Beautiful and classy at the same time...If I was still living in the bush I definitely would be making them..maybe not so deluxe as this one but all the same functional...thanks for the great video...from an old BC faller/trapper....BS; Epoxy putty makes a strong and easy-to-do handle and you can even make it match your exact individual hand grip by squeezing it with your hand before it hardens up.

Good job. It is always fun to experiment and make something that works and looks nice!

[@RustisGold]

Thank you very much! Glad you liked it! 😊👍 I also love the feeling when I transform an object that would end up in the garbage into something functional and useful!

[@josiahtheblacksmith467]

@@RustisGold it is a good feeling. It is one of the reasons I like being a blacksmith as a hobby, so many things can be made from what people would see as rusty garbage.

Я понял, что ничего не понял. Эта шина не литая, а склёпана из нескольких частей. По сути, после того как он её пообрезал и заточил, эта мачета должна раслоится на три части.

Chainsaw bars are tough the hardness is perfect for making machete

[@RustisGold]

😊👍👍👍

[@andrewnelson4496]

Did you do any sort of heat treating or tempering of the blade before you put a handle on it??

[@RustisGold]

No I didn't...This metal bar is hard as a rock and flexible at the same time. It seems to be working properly for the moment.

[@Alpot83]

why didn't you do the heat treatment? Good job

[@RustisGold]

Thank you very much for your comments! You are right I could have done the heat treatment but chainsaw bars are such a hard material that I thought I could skip it. After all I only want to use it for cutting small pieces of wood for starting my fireplace.

[@antonioherrera4523]

@@RustisGold Thanks for answering, I'll give you a piece of information, the steel is according to the research it is 8160, and the treatment is equal to 5160 steel, Greetings from Argentina ...👍🏾

[@RustisGold]

Thanks again! Greetings from Greece!! 🇬🇷😊👍

[@antonioherrera4523]

@Ju Juthis is the composition of the steel according to the manufacturer sthill 8160 Carbono: 0,60 % Níquel: 0,30 % Cromo: 0,40 % Molibdeno:0,12% El tratamiento térmico del 8160, es similar al del 5160"

[@jexy_marshall]

I thought, as long as you do not heat the metal while grinding or cutting over 350 degrees F or so, you will not destroy the original temper and it will retain an edge well without extra heat treatment

The one he used was solid, cheaper ones are 3 peice riveted

@@tulio300 Something like a high carbon steel good enough for a machete just pack a good file along and you'll be fine.

Riveted ones are usually high quality stainless heat treated on the guides, one piece are tool steel. At least that's what good name brand ones are.
