    Thanks for this. I appreciate the time and explanations as you progress. And the pace was really good. A lot of videos are rushed to just get out content. I really liked the details on the "hows" and "whys" of what you do. Looking forward to part 2! Oh and the history! We definitely need more on your great grandfather!

    Bro. You have a furnace kiln right there beside the press. And you're heat treating in your forge? This is why you're my favorite bladesmith on TH-cam.

    The “Little bites” philosophy applies to hand tool woodworking as well. I call them “sharks teeth”. Its more for material removal.

    @plectrumura 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Can't wait to see this completed. I made a Damascus san mai nakiri earlier this year, where I got everything all welded and got it drawn out, then did stock removal to actually make the knife (I wanted it ultra-thin and didn't trust myself to keep the 1095 centered if the thickest part of my material was

  • @cultivationplus6719
    @cultivationplus6719 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Neil makes me want to pick up the hammer again in some type of way. Last 100 knives ive done have been pretty much stock removal cause its tedious and bevels are much harder to do freehand with. Its a giod challenge but forge is bare roots. Love it

    Im a little upset. i haven't got any of the notifications or seen these new (to me) video series. But im also expected because i now have hours of great content to study.
    Your chief knife series helped me out so much with my technique. Keep crushing brother

  • @latemcire8387
    @latemcire8387 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Fixing warping blades makes me think of fixing warps or oil canning in sheet metal/body work. Seams like the same principle of warping caused by stretched metal and needing to be shrunk.

  • @johneriksen5504
    @johneriksen5504 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Is it master or professor? Artist with metal, heat, and hammer. All the other knife forging channels I see grind rather than take the time to shape with the hammer. Don’t make knives, but cutting a lot of onions for canning lately and I have experienced your comment about the importance of the knife tip. 😂

    I am impressed how thin you got that 1 inch round. I like working rounds and dont have any form of power hammer or press...so it takes me a couple hours to do it by hand. also going to have to modify my hammering techniques a bit again as I learned from you thank you.

    There are blacksmiths. A subset is the bladesmith (aka a blacksmith that forges blades). A knife maker can make a blade without smithing.

    We live in an incredible time where TH-cam is full of fabulous content for the amateur blacksmith and knife maker.
    There is something about your personality and humanity that I can't quite put my finger on that makes you head and shoulders above the rest of a very fine field.
    I like the fact that we can get your bladesmithing prescriptions without a subscription.

    • @dummbobqqqqq
      @dummbobqqqqq 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      He is humble, honest and reflective. He had a very hard childhood from what I can tell, there is a video about it on TH-cam. Still he came out "forged" as a masterpiece 😌

  • @brothermaleuspraetor9505
    @brothermaleuspraetor9505 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    This is a very generous Blacksmith. I learned so much textbook stuff watching this than I have ever learned from all other videos combined. Also, I'm learning old-school, which is the pure smithing ways. Forge a knife, don't forge a f**ing billet just to cut a knife shape out of it after whacking it a few times to just thin it out... This guy is doing it right. The BEST way to learn.
    Thank you, Neil. I really appreciate what you've done and continue to do. Many will go on to forge the right way thanks to the generosity of your teachings.

    ...dude, thank you for the post, always absolutely appreciated.
    (...there are so many reasons I'm glad that your channel "popped up" in my "feed". Forging, blacksmithing, actually working with a forge is one of the things that I'm hoping that I'll be able to find/make my way to one of these days, years, decades... and so once again, thank you for the posts of prayers of simplicity.,...
    Once again, absolutely appreciated.)

    Great video, I really appreciate the long format instructional videos plus the banter keeps me laughing. I learn something every time I watch one of your videos. The fact that you do these and aren’t begging people to pay you money (like some other well known smiths) shows that you care about the craft and the people. I will always watch unless you make me get a prescription 😂😂😂

    This is a FORGED IN FIRE CHAMPION, PAY ATTENTION and learn something. His "shop" back then was his back yard. He's been growing.
    Totally agree with you about the flat dyes drawing out the billet. Here's an idea i got from another F.I.F
    Champ: Elijah from Firecreek, he drilled holes in the edge and filled them with roller bearings, well, it kinda worked for what he was trying, but, mild steel was still between the roller bearings and ended up on the edge of the blade. I propose, an artistic approach, drill on the flat, specifically sized and placed holes, filled with different carbin content steel for different shades of grey, make a pixelary/dot matrix "photo" in the side of the blade. I think you could accomplish this, can't be much more time consuming than some of these mosaic patterns out there.

    Working on a knife handle well watching this, it's Nice to see i am not the only one who loves my little Atlus Anvil the great thing about them is they are steel and New when you get them. I have one from their first run only thing I dont like is that they did not do full bolt holes. And eventually, it came lose...solved that problem by just wire wrapping the bolts so they stay tight.
    Side not the correct term for what you do when you make a tang, is forge a shoulder into the steel.
