Forging a Rusted Old Bearing into a Kunai | DIY Blacksmithing Project
Welcome to our channel! In this video, we take on an exciting project: transforming a rusted old bearing into a sleek and functional Kunai. This ancient ninja tool, traditionally used for throwing or stabbing, will be crafted with precision and creativity. Join us as we give new life to this piece of scrap metal through the art of blacksmithing.
Materials and Tools:
Rusted old bearing
Forge or high-temperature heat source
Anvil
Hammer
Tongs
Angle grinder with cutting and grinding discs
Belt sander or files
Sandpaper (various grits)
Quenching oil
Tempering oven or kitchen oven
Safety gear (safety goggles, heat-resistant gloves, apron, respirator)
Steps:
Preparation: Cleaning the rusted bearing to remove loose rust and debris.
Cutting and Shaping: Using an angle grinder to cut the bearing and shape it into a Kunai blank.
Forging and Hammering: Heating the metal in the forge and hammering it to refine the shape of the Kunai.
Heat Treatment: Hardening the Kunai by heating it to a high temperature and quenching it in oil, followed by tempering to reduce brittleness.
Grinding and Polishing: Using a belt sander or files to grind and polish the Kunai, creating a smooth and sharp edge.
Final Touches: Adding any additional features or decorations to the Kunai, such as wrapping the handle with cord.
Safety Tips:
