I'm excited about this build coming together! You definitely want to stay tuned to see how it turns out! As always, post your questions below!

[@FK-sn6zw]

Could you make a triple T about a blade/knife grinding jig. If its necessary or not, pros and cons.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

@@FK-sn6zw I've covered that topic in my recent videos on grinding tips. I don't suggest a grinding jig. It just delays the inevitable of you having to learn to grind freehand. There are things you can't do with a jig or they are so tedious and time consuming that its not worth it. If you are making 20 or 30 copies of the same knife, then yes a jig might help, but that's really the only use case I suggest them for.

[@OrrCustoms]

Just when I think I know everything, you release another video and take me to school. I'm enjoying this build series.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Haha, we never know everything. ABS .. always be schooling. 😜. Thanks for watching.

[@JPsBladeworks]

Great work as always. Like then trick with the nails to mark the pins. Going to have to steal that idea for my future projects

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Steal away, brother! Thanks for watching.

[@browndogquecompetitionbbq4253]

Very nice. Love the hidden pins and how it all come together. Can’t wait to see the finished product.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

You’ll start to see the form next episode! Thanks for watching.

[@jamestechmeyer4622]

Doing my own build along with this is immensely helpful. Thank you for explaining everything so well! I owe you a drink.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I drink Crown Royal... 🤣. Thanks for watching, James!

[@chrisoliver1327]

Another awesome video! You are so good.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks for watching, Chris! ❤️

[@isaacsudduth1574]

That's looking awesome. I am currently working on a camp knife Bowie for my next door neighbor. I still have a ways to go, but this video inspired me to keep at it. Can't wait to see the final product.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks for taking a look, Isaac! Good luck on your camp knife!

[@drewdoesart9277]

Another great video. Can't wait for the next one.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

There will at least be one more, if not two, remaining in this series. Thanks for watching, Drew!

[@lewgriffinknives216]

Great work, looking forward to seeing the final piece!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks for watching, it should be a nice piece I think. 👍

[@TalRohan]

There is something very cool about lathe work, I started my woodcarving exploits using chisels and all that , then discovered lathe work and very quickly went from mostly carving to mostly lathe work. I evened it out somewhat later though and came back to blacksmithing ...turns out I am fickle lol The bowie is looking awesome

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks for following this build!

[@jasonvliet-odonataknifeworks]

Beautiful build as always…I vote yes for the induction forge!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Ha, well it’s not really high on my shopping list, but maybe some day. Thanks for watching, Jason.

[@terrywright3359]

Nice work sir

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks for watching, Terry!

[@likebot.]

I'm impressed that the torch didn't move even a millimetre during the hammering.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Well kudos to the rigidity of my anvil then. 😜. Thanks for watching.

[@MrSoloun]

Looking good, thanks for going through all the steps its interesting and good to see. Looking forward o seeing how it turns out, that angle looks extreme for the handle, but that's just me, not knocking it, I'm just interested to see the finale profile to get a better idea but it suits the knife style I guess?

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

When you see the next episode you’ll see that the angle works out great. Thanks for watching.

[@brysonalden5414]

Nice progress, nice work, nice handle, but ugh, the geometry! Getting everything so perfectly aligned and planned makes me wish I'd payed closer attention in my math classes.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Ah, but it's not that hard, just tedious. It's important to get things aligned now and not just rush to the next step or everything else will be off and cause you grief later. Thanks for watching, Bryson!

[@michaelrobertson8795]

I was thinking the same thing about getting an induction furnace, would make it a lot easier and cheaper. I am a retired Industrial electrician and probably have most of the parts to build one. The Blades looking awesome!👍✌

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I don’t know about cheaper, but it certainly would be quicker. Thanks for watching.

[@johncarter9399]

You could also use a spring center with a tap handle.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I’m not that familiar with the spring center. What would he the purpose? It doesn’t make threads right?

[@johncarter9399]

@@TyrellKnifeworks It's a round, spring loaded device that is put into a chuck in the tailstock. It is used to start a tap straight when tapping by hand. Your tap handle probably has a hole, or a dimple on the back. The spring center is brought forward, and loaded up there.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

@@johncarter9399 ok, I know what you’re talking about.

[@jasonvliet-odonataknifeworks]

You can also buy bottoming taps…in case you were unaware.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

You are referring to a non-tapered tap. Yes they threads almost all the way down but they still drive the chips down and not out. Thanks for watching.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Haha, no, I don’t have much interest in getting one. I actually love using the oxy torch. 😉. Thanks for watching!

[@mcrich1978]

@@TyrellKnifeworks you bet buddy!

[@TRichardsBlades]

I wish I had a lathe, pretty hard to do a pommel nut without one 😔

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I meant to add a mention... I did a pommel nut on my mill before I had a lathe in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4W4h2Z-fpJ-arM. You just need to put the work in your collet and then put a lathe tool in your vice. It works quite well. (of course you need a mill). Thanks for watching.

[@bobgore1962]

I'm really enjoying this series, Denis! I especially like the s.s. nail tip. Thanks for sharing my brother! 😎👍🏻🔨🔥🔪 P.S. Do you use the s.s. nails for the permanent pins, as well?

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Yes, those are the permanent pins. Thanks for watching, Bob!

Muito bom !

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Obrigado por assistir!

[@MrJensen500]

Idea. Copper feather damascus.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

That’s not possible, the copper would go through the blade and it would be very weak. Thanks for watching m

Lathes are scary man. I stay well away from lathes. Mills are fine but not lathes.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Honestly, what's the difference? Both have spinning metal at high speed with cutters moving into them. They are equally dangerous. Also, you can build a mill with a lathe, but you can't build a lathe with a mill. 😉

[@billhatcher2984]

Maby a gunsmith they spend a big part of their time machining different parts

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Yup, they sure do. Thanks for watching, Bill.

[@TobaccoTooling]

That pommel nut is going to be so weak making the od only 5/16 with 1/4 threads that’s only .03125” or a 32nd of an inch for a wall. You should go thicker

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

No, that’s plenty strong. It’s not going to get a lot of lateral stress.

[@TobaccoTooling]

@@TyrellKnifeworks that make sense. I’m thinking of it from a machinest standpoint not a knife making aspect. And we’ll, you’re the pro! Love your videos Dennis. Keep up the great work! Can’t wait to see some videos on those new tools you’ve been acquiring!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

@@TobaccoTooling with a knife construction, that entire mechanism is encased in the handle so it’s very strong. I have a video coming up showcasing a cool large tool you’ll probably be interested in. Thanks for watching.
