I've met a lot of metal smiths who say they are a mastersmith.
I've also met a lot of woodworkers who say they are master craftsmen.
But for all the fishermen I've met, not one admits to being a master baiter.
Choked on my chips, thanks lol
This one is going in my toolkit 😂
My builds don't have mistakes; they have features that I didn't start with.
I flinched when the drill bit skipped and chipped… you can fix that 😎👍
Hey man, been a real fan of yours since well before the power hammer fiasco.
You’re a bit younger than me, so I hope you don’t take it poorly that I say that I’m proud of you.
You’re doing what you love… cool.
You’re trying everyday to get better… awesome.
I first “met” you through Alec’s TH-cam -‘d I can tell ya, your story post Alec has been absolutely fantastic.
It’s almost like I’m getting a deeper spinoff of a show I loved in the first place.
Keep it up, bud!
✝️
Bro, well said. Love you Will.
It's been so exciting watching you on your journey to becoming a Master Smith. Afterwards will you take the next step and train to be an Agent Smith?
"Just a scooch" took on a whole new meaning.
I love your videos generally, but this type of series is my favorite. The deep passion and artistry really shines through!!
Will: *has trouble squaring up the guard for most of the video*
Also Will: *owns a mill*
Brilliant! Hard earned fun to be remembered forever
So many squaring that i thought there was gonna be a second sponsor
Cap transition idea.
Great presentation!! Very informative!! Been fun watching your development!! Thanks for all the info you share!!!
The knife is coming along great! I love how you explained how and why you do everything you do. I learned a lot with you I’ve the past few years on TH-cam. Keep up the amazing content!
So fun to watch. Lovely work as always.
Very nice repair on the knife, well done. On the milling of the slot, why you now have a new feature to deal with, yes better end support
But you were climb milling as you came across the slot, this will always want to pull the work into the cutter. If you had not come across the slot in that direction you would have been fine (coventional milling). Thank you for sharing Will.
I think I can hear Alec screaming from the uk about the red dykem
You said square so many times, I knew a square space segway had to be coming…never thought I’d be disappointed by the lack of an ad. Looks awesome! I’m sure you’ll ace the test!
Looking forward to seeing the finished blade, thanks for sharing your talent.
It's a roller coaster of emotions watching you make this dang thing! It's gonna look sweet
Always great to watch your videos.
I’ve been watching and waiting with anticipation for you to become a master smith since you started your journeyman testing. All that said this blade it absolutely gorgeous! My goal is to one day be able to afford some of your absolutely spectacular blades for my kitchen and a daily carry. Much love and respect to you and your craft
Thanks Will. 😁👍🏼
I know its going to look amazing in the end but my heart skipped a beat when you drilled through the blade ... I was like noooo it looks so good 😅
It sucks when those gotcha's crop up. but then that's what it's all about. Figuring out creative ways to fix them so no one that hasn't watched the videos will even know they happened in the first place. Hang in there Will. Stay safe and healthy young sir.
Your precision always amazes me
Hey one question, isnt it bad if there are like the hard 90 degree corners in the area between the integral guard and the blade? I thought those are like stressrisers which could initiate cracking during use. Or is it just done like this on that particular knife since it is a show piece?
I think you've got it exactly right, it'll be plenty strong for being mainly a showpiece. I think the bigger strength issue would be drilling holes in the blade haha.
Great content thanks for sharing
Your humility section of the knife
always look forward to a new video.
You are awesome, brother! I learned something new from you again. Thank you for the tip about removing forge scale.
Muriatic is nasty stuff. The fumes will rust everything in your shop. Be smart.
You are absolutely right!!! I make my own feric chloride, and it is a nasty process. Thank you. Stay safe too, brother!!!!
Awesome project! Boy you really dodged a bullet with that end mill. If it had snapped lower down you would have a big problem right now. Some-one was looking out for you!
Heh... I'm not sure i've seen someone forge weld with an oxy torch before. That was interesting to watch. Good video Will. Really looking forward to watching this, and the rest of your presentation blades 😁
Have you ever thought of doing an Esau copper knife? You make the Lord's heart happy.
Its interesting seeing more knifemakers turning towards machining to get things as perfect as possible but i also think there should be a stipulation in the mastersmith testing that a knife me be done with your more basic tools. Like hammer, anvil, files, belt grinder, and drill press.
The most important lesson becoming a master bladesmith must be not stabbing yourself!
Note the amount of tries it took for Will to represent his sponsor by the amount of cuts in his posture, that’s A for effort.
Should you preheat the horn of the anvil when you are trying to fix that small forge weld?
You are doing great 👍 just keep up the good work. Do all thing’s unto the lord. I like the longer videos and by the way, how’s your truck doing?
Bummer on the end mill, but minor flaw, you've got this.
Usually when i see holes in knives i get an instant "ew, mall ninja" vibe.
I think this is going to be an exception.
REALLY liked the longer video, more progress, knife is coming along great.!!
Damn it Will your a blacksmith not a preacher... Or was it Damn it Jim I'm a Dr not a bricklayer? TFS, GB :)
Missed opportunity. The sponsor should have been SquareSpace for the amount of times you said square. Everytime just waiting for you to say 'Thats funny cause today's sponsor is SquareSpace'. Love your videos Will. Your videos remind me of Alex back in the day and why I fell in love with blacksmithing and metal work youtube. Keep the faith, He is faithful.
Here's a quick hack, Use a jumbo sharpie for marking layout lines in.
Interesting...Liong Mah's budgie brand is called Eutektik...i didn't know that was based on an actual word haha...
Guys, the Muriatic Acid, go get it
It can't be easy trying to get the top of that guard perfect.
When it slipped milling the slot I winced.
Will i wish you would do some reading on better help. They are not good people. They dont provide half of what they promise, they are in legal trouble for releasing customers information. They cant even give you a prescription because they dont have real therapist credentials
11:19 I look away for a split second and when I look back and have a small moment of panic as i think the layout fluid is blood. 😬
So heres a question Will, wouldn't leaving a hard squared transition from the ricasso into the integral bolster create a stress riser, especially with the cracks you noticed in your finger guard? Or is there another way youre mitigating, or due to the heat treat and mass of the parts not as worried for a showpiece?
2:48 a bug just ran across will face?
What brand safety glasses are the ones in this video?? Thanks
That endmill snapping was unfortunate. Have to be careful with those smaller ones. They are not very strong.
That flux is probably like tinning flux in plumbing.
Thanks, Will...one comment. I wish the videos were longer. 😂
👍
‘Did you know the file is the only tool that can make a copy of itself?
👍👍👍
Quick question will (great name btw🤣🤣) have you used that flux in your forge, and if you have does it do any damage to it?
Will, are finding it an extra level of difficulty to make a mastersmith level knife while talking to a camera to make content?
Don't you NOT want perfect 90 degree angles where the blade meets the guard? for strength?
Did anyone else see the little black thing fly across his face at 2:47?
Shame Squarespace wasn’t the sponsor… square square square
👏👏👏👏👏🤜🤛
What happened with the truck?
can it really a "mastersmith" blade if u have to fix it because something went wrong in the steel making process ?
dont get me wrong i like watching ur videos im just curious
🏴☠
willy my boy i hope u know the conterovercies that surround betterhelp I know they pay you and I really hope u do ur research on them my boy if u take this comment down I'm ok just yk be careful love u my guy
👍🌞💪👍.
We need another Alec collab….
7:23 ASMR short right there!
Everytime you say square im waiting tor the cringey segway into this weeks sponsor.
By all means, get any sponsors you can. You certainly deserve to be paid for the entertainment you offer. I just found it funny.
We want to watch you drop and ruin another power hammer. Side question, how many actual successful projects did you have working for Alec?
Quit taking better help sponsorships. They're borderline incapable of not doing shady crap.
SLAP COUNT = 0
Please put a handle on your files 😢 wouldn’t want it slipping into your wrist damaging a load of your main arteries.
first like
Did you buy the flux from Jesus?
Stop punching stuff ....
Do you need Better Help if got Jesus?
Proverbs 13:22. If they want to pay him let them.
Betterhelp aint good
Agreed. But you’re not really helping the homie will out with the advertisement money.
I am not talking from experience here but if you need help from someone what would you be expecting? Nothing is going to automatically make you better its just the truth.
It can be difficult to find right therapist but don’t bash it since it didn’t work for you
@anthonyszwarc8599 they're also in some legal trouble over keeping patient data safe. But hey, everyone should know not to buy anything advertised on TH-cam and I don't mind creators I like continuing to take their money.
They give our boy Will money. I dont care if they are cartel or dictators or even pharmaceutical manufacturers, The Stelter has things to be about.
Jesus had no part in fixing it fyi
How would you know you weren’t even there
BetterHelps not good
Stop shilling for better help
Better help is dodgy as heck. I understand you want sponsors, but please watch out for these guys
BetterHelp doesn’t help
I stopped watching Steele because he has become too ocd for me. At this 4 minute mark he'd still be talking about what he was going to do.
Better help is terrible
Better help is a trash sponsorship
@John_Malecki has new shop shades on pre-order that look sweet, much better imo than those that you have on
that scootch was a bit painful to watch. glad to know its not deep enough that i'll come out in the finished blade.
Pretty sure Will made 90% of these explanations up, just to have more drama for his video.
