Nice job looks awesome 👍

[@gtmcfar]

Word to the wise: a little copper wire from the other trash added to the aluminum and voila! You have aluminum-bronze, probably the toughest bronze formulation you can make in a home smelt. Since aluminum wasn’t refined till after modern steels were available, my guess is no one has ever studied the properties of aluminum-bronze blades.

[@wolfgangkranek376]

A good casting mold can also be made from wet sand and a part sugar. Especially when casting aluminum.

[@wolfgangkranek376]

@@gtmcfar It gets even used for ship propellers.

[@BUZZKILLJRJR]

Also aluminum bronze can be as good as some steels! you might try it in one of your videos!

[@stepheneddington1667]

This has to be one of the best 'let's make something from nothing' videos you've ever done. Just about fell out of my chair laughing when you said 'where'd my pot go?' Thanks for another great video.

[@jonfaber4663]

Clever idea. Lots of family dumps are scattered up here across rural Michigan. Very resourceful.

[@DtWolfwood]

I wasnt aware a naturally aspirated camp fire got hot enough to melt aluminum. Good to learn. Thanks

[@Jaden48108]

The finished product speaks for itself. Nice.

[@BUZZKILLJRJR]

I love it I actually found an old kitchen knife in an dump spot on a piece of property one time in the woods, and all it need was sharpening and handle scales so I knocked the old pins out of it took some doing, made some scales outa wood knocked two nails as handel pins carved the handle And I carried it as a kid in the woods with a ductape and car seat vinal sheath haha I chopped the shit outa stuff with it. Thought I was Davey Crockett woth that thing hahaha

[@DLFerg0369]

The first thing I thought about when you said you have trash was, it is everywhere in the woods. I'd like to see you utilize it in more videos. This is a cool video.

[@jeromethiel4323]

I really like these "foraging through garbage" videos. There is so much crap that people throw away that you can find in the woods. It's nice to see a video on how to make use of that trash.

[@SebastianSynn18252]

Agreed. These are some of my favorite types of vids

[@michaelschmit9470]

Nice prison shank brother. I wouldn't have thought it would be possible to do that. Great content

[@sleazy1drache]

From trash to treasure... 😂 Looking forward to the upgrade...a Corporals knife fresh from the forge. Also, another great example of the saying "the more you know, the less you need to carry ". Don't have a knife, no problem, just macgiver one.

[@bretlemieux2489]

That’s a badass knife Corporal that is something I will do on my property in New Hampshire because I have a small dump on my land also I found a whole wood stove in it and set it aside for my underground shelter I’m digging up.

[@jonathanbennison9220]

12:54 Something usable,. From garbage in the woods. With a campfire. Cool.

[@1985lsf]

Another great proof of concept. Thanks for doing things that no one else will try. Excited to see what drops next week on payday!

[@JonHighsmith-pi3fh]

I don't care if it is just aluminum that is pretty impressive! You was working that blade more than you would be a bow drill fire. Good Stuff

[@michelep1130]

Corporal that is amazing! Thank you for taking the time to do that for us. You are amazing!

[@thorin693]

Before youtube was a thing i saw a online article about making a knife from what you find in the woods, he found a shovel that one side was splitting off with the tools he was carrying and rocks for shaping and sharpening. I may have to try something like that myself.

[@kevinthewanderingwoodchuck2586]

I learned more in this video than I have in a long time. Good on you sir. You are a wonderful teacher. Thanks so much brother. Have a wonderful week.

[@theoriginalshotgunoutdoors3269]

Knowing how to make a shank in lean times is a great skill! Looks good!

[@jasongarling20]

Shawn, 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 THANK YOU! A TRUE SURVIVAL SKILL FOR WHATS ABOUT TO COME! I apologize for yelling but I truly believe after the initial wave of destruction, common people will NEED THIS INFORMATION TO SURVIVE! SO THANK YOU FOR SAVING SOME OF US POOR BUT INTELLIGENT PEOPLE WHO MADE THECWRONG DECESIONS SOMEWHERE! SINCERELY, THANK YOU!

[@chops1911]

Great video Shawn I love that you showed the failure of the pan melting and I love the resourcefulness of turning trash to treasure in a survival situation in ways that most people would never think of

[@dirkflatbush133]

I look forward to your out of the box ideas. Thank you for what you do 🙏🫡✌️

[@jeffharris3105]

Awesome workmanship in the wild

[@phillipwingo60]

That was impressive doing that in the field .Won't find that anywhere else.That's why I never miss a video.Always good content.

[@glennkirchens7970]

I now know how to make a shiv, thanx Corporal!!

[@jimgreatelkwaters8348]

Cpl survival master. Brilliantly executed, and fogged a climate fradie cat brain or two. 😂 Truthfully, a functional survival tool. Kudos!

[@doubled3983]

Hello from Oklahoma! Good Video! I've pondered about this. And yes there are aluminum cans everywhere. Thanks For All U Do! God Bless!

[@RandyBuckey]

Not complaining but I wouldn't have ever thought about that. My mindset would be to flattened, shape and sharpen. Thank you for showing me a different way to make gear. Love what you have done and watch you all the times. Thank you for your service, keep up the good work.

[@benzandstra6944]

Outstanding video, once again, Corporal! Creative bushcraft in our degraded environment...

[@ksbrook1430]

Rooting around in the backwoods country store. Brings back memories of when my brothers and I would go exploring and find the old trash piles from past generations. I always appreciate the resoucefulness you model in your videos.

[@clintonmartin-tq9tl]

Shawn this is extremely realistic in SHTF scenario. I like how you took another man’s trash and literally turned it into a treasure, great video!

[@jimmykowalski7605]

Awesome, a lot of work !, but how great the stuff you come up with !

[@kingcobra0128]

Camera looks really good

[@Georgecobb-s1v]

Treasure from trash! Ingenious; innovative; creative; and superlative adjectives to ad infinitum! Great video utilizing natural resources and man's castaways. Thanks for sharing.

[@brad8140]

No wonder I don't need a notification about your videos. I'm still learning much from you. Thanks for what you do.

[@jimmybrown7570]

This would be a good way to make frog gigs!

[@stevewood9477]

Cool AF. Making a knife in the woods. Great midweek video. That knife looked great. Good job Sir. You never disappoint. Thanks for all yo do.

[@timlacy2284]

Shawn , Outstanding Video AF, Doing things that no one else will do or talk about. Yes Sir You Are The Hardest Working Man On KZbin.

[@trynsurviven2440]

Watched, liked and shared 🙌. I had no idea that a pan would have melted like that.

[@claytonfite3197]

That was outstanding I would have never thought to go out collect some aluminum cans and make a knife awesome video corporal Kelly

[@kenhartley2824]

This guy is resourceful. When the shit hits the fan he would teach us all to survive. Thank you for your knowledge

[@erolkavlakverizon6112]

I watched a Tommy Lee Jones movie called " The Hunted" and it ģshowed Tommy Lee and the other character making primative knives. Tommy did a flint knapped blade. The other was a "forged" car suspension blade.. and you just showed us an aluminum cast blade that I believe is better than those movie magic knives. Awesome AF I would like to see what kind of functional edge you can get on your blade.. thank you Cpl. Kelly for another learning/ teaching experience.

[@donnafarran5326]

This video is positively fantabulous, Corporal! So amazing! Love, love love it!!! 🪵🏕🤗😎

[@erickort1987]

you can use sand to sharpen a knife, bear grylis or les stroud did it on a episode

[@TheRealRomansThirteen]

I miss these clandestine builds my favorite times from your channel segments go all the way back to the PVC bow with a spoon Broadhead.

[@recall5811]

I miss the views

[@choccolocco]

I’ve found empty cans miles out into the woods. Coyotes and such chew them sometimes and take them out to “nowhere”.

[@terenceleonard7724]

That was interesting about the pot. Thanks for the lesson

[@earlyriser8998]

I don't need 3 videos a week. But this video concept is 'gold' and something I didn't think of but very practical.

[@janicehoward9090]

Awesome video AF learn something new every day ❤great video love ya Corporal

[@williammrdeza9445]

Nice job on the concept Corporal. The knife turned out great. Thanks for putting in all the work shaping it in order to show that it is possible to create tools out of aluminum scraps found in the woods.

[@josephwagner2816]

Another good show, thank you.

[@kalstreksandtrails7606]

Another Outstanding A.F video my friend

[@circusoddity1]

I learned so much watching your videos I may be two or three days late watching them but I try to watch every.

[@rodneymiddleton1044]

Good on you Shawn as being a hobby knife maker of six years now I was transfixed watching this and I enjoyed it immensely so bloody good show mate. Goes to show how one can make something from whatever is laying about. Great video and stay safe mate 🙂 🦘

[@antiatrevino1130]

Corpoals Corner shopping gets the best deals! For now all camping an outdoor stuff is lived thru you. Thank you for providing your expertise in KZbin.

[@gtree7047]

this turned out to be a pretty good video

[@davidvaughn7752]

_Totally viable option_ ! I've never seen anybody else do this, and really never would have considered this as a practical option if I hadn't seen you demonstrate it! But yes, aluminum will work for your Bushcraft/survival needs! So you'll need to sharpen them more but, oh well... Better than nothing! Also, surprised how quickly you could fashion a blade (half a day isn't bad considering the benefit of a blade from trash and foraging for such a powerful survival force multiplier) - and yes, aluminum is everywhere! Super job!

[@Marlina66]

This video is awesome!!! I learned so much. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@RichardYates-z3b]

Great video. I remember reading years ago about someone taking 25 cent pieces (quarters) heating them up one and one and pounding them into arrowheads for a survival type bow and arrow set. Wonderful.

[@michaelduncan123]

That was awesome. You are a true survivalist!

[@mikew2661]

Thank you again for your hard work sir!!

[@deryademirtas]

Great job with this one. Suggestion: Dressing animals. With your new knife. Best ways, suggestions on how to do it with different animals!

[@devildog17013]

I would also love to see that but, with KZbin being what it is, he probably either wouldn't be able to monetize the video(s) or he would get knocked for it. The only way I could see it even POSSIBLY be done without getting "KZbind" for it would be to do it with stuffed animals - haha! Even then, well... We all know KZbin.

[@briansuttles6743]

great video. neat knife making. stay safe.

[@marcschultz5869]

Enjoyed another outstanding video

[@jeffrichards5106]

The new camera is working well. Wow!! that was amazing that you could make that with aluminum cans and a campfire. Outstanding AF!!

[@shadowlord5574]

I'm really liking these video's, it's cool watching you make the forks and the other thing's you been doing. Then add today's video. Excellent. Keep them coming. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@JoeSmoe-uy8oh]

He is showing common sense fron how to make something you can use out of basic Any thing you may need in a survival mode

[@MarineGuy-oo7wr]

Another bad ass video Brother. Semper Fi

[@davidtarbassian1490]

Make an aluminum knife? Yes you can. That's was awesome. 😊

[@BrassCatcher365]

That's amazing. I had wondered about this for years, but never did it. Thanks for answering these questions and being creative! Ive never seen anyone else do this.

[@scottskidmore2305]

Your hard work is much appreciated outstanding AF

[@williamfrye5115]

Great tip and video .. Spear heads, and arrow heads also.

[@bjude7557]

Awesome, that would be good for spear and arrow heads

[@thomasnamed]

Great video. Now, That was a cool looking knife. You always seem to come up with new things. Thanks for All you do,

[@jadinzack9271]

Great video

[@guadalupeskitchen3734]

Down here in Florida, you can walk into the jungles and swamps as far as you can go and still find beer cans.

[@donnaroberts164]

Not only cool but truly informative. Thank you for this!

[@francdejong]

I think it is quite impressive what you achieved. Actually a really usable peace of aluminium. Thanks for sharing.

[@artfairylcw6039]

Thank You @CorporalsCorner it's good to know Not to buy any aluminium pans, saucepans etc to rely on to boil water or cook food in when camping or as part of Emergency supply kit! 😱

[@jimplosay8352]

Excellent video. Oddly, I get these around Friday nights, no notification otherwise until they pop up into my YT feed.

[@kvonzwild8979]

Camera is great, video as well as audio. Content is interesting too. The knowledge is likely to come in handy as, the way the country is headed, we may All be digging trash for resources!

[@robertrubel]

Thanks for putting in all that time for us. I’ve learned a lot from your channel and have actually applied a great amount in my overnighters.

[@anitasmith8721]

Love Love Love this video! Thank you, Shawn. I'm always looking for ways to recycle, especially for our survival.

[@Wintersnow147]

Truly amazing

[@lylestout4133]

Aluminum cans are made in 2 parts. The body is one piece, the top another. The body is made from a much softer alloy than the top. If you could separate the parts (P51?) and made the knife from just the tops, you would have a a stronger knife that would hold an edge.

[@SandDsmallenginerepair]

nice work as always

[@theTrueOverlord]

You can use the glass from the old TV to flint knap a extremely sharp knife.

[@runningriverbushcraft]

Definitely cool video 📹 always learning.!!!

[@mrkultra1655]

Thanks Corporal. Sad to see that huge trash pile there.

[@MrKevinpsweeney]

Still better than the Superbowl!

[@Andras-Serfozo]

1000% Awesome!!!

[@gregoryknox4444]

Good video. Unknown to me when I bought my land, was a junk pile of wash machines etc. A junk dealer came out and hauled it out for free. Thanks for sharing. Well done.

[@greymaine6395]

I'm hoping to see that aluminum knife in your Sunday video. You made it in the woods in the spirit of survival. Let's see it do some work. Great video!!!!

[@dtemplman7816]

Impressive 👍

[@bushcraftsoloskills]

Good idea

[@hawkknight4223]

Excellent work corporal! God bless you.

[@robertosantinni9656]

I NEVER miss your videos. I may not see it on the day it launches for some reason, but I do watch all them.

[@BrianM-44041]

Outstanding af. Making treasure from trash is the american way.

[@jodihaiduc7046]

I love "shopping" with you Corporal! And it's good for the earth! 😊

[@stevebooth3441]

Possibly the best video you've done.....could really be a life saver in a real situation ...

[@GodBearOutoors]

Sorry, but I knew that pot was history. Lol. But you probably educated a bunch of folks. Thanks for the awesome video, very interesting concept for acquiring a cutting implement. I might give this a try. Later. 🤘
