Truly gorgeous work. Love the guard shape, and think I actually prefer the subtle layers for that piece. The blade turned out perfectly, and the walnut spacer really worked and looked like it absolutely belonged. Overall a very impressive piece.

I thought i had seen all the contesters of the KZbin challenge, but i did not. Its pretty odd while i did go to the Google Docs page. I really like the blade, certainly a good contester. Greetings, Jeff

for a meat and potato guy i think you did well, i like the end result and could see it being used by one of the Orks in the lord of the rings, the pattern is really nice, good job, and please do something about the wobbly press 😊

This "Fantasy" blade turned out fantastic. Caught my attention from the beginning when you'd seen challenges and was now going to go for it. Was blinded by the beauty of the Elven Sword at the end. The coloring, Damascus lines, handle...everything matched up perfectly. Am still in awe at the uniqueness and beauty intertwined. Joined your channel as a subscriber and will definitely pass your videos to my buddies. Thanks for an amazing video and custom blade. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

You've got a lot of play in the pin at the top of your press where the cylinder meets the top plate. That might be why your press is not squaring up the billets. I would recommend getting a sacrificial metal bearing surface between the pin and the top plate.
@4wknives Жыл бұрын
I have thought about that. I have been worried that I might do something stupid and put it in a bind or something. Thanks for suggestion. I definitely need to do something

@@4wknives Look up Babbitt Bearings. It is what they used to do before roller bearings were a thing. Also, a brass sleeve is a good sacrificial metal.
