Denis is a great guy and has helped me transition from stock removal, to hammer forging and now making layered damascus. He’s also very responsive to messages and helpful with his in depth answers. He’s definitely one of the guys I hope to meet at a blade show.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I’ll be there in Atlanta. Come by the table and say hi! Thanks for watching!

[@professorakali]

Thank you so much for this video. I've been looking to get into knife making as a hobby, this was incredibly helpful!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I’m glad it was helpful. Checkout today’s video on the bladesmithing portion of that getting-started. 👍. Thanks for watching

[@RileyPierce_]

I'm glad to see the beginner series is being remade! I feel like this is going to help lots of beginners. I think a coal forge is a great choice for anyone who doesn't have those extra bucks, also salt or a temp gun are useful to get a good heat treat.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I’ll certainly be covering beginner forging. Though with the price of gas forges these days, I have to recommend that over coal. Plus I don’t have very much experience with coal myself, only using it twice. Thanks for following along.

[@Recklessness97]

Awesome video! I'm really looking forward to the series!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks for following along!

[@RVLforge]

Thanks Dennis. Very excited you are going through these again. The beginner series was what I used to watch two years ago and got me started. Great refresher to go over again, and can’t wait for the intermediate. Joined ABS recently and jumping from full tang to hidden tang has got to my head. Love the videos and content. Thanks for all you do for the community.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I’ll be redoing the intermediate course after this one… stay tuned!

[@timothysullivan4130]

I use 1095 high carbon stock 1/8 in thick.Dennis videos are VERY helpful, he explains everything well.👍✌️

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks for following along, Timothy.

[@TalRohan]

I think its always worth watching Denis no matter what your skill level. I blacksmith and I can shape all manner of sharp shiny objects but I still enjoy watching and learning from the channel. This is a great breakdown for getting started, its surprising how fast the needs add up and if you don't have a guide you can end up with some really expensive or dodgy purchases that either make you wonder why you started or just break the bank when there are better options Denis is right on the mark. Thanks for sharing

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I'm sure if I had this video to learn from when I started I would have saved myself some money and headaches! Thanks for watching.

[@twm929]

Looking forward to this series. Thank you.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Stay tuned for the next installment this thursday! Thanks for following along!

[@Ramsesdgr8]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I love your work!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thank you for watching and following along!

[@mcrich1978]

I'd recommend , I'm sure Jerid would too, to shop your local Facebook market for some of these tools aswell like a vise , etc.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Great advice! Always good deals to be had on tools! Thanks, Matt

Awesome beginning Denis! Going to be a great series! Thanks for sharing my brother! 😎👍🏻🔨🔥🔪

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks for tuning in, Bob!

[@6Sally5]

Denis…thank you SO much for doing this! I have just started blade making relying on YT videos for instruction and no small part of those are from you.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

That’s great, welcome to the craft! Thanks for following along. 🙏

[@dominickeen6091]

Can’t wait to watch them

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks for following along, Dominick!

[@brysonalden5414]

Right on! Especially the brief note not to buy knife steel on Amazon (to which I would add eBay) because there's no way to know what you're actually getting.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Absolutely right, both eBay and Amazon are bad ideas. Thanks for watching, Bryson!

[@BrandonGuise]

Solid INfo as per usual! :)

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks, Brandon! 🙏

[@ginojeffries4285]

Thank you so much. I do enjoy your videos. I may even want to try making a knife. I’m disabled so time isn’t a problem. And if I could figure out solar I have a building I could set up

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I hope you try the craft! It’s very personably rewarding. Thanks for watching.

[@hunt_trap_fish]

You can call a local flooring company too and ask for hardwood flooring "excess" or "waste" too. They'll usually be happy to just give you a box.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

True, but it's really not that interesting of a handle material. Exotic hardwood is pretty cheap and looks so much better. Thanks for watching.

[@hunt_trap_fish]

@@TyrellKnifeworks oh, I agree. Just sayin!

Thanks for following the channel! The rest of the series will hopefully be helpful as well.

[@dominicdwk]

Yes!!!

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Thanks for watching, Dominic!

[@bjsreef6620]

Thank you for making this video series. I learned a lot in the first two minutes of the video. Just one question, what size drill press do you recommend, 8 or 10 inches?

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Get the largest you can afford. I started with the small Wen drill press and had that for years until I just recently added a big standup press to the shop. Thanks for watching.

[@timothysullivan4130]

I get all my wood from BELL FOREST, Very high quality scales.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Great stuff at amazing prices. I don’t buy any regular wood (non-burls, non-stabilized) at knife supply places anymore. Thanks for watching.

[@artmetalscience66]

Thanks for sharing! I saw where you got the Housemade 2x72 a while back, just wondering how you would compare it to the Broadbeck. I'm going to upgrade and trying to decide.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

In functionality, they are pretty much identical. I do like the tilting rest from Brodbeck better, but that’s an add on anyway. It comes down to if you can weld and build it or you want it ready to assemble. Thanks for watching.

[@artmetalscience66]

Thanks Denis!@@TyrellKnifeworks

[@Doozler]

Great video, thank you! Where can I get a "Quality Drill Press" for $80??

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

Well it depends on your version of “quality” I guess. The Wen version linked in my Amazon store is a very reliable drill press. I see it’s gone up a bit around $100, but a great machine. Nice had one for years and it’s never failed. Thanks for watching.

[@hassanjaved1904]

Will you do Damascus series again

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

That series is still pretty fresh. Probably not for a while. I’ll be redoing the intermediate series though and that will be a Damascus build. Thanks for watching.

[@leandrocosta5548]

I'll give you a hint: what about forging a Kusarigama?

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I’m confused, what does that have to do with this video?

[@leandrocosta5548]

​@@TyrellKnifeworksnothing. I Just gave you a Idea for a new video, 'cause you are a smith.

[@grege2383]

5:40 - be sure to get and angle grinder that has the trigger switch! Sooner or later IT WILL KICK OUT OF YOUR HANDS. At least one reputable welding KZbin channel has demonstrated the dangers of using an angle grinder with the On/Off switch. The trigger switch saved my femoral arterie from being severed 20 years ago when mine kicked out of my hands and the cutting wheel hit the inside of my thigh.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I’ve never seen one with an on-off that’s not done kind of pressure/rocker switch. I don’t think they even make those anymore, at least not here in California. Good advice though. Thanks for watching.

[@grege2383]

@TyrellKnifeworks - Unfortunately, on the east coast they're just as common and a little cheaper than the trigger switch.

[@gerhardgerber946]

Don't, just don't. About 8 years and 200+ knives later and I wish I took the holidays rather than buying grinders etc.

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I have no idea what your comment means. If people want to get into this craft, they need the tools.

[@gerhardgerber946]

@@TyrellKnifeworks direct reply to the title of the video 🙂, but my personal disillusionment should not reflect on your video, thank you for your efforts, learned a lot here
