I just re-watched this two part series today since i starting making knives two years ago and as helpful as the info has been all this time, now that I've swam a bit deeper into the murky waters of this craft I've solidified the understanding that your foundational videos laid for me and I'm going now to go join your Patreon

Really great stuff. so basic, the difference between good tools and cheap tools is the number of hours one has to spend checking, and re-adjusting, and repairing or re-building the tools.

Thanks Mr Sorrells, This is pretty similar to one of the important lessons my father ( former master machinist ) thought me at the machines. ALWAYS check. Very adjustable tools have many ways to go out of whack, so you verify. He also stressed drawing what you want to build before getting on the tools. If you can't draw it accurately how can you build it accurately. (That's more critical in machining but it's a good lesson just the same)

I discovered that i needed to add another hole in the tang 'AFTER' it was heat treated - was unable to do so - is there drill bits that can do this????

@justinmcslappy 5 жыл бұрын

A carbide drill bit is about your only option. Another option is to soak a rag and wrap it around the blade. Then ruin as many drills as you need to in order to make the hole. As long as the heat doesn't reach the blade, you'll be fine.

You can always try annealing the tang to soften the metal so you can drill it as normal. The temp you need to get it to is dependant on what metal you're using, but you want to get it to critical (a touch above shouldn't hurt) and then make it cool slowly, so leave it in the forge (while it's off) to cool or dunk it in some vermiculite.

Cobalt and Tungsten carbide bits work well for this, then calculate feeds and speeds using Machinist handbook. Speeds are calculated with this formula: 3.82• speed given in table for material being cut and hardness and material of cutter then divide that by the diameter of your drill, end mill, shell mill, etc. Lathes you instead use the diameter of the diameter of the stock/piece being cut. Hope this helps! Sincerely, JS

Hey Walter...Love your videos! I saw a T-Shirt in one from an event in the Western part of NC. Are you an NC fella? I'm in the central part of the state around Johnston county .
