I Turn A Giant Bearing Into A Useful Tool

Check out my Second KZbin Channel -- Jake Fowler
/ @jakefowler8073
I found this giant bearing at the scrap yard and I turned it into a beautiful knife. The brass that I used was also from the scrapyard. I used one of the rollers and my new hammer for this project. I forged the roller out to 8 inches with the tang and machined several brass pieces for the handle.Forging this knife from a bearing is tricky but was a fun and I enjoyed the challenge.

Every single video you put up floors me. Your work is just stunning

[@JakesCustomKnives]

That's great to hear! I love what I do, thank you!

[@BlackBearForge]

That hammer came out great. Almost like we knew what we were doing

[@faridelali8877]

تسلم هذه الانامل عمل مبدع👍🌺

[@faridelali8877]

These fingers receive creative work! Thank you 👍🌺

[@II2212]

Dude that's a work of fucking art! Very impressive. You're talented buddy!

[@lachy1709]

i like how you said useful tool in the title to avoid youtube bots. A knife is a useful tool, youtube shouldnt be banning them

[@jp12345f]

It looks like Jake could forge several dozen useful tools from that gigantic bearing.

[@sinfulf4i]

you do amazing work . when turning parts in a lathe 3 x the diameter of material sticking out of the chuck max without a tail stock support. it will keep you safe from potential bad things happening.

[@kingsling4506]

Thats knife is fucking sick. Love your channel, keep up the great work

[@dlbknives4869]

That is a sweet blade.

[@JakesCustomKnives]

Thanks man!

[@Welderady2]

That was amazing , I grew up around the corner from a blacksmiths shop here in the U.K. and because of that I gained an interest in metal work and went on to become a welder fabricator building everything from machinery to heavy structural steel. When I was at school they had a metal work shop with a forge and I spent a lot of time on there hammering hot metal into pokers, toasting forkes and chisels etc so I appreciate the level of skill that’s needed to complete the task of making a knife like you just did and even though I’ve been a metalworker for around 35 years it still amazes me to see a blacksmith in action working on a forge. There was a time in days gone by when everyone from farmers wanting ploughs made to a guy who just wanted door hinges went to guys like you. These skills must be kept alive, Well done keep it up !

[@rakibulbashar55]

Can you tell me will the knife be sharp enough for butchering? i have one giant bearing like he have. but i am not quite sure about the quality. if the final quality will be fine then i will start the knife making job.

[@jaredmccutcheon5496]

Super cool knife. Should be a prop on the next Star Wars movie.

[@georgeharvey6382]

Jared Mccutcheon lmao, the way star wars has been going the knife would be the only thing worth seeing in the movie

[@juliotalking7975]

I love your channel and videos man, that knife its really awesome.👍👍👍👏

[@JakesCustomKnives]

Thank you I appreciate that.

[@philanna38]

Never thought I would say this being a woman but that knife is quite beautiful. Great job!

[@vigilante004]

Dang Jake, the more freakier your music gets, the freakier your knives get. Still very unique and cool. I likes it very much. You look at a giant alien bearing from the industrial trash heap and see knife. You is awesome! Keep it up brother!

[@MrSpanky473]

Your skills have came a long way. Beautiful knife!

[@bpinto9245]

the assembling of your knives is one of my favorite things to watch

[@jpolhamus71]

I just wanted to tell you you make the coolest fucking blades ever dude

[@JakesCustomKnives]

Thank you

[@bwood6337]

I really like the way you started the video describing what you’re going to do, with your parts already out and then you showed yourself pulling out those pieces and creating the knife all together.

[@misteragb7558]

You are the most creative knifemaker I know, not only on youtube, and I am subscribed to like all knife making guys on here.

[@TheBjhauhnar]

Nice... please as I said so.. be in 'Forged and Fire' (History Channel) don't know but you can do it

[@RickaramaTrama-lc1ys]

This was like watching some sort of miracle~!!! These things you make are priceless. Thanks for the show.

[@marvelousmajor4448]

Turned out awesome in my opinion you are one of the best great video thanks Jake

[@JakesCustomKnives]

Thank you I appreciate that, I try to keep it interesting and one of a kind

[@silviasilvi1752]

Owh nice man

[@josephsamson7865]

Nice work man. Idk how comfortable that handle would be but I like the creativity and it looks tight as hell

[@md9763]

Beautiful knife, and all done in one video. Some youtubers would have turned that into a 12 part series.

[@TheParadoxgeist]

The best blades ever

[@JakesCustomKnives]

Thank you

[@michaeloberhofer7183]

Gorgeous looking result! The blue & gold polished metal reminds me of King Tutankhamen's famous mask. A1!

[@MFKR696]

Holy crap.... I've never seen a needle bearing that big. I wouldn't have taken that piece of industrial art apart. I would have cleaned it up and put it on my display shelf lol.

[@capatainnemo]

that looked like a tough bit of steel to forge

[@JakesCustomKnives]

It definitely was but it was worth it.

[@marvintat7]

I really Iike watching you work, Jake. very inspiring, keep it up, man.

[@JakesCustomKnives]

[@spencerabbott4517]

I like your work. I'm looking to start making knife and forging and from your videos in going to make a run to the scrap yard and see what gems are there to build up some steel. I dont have a forge or anything yet I'm waiting on a piece of train track that will be my anvil and i will make a coal forge out of my old smoker

[@luislazcano5563]

Hermoso trabajo

[@CatManDue]

now you should make a sheath for it

[@statewidetfd4107]

That is a beautiful knife

[@amerodio93]

This is a piece of art

[@PaulJordan318]

Great work. Beautiful knife.

[@mbanour7570]

Super nice brother.. i will watch it again with a beer .

[@elzorro9987]

Beautifully conceived and executed. You do very fine work.

[@VodkaBalalaika1]

Blacksmith, well done, the knife turned out very beautiful, I did not think that such a beautiful one can be made from a bearing, hands grow from there. Where does the beauty come from.

[@tazzitiger8171]

I pull lot of axle taper & ball bearings off in railway bogie repair, four bearings for each axle.

[@johnveglio4433]

DAMN, what a hard bearing !!!! GREAT JOB !

[@tlover94]

That's an awesome looking knife and handle. You did an outstanding job.

Beautiful knife.

[@Impact-OG]

That was a great video jake! That bearing was a killer score..

[@JakesCustomKnives]

Thank you, I have been putting a lot more time into the editing. When I seen that bearing at the scrap yard I had to have it.

[@Impact-OG]

Jake's Custom Knives, I have noticed that your editing has gotten better. I really like the music in the last video, very 80's. I find editing to be the hardest part. I will have 5 hours of video and have to condense it down to 5 - 10 minutes is very hard.

[@mrsamzero1]

That is some serious hard steel.

[@fabriciomatias9820]

Maestro q bueno seria q pongas subtitulos para un futuro. Veo tus videos y la verdad que trabajas increible! Saludos desde Argentina.

[@zakariafarah]

فنان رائع

[@aguilayserpiente]

Great talent, young master. Fine film instruction. What is the best finish to prevent corrosion on a fine blade?

[@kevinghifari2330]

that must be a bearing from a giant bulldozer or something, that thing is huge. great finish m8, solid works of art

[@24allnightmike]

you do very impressive work PROFESSIONAL!!!!

[@frederik1259]

mmm love it the fact that it is out of an old bearing fits wonderfull with the industrial handle

[@michaelstegall2340]

That knife is awesome Jake good job

[@troubleis1983]

That's beautiful man!

[@Flyingdogturd]

Nice looking knife, looks like a knife Tutankhamen would have in his grave.

[@placidrenegade]

Tidy..love a parachord knife from one of those bearings.

[@khanjani6466]

[@seifixnetwork4663]

[@rashh77]

WOW, what a masterpiece? Amazing.

[@canaldokocha1194]

This knife was worthy of a Jedi!

[@furbarator]

Beautiful knife and outstanding craftsmanship a truly enjoyable video. Thank you for sharing your craft.

[@justwestman488]

Man that thing is awesome. I even afraid of thinking about how much experience such stuff requires

[@willd6515]

Very nice, i think a brass press fit pin would look better on this knife instead of the screw. Just sayin'. Love the things you make, you have your very own style and feel.

[@josesilva-pm9hd]

Esse cara é um artista parabéns pelo trabalho profissional abraço

[@ThompsonFamilyVlogs]

Dude you're awesome at custom built knives I would like to see you go on Forged In Fire and win $10,000 and a chance to be in the finals that would be sweet bro think about it , love the channel too btw.....
