Tradional joints with riviting and mortise/tenom would be another great option. Cool design.

I’m just starting out and I’m glad I found your channel. I really went overboard for a knife I wanted to make my wife for Christmas… it took way longer than I expected. And I was still unhappy with it. A Kris is not a good starter blade, lol! I need to figure out how to make the lines crisp after forging during the grinding and finish process. I need to start smaller and milder materials. But, I made a full tang blade with a bolster and a pinned pommel with a stacked leather grip. All hardened steel and quenched it was either a chunk of car spring or hardened railroad spikes, I don’t remember. That was with a 2 pound sledgehammer and railroad track. Just the small anvil I bought just recently would have probably made it go a whole lot faster. I’ve been putting it off, but I think I’m going to have to buy a welder. I’ve never used a mig welder. welding in general kinda scares me, I worry about getting shocked somehow. I’ve got a spinal stimulator in my back and haven’t used it in several years… it would be my luck I’d get shocked and that thing would go haywire and leave my back in even worse shape. I need it for making hardy hole tools and to weld a bar on the end of a work piece. I’ve only got one set of tongs and they barely hold a spike. I lose a whole lot of work time just from constantly dropping the piece I’m trying to hold. I don’t have a vice yet either but I think I can pick up a cheap welder used for cheaper than a leg vice, and it would allow me to do more than I vice would on its own. I can’t spend much time at the anvil because of my back. I may get to spend an hour out there if I’m lucky, and that puts me stuck in bed for a few days. I just always wanted to do this sort of stuff and this was my chance even if I’m having to fight my own back the entire time. Best of luck.

Just beautiful craftsmanship. Never worked with copper…it seems a bit more malleable than mild steel?

This deserves more views! I’ve been studying smithing for years from books, KZbin, and anyone I could find who shares the passion. It’s to nice to know that there is a smithing school in Ohio.

I am mostly a woodcarver but i sometimes use copper or other metals as an inlay material. I enjoyed watching you work as it gives me ideas to use in my own shop. New subscriber!

in my 70's just ordered a small propane forge (not arrived yet) youtubing for how to make tongs etc. and came across this, we moved into this house over 40 years ago and one of the first trees we planted was a Ginko, it's going on 30 ft. now, in autumn the leaves go brilliant yellow and as we sweep them up we always joke that they look like Ducks feet. Subscribed and after tongs and a spring fuller this will be my first project, Many thanks Danny

I've read that copper can't be hardened like ferrous metal. Does hammering the copper harden it sufficiently to hold the shape of the barrette? I noticed the Milwaukee band saw ... did you simply clamp the handle into your vise? Your work is outstanding. Thank you for the video!
