Stories like yours are very much the exception. YT is especially bad about showing ventures that magically work the first time. It's contributed to the misguided thinking that success is guaranteed, and that you'll be making big bucks right away. Reality often has other plans, yet we very rarely hear about it. Thank you for the honesty.

really nice work. You make it look easy. Question: Is the material on top of the griddle a piece of molding foam?

@themattenthehat 21 күн бұрын

damn years later in a world surrounded by supersteels with mediocre heat treats, did you say that was the edge retention you're getting from A2? That's really impressive.

Aaron, I have a couple questions if you don't mind. 1. What is vacuum hardening and the cost? I use only Pops 8670 steel now because I don't have to normalize it. Would I benefit by using a service to do this hardening? I harden using propane and firebricks and quench in Parks 50. I've really no idea what Rockwell hardness I'm getting but I can get the knife sharp enough to shave arm hair..lol. 2. What grit sandpaper do you use for your satin finish? Thanks, Glen

I gained a whole new appreciation for how you design and make your knives by watching this video several times. You are really good with the CAD drawing and also with the milling and finishing processes. I like the little knife a lot...very Kool !! I may try those stones....I do a lot of hand sanding so if they help that's great. Thank you Aaron...great video.

i want to thankyou. You were right in your advice about why i was having problems grinding the second bevels. I switched to a fresh new 40 grit belt and both grinds turned out great. It was faster and easier grinding also and grind lines stayed in alignment too. I hadnt changed belts because i only had the one zirconia belt but i changed to a fresh aluminum oxide this time and what a difference. Again...thanks. Glen

i really like all your equipment and machines. Your shop is so nice and clean...great work environment. Knife looks terrific. Noticed you air cooled instead of oil quench to harden. What kind of steel are you using ?

Nowadays many knifemakers are using CNC, lasers, mills etc....and thats fine but those knives are mostly machine made production knives and arent really hand made customs. You have an amazing shop with state of the art equipment and make great knives. I've been making knives only 2 years and every one is hand made and unique. It takes me 30-40 hours labor to make a knife by hand but the self satisfaction is great in return. Ivve never sold one or tried to...i do them as just a hobbyist in my retirement. I consider them works of art and would find it hard to part with them. I use decent steel but not high end steels because i cant heat treat them properly. I use mostly exotic woods which are costly but beautiful. I use some basic power tools like a belt sander, drill press, bandsaw, bench grinder for polishing wheels and a Dremel...thats it. As a retiree hobbyist maker, I cannot afford heat treating ovens, surface grinders, mills and lathes like most professional use today. Making knives by machine does not impress me since they are for production sales. Heck i can buy a beautiful machine made SS D2 steel knife with fancy bevel grinds and a nice Kydex sheath made in China for $40 on Amazon . It is the hand made aspect that a machine cannot do that is creative and satisfying to me.

Don't get stuck in the trap of trying to hold yourself above other people. Focus on yourself and doing the best work you can in the way you enjoy most... That's what I'm doing, and what you see in this video. Other people making things in different ways is something to be celebrated and learned from. Time should be spent helping others and trying to enhance the community as a whole, not wasted trying to talk down to folks like you are here.

@@GoughCustom I'm not holding myself above anyone. I'm simply stating what I do as a hobbyist as opposed to doing it as a business. Businesses streamline and mechanize to speed up their process and perhaps improve quality using machines for profitability. I just do old fashioned custom hand work for pleasure and accomplishment. Two different worlds.

@GoughCustom 29 күн бұрын

You said "making knives by machine does not impress me" and you took the time to write that comment on a video that is entirely about making knives with machines. It certainly comes across as wanting to position yourself above others! I have thick skin, you have to in order survive on KZbin, but it's worth pointing out that's how it came across. All methods of knifemaking are valid in my book! Bonus points for learning, having fun, developing new techniques and helping advance the craft by sharing your knowledge and learning.

@@GoughCustom I'm not saying knives made by machines are not good, but heck anyone with the money to afford fancy machines can set them up to crank out knives. That to me isn't as impressive as hand made craftsmanship. Hundreds of companies crank out millions of knives with machines but there are many like me that make them by hand too and that's not as easy as having machines make them. I'm not faulting your knives or methods. You are in a business for a profit and there is nothing wrong with that and I happen to like your knives. I'm old 77 and my father taught me craftsmanship....I think the old ways are more impressive...that's all.

@GoughCustom 28 күн бұрын

Hey Glen! Having made many knives by hand, AND many with the use of machinery I can tell you right now there's nothing less accurate than "anyone with the money for the machines can crank them out"... I'd recommend having a look at a few of my CAD videos to see what goes into modeling the knives, then there's programming the toolpaths, tool selection, fixture design, etc... Setting up a process to machine blades to a high level of quality requires a MUCH broader and deeper skillset than making knives by hand! And that's if you "play on easy mode" and just buy brand new fancy machines. All of my machines are older (1994-1996) and I buy them used/broken and fix them up as I can't afford brand new CNC machines that are $100k or more. I'm sure it's hard to believe until you experience both hand making and using CNC machinery, but having done both for the last 25 years I can assure you it's true!

Anyone know of a detailed tutorial video on PVD Diamond Like Coating your 1080/1084 high carbon steel knifes? I can't find anything on DLC coating knifes just videos saying that it's the best or comparison guides! I need a step by step guide to DLC coat my 1080/1084 steel knifes

Unfortunately it's absolutely not something that you can DIY... The machines they use to apply PVD coatings on 'large' object like knives cost around a million dollars each.
