@TyrellKnifeworks sounds good man. I love your projects and all the dedication you put towards them. 🙏
Whos Micheal Quisenberry? How do I see his work. Im curiius on what the texas twist is? Haha
Thanks.
There’s a link to his Instagram in the video description. You’ll be impressed for sure. Thanks for watching, Hector
To make this even cheaper would a hand crank do the same job as the electric drill ?
Yeah but why? For $170 for the drill, it’s worth it. Thanks for watching, Steve.
@@TyrellKnifeworks I’m a hobbyist and don’t make a lot of knives.
The twister would also be good for tightening cable damascus
It depends on the thickness of cable. This dill won’t twist much thicker than 1”.
Will this rig twist a 1 inch plus square bar?
1 inch is about it's max. I've done 3/4" with no problems but I'm not sure it'll do anything thicker than an inch. Thanks for watching, Joe.
@@TyrellKnifeworks I was looking at the harbor, freight, portable pipe, threader as an option. I know guys use the big rigid Stan mounted versions, but like you said, those are in the thousands of dollars. They say that portable one will thread a 2 inch pipe so I’m wondering if it’s got enough grunt for sale 1 1/4 bar? my thinking is that for twisted W’s, you’re better off cutting out the middle of the bar once you get done twisting it if you really want to expose the best pattern. A 1 in.² would leave you .33 by one, which is probably barely enough to forge out into a 2 inch wide piece for a chefs knife.
@@joem5903 Better to forge weld them together in a turkish twist anyway. It looks better and you can use 5/8" twisted bars. Checkout my Triple-T video on turkish twist I did to see that pattern.
@@joem5903 On the portable pipe threader, it may work but they are really slow. That's an issue. You're going to be doing a bunch of heats in order to get that twisted.
@@TyrellKnifeworks that is correct, but there’s also a colorable argument that the drill is too fast and you might end up twisting a bar in half.. Lol.
Very good and it works well, I'm thinking the even dumber version might be just to make up some collets for the chuck and stick the other hot end in the bench vise.
Fairly sure if it would turn into a 1000C murder noodle if you give it too much speed on the drill end but you know, we're knife makers and not OH&S reps :)
Murder noodle…🤣🤣🤣. Love it. Yeah that might work. Though the tube steel is pretty cheap. Thanks for watching, Kris!

You sound like an older Saul Goodman
Ha, I'll take that as a good thing. 🤣. Thanks for watching.
Why don't more people use induction forges?
Induction forges aren’t generally good for knife makers. The create very localized heat. You’d still need a fuel forge for heat treating or making Damascus. Thanks for watching, Willard.
Bonjours , la torsion du Damas existe depuis des millénaire et ils n'utilisait pas des machines électrique , je s'est s'est un gagne de temps , mais sa ne m'odiffit il pas la torsion et la solidité du métal ?
Je ne suis pas sûr de comprendre votre question. Je pense que cela a peut-être été perdu dans la traduction. Merci d'avoir regardé.

@@TyrellKnifeworks hahaha... a cut off from that Katana would be an awesome bonus 😘
@@mcrich1978 hahaha
A reducing gearbox and a 1hp motor cost less than that drill, and have way more power.
Totally untrue on the cost. Try to find a reducing gearbox for less than $250 not to mention the motor. You don’t need more power anyway, you want the speed so you don’t need to do a bunch of heats.
Wow I can't tell you the last time I got a notification you posted a video. Way to go pootube.
New videos every week! Thanks for coming back and watching!
Make balinese keris
It’s on my list to make. Thanks for watching
@@TyrellKnifeworks thank you i love your works ☺️ Cant wait to see you making Balinese keris 🙏
Anyone else thinking homemade lathe?
You mean use this as a lathe? It doesn't have the precision and rigidity of a lathe chuck. You'd get yourself in trouble putting a lathe tool up to this. Just like how a drill press isn't suitable as a mill, this has the same problem. Thanks for watching.
looks like you now have what it takes to make a spiral jagdkommando tri-blade, perforated dagger out of sexy damascus, just sayin...
