I know this is an old vid, but its brilliant. of the hundreds of log press vid on youtube, you'd the first one to mount it direct to the ram verses the carrier arms.

I don’t tend to love the scandi grind, but you pulls it off well. I would love to see a flat grind in the future!

Where do you get your polishing compounds please

Can you heat treat a store knife into and improve its quality.

gave up on regritting the mdf wheel, made an 8" plywood wheel, glued on 240 grit emery sandpaper, lasting over 50 sharpening and still going without any signs of failing!!!!

Many people don't realize how sharp an edge you can get on these if you hammer and work harden the edge before honing it. Do a quick google search for bronze age razors. You will find that there are actually quite a few of them. I don't know that I would want to shave with one. I imagine it being as much scraping as actually shaving, but either way, it puts an end to the idea that bronze tools are inferior. I have actually thought of making one just for the fun of trying it out.

This is so intresting i use to live at selworthy with my parents till june 72 then moved to allerford stayed there till august 79 then moved to wales i live in doll mid wales been back in 19 the past mems surfaced up keep up this good work love playing thid video please all take care 5:53 5:55

What finish?

Its all relative... I actually really like my Dartmoor knife, had it about 20 years and used it well. The original grind was horrid but thats long since been reprofiled and the survival kit in the handle is a pathetic gimmick and a complete 80s throwback. Nevertherless i really get on with the blade geometry and size. I just like the feel of it and find it easy to use. If i could replace the fairly poor stainless steel with high carbon, full tang and not hollow handle then i would... otherwise i really like it.

It is not micarta. Micarta is a trade name for linnen based material and impregnated with phenolic resin. People often name ir wrong.

I’ve also got a Bronze Age axe mould that I would like to have a reproduction made of, do you have a way of contacting you ?

Hi Sean, just wanted to say keep your head up. The same water that softens the potato, hardens the egg. The community are highly anticipating your next video. All the best mate.

Great skills ,but you need to clear up your work area befor you trip and have an accident

Beautiful.

Your wife probably wants to know how to stabilize your wood too

Nice work ❤❤❤❤❤

Do you plan on posting a full video at any point? I want to make a vertical electric press (like yours)but I can only find a couple of examples

Aesome video dude!

Great design ,looking at doing a similar design , you're spot on about the welding tho , lol

tis' the season.... to try making micarta out of shiny wrapping paper and/or hologram wrapping paper... please

Nice work ! But how you put the lame?😮

Awesome! So pleased to see it being used. Hope to catch up soon Sean

Hey Mr. Exmoor!! Your knives are ALL very unique and beautiful!! I'm not really a knife maker but I must tru to be as my youngest son needs a custom handle on a blade we had laying around... it's going to be a special present for his father's birthday in a few weeks! I was thinking about doing some kind of wooden and epoxy handle, but I honestly don't know how to stabilize wood, do not own a pressure pot, and probably have fairly cheaper epoxy resin and mediocre wood to choose from.... I also have not much experience with resin and I haven't actually figured out quite how to get it all just right so ANY ADVICE OR TIPS u may have for me on this special project would be so greatly appreciated and we would consider ourselves ever so blessed to have the advice or knowledge come from a man of such beautiful knife making!!! Last thing: keep up the awesome work and we like watching your videos!!! 👍🤘👏👏

Well that was lucky. Fancy loosing your mold. You were very lucky to find it again.

That's way way cool

hi mate, pleased to see you back on here again and hope you are doing ok mate, well happy for you with your find and that you have got this from it is amazing and well deserved after all you go though, genuinely pleased for you

Stoked that this happened. Made my day. I had so hoped the axe mould would be used. As I said this was meant to be found by Sean. Thanks 🙏 to you all.

Awesomeness 🎉great work

If you just switch the leads after you have etched to the positive on the cotton buds it will black the etching really nicely that’s what I do 👍

Definitely need a much more stable forge stand.😮

Tip if ya have scrap stainless sheet(not foil), tubing, etc for use as a can, check it with a magnet make sure enough nickle content the magnet doesn't stick, then you know that it is good stainless.

From Florida glad you found that treasure!

Incredibly incredible! Wow!

Gracias por el vídeo. Interesante.

Good work mate, as usual.

I bought one of these knives many many years ago. From what I understand was its first run. I have No.69 of 500, stamped on the blade somehow. Unfortunately I don't have the box but I do have all the other original bits that came with it. Found in in my attic recently then found your video.

What a find!

evening mate, good to see you on here again

Don't open the can inside the shed. I speak from experience.

Is it still kicking strong today ? Looking to get one

Will this work with the comgrow laser too

That's bledy mint pal...👍👍🤙👌

So cool!

Absolutely fantastic mate. You really deserve this find & everything that comes with it.

🤓That is cool! I want one. It is also super to see you back

Absolutely fantastic! I'm so glad for you! Great find! ❤

Epic find Sean, definitely a cut above the rest.

Well done !!! atb

Wow, what an amazing find! Can't wait to see the first casting in the 3D replica. Thanks for sharing.
