I think the most impactful things in this video is the measurement and quality control. I would recommend finding the max cleareances where the balis still feel good, and and designing measurable tolerances to ensure you can consistently maintain that. Good work!

Love the progress you're making with these prototypes! Really inspirational to see someone who takes their idea and makes it a reality! Also, tolerance stacking is a pain in the ass!

[@danielson7756]

No way- I've been rebinging this series and now this wonder of a video just released. highlight of my week

[@billstrahan4791]

Awesome update! Watching your contour pass where the end mill is hitting full engagement briefly made me think of a change I made recently that really helped with titanium and stainless. (Aluminum lets you get away with almost anything!) Look under the linking or passes tab on your contour op, and play with feed optimization. Basically it lets you reduce the feed within a distance of a specific angular change. So long sweeping contours shouldn't need anything changed, but on inside 90 degree corners, or in your case it looked like it was about a 160 degree change of direction, you can set a reduced feed rate. This helped a ton, especially in the hard metals. Try it for those contour passes like you have on your blade. To see what's being affected, simulate the contour path in Fusion but switch the tab on the simulation to info. You'll be able to see the feed rates during the simulation and you can see where it slows down and speeds back up as it enters and exits that tight corner. Good luck!

[@carflipz1919]

You are the Joe Pera of machining... So soothing..

[@ianroberts5683]

can't wait for these to go into production, looking awesome man!

[@gromit7573]

I see a bunch of people in the comments talking about how excited they are to see the end product, and I am to, but I'm loving this series so much, the explanations and insights are fantastic and seeing the process of it all is so satisfying. Thanks for putting in the work, I really appreciate it :)

[@Lukearse82]

man, i been watching your process and growth throughout you Baliscissors journey and i gotta say, every update you give has made me want a pair more and MORE!!! . . . I cannot wait until you have the final product ready for purchase. Would love to hold a pair in my hands whilst watching the final video explaining you hapiness at the final product ;) . . . Rock on mate.

[@Hiasibua]

I loved that screw part at the end! Looks like you've learned a lot yet again. Still after so many episodes, your skills are improving further and further. And we can all learn a bit from you. Thanks for being so persistent, determined and focused!

Nothing Makes Me Audibly Cheer Like A New Upload From This Guy

A concept I learned early on as a mechanic is "fail faster". Because the faster you hit that fail point, the faster you can learn why you failed, and get back in to try again. Loving the progress with these so far, would love to see a comparison of prototype 1 to finished product when you are done with them.

[@alexbevan2183]

I have a lot of respect for you and your design process! You have put so much effort into doing this and I can’t wait for the final result. I’m an engineering apprentice and we are always told ‘don’t assume anything no matter how small’ so to see a mistake like the screw chamfer is reassuring. Keep up the great content and design refining!

[@kdls1677]

Every time I watch one of your vids I can't help but just admire how far you've come. It's really been a journey watching your progress, and I seriously can't wait until I see what you do next. Best of luck!!!!!!

With the screws in, those blanks look like they really enjoy being machined. Little happy faces 😀

[@kludwick7397]

To be honest, I haven’t subscribed, but I see a video about this project every few months to sorta follow the process, and the closer you get, the more I realize I want a pair in a holster on my tool belt as soon as you go into production because you actually care about making this product absolutely perfect and reliable

[@The_Original_Drex]

You might want to consider A2 for the final blade material, where I work we use it for cutting punches and dies and it holds up relatively well for punching out steel, we can run over 60k parts sometimes before anything needs sharpening

[@Zertrebender]

I've got one tip for you. If you have problems with damaged screw heads ditch your Wera Hex Plus Allen keys. They just damage screws in lightning speed. Try out a good set of PB Swiss or Wiha keys, they aren't rounded and are much less aggressive and don't damage your screws in the cost of weras Tool life.

I will probably never own your baliscissors, but watching the development process has been VERY interesting. Keep up the great work!

Been watching these updates since the first one came out, incredible to see the polish and precision of these upgraded models in comparison to the first few prototypes you showed.

[@Koszarek1911]

I watch your videos from time to time and just wanted to pop in and say how much I enjoy the content. I'm inspired by what you've developed in the Baliscissor design, as well as the progress you've made in the fabrication process. Though I know little of machining work, it seems as though you learn a lot from each step of the process and can apply these lessons effectively. The videos themselves are a joy to watch, I appreciate the effort you put into the filming and narration. From my point of view everything you try to communicate comes though clear and concise. Cheers!

[@chrissasin]

Watching this progression of this project really helps me understand and appreciate just how amazingly well built some of the other balisongs out there are with their tight tolerances and design. When I first saw one of these videos I thought how hard could it really be? Has me wondering just how much time and energy is put into even just simple newly designed bali's...crazy...

[@tage_heritage]

I was not thinking "uhhh, duh!?" You're designing something awesome and there's learning at every step... which is probably thousands of them. I do get it though. I've been doing my job for 9 years and even still I'll make a mistake that is simple and I should've noticed. I face palm every time.

[@ca8064]

Thank you for the videos. To me, it's fascinating to see how the baliscissors evolved over time. I myself experienced sacrificing big chunks of work and progress for the sake of simplification and actually making the thing good at what it's supposed to do. It's especially annoying because the end product looks like something you could have developed in just a few months, sometimes even weeks. I deeply respect your patience and wish you the best for a soon final prototype. Also interested in buying one :)

Still enjoying the development process here. I'm really interested in making knives someday so it's helpful to have a whole series dedicated to the design process and the kinks that go into machining and tool making. I'll definitely be revisiting this series in the future when I have the time and the funds to pursue some dreams of mine.
