If you boil deer antler with the tea, does it shrink or warp at all?
I enjoy the rustic feel of the audio and the setting. Have you ever thought about making videos on how to make blackpowder? I make it at home. Learning metallurgy, blackpowder and combining them together. With real science could be a huge bloom for you. I think a lot of people are looking for videos that combine these aspects. A lot of us just want to have a skillset that will keep ourselves self-sufficient in hard times.
Do you have any videos on making "thick" bushcraft knives?
i agree with everyone else. its great to see another video. we all enjoy watching you work. reminds me of another friend. he knaps flint and obsidian. he starts with a rock and pieces of it look like they just melt away and leaves behind a perfect point or knife blade. you start with a piece of scrap metal and it slowly transforms into a very useful and aesthetically pleasing tool. love your work and my 2 knives. keep 'em coming. brother randy
Thank you for the content, always learn lots when watching, one thing I notice is you have quite a distinct hammer technique, would love to see a tutorial on your hammer technique if ever you get a chance to make one, it almost looks like your brushing the metal into place but at the same time pinning the metal with each strike like a power hammer, looks awesome! all the best, cheers!
Y'all done with vids
You ought to dress up your anvil, spend two days fixing the edges and smooth out the top, seriously it's in a pretty sad state, great video awesome little knife, you have sum talent Sport
@@bigGeo5460 I have 10 anvils I am not worrying to much about it it serves me well. And thank you!!
@@oldsouthforge831just made an observation no matter it's your anvil personally it's to rough for me but I'm not using it sorry I didn't mean to piss you off take it easy
@@bigGeo5460 no way you didn’t piss me off. I am sorry if you took it that way.
@@oldsouthforge831 that good I thought you were upset me talking smack about your anvil, I'm super fussy about my Hay Budden and Peter wright and my vise's appreciate the response by the way you are a talented man I like your channel 🙏🇺🇲😎.
Glad to see another post Chad. Cameraman getting better at his job too. He’ll probably become a talented smith himself as your narration is valuable instruction. My dad used to talk like you as he worked and I didn’t know at the time he was passing out hundred dollar bills. I listened but sometimes I find myself trying to remember what he said about… That’s another nice little blade by the way.
Really great, was just looking back through my old liked videos, always wondered why you didn't drift the eye to a tapered circle to make it easier to replace the handle in the bush, either way, lovely work 👍
I have like 2 full bags of antlers and i want to make me a few knives but dont have anything to make knives out of can i go to places like old shops to take them apart . Not junk ones but good knives
I have drills and sanders and all the other equipment. Just want to do something with these
Really like your channel , please keep it up !
Awesome video
Very nice
Yes, very helpful, just the information I have been looking for. I now can see it all in focus and know when I cobble my first forge together it will be well along the learning curve. Thanks very much.
Anyone watching the video. You can turn your phone sideways and zoom in. TH-cam start doing that about six months ago
You should have just hammered with the pistol glocks are great all around tools so why not
Annealing and normalizing are 2 totally different processes and functions. And done at different times and steps in the knife making process.
Love watching you making stuff the old way .
Thank you so much Much!
Just found your videos and really enjoying them
Your the man
Enjoyed it Chad! I always learn from watching you work.
I've got a Kirby vacuum cleaner hooked up to mine, that I've got plugged into a powerstat in series so I can manually control the voltage and thereby the fan speed. I was going to suggest that, but I just found out what one of them powerstats costs on the internet (but considering how much a Kirby vacuum cleaner costs new, if you can find a $10 vacuum you can find a $10 powerstat if you know what to look for.) If you can find one though, you can manually drop the speed down. Another option would be to have a valve and a fume hood, and just route any unnecessary air pressure out the exhaust to suck any airborn particulate and fumes away from your face. It is useful to me to know that I should be using very little air with the forge I am making, as I have been using quite a bit more than I need to.
You make it look so easy. Excellent skill, love the shape of the blade. 👌👏
Thanks man. This helped a lot. I already bought my first pre-annealed 1095 but I'm happy to properly learn the anneal/normalization process.
Awesome
Qué hermoso trabajo hermosa cosas bien hecha a mano muy linda y es maravilloso , vi los sopladores es muy bonitos las forjas de carbón de piedras y el yunques un monstruos es ganar de forjas los metales es cómo un arte. Saludos maestro desde Argentina 🇦🇷🔥⚒️🪓🗡⚙️🔩🪚🔧🪛.
Bank and wet down dammit.
Knifes are easy, you don't need 1 for your lifetime, you need multiple, in your lifetime, and all are easy to make, for free.
Great project! One nit to pick is that isn't a tomahawk, it's an axe, due to the method of hanging out on the haft. Doesn't take away from the finished product necessarily, but it isn't as well suited to throwing this way.
i have watched this video 3-4 times. i love the way you transform a piece of scrap and a plain antler stick into not only a useful tool, but a lifetime heirloom keepsake for someone. keep it up buddy. great work. randy
thanks!! my great grandpa left his coal forge to me and i'm trying to learn how to use it and i was excited to see that yours is practically identical to it!!
Love your work it reminds me of the woodberry style that H. House did. I was looking for videos to inspire me to get back to the shop and I hit pay dirt with yours:) Thank you
Thank you Thomas!
Reading that some people cant use a coal forge because they dont have electricity in their shop........ Which generates questions 🤔
Also can you pour Brass instead of pewter, or would you just burn your handles, cheers thanks
The brass melts at a much higher temperature so it would be too hot to pour onto the handle
Gooday mate I like your style, could you show more on the final stages of the blade, filling and sharpening, cheers and thanks
Love your videos!
Well done!
Nice work
Glad to see you back
Excellent video. Can see the effects of the hammering easily.
I've watched this more than once & it's always interesting........keep 'em coming!
thanks mate
A nice knife mate ,like your style
I love it. what a great job. I am just getting started forging myself and I love watching your videos. You keep saying "I dont wanna bore you", but actually the more I see of the process, the more it helps me understand how to do it. Keep 'em coming.
Thank you !!
Beautiful blade
You are the first person that I’ve seen draw a knife out by hand with no grinders or power hammers or any other power tools. Love it.
Thank you Shawn.
*WTF are you armed? Roving gangs of tomahawk thieves?* 😅😂🙄
Yes I am always armed. It’s like my my pocket knife. It goes where I go.
@@oldsouthforge831 *I feel sorry for anyone that lives in a place where they feel like they need to be continually armed...I can't imagine living so paranoid* *I can't imagine being that afraid all the time*
@@Fireworxs2012 yeah that’s funny that’s pretty good. Where do you live?
@@Fireworxs2012 I would hate to know that I lived in a place where I did not have the right to have a gun. I am assuming you probably do live in an anti gun country or state from your comment.
@@oldsouthforge831 *Wrong. I live smack dab in the Middle of West Nebraska. We have more guns here than people and I probably own more guns than you do. I taught Hunter Safety for the State of Nebraska for almost 20 years. I've shot competitively at many levels, including National Match Palma, (I loaded and reloaded match ammo for the team for more than a few years). (173 grain BTHP) I've been involved in all facets of the shooting sports, including the hunting & self-defense training and safe handling almost all my life. I have literally taught thousands of kids & young adults how to safely and effectively handle firearms. I cancelled my NRA Membership several years ago, because I refuse to support a corrupt organization that employs screwballs like Ted Nugent & grifters like Wayne La Pierre. Not to mention the Russian Mob money they've been laundering..I've never carried concealed or open carried unless I was hunting, or at the range.. It's people like you marching around with your little guns on display or hidden in your jacket pocket, that give the rest of Us good gun owners a bad name. Unless you live in the middle of South Chicago or St. Louis, "after dark", It's retarded, elitist, dangerous and stupid.*
Tjis cam also be called a boarding axe
You really need a patreon so we can donate
I really do need one. It would be very helpful to get more videos out and help with operations cost.
Your style is iconic. I haven’t seen knives done like this. It’s your fingerprint and they are fantastic
Thank you so much for that compliment!
