Oh yes I am looking forward to see this work. Dont forget the Neckknife...,......... Best wishes from Germany. Stay save
I have that one small knife almost ready to go, just needs a sheath, waiting on materials.
Thanks for watching and commenting Sven!
@@FabbinAdventures Oh i am so exited. Your Videos are a - must watch!!!!!
"...we got the ring lathed out..." It's funny when trades overlap and the lingo gets cross polinated. Nice build, though.
Glad i was able to entertain you!

Hi Ron,
thanks for sharing the build process of your heat treat oven. I started making knifes and it's a great hobby and very relaxing. Even tough I don't think that I'll do stainless knifes I'm thinking of building an heat treat oven because right now I just have a litte two firebrick furnace. Also I need a project to start welding (cored wire).
If you could start all over again with your build, would you change anything? Thicker insulation, more power, bigger/smaller chamber?
One characteristic feature of your build is the guillotine door. That's great and you don't have to be scared of touching the hot internal surface of the door while putting a blade in or out. Is the weight of the door sufficient to seal the oven? Or would a additional weight or a locking mechanism be beneficial?
Greetings from Germany!
Hi there, thanks for your comment, bout the only thing id do different is give it a little more power, and make the area for the electronics bigger and further away from the heat source, possibly double the insulation between the oven and electronics as it gets warm enough to melt some of the components. I added a layer of kaowool a d put in some computer fans and that solved the problem!
Hello there, Thanks for this video! It gives me a great idea on my current project, I do blade smithing as well and I'm attempting to make a tempering tank. I'm planning to use oil and soak my blades in it, But I'm not Quite sure if the heating unit i have will be Strong enough to keep a consistent temp for various steels, Do you have any ideas on what i can do?
Thanks for commenting on my video.
It depends on the type of heating element you use, it doesnt take much.
@@FabbinAdventuresAwesome, The Unit I purchased only has a Somewhat Small heating element Maybe Around 1" Wide It does state that it can hit temperatures of 300-700 degrees With a Variance of 10 degrees Fahrenheit. I do plan to stir the oil a little to try and keep the temperature even all the way through, I will let you know if it actually Works out Thanks for the Reply!
Yeah that should probably work, i stir the oil to make sure its even temp through out.
How long does you kiln take to get to 1500c
Ive never timed it, i suppose i should some time
Just a thought for your bricks. The bricks that you buy seem to be too conductive of heat, and here is a video on how and why to make your own refractory bricks that are better for insulation and easily/cheaply replaceable: th-cam.com/video/NjKL-HZJq1Y/w-d-xo.html
Wow thats pretty cool, i havent seen anything like that yet.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
