Cleaver from two Farriers rasps.

[@jjppres]

Well done Gary! I like the look. Never thought of welding 2 rasps together. Great idea!

[@swdweeb]

Would the critics really say that? 😄😄 Saw this on Instagram earlier and have been looking forward the build

[@garyhuston]

😂😂you know they would say worse!

[@johnmccanntruth]

Really nice job Gary! Looks great, shiny, cool rasp pattern, the shape is great and the antler tops it off. Well done.

[@garyhuston]

Glad you like it

[@michaelhutchison9601]

Excellent work !!!

[@garyhuston]

Thanks a lot!

[@richardbryant7972]

Great idea, thanks for the video. God bless

[@JorgePetraglia2009]

Amazing idea to make a cleaver. Your skills as a welder are second to none amigo. Greetings from Toronto.

[@garyhuston]

Thank you 😊

[@edanthony4131]

I am forever in your debt for that "bag trick." I harden antlers and bones before I use them for scales by vacuuming them with thinned 50/50 acetone-acrylic, and that glue bag trick will be the icing on the cake for attaching them. Thanks...

[@tomrobinson4935]

That epoxy in the bag is bloody genius.

[@garyhuston]

Thanks

[@SouthFLFarrierShorts]

Lovely work and job well done. Who cares what critics say?!? It’s not in their hands.

[@57Koba]

Wow! Fabulous work! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video.

[@garyhuston]

Thank you very much!

[@kootenaiblades946]

Just wanted to say, thank you sir. Your channel is very inspiring. I've been messing around with making knives for about 9 years. Just a hobby. In fact, your ferrier rasp video is what got me going to purchase a forge. So now, I've got to try making this cleaver. Hope it turns out as good as yours did. Cheers!

[@garyhuston]

Thanks, hope it goes well!

[@soratorus9649]

The issue of the softer central antler material could be sorted at both ends by adding metal bolsters and pommel , and along the handle length by removing majority of thickness from the softer centre before the actual final fitting up. Nice job Gary , you're a talented , cleaver chap !!

[@vpolarbear]

Hello Gary, It Was a Pleasure to watch you make this Cleaver! and a Fnatastic Job you Did to it!! Very Nice Gary!

[@garyhuston]

Thanks

[@rusticsmith4074]

Great work! Love your rustic approach yet comes out perfect. Your a great artist, I'm learning so much from your videos, thanks

[@tomharrell1954]

The blacksmith could get a job anywhere in the world as a master welder!!!!!

[@garyhuston]

Thanks.

[@kootenaiblades946]

I ended up making one, followed your makings to a "T" ....came out chapping. Bees knees...I gave it the beans...cuts through paper with ease...Cheers mate!

[@johnjude2685]

You can make it look easy and following you it does help. Hay you just got me thinking the top can be mild steel , something to try Gary I always learn at a relaxing lesson .Thanks you Sir.

[@garyhuston]

I did think about that but wanted to keep the pattern.

[@444chains]

That’s a really neat trick with the epoxy. Love your work Gary, thanks for the videos.

[@garyhuston]

Very welcome

[@reneemills-mistretta790]

That butcher knife turned out beautifully. Well done. ThankQ for sharing. Florida 🇺🇸

[@smokinvalves]

Beautiful work, Gary. Over and above the workmanship, my favourite part was when you said "I'm going to see if I can get some nice penetration. I'm going to go from the back and hopefully it won't bend too much."

[@samarchist74]

That epoxy trick is genius!

[@TufStockdogs]

Great to start at very nicer looking there thank you for sharing this

[@honeycuttracing]

Very nice idea and follow through sir!!

[@garygilbert1440]

Watched your video, then went on eBay and bought 5 more farrier rasps. Love the cleaver project.

[@williamlott7612]

Epoxy in a bag, brilliant! Darlington, South Carolina USA

[@garyhuston]

Work smarter, not harder!

[@andremoore810]

Thank you for showing that a weld in a knife isn't always a bad thing, I can't tell ya how often I hear about it. If you're doing an etch I can see how would be bad, its probably a different color and could mess up the pattern. But most everything else it's as or stronger than what you're welding.

[@jackdawg4579]

Lovely bit of work Gary.

[@rubenreynaga1572]

I love the texture on the knife. I hate the polish mirror look where they destroy the character of the steel . you did a great job

[@thedude8046]

That is beautiful! Kitchen tool that will last the next 100 years

[@garyhuston]

I hope so!

[@jameswatkins7263]

Brilliant. Best idea for epoxy I've seen so far.

[@garyhuston]

Thanks 👍

[@TheOldGuyPhil]

Been doing it for ever. Never knew why people didn't. Works better to fill by putting the corner in between your fingers and folding the bag opening your fingers. Squirt the epoxy right in the corner for minimal air entrainment Also burp the air out of the bag. For best and easiest mix pinch the epoxy in the corner of the bag then rotate it circles on your open palm... Very nice video Gary.

[@vincentrosa9631]

Beautiful job my friend 👍

[@duaneaubuchon9453]

I really like how you made it nice job sir!!!

[@constructiontech1970]

Fantastic Gary!

[@garyhuston]

Many thanks!

[@joebetsygillespie7913]

Very nice work! I like the repurposing of the old files into something very useful. The antler looks like Elk, aka "Wapiti."

[@garyhuston]

it's red deer.

[@younasdar4183]

Awesome built you made my day sir gee

[@garyhuston]

Glad you liked it!

[@BBQDad463]

Thank you for sharing this video. The cleaver is really quite attractive and looks like it will give good service for more than one or two lifetimes. Subscribed.

Thank you

Oh for a bigger shop know the feeling, nice peace looks great 👍.

[@alialmahanawi8409]

Absolutely

High carbon files make very good knives. I’ve been collecting Anza Knives since the 1980’s.

[@jodydille8612]

I got one! It is a favorite! My brother gave it to me.

[@buchinchristian8341]

wonderful work . Congratulations from Belgium.

[@garyhuston]

Thank you so much 😀

[@duncantaylor3558]

Very nice use of two old tools. However you do need to seal the antler as it is porous, which will allow for bacteria to grow in it. A penetrating oil that’s food safe will do the job to a point. The best is to use a poly finish used on counter tops and thin it out so it soaks in and seals the pores. Then light sanding to bring the antler back up to the surface. Butcher block oil wipe and your done.

[@Moondog-wc4vm]

Great video, lots of superb tips, but even if the rest of it had been m'eh, the epoxy trick is worth it's weight in gold. The rest wasn't m'eh, it was very informative, but I will never do epoxy any other way from now on. Thanks GH!

[@TheWind213]

Very nice, well done Gary

Reminds me of the old beaver tail knives the fur trapers used. We use to make ours out the same thing.

[@adnacraigo6590]

Just beautiful.

[@michaelreader4349]

Hi Gary just watched the video its brilliant, you keep coming up with new idea's and concepts, loved the epoxy trick, having said that some people drill out the pith from the antler and fill it with dye' d epoxy, you can sand like the rest of the handle. keep up the good work mate and stay safe. Mick

[@donsayre8318]

Nice Lob1 the only thing that I would have done different, is make the scale's thinner, and left the Antler Finish.

[@richardbryant7972]

Oh I forgot to mention, I copied your filing vice haven’t used it yet but it looks to be very handy. Thank you for it.

[@8ank3r]

Don't know if anyone else said this already but, if you don't touch metal with the sand paper you won't get that black on the antler. It's tedious but you can do it without too much extra effort

[@charlesabaday6815]

Correct. Adding to this, just before getting to the metal, use crazy glue or some other clear glue to saturate the spongy end of the scale, to seal it. Once it is full solid, no other dust gets in there.

[@АндрейПирог-я5ч]

The first time I see how epoxy is mixed without cups, how could I not think of it myself? The cleaver is excellent! Good luck

[@garyhuston]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@murmur3966]

Hello Hello From Canada!!! Great stuff for a project to stay busy with! That was a brilliant way of mixing and dispensing the epoxy and I had to subscribe when I saw that because you tamed what usually turns into a messy beast. Keep up the awesome content. I can't wait to check out more of your channel.

Nice job Gary! You should try to make a set of the dragon candle holders I’m interested in how they’re made

[@garyhuston]

I'd like to know too!

[@belliott538]

Beautiful..!! I'd like it with a bit of Outter Cortex left on the Antler (Texan)... To reduce the Honeycomb you would need to remove more material from the Inside of your Scale medium as apposed to doing most of your reduction from the Outside. I've not found a way to keep the Steel Dust out of the Honeycomb... Call it a Feature as opposed to a Flaw! Cheers from Southeast Texas!

[@NavyVeteran1776]

Very nice cleaver. I do have one negative opinion about it and that is the look of the natural antler would look much better.

10:06 - Filing a file with a file! I didn't think that would be possible.

That's because it has been annealed.

[@tropifiori]

It really sparks when you grind it. I wonder how much carbon is in the rasp? That is a good trick with the bag. Nice projects

cleaver from two

[@ronsmith3065]

Really nice light weight cutter but a 1/2 " piece of steel would result in a cleaver of lot of real hutzpa. Cut right through bones.
