Hi Mike, Great video. At 8:40 I would have really liked to see you wearing thick leather gloves. If the drill catches, you could get a nasty wack on the fingers or even lose a finger or two.... At 8:50 even though you have used double-sided tape, I think drill one hole, pin, drill 2nd hole, pin, drill 3rd hole is an improvement, to ensure minimum movement. I have never come across stabilizing resin. Nice idea. Thank you for the video, nicely edited.
When you were flatting the tang of your disc sander, you said it heated up. Were you concerned that the heat might change the temper for character of the metal?
Thanks for sharing, I didn't know about stabilizing the wood. I am building a knife and your video was informative. I would however recommend not wearing your rings while working around power tools, wouldn't want you to have to learn the hard way...
When you drill to make the holes bigger can you ruin the knife with it heating up too much from the drilling? I have been trying to drill the holes bigger in a kitchen knife I am repairing but it’s struggling to drill through and starts heating up
@@cheapshotmike1091 I mean, in theory, Possibly. As long as you have a lot of cigar ashes and only use a minimal amount of human shit. Make sure to have the syrup sit out for a while. You want a thick resin consistancy. You can always just use pins and leather bound aswell 🤷♂️
Get resinis bark from sliver birch for example, burn the wood in a bin with a tray under the fire with holes in and you will get a liquid black tar like resin.... it dries solid like resin and just needs boiling to melt before application look it up, Google something like "making resin from tree bark" or someshit. I get your point tho like just use some wood n rivets ffs but the tar stuff is cool to learn about, it's also flammable and water proof when dry so good firelighting source in the woods ;) even the bark alone burn like its soaked in parrafin
Came out nice. You might already know this, so if you do then my apologies. When you sanded the tang and the knife got hot, that's a good way to kill the temper. I didn't see any dipping water, that's why I'm mentioning it. You can tell if there is any color change in the metal, a blueing rainbow effect. Again, if you were already aware of this, then never mind.. :)
Thanks for pointing that out. The tang didn't get really hot. It was just warm enough at that point when holding it with bare hands, that I knew that it would get too hot for me to hold if I tried to complete the other side without letting it cool down first. I did dip it in cold water, but didn't show that on camera.
I was surprised you didn't peen the brass pins, is this just because of the epoxy? I'm making a one handed broad axe with hardwood handles and 1/2" brass pins, no epoxy
The blade was made by Stoic Forge and they refer to it as a camping knife. You can find more information about it on their site here: stoicrings.com/products/the-oquirrh
You actually used a knife steel not a sharpener. All the steel does is straighten out the cutting edge when it is rolled over. With a knife like that, you should probably sharpen with diamond offset mini hones. You could also make your own with wet/dry sandpaper.
Thanks for the explanation. I actually considered using my diamond offset mini hones that I use to sharpen router bits, but I thought the knife steel would work better. I'll give them a try tonight to see what kind of a difference it makes.
Have knife that I used a lot that the handle finally fell apart. Do not have any of these tools. Would you be interested? Just an old serrated bread knife.
Stop stop stop You're killing me Stick with the wood and leave the metal alone!! First off that is a honing steel not a sharpening rod. second off clamp that damn stone down don't let it move Third off put some water on that stone AND last but not least drag it backwards and not forward
This project is a collaboration with STOIC Forge. This knife is called The Oquirrh and you can find it on their site.
@@Javajavajav Thank you so much for your kind words. Happy holidays to you and best wishes for the New Year!
Your videos are looking and sounding so professional!
Thanks, Ellie. I've come a long way since I started, but I still have plenty to learn! Hopefully the videos will continue to get better.
You're always creative, congratulations.
Thank you!

Absolutely love your videos, and your work!
Thank you for sharing your craft with us Mike :-)
Thanks!

I have been trying to drill the holes bigger in a kitchen knife I am repairing but it’s struggling to drill through and starts heating up
Enjoyed the video keep up the good work be blessed
Wouldn’t the edges still not be flat? Easier to grind the edges instead?
GREAT video Mike.
Thank you!
Замечательно!
OMG,,, what did they do 100 years ago without all the epoxy/vacuum resins??????
Right.
I just want to be able to make a nice knife handle without buying a bunch more shit.
Tree resien,deer shit, and charcoal but hey if you have that available to you by all means if not just get the 9$ epoxy 🤷♂️
@@donovenvarner will human shit maple syrup and cigar ashes work?

Wood U Make It Glad to hear it, that sure is an interesting blade!
Have a great day..
Wonderful…. But show the finished handle….
nice

Hi Mike,What kind of blade is that and what would it be used for?

Hello,can you tell me what the music at the end is?
The music playing throughout the video is a track that I downloaded from premiumbeat.com. It's called Happy Bossa Nova.
Thanks for video I just can’t see inside pot
Have knife that I used a lot that the handle finally fell apart. Do not have any of these tools. Would you be interested? Just an old serrated bread knife.
Sure, I could help with that. You can email me at woodumakeit@gmail.com and we can discuss.
Haha, that's one dull knife
that knife was so sharp the paper just shredded
paper is also a terrible way to check sharpness. Paper dulls knives out quickly.
Your kitchen “sharpener” is a honer for straightening the edge. Not for sharpening. Dig the handle though.
It's easy with a shit ton of money.
You need to work on your sharpening skills!
Fucking moron
Would enjoy it much better if you could cut the music. Have a hard time hearing.
You should be wearing gloves. Those resin monomers are nasty stuff and can cause skin irritation.
Yeah, that's sure did a good job on the paper cut🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sorry to break it to u but you honed the blade not really to sharpen it
no.
Try best plans for woodworkers. woodprix.
Stop stop stop
You're killing me
Stick with the wood and leave the metal alone!!
First off that is a honing steel not a sharpening rod. second off clamp that
damn stone down don't let it move
Third off put some water on that stone
AND
last but not least drag it backwards and not forward
