    I really like your videos, your craftsmanship is great!
    I also love your humour and your natural way of being!
    For marking center on your blocks you may lay them flat on each side and mark with some kind of high gage, at least this is the way I mark center and it works pretty good for me!
    Thanks make for taking on your time to produce great content!

      I really appreciate you. Thanks for the kind words. This is exactly how I mark the center on my edge. I don’t like the little centering jigs a lot of people use, mainly because they will follow any wobbles that may be in the material.

    Another good one. This one inspired me to step up my tang game. I always leave mine pretty ugly after forging, yours are nice and clean and symmetrical. Also gonna give brazing a try, I usually mig my through tang together and it isn’t pretty

    • @Hathenbrucksteelworks
      @Hathenbrucksteelworks  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hahaha. I feel mine are pretty ugly. Although, I do need them to point in the right direction when doing wa handles. Brazing is the way to go, in my opinion. It’s hard to MIG a tiny threaded rod to a bulky tang without burning through something.

      @@Hathenbrucksteelworks exactly, that’s why I haven’t really cared. They’re the ugliest for me when I use my Damascus, I’ll forge the tang from the squished part we’re supposed to cut off in restacks. Weld flaws and all, I figured it’s lots of surface area for epoxy to grab. But… I think I might clean them up, certainly will make for a snugger fit up when slotting.

    You have some of the best videos on knife making, hands down. Your techniques and results speak for themselves. I do have a question, did you stop selling your stabilized wood?

      Thanks a ton for this comment. I appreciate you! I’ll eventually start selling it again, but I just haven’t made any in a few years. I’m running out of good colors, so it might be time to start up again.

    I seriously think you are the best knifemaker/bladesmith on TH-cam, nothing but amazing content. VERY well shot as well... What focal length do you use?

      Wow! What a great compliment. Thank you!!
      Most everything is shot with my 24-70mm and I’m typically between 50 and 70mm. When I do welding shots or something I want to keep my camera safe from, I’ll throw on my 35-150mm or 150-500mm.

    Hola le di el 26👍, buen trabajo, una pregunta¿ como mantener el brillo del acero al carbono? Muchas gracias

    • @Hathenbrucksteelworks
      @Hathenbrucksteelworks  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Muchas gracias. En mi opinión, la pátina es una de las mejores partes del acero al carbono. Mantengo el mío engrasado, pero tan pronto como cortes la comida ácida, se va a patinar. No estoy seguro de si hay alguna manera de mantenerlo brillante para siempre.

    I really like all of your videos. I don’t have a mean comment off the top of my head so I’ll leave the real one lol.
    I do have a question though. Every time I try to do a San mai I struggle keeping the core steel. I start to grind and then bam back into jacket. Do you have any tips? Thank you for all you do.

    • @Hathenbrucksteelworks
      @Hathenbrucksteelworks  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hahaha. Well I appreciate it.
      So, for San mai, I’m not sure if I have any amazing tips other than practice. It can be hard to keep the core right in the middle. When you’re forging it out, make sure to smash it evenly on both sides. Don’t assume that if you smash one side, the other side with thin down at the same rate, because for me, it never does. Also, when grinding the material, clean up the edge and spine then etch it so you can keep an eye on where the core is. That way you can grind down one side to push the core more toward the center.
      I guess I know what one of my next videos should be 😁

    Are you running the little machine shop mini? That’s the reroute I was gonna go but if the DRO sucks I might look elsewhere

    • @Hathenbrucksteelworks
      @Hathenbrucksteelworks  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I am, yeah. I’ve had nothing but issues with the DRO. It works one day, then it doesn’t work the next. The mill itself works just fine for small work. If I was to do it over, I’d go with the Precision Matthews.
