Hello Harry. Thank you for your extremely clear video instruction; it was exactly what I was looking for. I’ve now subscribed to your very interesting channel. 😊
Hi Ron...I have sold most of my blacksmithing kit, but I still have a little....I really want to focus on the leather work, and of course I will always be doing the greenwood work! Sorry!!
I am the other way around. I sold most of my wood equipment because of a move and am now wanting to try metal just to try to learn something new. Disappointed but I still like your videos, I always learn something. Thanks!!
Enjoyed this simple video, well done Harry! It's a good idea to explore with new ideas! I haven't seen any new videos from you in quiet some time and I'm happy to see you'r keeping well................keep up the good work!
Looks like a Morakniv 106 woodcarving knife. The grind on most of their knives makes them easy to sharpen. Been using wooden beads for lanyard fobs to attach to pocket knives. I'd love to give this a try with some lilac with a bit of purple grain. Would require the pre-drilling iike with the spindlewood. Alternately, one could use tartarian honeysuckle, which naturally has a hollow where the pith would otherwise be.
great video, i'm starting at woodcraft, and jewelery making wery helpful video I love rustic look on everything. Japanese technique of shoshugibon would look great on those :)
Great vid. I see you use a Mora frost knife? I found one in my fathers legacy toolbox. Almost 40 years old. Blunt, do you (or anyone) have a youtube vid on how to sharpen such a knife?

Amazing video! I'm starting a BIG rosary project (like the old school Franciscan rosaries) and this is exactly what I needed! 🥰
Sounds great!
Thanks, now I have some new beads for my dreadlocks 😁
I got a bit addicted to making beads on the lathe but I've never carved any so I'll definitely have a go at that.
Thanks for the assistance. Helpful for a rosary ☦️🙏📿

That's awesome I love the effect of hand making the beads, so lovely and valuable , ....
A great video Harry, i've been told Hazel is a good pithy wood to use too so am going to try that at some point ~Peace~
Zed Outdoors Hi Zed..thanks..I have referred to your excellent channel and film with Martin.All the best Harry.

Great video gonna make my sister a necklace for her birthday really helped a lot
Great project! I made the mistake of buying a Mora knife a few years ago, now I have 23 of them!
Thom Graham Only 23!!!I joke!
Morakniv also makes excellent wood carving tools like a hook/spoon knife for carving bowls and spoons. It’s like $15 on Amazon
Peeled Willow carves really nice , Yes that makes good ideas for projects .
Another good video Harry, looking forward to you doing more blacksmithing.

What you’ve learned here can also help you make wooden buttons!

Looks like a very useful style of knife, I must learn how to make one.

Hi Harry thanks for the video, would it be easy enough to make beads from Bay wood? We've just had a Laurel Nobilis come down in a storm!
Hi Imogen..yes that should work...I know laurels...not heard of bay wood....as long as there is a bit of pith.
thank you! It was very helpful!
i made a few . thanks for showing us how.
How do you keep the bead from splitting after it has dryed ?
Its a small section so should not split if dried slowly.
That knife is the exact same one as i have. I got it for about £20 on amazon. Not a lot of money to get you started.
crazyhorse360 Absolutely..the Moras are great quality and excellent value.
I don't have a yard to dry the beads in. Can you dry them in front of a window?
Yes that would be very good Melissa
Funny. My grampa used to make defiler berry wine while my gram would make the beads
Very interesting. Thank you.
Thank you for this
Yay i made my First one today. 9-9-2019 lol. Yay. 😁
Great!
Great video Harry - very simple and to the point. Perfect.Not sure about the use of leather dye, shocking!
Voodoo Alpaca yes I will try and make the colours even more lurid next time...perhaps like one of your splendid shirts.
