    This is how everything should be CRAFTED. This fork will be used for generations.

    I'll be doing this all with a file, a belt sander, and a hacksaw, seeing as I don't have an angle grinder. Thanks for inspiring me!

    Nick:Firstly, I love your channel. You and the Zednaught Alpha have really inspired me to get my hands dirty and express creativity in some amazing ways. Second, I thought I'd recommend making some sort of protective item. You've shown us how to make rebar knives, tongs, arrowheads, and now a fork. I'd love to see a scrap metal buckler or similar item. Thanks, A fan and upcoming craftsman.

    Johnnyred here big fan of your Chanel. So got a challenge build for you. Chop stick cross bow. I was thinking bout using the grove from a tongue &grove piece of wood paneling but u can use what ever. Chop sticks are just such a common thing it be cool to see some thing that can shoot them. Could even be spring powered. Have to figure a weighted arrow tip ,flights so the can fly right. Well give it a pounder.

    Nice. You have potentially saved me $400 if I can make my own. Looking at a set of a nice dinnerware set that is $50 a piece. For $400 I could put that towards a power hammer. 😂

    Fork from rebar: Refork!
    If you really want to make rebar go full circle, make concrete finishing tools from rebar.

  • @KOTEC525
    @KOTEC525 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    so simple, but so cool!!

  • @michaelmichael8406
    @michaelmichael8406 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    That some nice smooth work, both at the forge and with the grinder. Smoothness with simple forms is underrated, but a sign of good control. FWIW, the steel doesn't need to be anywhere near red-hot for the beeswax to melt and form a good finish. Although if you just like the flames, that's cool too. :)

    great job, it looks great. I am amazed at the star-sparks coming off the rebar. You have talked in previous vids about carbon content varying on rebar - well that one looks rather high!

  • @SharpWorks

  • @PhotonChief
    @PhotonChief 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Yes, but can you make a spork? :P I'm curious as to why you didn't cut the tines with a wedge while it was hot, but opted to grind them. Great project, and I love the rustic look.

    My curiosity is for bee wax finish
    Once u use it and wash it then bee wax coating will be gone and rust will come
    What can b a permanent solution to avoid rusting on these forging products ???

  • @eightgeorge

    Man, that's one hell of a Game's of Thrones fork! It can kill. Could you twist the rebar more to make more of an interesting design? Nice one

    I want to see a socketed spear head out of rebar. Like you, I don't have a standard horned anvil. I'd love to see how you make the socket without a horn or step.

  • @ianholmen888

    my question would be though is it actually safe to eat with or is it for more of a decoration/conversation piece purposes.

    • @BackyardBowyer
      @BackyardBowyer  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's a hard question. It's mainly up to you and what you consider safe. That said, I feel safer using rebar than cheap Chinese stainless steel (not to be confused with high-quality products made in China).
      Thanks for watching!
