Most UNDER RATED Knife Making Tools!

[@EmmerKnives]

Great video! 7:42 : in Germany we still do that at the beginning of an apprenticeship. I for example had to file for about 4 months every day.

[@flx6807]

Had to do the same thing before i was allowed to study mechanical engineering but got the two week project done in two days so not that much work in total

[@citizenVader]

Same thing in Denmark. And it sticks to you.. I still use the file in at least 15% of my projects every day.

[@EmmerKnives]

Lars Borch yeah files are still a pretty need tool, just like Walt said. How long are your apprenticeships in Denmark? Its 3-4 years in Germany.

[@nikolajc7617]

@@citizenVader ja klart.

[@sperber-knives]

Lol du auch hier Mr Emmer? 😂😂

[@josh88113]

I watched your videos for months last year before I made my first knife. You’re one of the best at explaining things

[@bernabesanchez387]

Great video....one more thing overlooked is good lighting..

[@tornagawn]

Excellent advice as always. I’ve learned so much, even though I’m still just ‘putting scales and bolsters’ on premade blades.

[@Mucidamascusblades]

Loved the video. The most absolutely necessary tool in mu shop, together with the granite slab, is an height gage. Together with 123 blocks and blue dykem!!!

[@GradyGillis]

One of my luckiest auction wins: A 6-inch AND an 8-inch pair of Mitutoyo calipers in as-new condition. Retail value ~$600. Auction price? $55. Sure glad nobody else knew what they were. I did use various $25-$30 calipers, both dial and digital, for everything, but couldn't resist the Mitutoyos. I still use the lower end ones in the dirtiest areas.

6:15 (g'day from Australia), I was in the same boat as you based on my experience with 1st gen cordless drills. I hung on to my corded drills for a long time. I now own a relatively cheap 18V cordless and doubt I'll returned to a corded tool. One day I'll get a good quality cordless hammer drill too.

[@zackmarshall7131]

You have about two minutes of dead time at the end Walter. I love everything you do and keep kicking ass!!!!

[@PetesCreativeRecycling]

I was going to comment this too. I feel like we're missing something.

[@thomasarussellsr]

I have most of those in my general shop. I have yet to build a forge or long-belt grinder, but these tools are just as handy in a wood shop too. Even in wood the 1-2-3 blocks are invaluable as are files.

[@garethbaus5471]

I have found that a ferriers rasp is really fast at removing wood.

[@al25fcp27]

Tutorial on how to scribe and make a scriber for Fullers maybe a modification for a wide Fuller (like longswords have)would be nice.

[@davidscadlock5569]

Thank you!!! Great info as usual. Your top 10 videos are very useful!!!

[@johanbruinsma6166]

one thing that sees a LOT of work in my shop is my trusty angle grinder. a good selection of cut off discs and flappy discs ranging from 80 grit coarse to polishing discs, can use them for almost anything.

[@TheBottegaChannel]

My nephew wondered why I carried around a set of coarse, medium and fine mill files in my tool pack. Then I showed him how I touched up a chipped edge on his grandma's wood splitting wedge. He now is learning proper filing form so that at age 13 he can make his own knife.

[@LockNLoad777]

Learned a lot from your videos! Thanks!

[@garethbaus5471]

Files may not always be the fastest method, but they are awesome.

[@hunterdeers1]

Hi Why we make the kniefe shining or mirror while we know this will disapear after 1st use spically if we cut lemon or onion what is the goal 2nd can we keep it shining or mirror I mean carbon steel knife 🔪 Regards

[@randallsummers6551]

Good talk Walter. Hope one day to make my own auto hammer and air/hydro press. Take care and God bless

[@twistedpiforge2364]

Great video, there's an old saying he who dies with the most clamps wins

[@williamlivingstone4326]

Can you make a knife only using files and sand paper? (And clamps)

[@Ray-gz4ut]

Check his older videos it already exists.

[@bdamian-ic7sh]

Talk about a lesson in patience.

[@techronmattic5876]

This is a realy helpfull video,thanks

[@scudinthemud]

I'd add a spring-loaded centre punch to the list.

[@kvknives7223]

Wow! Walter you're so great! I also make videos and would appreciate if you could give me a few tips on what I can to to improve on myself! Love the work! Keep it up❤

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

Great choices. You forgot WD-40 and CA glue for cuts.

[@flame_half]

What I learned from this video: Everyone needs a big bastard in their shop.

[@Ray-gz4ut]

Dont cheap out on a drill vice, I did and mine bows far more than the one you showed in your footage, with this item I would rather buy a good secondhand one at a new cheap ones price.

[@billoxley5315]

And dozens of Sharpies.

[@canuckloyalist4681]

Silver pencils are also great to have around!

[@philochristos]

You forgot paper towels and masking tape!

[@vinnysmith587]

I fly through paper towels...

[@canuckloyalist4681]

Also makes a great first aid kit!

[@EldarKinSlayer]

There is a reason classically trained Gunsmiths call files English Mills.

[@EldarKinSlayer]

@Creeping Death files in the hands of a practiced individual can do anything a Mill can do and English gunsmiths in the hey day of fine English Sporting Firearms rarely used Machine Tools. Labor was cheaper than the tooling, often faster as well.

[@mightress]

My tools: files, cheap drillpress, vise, two propane burners and miles of sandpaper and even more patience. But hey i am just a beginner.

[@vinnysmith587]

I'm with you! Starting out as basic as possible. You should get an angle grinder... They save a lot of time on the rough shaping/grinding

[@londiniumarmoury7037]

I once had to clamp a clamp that was clamping something.

[@PetesCreativeRecycling]

If the 1st clamp isn't strong enough, I will clamp a clamp as well. I've even clamped a clamp from the back of the clamp by putting the clamps handle into the handle of the 1st clamp to increase clamping force when I didn't have room for a 2nd clamp.

[@joscram1129]

🤣😅

[@sbjennings99]

Do you ever read the comments?

[@joscram1129]

Idk... but I gotchu!

[@Seamusyt1396]

In construction I never called a cordless drill a drill its a screw gun lol

[@timjackson5555]

My height gauge dieded scribing a monster chef blade :(

[@dreadnought8363]

A sharpie, pencil or chalk... Something to draw on steel.

[@17hmr243]

silver sharpie is better then black as it dosnt burn off wile grinding as easily and it handles dunking in water

[@scotthaddad563]

FILE: A.K.A. “Mexican Milling Machine.”

[@joshuaarellano6600]

Half the video is about files 😂

[@johnjude2685]

Already to much dope ,Look around the city, Investment on homes and schools
