Great o see you still resurrecting the trash pile Tim ! A bucket of Evapo-Rust would serve you well. Works great !You remind me of being in my gramp's Smithy. Only a coal forge with no power or lights, hammers all over the walls in racks and a blower soooo very much like yours. Sure brings back some wonderful memories. He would have been in 7th heaven in your shop ! That is a piece I would be proud to have in my kitchen my friend !
So nice listening to you explain the process. Such a contrast to people on TH-cam screaming for attention. Nice....you are indeed a craftsman my friend.
Nicely done, Sir! I just came in from my forge, having fought a series of much simpler forge welds, and here you are forge welding wrought iron! Boy, do I have a lot to learn!
I assumed there was pretty much no chance of that happening as soon as he started. Nice thought, but no feasible way to work them down that thin while also setting forge welds and still have them there.
I love watching you work....my Dad was a smith and as a boy I used to help him. I was always intrigued by the process and this brings back memories. Very relaxing to view....thanks.
@bBgDog from Moondog, I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with the rest of the world. I learn something new from every one of your videos. From my limited knowledge I don't think any of those inclusions compromise the integrity of the blade, but they certainly give it character! I would be proud of that cleaver if I had made it. I have a way to go on my learning experience before I make an item like this, but hope that someday I will be the proud owner of a handforged cleaver for my kitchen. The fact that you re-used an old tool at the end of it's life and gave it a new use for many years to come is admirable.
It’s cool to know you’re local. I had no idea Puyallup had a flea market, & I lived there for quite a while. Of course, that was 20 years ago, so maybe it’s a newer thing. I’ll have to check it out. Been looking for a source for used tools. Great video! Learned a bunch. Beautiful end result.
The cleaver turned out nice, yeah to bad about the inclusions it happens. Still a nice looking little cleaver. Take care buddy love your shop. Have a great blessed day sir.
beautiful cleaver, as always you did a great job and i love the idea of recyling old tools. Yesterday i made my first piece of motorcycle chain damascus inspired by you, i watched your video twice it was a great help, i ended up with a six inch billet that was perfect first try..... beginners luck? I just want to say thank you for posting these videos they are highly informational and are an inspiration to people like me.
very rustic, old world w/ loads of character.. I got several $20 samurai swords which were hilarious, one bent like taffy when I slapped it against something (cut in half for two knife blades). Advertised as full tang, but had flimsy piece of threaded strip of metal (literally....not proper rod, but a scrap of metal). Another had plastic shipping strap packed into where the full tang should've been, but that one has a pretty good stainless blade that I've used harshly, put through many plastic water jug slicing tests. I welded strip on to make it full tang which drastically increased weight, then fill the huge plastic 'dragon motif' handle with Elmer's glue all Max ($10/eight ounces) which is awesome foaming polymer glue that filled it up entirely: that sword is tough as nails now.
Big dog, I love all your videos but I gotta say, your build on the surface grinder is my favorite! Any time I get to see you use in on your projects since is always incredibly impressive! I'm in the process of a making a cleaver myself but I shoulda built a grinder like yours beforehand lol. Keep em Comin '!
Very cool 1 of a kind piece. Love the imperfected look as long as it's a stable and useful blade....I would love a blade like that...keep up the good work
Great job on the meat cleaver, I am in the process of beginning stages of learning the trade and will be starting to build my propane forge this weekend, thanks for the video I very much enjoyed the process and tooling you have to make the job a bit easyer!,
You might next time when forge welding try using ss hose clamps you won't need to worry about those mig welds in your pattern. Just a thought For you to try. Very nice cleaver by the way!
Really enjoy your videos Question from a newbie If you quench a blade and need to re quench for any reason, if you normalize a few times before the re quench have you eliminated the stress from the first quench?
Love your narrations ...cut , dried, plain and simple.

Nice....you are indeed a craftsman my friend.
beautiful job, very nice to see the old tools come together into something new
Very nice. The handle is really nice and old looking. The blade has its own character.
Well edited videos with no elevator music. You keep it moving along with good voice overs.
The voice overs are great!
Ausgezeichnet!
Ein Beil mit dem "haben-wollen-Effekt"! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I think it's beautiful!!! Outstanding kitchen chopper!❤❤
Thanks so much
Great video and some lucky person is getting an awesome gift
I love your videos. I learn a lot from watching them. Thanks a ton and keep it up! Thanks
Thank you very much for sharing your Time and Experience. I enjoyed it very much! 👍
Nicely done, Sir! I just came in from my forge, having fought a series of much simpler forge welds, and here you are forge welding wrought iron! Boy, do I have a lot to learn!
I love the low layer count,it looks so amazing!
The cleaver turned out awesome Tim!! I really like that you give old tools a second chance at something else. Thanks for another great video.
Just had to rewatch, Your grinder seems very useful and always lots of teaching from you Sir
Thanks
So nice of you
Very cool build. Thanks for sharing
Dang,that handle looks mighty fine!

Nice Job Tim! Slight imperfections is what gives it character, gives it that handmade look! Keep it up, you're doing great!
I hate seeing one of those old wrenches go, but damn you did a great job with it. That little guy is awesome.
I was hoping for some of the threads to survive on the spine but like Big Dog said that was never really likely.
I assumed there was pretty much no chance of that happening as soon as he started. Nice thought, but no feasible way to work them down that thin while also setting forge welds and still have them there.
Sunshine video ads always Tim! Love the work you do. I just wish I could be part of your Saturday live more often.
Always a pleasure watching.
Thank you and happy new year.
I totally love that clever it has alot of personality Tim!!! I thought it was a great project and you did an awesome job pulling it off!!!
The indoor and outdoor junk pile is not weird, it is a very good idea.
I love your welding clamp.
That was great another step in watching and learning from a good example.
Now I like that one!, excellent job as usual Tim👍
Awesome video. Really enjoyable. Great chopper!
Great job,its got a lot of character !
I love watching you work....my Dad was a smith and as a boy I used to help him. I was always intrigued by the process and this brings back memories. Very relaxing to view....thanks.
Awesome work. Thanks for sharing
Tim, I don't think I've ever commented on one of your videos, but I really like your style.
Made the mistake of watching this with my wife. Guess what's next on my honey due list! Love the cleaver
Great little build. I love that copper. Those marks are character, not imperfections. Awesome video. I wish I could subscribe more than once.

Looks great, nothing wrong with that blade or the way it looks. Great save on that old material.
wonderful craftsmanship. great stuff here!!!
If you don’t think it makes the grade I will happily take it off your hands! Really looks cool! Thanks for producing videos!
How you can hammer so fast and talk at the same time is amazing, your hands are a blurr...who needs machines....great job man

Awesome, thank you!
Absolutely awesome. Would love to be able to make things like this but I’d buy that all day long. Love it
I REALLY LIKE THE WAY IT LOOKS
Nice! I'd have to add that nice little chopper in my hunting bag. A daily carry cleaver.
A fantastic job!
That was really great job. Love watching you create your own masterpiece each time.
Looks great Tim!
Always a pleasure and an education.
Thats one of the best designs I've seen
The wright family beat me to it. That thing is beautiful.
Beautiful little clever Tim.
As a chef I really appreciate a great knife and that one is a great knife.
Not a chef but love to cook cant stand a knife that cant hold an edge .
Love the high grade wrought iron, and med carbon steel mix... It made for a blade with much character.
Really fine work, Tim.
I like this it gives it more of a hand made feel with the inclusions in the blade
Great job Tim !
Favorite forging guy on YT !!
now those tools can be used for 100 years more!!!
Very nice, flaws is what gives it character, WTG...👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks 👍
Very cool 1 of a kind piece. Love the imperfected look as long as it's a stable and useful blade....I would love a blade like that...keep up the good work

Question from a newbie
If you quench a blade and need to re quench for any reason, if you normalize a few times before the re quench have you eliminated the stress from the first quench?
Yes and it will reduce the grain structure.
Thanks for watching
Very nice Tim see ya sunday
