Hey Zed, Thanks as always for all your hard work putting these videos together! I've been carving spoons for about two years now, added bowl turning last year (made my own pole lathe!), and have been getting into blacksmithing as well. All due in large part to the wealth of info you provide on your channel. I'm very appreciative that you and Nic took the time to put this video together as there's so much in here that I had no idea I'd have to wrestle with trying to forge curved blades. I hope that some day the two of you get the chance to do a spoon knife video in the vein of the turning sloyd knife, that was a great series! Congrats on the upcoming 100k subs, you deserve it man.

I sincerely appreciate your kind words regarding the videos and channel, I really mean that. It warms my heart to hear how the videos have played a part in your carving journey, props on building your own lathe too! It isn't always easy for me to get out and film these videos as well as organise the myriad of logistics behind the scenes in amidst of my day to day work. However, I do try my best to capture as much as I can so as to help folk like yourself. Regarding a spoon forging video, I am working behind the scenes to hopefully film a video covering that, so fingers crossed. Many thanks once again for your kind words and stay blessed my man ~Peace~

Love your diplomacy. Art of in any kind is subjective and a learning process. It really bothers me when I see people downing others who are just not as far along or going a different direction than they. I believe in encouraging not discouraging. This is in my opinion how we progress as a species. Thank you 🙏

Hi Zed. I have been following you for a long time. You make great videos with craftsmen who do their job well. The videos you shot with Nic are also outstanding. Nic is a very talented craftsman. And he's not shy about sharing his knowledge. This is very valuable. I am grateful to you and Nic for sharing this valuable information. I am a craftsman living in Turkey. I'm into wood carving and tool making. I hope to meet both you and Nic one day. Best..

R2 Wood here... Fantastic to get this info from Nic out there for all to see. Being an owner of many of his tools and many chats, I was familiar with the bevel geometry parts but never knew about the crowning with bent steel. Fascinating stuff! Thanks Zed and Nic, and extra thanks for the shout out to the Bodgers org.
@Zedoutdoors3 ай бұрын

Always great to watch your videos, Zed. I was hoping somewhere in these two it might be mentioned what sort of edge angle is optimal for a spoon knife though! I’m guessing somewhere between 20 and 25? but I was hoping to see how Nic gets consistent and accurate edge angles on these knives… seems like that part of the process was completely skipped… of course, lots of other great info, as always, so thanks again.
@Zedoutdoors3 ай бұрын
Hi Paul, I appreciate your kind words and for watching. Regarding the edge angle on a spoon knife, unless I am mistaken it is usually between 25-27, if Nic reads this he can hopefully clarify. Regarding how Nic gets consistent edge angles on his spoon knives, that is out of the remit of this video as this video is only focused on the theory relating to edge geometry ~Peace~
@paulkozowyk3 ай бұрын
@@Zedoutdoors thanks!
@nicwestermann42063 ай бұрын
Edge angle is dependent on the steel you are using and wood you expect to be carving, it's generally going to be the same for a straight knife, but in reality you can grind a slightly shallower angle, as despite your best efforts you always get a bit of rounding in the outside, as Zed said though no specifics this was just theory , the application is up to you. Make one, test it then refine .
@paulkozowyk3 ай бұрын
@@nicwestermann4206 great, thanks for your response! Indeed, I have been experimenting, but it is hard to measure the angles on my ready made ones because of the convexity. I find I keep gravitating to a Pfeil that has a very acute angle. I don’t have the equipment to make a lot to compare, or re grind bevels easily, so having a starting point in mind is already a big help. T
