How to Use the Ames Hardness Tester

[@JohnTrevick]

lol what's going on at 2:42 - it's like John is sneaking in like a ninja to grab something under the table.

G'day mate! is there any chance I could get a copy of the stl file for your hardness tester stand? I've got the same model and would love to print one off for myself. great video! thanks for making it.

[@gregs7519]

Yes, same request! I have the Ames portable tester, and would greatly appreciate a 3d printed stand :)

[@anchorbait6662]

I like the new Intro... It's very intro-sting. .... I'll show myself out

[@nelsonchen7823]

have you considered testing the blades again post machining? this obviously will scrap the blade, but it would be an interesting experiment to see if the inside is indeed the same hardness as the outside.

Lol Johns just hovering back there like an eager parent

[@rossmiller2229]

Great solution for holding the hardness tester. I have the same model & you need a third hand to use it. How much to have you print one and ship to the US? Must have.

Hey! Is RWL34 the only steel you ever use? Never Elmax or M390?

[@rafaelreig8246]

Skye Bowron Thank You !!

[@marcels.1225]

Do you know about the Wazer (Water cutter) already? Might be interesting for quick prototyping.

With regard to the title of the video, it sure would have been nice to see the dials and scale close up to see what you were actually seeing and reading. Thanks for sharing though!

[@magicdave93]

Very interesting, I’ve always wanted to see how that’s done.👍🙂

[@andrewgiles6192]

good video Sky and Angelo 👍

[@richardsimmons6526]

Man I want one of your knifes. Your shit is second to none.

[@cavedog1279]

Someday they might even make Rasks again!

[@trevoradams8675]

Do you find machining hardened steel a bit tricky?

[@Anonymouspock]

Where do you read the hardness on that device?

[@jwalt833]

When can I get a norseman I been on the list for at least a year now and still no email

[@richardsimmons6526]

I carry a zt 804cf

[@autisticalbatross5594]

Good choice

[@richardsimmons6526]

@@autisticalbatross5594 thats not a pry bar this a pry bar... pulls out a zt.

[@FabricationStation36]

I think the guy holding the camera was out drinking last night , or maybe the guy doing the hardness testing .....either way someones got the shakes

[@xavtek]

Alec Steel did some great videos about metal hardening with real engineering, must see if you interested in this process.
