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.

👍

Can't hear you, volume is 75% lower than everyone else's videos

I have absolutely ZERO interest in buying steel. I live in Midtown Manhattan-no workshop, but yet I watched the entire video, It wasn't for the steel, but rather to admire a serious professional American. The type of American I looked up to when I was growing up outside the US, but sadly disappointed when I moved to New York and encountered mainly bullshitters. I knew they were still around--just not on the East Coast.

Thanks Jason. Been working the metal for many years and learned more stuff

Use the SI system. Much better

Great video, thanks for posting

Thanks. Very informative. Curious though, I buy A36 steel for various projects. What does the A and the 36 stand for. Also, what is AR500 steel?

Wow, that was mind boggling. I had to save your videos for future reference. Thanks!

Fantastic, I don't have anything to do with steel apart from day to day life but your clear and concise description made an interesting video on a subject that has always been at the back of my mind when looking at different uses of steel, thank you, have a good day.

I think we all need to get back to the basic principles of our industries, this is a good start to that. Cheers.

Thanks for the education. Got to say, 1% should be 01, talk about painting yourself into a corner naming convention.

D2 Steel was used to make the heavy stamping dies in automotive factories…pressing panels

As the old saying goes. If you can't blind them with science, baffle them with bullshit. No offence meant to you though Jason. Thanks for the explanation.

Would anvil be s7?

Thank you very much

I've never used or made wood carving tools like this, but I want to learn. Do you have any books you'd recommend to read?

You would have hated older color code system...plus side twenty feet away knew what it was

As a former toolmaker - we used a lot of Bohler's 476 tool-steel - came in black coarse finish - that had to be removed first. It gave off a very definite 'stink' while machining and bright purple shavings - quite unlike anything else.

Called it MOLY BEND UM for over 50 years . Live & learn , mind you I speak English.🍀

Thanks

To figure out what steel I have I always look at the mill report, for example Farm Report; cloudy with a chance of rain Mill Report; Hot and noisy with a chance of being hotter and noisier

I bought a carving Axe with a maple handle and a draw knife last year from Jason The carving axe came with a chip in the blade and the draw knife came with a bent handle, emailed with both of these issues and never got a response back, sorry Jason but the quality of these tools are not on par with the prices you are charging, also the wooden draw knife cover came with a big knot right in the middle filled with putty.

Thank you for making things come into view.

Thanks, have always wondered how it works.
