Wow! Make this #1 in a play list followed by "Steel numbering System" 1 & 2... HUGE for beginners into smithing! Your teaching experience shines good sir!

Wonderful followup- thankyou so very much! I will be looking into your website to "return the favour" as it were, spectacularly concise for an amature to understand, love your roots and you have my respect... God Bless & Happy New Year

OUTSTANDING video! Thankyou! Saved for future reference

I always wondered what the difference was. Very well explained. Thank you so much!

Oh come on, you forgot 6160, and 6066.

Do you sale in gallon quantity?

I have Jason’s bevel up and bevel down draw knives. He makes incredibly functional tools. They look good too.

Where are your tools from? Great video, I love that you don't use machines here.

❤❤❤😂😂😂👍👍👍💪💪💪❤️❤️❤️

Very informative presentation. Saving my pennies. Looks like an excellent tool. Thanks for sharing.

TH-cam somehow landed me on several of your videos - which are great! I also watch the battleship New Jersey Museum and Memorial videos. This is probably outside of your wheelhouse, but your explanation techniques are very down to earth and accessible. I think doing a video about armor plate types and chemistry (like from a battleship) would be a really good video. They have similar characteristics to many of the steel variations and alloys you describe. Anyway, awesome videos! 😊

Very Nice Tool Jason!!!

Hi Jason, just saw two of your videos and very much enjoyed watching them. I have the good fortune of purchasing a small carving axe and a adze both made by you! Both the axe and the adze are by far the finest tools I own. I’m very grateful to you for creating such wonderful tools. Many thanks, Ron Ammon.

Wonderful and important information ❤

Could you show how to sharpen the draw knives? Would be much appreciated.

"Wrought" means work. Its old english. That metal was "wrought" or "worked".

Very interesting, and very clearly presented. As someone who knew nothing about adzes before this video I learned a LOT. It was particularly helpful to see " Kuksa" spelled out in your diagram. Thank you!

Excellent. Now, what do you know about aluminum?

Thanks for this. Good 1st time intro.

is he amish or a hipster

The "D" in D-2 steel stands for Die Steel and is still used today for die making punches and shear blade for working other metals in industry. ;<) It is also very popular in the Knife Making World. Another old steel, F-8 was orginally developed for making metal cutting Files. KnifeMaker/Retired after over 47+ years in the Craft

Nice work!

Excellent presentation! That is nearly identical to the lecture lesson I gave for 30 years to my metals classes, and I turned out hundreds of future welders,machinists and mechanics.

These videos are great! Thank you! I wish I was young enough to actually remember all of this but I put these into my favorites. I was wondering when you were gonna get to 4340 because that’s what my SBC crankshaft is. I have a Bridgeport mill and Clausing lathe. I’m a home hobbiest and love it! My mind is everywhere lol. I love learning. I’d like to melt down some cast iron to make a follow rest one day because somehow they lost it. Almost bran new 80’s machine. 12X40 VS-12. It has zero wear luckily. It still has the original belts on it too. I got lucky. I want to learn hardening steel and aluminum. Do you also work with aluminum? I think these kind of videos will do really well

Thank you

Thank you from Ukraine. Before this video I knew of Soviet Union steel marking. Good and simply explanations.

Then what would 440 stainless be? No carbon? ... I understand that this is the crapiest, low quality perfunctory stainless there is... usually used for cheap ornamental pieces - any other uses?

great explanation. thank you

5150 is crazy

Consider me informed. Excellent narration, shame about the bit of echo.

Interesting

I can't wait till I can save up some money and buy several of your tools. I am definitely gonna buy an adze, an axe, sweep gouge and your hook knife. I appreciate your videos.

Thank you, most informative.

I realize this is an older video, but I just found it and I really appreciate you walking through everything in the detail that you did explaining your mindset really helps someone like me to try to understand what you were doing and most importantly why you were doing it

Brings me back to late 70's apprenticeship in Detroit.

Excellent presentation, the other comments say it all. Clear, concise, no crap.

4150? How do I get that? Sounds comparable to the shock resistant S7 and 9260. I would love to make a cold chisel out of that. But yeah! I don't mind using 1095.

Now please give the same lecture on lumber markings 😜👍🍻

🙂🤔🌎

If the last 2 figures refer to the carbon content in 10ths of a percent how come 18 is said to indicate 0.18% shouldn't it be 1.8%?

Thank You

Great job thank you

It's hard ard rd d to o understand derstand stand nd you ou u with the e echo cho o. Horrible acoustics.

Godspeed to you and yours Jason.

Good video ~ very informative.

Nice presentation.

Extremely handy information. Thanks for the video.

saw is good

That's a really excellent axe. I'm sure the rebuilding will happen your area will bounce back.

👍
