Pineapple Twist

[@RevRedmondFarrier]

At such high temps the surface of the iron oxidizes extremely quickly and flakes off as the metal is being worked. As Gary said, it is called scale. Btw, Gary, thank you very much for this video! I tinkered a little with blacksmithing several years ago and just got back into the smithy today for the first time in around 5 years or so. I will be attempting this for the handle of my next rail road spike knife.

[@thelamb288]

I have been watching various vids on Blacksmithing, but never found one which shows a person how to skilfully make decorative patterns as you do. Cheers.

[@EddieCheong168]

Simple, yet look beautiful! Thank you!

[@sdcb27]

This is probably the best tutorial of a pineapple twist I have seen on video. Well done sir.

[@DarkSifu]

Thats more than a Decoration, A knife handle with this would be excellent, great taction for gloves and tools handles. thanks for the video that looks amazing.

[@gilotine76]

Very nice. I agree that with the end done as ball (or other shape) would make a very good looking handle.

[@candymountainforge]

a very beautiful twist my friend,you have great skill

[@freezinweasle1]

Gary, very nice tutorial. Thank you very much. Nicely done. I have a large wooden mallet and a block of wood that I use for straightening all my twists.

[@trumpnut]

Great video Gary, I do enjoy your work and this wasn't what I was expecting. I thought you were doing a basket but I really like this for a nice handle, thanks again.

[@blightcraftgamma]

Thank you so much for posting this. Well made, well done

[@kevincallaby1633]

amazing work, such a beautiful effect. Never seen it before, I want pineapple twists everywhere now

[@Karokash]

This looks incredible, Once I start getting decent if I can get this technique somewhere near what you are showing here I know I will be using it often in any decorative pieces I do for friends. Thanks for sharing the knowledge

[@johnjude2677]

Looks good. Again Thanks Gary

[@mkironman55]

Man, nice job. Thanks for the demo.

[@bjornnjordson2986]

I love this. It looks so cool. I've never seen this anywhere else. That's why I watch this channel. I never know what rabbit you're going to pull out of your hat.

[@yankeetrashhm]

Very nice video, thank you for sharing. I can't wait to try this.

[@paulcip3484]

pretty awesome! The video was great, too, I felt well informed from it.

[@suncebg]

Most beautiful twist i've seen!

[@NordicEdge]

That is so clever. Thank you for another great video. You explain really well

[@TungstenCarbideTempe]

That is illegaly cool!!! Really outstanding trick. I imagine that on a knife handle or other projects. Thank you a million! Great work, great skills thanks again for sharing.

[@garyhuston]

No, not all the way through, just a couple of mm will do. Glad you like the channel.

[@candymountainforge]

@garyhuston its where you cut notches on the corners of the stock and twist it,then it seperates and its called a cube twist

[@MrKaya913]

COOL video! thanks for sharing!!!

[@jnizzle91188]

I'll have to try this one soon! Thanks for sharing

[@Haures66]

Very nice. And egregious endeavour would be to make a flatware set with that handle design.

[@Loredannon]

Very nice, great looking.

[@garyhuston]

Thanks!

[@Grizzydan]

Very cool! Thank you for the tutorial.

[@neredrego]

Love it... Great vid.

[@thomasfleck166]

[@garyhuston]

@SoftwareCommercials What does a cube twist look like? Never heard of it before...

[@fractalInsanity]

that came out nice. good job

[@M.A.S.8513]

that was amazing to what it came out to look like.

[@aZrail5750]

That looks great, their are jig that can make it a lot easier on you like a chain a cross the anvil it keeps the stock from jumping.

[@SoftwareCommercials]

@garyhuston With the cubed twist, you just cut a center line much like what is done with the pineapple twist but instead of twisting it, just take your chisel and cut a groove every 1/4" on two opposite corners. After you get done cutting all of the slits then you can go ahead and twist it however many times you want to. I usually only do a half twist or full

[@lockbuilder]

Great video. Thanks for sharing!

[@OutDoorsMan1342]

thats awsome i love that it look great thanks fo sharing that with us all

[@igvargas72]

muy bonita figura y que sencillo es hacerla, claro después de ver el vídeo, porque antes de verlo no sabría como fue realizado. gracias.

[@swords9023]

This is awesome! I'm going to try this

[@nathanwooler8047]

Looks really cool and like it would be good for gripping!

[@garyevans8116]

Beautiful realy nice mate

[@MrJsowa]

@SoftwareCommercials i also heard it called a spiral/step twist because they look like steps when twisted accurately and properly.but yes a bunch of litte "cubes" staggered

[@wallyanderson5925]

WOW thanks for showing this

[@TerriHogan1]

That was awesome.

[@garyhuston]

Probably a blacksmiths supply company, I got mine from a local secondhand machinery dealer 30 years ago!

[@missourisavage7195]

That was made of awesome.

[@scottleft3672]

wow....that old boaster chisel is awsome, they dont make em like that anymore........id say the pineapple design is called...such, because it has the same natural fibonachie sequence....nice job.

[@tropifiori]

I actually used this as crosspiece for a large camp knife. It looks really cool.

[@garyhuston]

Photos, video?!

[@tropifiori]

garyhuston

[@madsillywilly4408]

that is beautiful!

[@ginger20037]

Not only is it beautiful but functional as well, very nice work! :) I can see why you would call it a pineapple twist

[@wulfesinger67]

its called a pineapple twist because it looks some what like the skin of a pineapple when completed you did a fine job!

[@reconcustoms]

Very cool!

[@garyhuston]

What fuel are you using? What is the regulator for?

[@cristianjerez1838]

muchas gracias por mostrar tu arte, voy a intentar hacerlo

[@garyhuston]

@SoftwareCommercials Sorry, I'm being really dumb, still not really got it, can't find the picture!

[@kurnous34]

wow very nice ty for sharing

[@MarianoMiguel]

Excelente lo voy a intentar!

[@navrod2288]

that is awesome...

[@SoftwareCommercials]

Perfect, what about a cube twist?

[@garyhuston]

I did a small stainless steel knife with this handle in one of my other videos.

[@Knobby_]

thanks for the great vidi! i was just wondering, you dont slice all the way through like a basket? just an indentation befor the first twist? or am i miss understanding. sorry. just not sure, very happy i stumbled across your channel! extremely useful stuff. knowledge is key thanks

[@blue732]

Beautiful. Is the chisel hand-forged or store-bought? Largest one I can find is a brick setters chisel, and the steel isn't very good on it.

[@DiesInEveryFilm]

Hi just wondering would it be better to use a soft face hammer like lead or brass when using a chisel like this?

[@garyhuston]

Onur Caglar No, you would end up ruining the hammer.

[@DiesInEveryFilm]

Brilliant thanks for the advice garyhuston if you want please check out my smithing video although it is a fail. Deffo learning from your videos.

[@nicko9404]

Its a better idea to use a sacrificial steel hammer when using chisels or punches. I use an oil drilling hammer.

[@garyhuston]

+Hot Iron Art why, hammers are meant for hitting things.

[@blizte3]

nice handle for something or fence top

[@sickprojects]

I could do this twist on one of a railroad spike knife handle, thanks for the info :)

[@deweybowling]

I DO THE PINEAPPLE TWIST ON MY KNIVES BUT THEY DONT LOOK THAT GOOD , GRET JOB SIR

[@CRFbadass]

That is amazing!! Wow!! How would you do this if you wanted to make the pattern go say, 2 feet of the length of bar??

[@abgcomeitube]

good idea...thanks...

[@MightyJustas]

Well I see you write proper russian. Anyway, very nice job, im not in to forging or stuff like that but i really like this idea. Looks very good. Ill definitely have forging shop when I retire some day haha

[@dylanlewis9349]

Pineapple twist Damascus

[@DarrenMalin]

very intresting thank you :)

[@deanburrell6361]

could you do a video on how to do a cotton mouth knife handle? i cannot find an instruction video on how to do this anywhere. many thanks

[@SoftwareCommercials]

@garyhuston The best explanation I can find is this youtube video Forging a Fireplace Tool Handle.mpg so if you search that you can see.

[@samyboysss]

Amazing

[@canser69]

Claim: use the pineapple or the 'decorative twist' for a knife handle.I know about the bad balance but will be a beautyful decorative knife.

[@MrHerbah]

nice info

[@hasky2k]

That ahs falling down from iron while you were forgeing is that carbon? Or maybe pollution from metal?

[@Cordova449]

Sweet!!

[@castandforge9927]

where do you got that big chisel from? very nice work btw :)

[@garyhuston]

The local hardware store it's just an ordinary bolster.

[@jimcurtis6023]

Called a masonry chisel in US.

[@garyhuston]

I get mine from a steel supply company in 20 foot lengths....

[@doug12341988]

nice!

[@hasky2k]

Iron oxide then... why I didn't find it out by myself? Thank you guys :)

[@MarianoMiguel]

¡Great!

[@ppmodelmaker]

[@ppmodelmaker]

[@garyhuston]

Можете вы спросить этот вопрос на английском языке?

[@StevesProjects]

[@garyhuston]

Scale.

[@cucumelo]

genial!!!!! capo!!

[@genericfighter]

It's called a pineapple twist because it looks like a pineapple. Good job, though. I always loved this twist, even more than the basket twist.

[@Chris-sv7xq]

sweet anvil. Suckers are sure expensive.

[@garyhuston]

They are but what other major tool in the shop lasts your entire life and probably the next generation as well!

[@7602416553]
