hello friend, they make time eh been looking for someone to do what you do, to get something small, you could communicate with me I would appreciate it very much

[@Thanos-qe6yc]

"No animals are harmed by Us for these videos." I mean, they've been hurt to death at some point along the lines..

[@anon_y_mousse]

I didn't look at the channel ID when I clicked this and for a second I thought I was watching a shurap video. The lack of pepper in the canister confused me, then you popped out. Cool blades, would love to see more of the handle making too.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you!!! I have many videos about making this exact handle, decided to leave it out this time to switch things up a little :)

[@Dan-C-71]

I thought so too just from the thumbnail. 😂

[@theq86]

Glad I'm not the only one that thought that.

[@jamescapps4553]

I did the same thing.

[@tek9102]

Awesome video as usual What did you put between the canister walls and the scrub pads?

[@andrewpeters5907]

That was the cleanest canister removal I’ve ever seen. If it were Forged in Fire, there would have been 3 bottles of white out still wet when the metal goes in, followed by an hour of grinding. Incredible blade!

[@Zoso14892]

The more knives you make, the more I fall in love with your style. Simple, elegant, beautiful. What I wouldn't give to own a full set of kitchen knives crafted by the beard himself!

[@SvdSinner]

Nice to see someone else using their sander as a simple vibration source.

[@bigbird2451]

As a dishwasher turned chef, I greatly appreciate this video. Well done Sir!

[@tracybowling1156]

Who doesn't love the flames of quenching!!?!

[@DonaldAJr]

When you welded the 2 pieces together I started thinking about the show Forged I In Fire where the items split in half like folded up Aluminum Foil.

[@dougadams9419]

Hot concentrated Instant Coffee will accentuate the pattern after the FeCl etch.

[@Einherjar_17]

They turned out beautiful! It's incredible how you've progressed over the years, you improved your workshop with effort and dedication and your techniques too, thank you very much for your videos.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you so much!

[@jared-matthewanderson8844]

4:57 the hydraulic press appears to be enjoying a nice snack.

[@ianstyles9759]

You make the knives with all of your skills and we get a small view of your mind producing magic out of chaos and things of pure beauty,, thank you.

[@alessandroalberto6431]

Eccezionali !!! Pur di usare questi coltelli diventerei un cuoco giapponese !!!

[@dougadams9419]

I see the method of lining the canister with SS sheet is catching on. P.S. You don't need the Whiteout or spray if using SS liners. Stainless won't forge weld to mild steel.

[@jujijime]

I did not think that canister combination would work… 😳 well done!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you!

[@dougadams9419]

Pattern Welded Steel. True Damascus no longer exists.

[@robertmanley7556]

From all the homemade grinders, restored forging presses, homemade forging presses. Come some of the best homemade knives and swords from your shop I have ever seen in the world !! This is why I love your Channel absolute perfection in everything you do !! 👍👍

[@derekheiblim5406]

Another good one man...happy New Year and well wishes for 2023!!

[@patrickmurray9409]

Glad to see you actually exist, lol. Keep it up ,I hope to be able to afford your works of art.

[@johnthemainguy9059]

Nice job. Much better than movie prop blades.

[@robertgray9802]

That Hamom finish is awesome

[@smokeyou812]

Definitely have seen some cool ideas for Damascus from Shurap, but have to admit this was super cool and original.

[@phonotical]

Remember when this wasn't a sword and knife channel...

[@TheNewJankyWorkshop]

Love the sander vibrating setup! :)

[@reverendtfg6802]

*I always wondered about a pot scrubbie knife blank. Those turned out great!*

[@Charlielizard]

Excellent video and blades. Your skills and talents have blossomed over the years. Always look forward to watching a new video from your channel. Thank you so very much. Congratulations on an epic new video.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

2 beautiful knives

[@kiplambel4052]

Thank You! This is exactly what I've been contemplating!

[@Billliamm]

Nice limit switch!

[@GooseGosselin]

Stunning work, bravo! I can't imagine turning out work like this without the upgrades you've made to your shop, and that is my favourite part, seeing the tools you've rescued being used to their full potential. Bravo indeed. Edit: it looks like you were using your new limit switch upgrade?

[@ekim000]

Gorgeous blade steel!

[@mjo326]

I love all of your videos. You are very talented.

[@Votmeyer]

What a beautiful hamon!

[@mconfluence]

Those are 2 great looking knives you made

[@richardabbott5601]

Really nice build as always

[@jongjoorhee931]

Diddo on that. Until I saw the press, I thought it was shurap, too. No offence to you, Mr BBP. I like the fact that you put on the S-grind on the deba style knife. Best non-stick grind ever combined with convex edge. Nice work.

[@ricksolari9570]

After making that beautiful sharpening jig, I can't understand why you still grind an edge by hand.

[@True_MrYasaki]

Oopsss, i thought i'm watching Shraup, until i saw your press :D

[@Alvin-oo5gt]

Extremely nice to watch this!

[@Farm_fab]

I would like to see a knife made from ball and needle bearings the way you started this project. You can get the bearings from a transmission shop. Some disassembly will be required to get them out of the cages and races. An angle grinder and a cutoff wheel should be all you need to cut them. Also, the races are hard, so they took could be used on a knife project.

[@mdavis717]

I want one of those sliders for grinding

[@kzarnold3678]

Nicely done

[@JuanPablo-et7iq]

Great work again 👍

[@Mizai]

looks very nice

[@Sugarkraft]

Very nice equipment! 👍👍

[@tomswindler64]

Different for sure.😎😎😎👍👍👍good video as always

[@theq86]

Looks like you're already befitting from that limit switch. It appears that your press process was smoother, but as an observer I could be wrong. Either way, excellent craftsmanship as usual.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thank you!! For real, that limit switch is sooo handy I don't know how I did so far without :') Never made a billet this flat ever!

[@theq86]

@@BlackBeardProjects Glad it was worth it. It totally shows in your video the precision of your presses. Looking forward to your future works.

[@3DIYOriginal]

Awesome design !! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎

wow that was impressive how easy the canister came off. what was the spray you use?

[@alexanderkononov1113]

Nice

[@nibnob7507]

I remember when he just restored things.

[@brysonalden5414]

Nice blades! I see you don't leave anything to chance in the canister, with both white paint and stainless steel foil. Looks like it worked great!

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Indeed! I think the extra set-up time it's worth the time saved after the forge weld :)

Nice video.

[@Heuroya]

At 0:43 you put 4 metal plates into the canister to prevent materials from being forge welded into the canister. What is the material of that metal plates?

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

I love how you had little waste and got two sweet blades. I saw some pitting towards the end of your meat cleaver. I wonder if preloading the sponge with nickel & 1095 it could fix that? Wasn't that area from the bottom of the canister?

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

Doubtful, not much you can do to keep the powder everywhere on the sponge and inside it. Doing one sponge at a time might help though. Fill the sponge, vibrate the hell out of it with maybe an air hammer or sawzall, pack it down in the press, then do it again for the second sponge and so forth until you fill the canister.

[@TheOctabreaker]

@@Skinflaps_Meatslapper that would be how I would do it, one sponge at a time, then powder, then get it settled and repeat.

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

@@TheOctabreaker I think it's a pretty awesome concept worth perfecting, almost gives it a crucible steel/wootz appearance. There's also different types of steel wool to experiment with too, like stainless (non-hardening though, so it'd have to be an outer layer) and copper (for an interesting CuMai pattern).

[@TheOctabreaker]

@@Skinflaps_Meatslapper would the copper affect the structural integrity of the knife at all?

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

@@TheOctabreaker Yes, in a way, but effectively no in the way a traditional CuMai knife is made. The steel would be mixed between the copper wool and support it quite well, sort of like the way epoxy resin impregnates fiberglass (it may even forge down better with fewer voids, given that copper is almost liquid at steel forging temps). This CuMai layer would normally be forge welded like a taco shell to an inner monosteel core that will end up being the cutting edge and the primary source of strength and hardness of the knife. Crunchy outer CuMai shell, spicy 1095 steel filling. The big thing you want to avoid is having copper on or near the cutting edge, as it'll wear much faster and create a jagged edge where the copper wears off. A lot of regular steel damascus knives are made in the same way, as the pattern welded steel will never equal the strength of a homogenous alloy steel. There will always be imperfections and less than ideal welds, and the two different steels mixed together have different temperatures for proper heat treating...so one steel might get a proper hardening but the other gets a mediocre hardening. Whatever strength you lose with the CuMai or damascus cladding can be restored by simply making the cladding slightly thicker, or the monosteel core thicker, or both depending on what you want. Ultimately, it doesn't really need to be as strong as possible, unless you intend to use it as a competition cutter, in which case you'd be forging down a monosteel blade and not even attempting any damascus or CuMai, just a single piece of homogenous steel is the strongest option. Few people will ever willingly put their knives under the kind of forces that would break them, even a CuMai will withstand a whole lot of abuse before it fails. One thing you don't want to do with any sort of CuMai knife is to treat it like a stainless steel knife or even just a carbon steel knife...corrosion can happen fast and it'll work its way far deeper into your knife, following the places where the copper and steel are fused together. Best to keep it clean and oiled as much as possible.

[@marcb410]

waoo cool art

[@TheVirgilio77]

Appreciate the effort you put into this I'm sure it was a challenge to deal with the forge weld as it wasn't 100% stable Thank you and keep up the great work

[@yoyobah1862]

I wonder what it would turn out like if you used titanium powder?

great, fist forgin, what's the material use into the square tube for isolan?
