Making a cable center punch?

[@helpertoo]

I had a friend in Idaho that made kitchen utensils from logging cable (knives, forks, spoons, and yes, sporks). It is a great look and conversation piece.

[@joehackenberg30]

Cool I suggest welding the one end before you cut it though. Makes it a little easier if you do it again.

[@VentureSoftCo]

Yeah unless your cable is in a field I use to use hose clamps to keep the cable together before cutting

[@andrewkiefer2628]

I thought the exact same thing

[@amzadpatel1198]

I actuall thought the same thing

[@17oslo]

Suggestion: make a small iron stamp with your logo so that you can warm it and stamp it on wood handles. It is a small thing but adds a lot of value/image to the final product 👍🏼😉

[@oblomoffood]

i dunno why im watching this but this is really cool!

[@davidmech2956]

Looks cool! And nice to see that titanium hammer has been holding up. Nice work you do.

[@JoshStLouis314]

Very cool idea, turned out great!

[@threecatforge]

That is one of the classiest centre punches I’ve ever seen

[@davidsnyder2000]

Have never seen a punch looking like that. Super cool look!👍😄

[@Donorcyclist]

Beautiful punch, Tim! I see a new product line…

[@FarmsteadForge]

Very cool, it will be interesting to see how it holds up over time.

[@alexbethea6592]

Idea, make a crate of them, send it to Action Lab, tell them to make them high magnetic for railgun ammo.

[@AleksanderLydkunst]

Came out lookin like the coolest 50 Cal bullet ever lol😆 gotta make one for myself now🤩

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Timmothy that's awesome. Hopefully you get great use out of it for many years to come my friend. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Forge on keep making. God bless.

[@homemadetools]

Nice little punch. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎

[@NoGoodVeryBadAmerican]

I would love one of these for tapping down high spots on cars when doing body work

[@guyjohnson242]

Looks like a bullet from “Wanted” Very cool

[@tommymohlen8919]

Looks absolutley awesome!

[@byOldHand]

What an interesting project 🌟👌🏻 The work is perfect and the video is verr warm. Thank you for sharing Timothy 🗜️⚒️✌🏻

[@vneger2377]

That's very cool! If you etch it in acid it will reveal a snake like pattern on the tip.

[@rocky3075]

I would want to buy a cable punch. Just one of those cool looking tools to have, and use.

[@chasethe_dr3am986]

that's a rad center punch my man!!

[@stevendelvecchio3721]

Nice punch. Love the look. Hope it holds up to use in the long-term. Always appreciate your videos

[@Razor6On3]

I'd buy one of those center punches.

[@Dr.Burner]

Looks like one of those custom bullets from the movie Wanted

[@basildaoust2821]

I mean without trying it my first thought was it seemed way too short, but hey if you are using it and you love it then it is perfect :)

[@tomcarlson3244]

Very fancy center punch

[@evank7113]

Dude very nice ,love the axes but good for some variety . Love all your random projects

[@TalRohan]

Thats awesome, nice job making it carry on looking like cable. I guess with the v block you can squish it carefully enough to stop it becoming a straight rod ....

[@Leo99929]

It's beautiful. I love it. I think I agree with Martin: Longer would be more practical. You might be worrying about imaginary problems with the longer ones not welding and spreading in use. You won't know for certain until you do it, I suppose?

[@сашанасарогав]

1к62 "Красный пролетарий" forever!

[@evebrassard3105]

it is awesome. I'd buy one just like it along with one that is dimpled to use as a nail set in my woodworking projects

[@dmckenzie9281]

It looks very cool.

[@Bobs-Wrigles5555]

Tim, If I wasn't international, I'd buy a centre punch like that, only maybe a little longer(if that is possible without splaying) so you can get a good grip on it with your hand and not just your fingers.

[@danvanmuizenberg6650]

Taofledermaus just got chills

[@katielynne]

This is really cool, I like those oddball left field ideas 😃

[@katielynne]

Could you have heated it up and then smacked the end a handful of times? Just thinking that might weld it more (the tip would have to be in some pre-formed cone, yah this is becoming a process lol), but yah to weld the cable a bit more

[@cooper5324]

It looks awesome

[@Wiking419]

Nice little center punch there. Next time clean the cable or any steel before tig welding it, it would weld much easier because argon likes clean surfaces not contaminated.

[@joshuarauch5192]

I would love to have one of those but longer and narrower. That looks awesome!

[@hansonprofile]

Looks like a rifle bullet from the movie "Wanted"

[@angelovermeyen8581]

You should make a series where you make all sorts of things with cable.

[@timmyreeves9170]

Be nice to see a axe made out of all the off cuts of your axe's you make forge welded together with some different metal like wrought iron then etched

[@TheHomeMaker1]

I do woodworking but still use a center punch daily and I would totally buy one please make some for sale!!!!!!

[@quilliejones4314]

Martin looks smarter than all of us.

[@Barry_Mcockiner]

I’d definitely buy one

[@Pancom85]

The axe making is good stuff but the random projects are my favourite views

[@perry.brar.outdoors]

I would etch that. Maybe a damascus pattern formed from the cable twist

[@Pez_Destroyer]

that was a fun project i bet, it looked cool, you could sharpen it and anneal it so that you can try and get it where it needs to be in hardness. I saw that the last hit didn't punch :(

[@rikardfriberg9529]

Very cool looking! A bit low volume on this video though. Did have to max the volume on my computer to even hear what you were sayin. Probably will shit my pants when I open the next video and have forgot the volume is at max. :P

[@robertoramos4237]

I'd love to see a 2 headed Hudson bay style axe.

[@odinson_2814]

Great job 👍

[@roydawson4882]

Timothy you could do with lifting the forge hood up a foot save bending all the time,stay safe

[@Gorocco]

That is so cool!

[@dbenci2071]

I think you should make more of the center punches . Offer them on your web site I bet they would sell

[@joshclark44]

I know this has been done before but maybe a cable Damascus knife. People have done it before as one offs but if you get it down I bet you could sell a lot with all that cable you have

[@GalloNero24]

would buy one for sure!

[@natedoerfler652]

You should call it the stogie! Lol It reminds me of a cigar!

[@vlognblog.]

I didn't even know you could do this

[@Pablo668]

Very cool!

[@slackerbelmont]

I think that would make a nice handle for a tool

[@clarkkent5442]

I know you must be busy. It is late sitting and I'm sure you're getting crazy orders plus life always has a way. But your loyal fans miss you!

[@notabandicoot5227]

Didn’t test it!! Love ya work

[@notabandicoot5227]

YAY. Tease

[@calholli]

He did test it

[@Pez_Destroyer]

@@notabandicoot5227 at the very end of the video, that is what happens when you don't watch all the way through.

[@Abbadonum]

I first thought it was a bullet head

[@calholli]

We need a Cable ax that still shows the strands like this.

[@jimf1007]

I dont think it would work unfortunately. Maybe not tho.

[@stevenschroeders4635]

Absolutely loving the look of my new axe number 3 it's my I'm calling it hahaha. Only coz I sore it in the vid. Love your work keep it up 😁

[@cesarpagan6093]

just saying that could be the new 12 gauge slug

[@danal3386]

Hey Tim, would you ever be doing a series/run of hammers like you do with the axes? i.e. rounding hammer, cross peen, ball peen etc... I'd be super interested in some if you ever consider making some! Cheers.

[@TimothyDyck]

In about 3 weeks. You are going to get wrecked!

[@danal3386]

@@TimothyDyck WHATTTTT!!! No way!!!! I’ll be waiting buddy! Stocked!

[@pocketchange3543]

If you replaced your cable core with a solid steel core you might be able to make a longer one.

[@jonassallingdanielsen572]

How about changing the middle cord out with some solid bar and Them rapping the exterior with the cablecords

[@Flying0Dismount]

If you made these a bit longer I'd buy one..

[@calholli]

If it's longer, it's much more likely to splay out and act like a spring; and maybe even come unraveled

[@dmartinr41]

this remembers me of forged in fire

[@docschro6847]

So what would it take to have a firefighter axes made out of some of the train rail steel

[@sonikblox]

Who cuts the cable then welds the pieces back together? Weld it first man then cut.

[@vincentpaynecole]

That punch has almost the exact same lines as a .50 bmg round.

[@digidave83]

I would buy one

[@LanceMcCarthy]

Why not tack the pieces together before you cut the cable?

[@Pez_Destroyer]

i had the same thought

[@ИванКовалев-г8к]

Видео было бы короче на пару минут))

[@calholli]

It looks cool. but I just wonder if it's going to act as a spring when you use it.

[@jimf1007]

I also wondered the same.

[@reachardkuklinski2261]

Sir what is your welding machine brand or what you call this type of welding machine?

[@اوك-ح5م]

I didn't know that the iron threads became one piece

[@Hydrazine1000]

Dropping that borax, very _Shurap_ move, that bit. (For those who miss the point: that's another KZbinr who creates Damascus knives, and makes a cuppa tea along the way often...)

[@bfg1637]

Id buy it

[@gudvin-smith]

Керн классный)) топоры суперские!

[@tedf1471]

A centre Punch needs to transmit shock to a point. This has shock-absorbing properties?

[@mattbob666420]

Me:(sees thumb nail) sweet forging a bullet! "Click" Me: (reads caption...) shit...

[@richardseaton1818]

You should make those to sell I'm sure they'd sell fast

[@محمدجهادمحمدالثوابية]

What's the name of the white stuff you put on the metal and what's the point? 2:19

[@Micheal-d7e]

A wrap of tape where you cut would save you from having to put everything back together

[@Robin-zb1zj]

It's not short... I would say It's average!

[@neilscole]

Tim, are you gonna turn this into a product? You should try to make this a product.

[@chrisperry8510]

$400+ for an ax? You've lost your mind!

[@OldLoav]

Cable bottle opener

[@DYLANTRIES]

Will u make these and sell them?

[@Sl20]

Cool a just like my son when he have a new toy !!!!!love it just kidding about the toy

[@zeekhan6979]

That looks like a 50bmg bullet

[@EricSajid]

you should put your borax in a container so you don't waste it and sprinkle over the container

[@Gh0st_____]

Yeeeee

[@jasonnester9514]

Thumbnail I thought it was a bullet lol

[@user-gf1uq5eg8z]

Перед тем как отрезать, надо было край троса заплавить.

[@masterrigger777]

Needs to be a little longer!

[@jimf1007]

Hey Tim where abouts do you live?

[@finkalo]

looks like something somebody would send to TAOFLEDERMAUS lol
