Exquisite Pen Knife from Scrap Copper: Hand Engraving and Woodwork Perfection

🔴Welcome to my channel! In this video, I'll take you through the step-by-step process of transforming a scrap copper rod into an exquisite and functional pen knife. This unique DIY project showcases a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern techniques, including hand engraving, woodworking, and metalworking.
*Materials and Tools Used:*
- Scrap Copper Rod
- Hand Push Graver
- Copper Sheet
- Stainless Steel Bolt
- DW40 Spray
- Epoxy Glue
- Sandpapers (various grits)
- Broken Graver Handle (for the wooden handle)
*Process Breakdown:*
1. *Filing and Shaping the Rod:*
- I started by filing the scrap copper rod horizontally to shape it properly.
- After achieving the desired shape, I drew the blade pattern onto the rod.
2. *Carving the Blade:*
- Using a hand push graver, I meticulously carved the blade pattern into the copper rod.
- Once the blade slot was ready, I moved on to creating the lid.
3. *Making the Lid:*
- I cut a rectangle from a copper sheet and shaped it with a file.
- A hole was then made on the lid, which I used to mark the corresponding spot on the copper rod.
- I drilled a hole into the rod and threaded it using a stainless steel bolt, lubricated with DW40 spray to ease the process.
4. *Finishing Touches:*
- All parts were sanded to achieve a fine and mirror-like finish.
- I prepared the handle by repurposing the handle from my broken graver.
- A 12mm hole was drilled into the wooden handle, where the copper rod was secured using epoxy glue.
5. *Branding and Assembly:*
- For a personal touch, I cut a circular piece of copper and engraved my logo onto it, then attached it to the wooden handle with epoxy glue.
- Finally, the blade was inserted, the lid was secured with a bolt, and the pen knife was ready for use.
This project not only showcases the transformation of a seemingly useless piece of scrap into a beautiful and functional tool but also highlights the importance of precision and attention to detail in craftsmanship.

Ещё один любитель потратить часы работы и получить простейший копеечный инструмент.... Ты наверное и гвозди в зеркало поллируеше перед тем как ящик из досок сколотить 😂😂😂😂

[@BSIinventor101]

thanks so much

[@denisq937]

Конструкция не продумана соосности нет крепление лезвия недостаточно жёсткое крепежный болт мешает нормальному хвату но кого это волнует? Главное чтоб красиво смотрелось и побольше пафоса присутствовало... Нужно было ещё стразиков на ручку приклеить и неважно что мозоли будут главное как блестеть начнёт 😂😂😂😂
