There's no practical benefit to forging it as opposed to stock removal. The benefit of stock removal for this, on the other hand, is that you can get the exact same tool in a fraction of the time, for something this simple. There are times where forging makes sense, and can save time, but this isn't one of those times.

The love of learning and teaching is what made civilization =) It's kind of funny, but if i became the last person on this planet and i found a place like yours.. then im pretty confident i could make both an axe and a knife fairly easy. It wouldn't be the prettiest one and maybe it would break with time but still, i could make one as i've learned how to. No need to reinvent tempering! It's the same with other things i've learned here. I can build a hut out of mud and some twigs and then make pottery. I know how to weld and how to use a router, table saw, glue stuff, make dowels ...... etc etc ....... of course my hands need to learn it too, but there theory and understanding is there :) Wherever i look now i see so many possibilities. All the ways to solve problems. There's no wealth like the wealth of knowledge and insight! Great video as always! Lovely garden!

Best blacksmith in youtube, watched quite a few actually. By the way, it's true what you said about the camera seeing different colors on the red hot steel, several blacksmiths also mentioned it in their videos. My guess (wild guess) is that it has to do with infrared light coming from the heat, something cameras can see but we do not. The camera thing is easy to prove, if anyone is curious. Just point a tv remote to a camera (smartphone camera is fine) and push any button on the remote.

Well cheap cameras lack an ir-filter and that messes up big time, but the general problem is exposure. Our eyes are able to pick up a vast dynamic range, form bright to dark at the same time. A camera can not

@sumgai76 жыл бұрын
I've struggled to drill handle scale holes (for pins) myself. Here're a few of my "learnings". ALWAYS make sure your scales are flat with the faces parallel! NEVER forget to drill the holes in the steel BEFORE hardening (don't ask me how I know that - too many times. :-)). Drill a centering dimple first, preferably with a "spotting" bit but a center drill is OK. Then drill in steps, starting with a 1/8" / 3mm or so. (Don't use too many small steps, though; you want to have the hole's edges maybe halfway across the cutting edges of the bit so it's taking a big-enough bite, not just the very outer edges of the bit's point.) And - very important rule! - *"a 1/4" pin will NOT fit in a 1/4" hole!"* For a 1/4" (0.25") pin, use an "F" drill bit (0.257"). For a 1/8" (0.625") pin, use a #52 bit (0.0635"), etc. Now, to drill the scales, clamp one to the knife, drill through from the metal side. USE A BACKING PIECE OF WOOD to prevent tearout (and/or use a spur-point bit with outer cutting edges, specifically for drilling wood). Take it off, clamp the other scale, repeat. (Finally: *always* clamp metal when drilling, and of course always wear eye protection and *never* wear gloves, rings, watches, bracelets long-sleeves, or long hair, anywhere *near* a drill press.
