Holy shit man fix that bandsaw! Gave me chills
This is a cheap convertible band saw, so doesn't do vertical perfectly. I have an adapter kit for it but no room for it once it is off the standard base. Gets the job done until I have a larger shop to work in
the drill press frightened me, but for real, those shaky hands using power tools is the scariest part of all!
I was wincing my eyes during that part haha
Turn out beautiful. But yeah, I'm worried about your bandsaw
Metal cutting bandsaw with a free hanging motor, does the job but not what it signed up for, all good
WOW! 😍
cheers from 🇵🇭
Thanks and g'day from 🇦🇺
Gotta admit, I had low expectations at first, but damn did that turn out beautiful and impressive!
Thank you kindly, glad I could impress

Cheers mate, practice is all it takes
Cool!
Thanks Lori, working on some micarta
Very cool
Thank you
Gorgeous
Thanks Jenn
Bellísimo trabajo amigo saludos
Muchas gracias amigo
That bandsaw scared the shit out of me!
Camera angles can be deceiving, that and I have spent a lot of time using it so what seems like a tricky task with dangerous hand position is actually the safest way to use the tool for the job.
You did a fantastic job nevertheless, a good looking blade that turned out to be, keep up the great work. What wood type was that btw?
@@Edwards7084 spalted Blackwood it is a Tasmanian timber.
Really well made knife and video!
Thank You kindly
Heyyy man nice video i was just wondering what kind of glue you use when u put the two pieces of wood together with the knife
G flex Epoxy amzn.to/2LNCY1g this is my go to glue
Bad knufe, cool
Thank you
how long did this take to make (beside the scary way you made it, the blade and handle ended up so Beautifull)
Normally takes me a couple of days start to finish on 1 knife, but they are not full days. nothing scary in how it's done, just lots of practice with my tools.
Is that just a belt grinder for the wood?
No Adjustable speed setting on the belt grinder so it will do both steel at high speed and dial down to to timber at low speeds, I can turn it down even more and do leather on knife sheathes as well.
Wow nice looking knife Darren, Great work
Cheers Brother, Jake giving me work for the trip as usual, 4 for him this time.
What kind of machine did you use to cut the wood ?
Table saw to split blocks to scales and my metal cutting bandsaw to trim the scales to handle shape
Probably need to change the rubber on the bandsaw wheel, a bit of electrical tape would do the job
There is no rubber on the bandsaw wheels, has always been a direct metal to metal connection from new.
What did you use for glue?
This is what I use G flex Epoxy amzn.to/2LNCY1g
Damn, that bandsaw is chugging like it wants to throw a band…lol! Nice wokr
Joys of a muti position band saw, will cut vertical and horizontal but is not great at either, me pushing how much I can twist it in the cut to get around corners doesn't do it any favours either, but it struggles on through.
Thank you
Well that makes sense! Great work regardless and helped me on my first handle.
Whatch out for the drill i Ve Lost One finger like this
I am always careful with all the tools, even if it doesn't look it. I find the the best compromise between speed and safety, fully safe would be clamping it down with 2 clamp or using a fence, by clamping it in place with my hand it is reasonably safe in that it can not build the momentum for a swing around (helicopter) but if the hands are not as callused as mine yes it might give you a tear if it grabs. 30 years as a tradesman working with tools I know what I can get away with with a small risk, that is why all my making videos have a disclaimer that these are for entertainment not education.

What are the materials needed to make a knife? I need a list
Hardenable steel, glue, your choice of handle material and pin material. these are the basics for the material required.
@@DownunderFarmandForge ah ok thanks I will try it some day!
Please tell me if painting is better than oiling? Which one should I choose for my knife handle?
I would not paint on a handle, paints tends to rub the hand and cause blistering with use.
This is what I use to finish the handles th-cam.com/video/sgYA9RaYksI/w-d-xo.html
Sorry , it's not paint but wooden polyurethane.
Which one should I use polyurethane or oil.
@@maxgeorge5376 personally I would go oil or a wax/oil mix over polyurethane. Polyurethane sits on the surface and same issue with hand rub as a paint, plus any scratch then opens a path for moisture, which will go in a surface scratch easily but struggle to get out the same scratch after it works through the wood with capillary action. Oils and wax/oil combos tend to soak through to more depth which means a better protection over time. Stabilised timber which I use for most my handles has less of an issue than a normal piece of timber, but I still apply a finish of polish before sending each knife to the client.
@@DownunderFarmandForge thank you very much for your precious answer, your knowledge utterly helpful .💞
Hi, wondering if you could tell me what kind of drill press and bit you use to make the holes for your handle. additionally, what's the least expensive way to make a good hole in the handle if one can't afford a drill press?
Lol affordable isn’t really the way I do it, drill press is a must but honestly mine is pretty much the cheapest at the hardware store my bits on the other hand are pure carbide drill bits in 1/4 and 1/8 inch, that is the expensive part. Drill press is pretty much a required item as it will keep everything straight, hand drills work but any angle change will wreck the line through the scales and knife. My drill press cost about the same as 2 sets of good scales so worth the money. Cheapest drill Brit’s go masonry drill bits wit carbide tips and use a drill sharpener or if you are good a grinder to put a metal cutting angle on the top, these will get the job done, other options are lots of HSS drill bits, sharpening often, and there are a couple other better bits around as well. Carbide is the best as it will even cut hardened steel. Other than that make sure the steel is annealed, that will help with cutting and make it easier to drill
@@DownunderFarmandForge a very thorough answer, Thank you! I really appreciate the detail. very much excited to subscribe and see what else you have going on.
@@HydraPlz thanks for the subscribe, always happy to answer questions. Not much point me showing people how to do things then not backing it with the details.
The glue is…?
G flex Epoxy amzn.to/2LNCY1g
Hello, what glue did you use? To glue wood together ?
This is my preferred Glue G flex Epoxy amzn.to/2LNCY1g
@@DownunderFarmandForge thank you
What is the name of the metal you use to fit in the wood?
The pins on this one are Copper, 1/4" 6mm hollow to the rear and solid to the front. I just buy them as bar stock.
Is it just me or are your hands shaky? Hope your doing alright
I was suffering fairly badly with thyrotoxicosis while filming a lot of these short videos, so yeah the hands were pretty unsteady at that time. Managed to make it through without grinding myself any more than normal, and thanks to a great doctor and Endocrinologist am almost back to normal Thyroid levels now. Thank you for noticing.
Does the pins even do anything when you don't peen them?
Still blocks lateral movement, doesn’t need to be peened for that. I prefer them un peened as you can apply them at glue up and grind the handle to shape with them in there, also peening pins is about fastest way to split wood with the burl timber I normally use

that poor bandsaw
I’m a little lost with this comment, how is my metal cutting bandsaw suffering from cutting timber🤷♂️
@@DownunderFarmandForge it just sounds sad
@@humanbeanchikin cheers, it screams a little but one heck of a little machine
How are the shorts working for you?
Trying to keep them in line with my content more now and reasonably well, harder to catch attention and hold it in the shorter time as the people that generally watch them are after quick fulfillment
@@DownunderFarmandForge Very true. The challenge of making one in less than a minute.
@@DownunderFarmandForge you could offer a link in the short to a full length video.
@@johncxvii12 hey John I don’t have the full length on this knife done yet. Because they are so short trying not to clutter the shorts. Here is another handle that is just wood with no bolster. How to make a knife handle with wood

Рукоять можно было сделать красивее!
Как бы вы это сделали?
@@DownunderFarmandForge не могу выложить фотографии своих ножей!
@@ПавелЗимин-ь8ю Этот дизайн основан на некоторых отличных ножах и хорошо лежит в руке. Во что бы то ни стало, напишите мне, если хотите.
@@DownunderFarmandForge я делал ножи на заказ точно по форме руки заказчика делал рукояти,использовал дерево венге,мирбау, макоре ,махагони,Касипа,платан,белый клён,делал форму рукояти чтобы показать всю красоту структуры древисины!
@@ПавелЗимин-ь8ю Большинство моих ножей изготавливаются по индивидуальному заказу, чтобы соответствовать руке каждого человека, иногда я получаю такой заказ, где кто-то должен дать 3 ножа другим людям, которых я не знаю, поэтому я не могу спроектировать их руку. Но я всегда получаю комплименты независимо от того, предназначены ли они для одного человека или нет, о том, как мои ножи подходят к руке. После сотен ножей у меня ни разу не было жалоб на подгонку руки, так как я трачу много времени на правильную форму рукояти, независимо от того, в каком стиле она сделана. Некоторые стили, подобные этому, я бы не стал делать для себя, но они соответствуют дизайну ножа, но все стили рукояти должны хорошо подходить для руки для работы, для которой предназначен нож.
н да.
Хвала вам
