CHAD MAKES HIS FIRST KNIFE WITH ME Pt. 2

[@josephhuckbody3973]

One thing nobody could ever accuse you of is being a slacker. Putting in the long hours is commendable.

[@War2Teacher]

The sequence from 13:20 - 15:15 was fire. Great shots with great music.

[@dlbknives4869]

Good job Chad.....you're lucky to have such a good teacher.

[@thomashackerforgedknives2533]

I'm wondering the same thing as a few others. Why the heating and wire brushing? It looks as though you are straightening and thermal cycling the knife with the heating and clamping in the vice, but why the wire brush?

[@blackdog850]

From a very humble, but obviously productive shop to your present one...how cool to see you building on your success! Great video and enjoyed watching both of you working. Great job Chad! :)

[@spanierjuan]

There are very little people who would work that much and then spend even more time to show his employers something new. A true Sensei

[@jawaaddavids6625]

Epic video guys!! cant wait for part 2 :) Quick question I would like to forge a kitchen knife as well & I noticed at the end you guys heated the blades up before wire wheeling the profiles. It looks awesome! Is there some teaching behind it? Thanks in advance. Joe

[@tomim7187]

Go, Chad! Great work. hats off to the camera operator and the editing. Really professional.

[@skipsargent]

Why do you heat the blade and then hit it with the wire bruch on the angle grinder? Softening the finish on the edge?

[@scotthagens6613]

Chad, you narrowly missed thinning. You guys rock!

[@05dcummins]

I am curious what the wire wheel in the angle grinder was for? I assume somewhat polish and blend everything together? Also what steel are you guys using? Might say that in the next video

[@ToNe-1733]

I really enjoy this video more then I thought it would. Great job! Your knife is giving me the fizz!

[@cjanderson66]

Another episode of Jay and Silent Bob. Way to go Chad...

[@billyraydavis3400]

Wish I could Apprentice under you sir you are a master my grandfather was a Smith I spent my summers pumping the bellows before he passed if you ever need someone let me know I would be honored to study under a master such as you

[@maknifeandrods7701]

nice. how lucky. How many apprentices get their own Journeyman knife smith too teach them. in the shop they work.

[@Zogg1281]

Both of those knives look sweet, but Chad's one is my favourite....... sorry Liam. Can't wait to see the 3rd part 😊

[@Emperor_Hans]

Awesome effort guys! It is unfortunate that you guys have to stretch your time so thin to keep people coming to the channel. But it is variety that will defiantly help. Cool choice to bring us. Even small metal working tutorials will help. Belt Buckles, Rings, Key chain stuff. Even if you have done it before they all can be different. Keep on Choppin! And thanks for the show.

[@whazee]

I'm loving this! I'll be forging a chef knife later this year and this is perfect! 😁👍

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Very Cool grinding technique's.

[@patmancrowley8509]

Looks like fun, guys.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

*What a great profile so far! Love.. Keep it up*

[@PJTForging]

Forge a pizza. Then eat it. In slow mo. In a cinematic sequence. Please.

[@thepatientartisan]

Dammit Liam, a respirator, use a respirator man! You can't have your face that close to the grinder and not snort a kilogram of steel dust! I'm wagging my finger at you! That s#!+ will ruin your day at the very least.

[@thepatientartisan]

@@HoffmanBlacksmith96 I know, you've mentioned it before but you lobbed that one in, I had to take a cut at it. More often than not I see you wearing your respirator. Love the videos buddy! Looking forward to the next one.

[@gustavfranklin]

@@HoffmanBlacksmith96 Good, we like you not dead. :)

[@kenglass1980]

Is Chad special?

[@lachy1709]

Hey I made that 3foot belt grinder joke on your Instagram when you first got it

[@benedictdelacruz2535]

that looks like something out from a sci-fi movie.

[@crashwelder5337]

chad is fortunate

[@steven_farmer89]

I don’t blacksmith so this isn’t criticism but a question, why did you not forge the the thickness down more, it seems pretty thick at the handle and at the spine. It just looks like you could save time grinding and save belts. I like how the knives are looking. I like chads profile more, I like the curve at the tip. Great work Liam

[@timhooper1557]

So it doesn't warp during heat treat? that's my guess... Disclaimer... Also not a blacksmith!

[@okboston9086]

Because, in a survival situation you want something to act as a ramp if you run off the road and end up in alligator infested quicksand surrounded by tarpits, you can throw the knife on the ground and dtive straight up the spine and back onto the road, away from those damn alligators

[@robertharvey4098]

Forge thick grind thin

[@patrickvis7373]

So on my “Trapper” can you put a “waffle” head pattern in it as I only plan to use it to drive tent stakes? Besides I’m old and like one off customs.

[@erikolsen6269]

I have a lumberjackshirt similar to yours, im not as ripped as you tho, so it doesnt look as good on me:(

[@samuelcoffman392]

What are the tubes for behind the platen always wondered that I've never seen them on any other grinder

[@jpbturbo]

Samuel Coffman I think that’s the water cooling option to help keep the temp down on the flat platen.

[@2tall884ua]

Chad won he got his thin(narrow) knife the closest close up.

[@coreypetttit]

Does anyone know where I could purchase a light with the magnetic base like there using while grinding? TIA

[@05dcummins]

eBay/Amazon sewing machine light might bring the right answer for you

[@DulishusWaffle]

Does poor Chad get paid overtime?

[@jamescorvett]

you guys really should be wearing some sort of dust mask or respirators. you might not think its bad right now but 10-20 yrs from now your lungs will be rusting. even cheap dust masks can help stop most metal dust inhalation. and a cheap $20 mic can help us hear you better.

[@jayeales3076]

hi Liam its gate to see you are passing on your skills

[@em3debo]

I've never used a respirator while grinding and I'm fine. Are you guys a couple not judging just wondering?

[@tailormade81582]

Chad blows Liam. I guess that makes chad a gay. Not too sure how that works.

[@lancebarajas6484]

Just because you don't have any effects now doesn't mean you won't later in life. Those fine steel bits settle into the avioli in your lungs and slowly cut and scar your tissues, eventually causing permanent, life threatening damage. There's no reason not to grind with PPE

[@bobsmith-st9lq]

Chad looks a little tired.

[@ziploc53]

Chad needs a mic.

[@tuckerabbott]

What for he doesn't talk

[@chadmccormick8763]

tucker abbott that’s why😂
