A lot of people ask how I put my pommel caps on with no visible attachments or seeing the threaded rod showing. Here is how I do it. Re Welding. I know you are a better welder than I am. Yes it is strong enough.

Your technique of using the drill press as a guide to tap a piece has been really helpful. thanks for that, and nice work!

Stuart I enjoy watching you work, the complex combinations you use to make the handles of your knifes is what we in Canada call - "Sharp" as in unique and well thought out. I do how ever have a technical question for you regarding 2x72 grinders, and that being why doesn't anyone use steel or cast iron wheels in the machine set up?
@StuartSmithHandForgedKNives7 жыл бұрын
Clarhett Coalfield our grinders are 2 by 78 and I have no idea why they don't use cast iron. Aluminium is just the way I buy them. thanks for watching

No smart arse self congratulatory point, but a genuine question because I am interested, but wouldn't a leather 'washer' between blade and guard do the same as the plastic washer and just look more traditional?
@StuartSmithHandForgedKNives Жыл бұрын
its a good question. Many makers do use leather. The downside is that it will swell and shrink over time if not treated propely, evetually disintergrating. I use G10 these days as it is far longer lasting than previous materials I have used.

Not a negative comment about your welding. I'm no good at welding. Which brings me to my question. I can't weld, but I can braze like a boss. Do you think brazing would hold a threaded nut well enough?
@StuartSmithHandForgedKNives2 жыл бұрын
Definitly. Unfortunately i lack any brazing equipment

@samrodian9197 жыл бұрын
on your welding Stuart, and this has nothing to do with the quality or otherwise, if you were to grind a 6 mm slot in the end of the tang say 10 or 12mm deep you can slide the 6mm threaded rod into it and weld it all up and you would have a better hold on the blade than if you had welded it to the end . You can also up the amps a bit and get a deeper bite of weld into both pieces. And once ground off, Hey Ho! perfect weld!

I posted a comment on KZbin about your work and you responded but I requested a Damascus chisel on your “sale” page via Facebook to which you never responded....why is that, I thought people need to make money selling their goods....if you don’t respond you can forget me wanting you to make a chisel.....don’t advertise for work then ignore requests.
@StuartSmithHandForgedKNives5 жыл бұрын
My apologies Mark. If I'm busy I'll read a message but not respond. It often happens I will forget about it. But to answer your question, late though it may be, I do not make chisels. If you haven't already got one I can recommend someone who may be able to help. Also these are tutorials not advertisements. Stu
