What bottles did you use as raw material?

[@ianlai5604]

This channel is so underrated. Thank you KZbin algorithm for recommending this!

[@frelnc]

I would imagine you have had hundreds of contacts from folks to make handles for their knives. This is absolutely stunning. Love your videos.

[@carnright]

Using the washer, genius!

[@BrothersMake]

Haha its a nifty trick!

[@craftsmanwoodturner]

@@BrothersMake I didn't spot it first time around, I had to go back and watch the video again. Luckily, it was quite early on. For anyone else puzzled about this comment, at around 0:31 they draw around the knife tang using a washer to provide a uniformly oversized template for moulding the plastic.

[@sudo_nym]

That’s my take away tip!

[@albertoserna3968]

The color of the plastic is awesome❤

[@ВадимКузнецов-з2й]

... молодец парень!-, отличная получилась рукоятка ножа, я приблизительно точно так-же делаю, но только из пробок от пластиковых бутылок, раньше делал наборные из бересты/ коры берёзы/ или из кожи, пробки, теперь делаю накладные из пластика, здоровья тебе и удачи во всём, новых творческих успехов 👍👍👍😜🤭😁😉👏🤔🇷🇺!!!

[@made_by_jon]

I've been collecting HDPE bits slowly because I wanted to try exactly this on one of my blades. Would love to see how it's holding up months from now. Love your vids!

[@BrothersMake]

Thanks Jon! Be sure to send us a pic if you do, would love to see it 😊

[@FoxTCG]

Would love to hear if you’ve tried this by now, I’d like to know if it’s a durable handle material compared to other materials

[@Bro-yp7vk]

The mustard was the real reason this was so cool

[@BrothersMake]

😂😂

[@reallyhorribleenterprises]

@@BrothersMake Really, though. If you can find the French's bottles that are clear (Dijon, grainy, etc.), those are the best because you can see how much glue you have left.

[@francoscanfe9627]

bravo ,sei un artista

[@jeffcarr392]

3:47 to 4:00 I was suprised how much the colour changed from before you twisted to after. It appears the black centre layer of the bottles you used came out to the surface after the twist.

[@BrothersMake]

Yeah they really become more prominent as soon as you start twisting with this particular bottle type!

[@paulwiggins183]

That mustard glue is the best. I use it everyday.

[@Ross-2077]

Love it, I enjoy making mica scales but ill have to try HDPE scales, they are definitely more environmentally friendly with no epoxy required

I'll tell you a little secret .... For the handles of the knives .... The holes at the external surfaces of the handles (no matter the material) must be conical!!!!!! After with the ball hammer make the heads of the pins in both sides!!!! Best Regards from Hellas (Greece)

[@rman8028]

To quote Crocodile Dundee, 'That's a knoife!' Hope you're both doing well, mates. Not knocking how you're doing the quarantine videos, but I miss the interaction between you two, and your interaction with the camera. That said, let's all stay safe together by staying apart.

[@BrothersMake]

Haha thanks bud! Yeah us too for sure, we're hoping to get back into the workshop together again in the next few weeks, so you should hopefully see us back on screen again soon! 🤙🏼

[@khatfull]

Three things: 1) Awesome job! Those scales look great (as does the entire knife)! 2) Do we really know what kinds of glue will work with the HDPE sufficiently to adhere to a tang? Has anyone glued some up without pins and tried to rip them off to see what the adhesion was like. 3) I just looked out in my garage...every single motor oil and ATF bottle was #2 HDPE. If you want a ready source of HDPE< hit your buddies up for their old oil bottles. My Mobil1 comes in a nice shiny gray/silver color (to mix with black), some STP oil of my son's was a sort of sparkly red, I think the colors would be endless. You'd just have to clean them well but heck...drain good, strip them up. into a tub of hot water and soap, I think you could do it fine. Thoughts?

[@BrothersMake]

1) thanks! 2) yeah, we’ve done a decent amount of testing and it’s just so non-porous that the glue has a hard time. Apparently there are specialist glues that could possibly work but we haven’t found the need to investigate that 3) we have actually used oil and antifreeze bottles already, they’re a great source of HDPE!

[@senihandcraft]

nice video how to make it and the result is beautiful

[@BrothersMake]

Thank you!

[@netobatera2010]

Lindo...parabéns. Que material é esse, para não grudar o plástico na hora de derreter? Grato.

[@vahagonskikh538]

Прикольно получилось👍 но больстер не надо клеить его нужно просто было расклепать. Тогда бы небыло видно следов самих пинов, точнее клея , выглядело бы как единое целое🤝

Wow !!

[@jamesjames_07]

LOVE this

[@BrothersMake]

Thanks James!

[@jacobhope6164]

Wow! That turned out great! Do you think putting some texture on HDPE scales would work? Maybe by filing in some cross hatching, or a similar technique?

[@BrothersMake]

Thank Jacob! It will certainly help a little, we actually did this around the 9:30 Mark 😊
