Very cool! I really enjoy your style! Even the music at the end fits lol. Here are a couple pointers for getting a better hamon. 1). Don't use 01 tool steel, as it is a deep hardening steel which means it pretty much hardens the full thickness of the steel, especially at these thin cross sections. Use a simple, low alloy, high carbon steel which will be shallow hardening. The two main alloys that will affect whether it is a deep hardening steel or a shallow hardening steel (which is what you want if going for a hamon) are manganese and chromium, so try to keep those as low as possible in the steel you choose. I'm not sure what the steel designations are where you live, but get something that is equivalent to either 1075, 1095, W1, or W2 in the USA, as they can all produce a quality hamon. The only thing about shallow hardening steels is that they need a faster quench to fully harden, so water is recommend in many cases. However, in these thinner cross sections that thin into a wedge shape, such as knives and any edged tool, its not too difficult to rapidly cool them, especially since it's only important for the cutting edge to cool fast enough in the quench, which is the thinnest part. So instead of water, which can be harsh and greatly increase the likelihood of cracks, a good alternative is canola oil preheated to 120 degrees Fahrenheit before the quench, which is about the best/fastest it gets when it comes store bought cooking oils. A thermometer that's used for deep frying or a candy thermometer works great for reading the oil temp, and you can preheat in on an oven range or even by heating and quenching a piece of scrap steel in it. Also, try to use a larger volume of oil for your quench, as it helps to pull and disperse the heat for faster quenching, even for small knives and tools. An old ammo can from a military surplus store or an empty and cleaned paint can (1 gallon) work great and hold the right amount of oil for quenching smaller tools. 2). When coating the blade with clay, less is more! Try to keep the thickness of the clay below 1/8". Your clay thickness in this video looked good. Another thing that helps speed up the quench is applying a very thin clay slurry over the entire blade, including the edge, before applying the main clay pattern for the hamon. This helps to break up the vapor jacket that forms around the hot steel in the oil which keeps the oils from actually making contact with the steel and thus cooling it. This, as well as agitating the blade in the oil, either up and down or front to back (side to side can cause warping), help to increase the quench speed. Just water down some furnace cement to create the thin clay slurry. A refractory cement that comes in powder form IMO works best for this, since you can customize the its consistency. A popular refractory cement/mortar we use in the United States is called "satanite". You can find refractory cement like this either online and/or at places that sell supplies to make pottery and the kilns for fireing the clay pottery. 3). For etching and polishing the hamon on the blade, make sure all of the smallest scratches are sanded out, as the etch will cause them to become more visible. Also, if using ferric chloride, use a very weak solution as opposed to a stronger one. Slower etch cycles and more of them looks better than a stronger etching solution with less cycles. Make sure the blade is very clean before. Using denatured alcohol works great to clean all the heavier dirt and oils and then hot water and dish soap afterwards works to clean any oils left over, even from your fingers. Now, making sure not to touch the blade with bare fingers, go straight from the water into the acid, before the water dries as this seems to produce the cleanest and most even etch. I personally like to used distilled white vinegar that has been "cut" with a few drops of dish soap (for lowering the surface tension so it doesn't bead up on the blade) and apply it to the blade with a cotton pad commonly used to remove makeup. I feel I'm able to bring out the most activity and the very subtle activity (such as the "ashi" lines) in the hamon this way. I usually etch the blade by rubbing the entire blade with the cotton pad (which has been soaked in the warm vinegar) for about a minute while especially focusing on the area(s) with the most activity in the hamon, then I neutralize it with windex window cleaner because it contains ammonia, which is what neutralizes the acid. After that I rub the off oxides with a metal polish such a "Flitz" or "Mother's Mag" as they're known here in the states, using another clean makeup pad. Then I clean it *thoroughly* again with the denatured alcohol (acetone works here too) and then hot water with soap, and then I repeat the etch. I will do this for at least 5 cycles or until I get the desired look. Lemon juice (also warmed up with a few drop of dish soap) also works great instead of vinagar, or even using both by using the lemon juice for the last few etch cycles after using the vinegar. It all depends on the look you want and how far you want to go down the hamon rabbit hole 😉 The very diluted ferric chloride (with a ratio of around 5:1, being five parts water to one part acid) produces the fastest results and many people seem to like it, so try both of them to see which you like the best. Just make sure to always neutralize the blade after each etch, otherwise there could be small acidic traces remaining on it that will continue to slowly etch the steel which can cause it to rust. Anyway, I hope you find this helpful. Sorry for the incredibly long post and possibly getting more detailed than you wanted, I'm not that great at summing things up, but everything here is worth knowing if you want to continue improving the looks of the hamon you create. Thanks again for sharing, I look forward to seeing what functional art (some more functional than others lol 😉) you create next. Take care :)
jimmydiresta Awesome to see one of my personal heroes on this channel as well. Love the fact that you are engaged in this creator place space called youtube. Thank you for being awesome jimmy, thank you.
I don’t know if you have ever watched the movie: Pink Panther starring Peter Sellers but your voice reminds me of Mr. sellers character in that movie. I don’t say this to mean anything bad, just the opposite. I ha e ever laughed so hard in my life. Your work is so great that I would make an ass of myself if I tried to praise you any harder. Thank You so much!
Every time I see the notification for one of your videos I go like: 1. Yay, a new one is out! 2. Hmmmm, 20 minutes seems a bit long for a video only about making a simple gouge... 20 minutes later... 3. Oh... Oh wow... 4. Replay.
Uri there is something about you just quite likeable. And I love you have this kind of craftsman spirit, ever eager to refine yourself and your abilities.
You would like this idea I think, you can turn an electric toothbrush into a micro sander. Personally I like to use one that actually spins all the way around, but their hard to find at a reasonable price lately. Anyway, remove the bristles and cut a small circle of sandpaper and glue it to the head. Cut it the same size for a detail work or cut it oversized and use the unbacked part of the wheel for gentle smoothing.
I just recently found your channel but I'm loving it! I've always seen myself as a fellow "maker" and I've finally got my own garage at my new place so I can finally have my own shop! Can't wait to get started on some projects! Your channel has been a great inspiration!
I think that you did a wonderful job!! I am a woodworker, but I have never done any carving or engraving. Your videos are building a desire in me to try my hand at engraving. I really like and appreciate how you show every step and explain what you are doing as you go along. Thank you for the wonderful videos and I look forward to many more from such a talented person.
I've been considering making my own gouges etc...and literally EVERYTHING I make has a hamon lol. From broadheads to my drawknife, and everything in between. So I'm right there with you lol.
Hello. Wonderful videos you make. Fantastic gouge you've made. I like it a lot when you from time to time, in the clip, explain your process. It really makes the videos more enjoyable to watch. So keep on talking about your thoughts and explaining stuff. Thanks 🙂👍
I dont feel the need to comment on every vid that I watch ,but I have seen many of ur projects ,and all have been enjoyable, u seem like a interesting character. Wish the world had more people like urself in it. Keep doing what u do ,thx 4 the effort u put in2 ur work
A good little tip for when doing turnings is to take the shavings and hold them up to the turning when you are done tooling it. This returns the oils in the shavings back to the piece. It really enriches the colour of the woods, especially with dark woods like walnut, santos rosewood or ebony. It's quite remarkable actually. Love your work, I'm glad you are going to bring your skills more into the woodworking community. You give me brilliant idea's for metal inlay work in artistic pieces.
Thank you for sharing this! I'd wondered why some of the woodworkers I watch do this; I kinda figured it was part of a buffing process but I didn't even think of the oils in the wood-
As a knife maker I applaud your effort! However, O1 Tool steel is not very good for developing a hamon, at best you will get a transition line but basically none of the activity that you were hoping for. This is because O1 is a deep hardening tool steel, for your next experiment try 1095 or W2. Those will yield your best results. You will need to quench either of those with water, or brine (salt water) for best results. Remember you are creating different crystal structures within the steel, for best results polish more and etch less. If you cannot wait go with Ferric chloride as you did in the video. Excellent work!
Thanks! Great tips! I'll definitely try it out next. I actually don't like the ferric chloride very much, it is very aggressive and it doesn't yield the elegant result that I was hoping. I'll try some lemon in the future :)
Yes Ferric Chloride is very aggressive, I will use it when I am impatient and just want to check the pattern. I usually polish off the oxides after that, or I will then "stone wash" the steel. It is quick and dirty, but there is no replacing the results of time and patience. I will alternate between Lemon Juice and white vinegar. Heating up your weaker acids will help with the etching process as well. You may notice that the acids will bead up on the surface of the steel, you can resolve that by adding a few drops of dish soap. This will alter the surface tension and you will get a more even coating. Just dampen a rag and apply the acid slowly by slowly rubbing the steel for about 15 minutes per side. Then polish again, you may need to repeat this process 5 times or more. Patience will reward you with amazing results!
I think you did an excellent job there young man. I know I would be pretty proud to own a chisel like that, very professional looking. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve been watching your videos for a few days now thanks to James Wright. I love your work and also think your mistakes are better than I can even get close to doing. Also, my wife loves your accent.
Great great great video. Very informative and entertaining! Thanks Uri!! Love the engraving in everything you make. The vise handle was a new twist - didn’t see that coming!! Lol. Great look.
I love your work and you are a great person too! On the heat treating my Dad always used the oil that they put in cars and he moved the torch constantly to make heat even.
What an Artist!! there is nothing you won`t tackle and long may it last! Fascinating what you make, I love it your attention to detail is great and the gouge looks most useful for carving, maybe you will show your carving with it. Regards from John in England.
Awesome!! Every video I see of yours impresses me more and more! I wish we could have met forty years ago! I know that I could have shown and taught you a few things and I am sure that you could have taught me quite a bit. Peace be with you and may you continue to find Joy in ALL you do. Never give up and never stop learning!
Absolutely oustanding work, I get great sense of impending enjoyment everytime I see a notification from your channel and I thank you for that, well done!
Uri, since I mentioned doing the real woodworking tools you have 30K + subscribers. Good advice I guess. U r doing awesome. I love every vid. Thanks for them and thanks for your personality.
I absolutely love your videos! They are inspiring in the extreme. I dabble a bit in working with wood and brass, but not even close to what you are capable of. Which brings me to my question: Would you like to make something out of more than 5000 years old bog oak? I have some that I could send you if you like and maybe some other bits and bobs, too :-) Would love to see you make something amazing with it!
I know this is a very old post, but where can I get some bog oak? I would love some for some small projects, and I've even looked into making a homemade version. Would love to know where I can find some or get some shipped to good ol' Wisconsin!
Beautiful. To offset that flexing you mentioned, perhaps on the next one you could carry the concavity of the cutting edge farther along the blade, maybe even into the tang.
Damn wish I could post a photo in the comments of a very old special handle shape you’d appreciate. Awesome vice handle haha beautiful gouge. Love big sweeps too.
It is B E A utiful Uri. Excellent work, thank you for sharing. You truly do make very beautiful and interesting pieces. You are an artist creator. Awesome gouge beautiful and useful. P.S. I think the hamon was a nice touch. Also can never get enough of the brass, I myself favor copper.
Also when are you going to start a patreon account, you should I would gladly donate to help you get a lathe and more stuff. I think we would all love to support you becoming a fulltime youtuber. Be well, my guy.
You make great projects. Keep up the amazing work. I've always felt if you are able to make the tools if your trade you are at the highest level of your craft.
Very cool! I really enjoy your style! Even the music at the end fits lol.

I love seeing these videos after seeing the newer ones. It's like watching a flower bloom.
You have a wonderful sense of humor that is very important when things go awry. You keep me laughing. And I learn too.
Uri it’s an absolute pleasure to watch you at work ,
Every time I see the notification for one of your videos I go like:
1. Yay, a new one is out!
2. Hmmmm, 20 minutes seems a bit long for a video only about making a simple gouge...
20 minutes later...
3. Oh... Oh wow...
4. Replay.
Yep..
noctrnalAndroid Enjoying your projects! Thank you!
Love your humor almost as much as I appreciate your skill.....A very satisfying video and you only failed once......that's a good record! Thank you!
My cat, Moishe, wondered what Muppet was so upset about.
Винаги се радвам на вашите видеоклипове Uri. Greatings From Bulgaria.
Another wonderful project Uri, that gouge came out looking superb 👍
Definitely ASMR for me tonight. Fell asleep in the tub and my doggo woke me up lol
I love this guy. He's not an expert in everything he does but he is willing to learn and perfect his talent! Good videos my guy!
Uri there is something about you just quite likeable. And I love you have this kind of craftsman spirit, ever eager to refine yourself and your abilities.
You are the best human being in this world
I absolutely agree
yes
Agree

And he looks like zlatan ibra!!!!
Man who cuts steel with hand tools- “I can’t wait 5 minutes”
steel? bla bla...
@@construccionesdeobra2323 - have you seen his hand engraved hammer video, yet?
The beautiful clarinet music when he started carving
A+

The toothbrush motor is reaaly anemic, it wouldnt sand plastic even if you overvoltaged it.
Simply beautiful and elegant!
I 've lost counting the arts and crafts You know!!!!!!Master in every one I've seen ........Respect!!!!!!!!
the amazing dedication to a single tool is so inspiring to me. every detail is beautiful
Love your personality and the honesty and fun you have! It comes through and makes the viewer feel happy too!!
SO great! I love that you keep your "beginners mind"!
I just recently found your channel but I'm loving it! I've always seen myself as a fellow "maker" and I've finally got my own garage at my new place so I can finally have my own shop! Can't wait to get started on some projects! Your channel has been a great inspiration!
You are so inspiring. You make it look easy because you do it simply. Thank you!
Really lovely piece. Well done.

Very Sweet man! if you ever want to do a collab let me know!
It must be so satisfying to create a tool completely from scratch like this. You are amazing, Uri! 👍🏻Bravo!
I've been considering making my own gouges etc...and literally EVERYTHING I make has a hamon lol. From broadheads to my drawknife, and everything in between. So I'm right there with you lol.
Excellent effort and we'll presented. If you're enjoying it, your audience will enjoy it.
Hello. Wonderful videos you make. Fantastic gouge you've made.
I like it a lot when you from time to time, in the clip, explain your process. It really makes the videos more enjoyable to watch. So keep on talking about your thoughts and explaining stuff. Thanks 🙂👍

very beautiful . i love functional art . a gouge any wood worker would be proud of .
I think you did an excellent job there young man. I know I would be pretty proud to own a chisel like that, very professional looking. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve been watching your videos for a few days now thanks to James Wright. I love your work and also think your mistakes are better than I can even get close to doing. Also, my wife loves your accent.
Excellent work!
That came out really nice!
Just gose to show you how timeless some skills really are. Keep on trucking my very skilled friend.
Great great great video. Very informative and entertaining! Thanks Uri!! Love the engraving in everything you make. The vise handle was a new twist - didn’t see that coming!! Lol. Great look.
SUPER FANTASTIC JOB.
WITH COMPLIMENTS.
Sehr gut und schön gearbeitet. Du machst tolle Dinge und gibst den Menschen Anregungen etwas für sich selbst zu erschaffen.
You have inspired me to try! great job!
Loving your content so far, hope you never stop.
You’re the most incredibly satisfying channel to watch your projects are beautifully crafted simple but nails elegant
it's pretty awsome...i appreciate all your Job... the engravings and all tools of yours...just continue doing things like that.
That's so cool that you try new things, even when you're not sure it will work! I love every thing you make and how much love you put into it! 😊
You are fantastic! Hugs from Brazil.
Master of metals and wood !!!
Awesome job you are a true craftsman.
Very well done sir. That is a beautiful gouge.
Man you are the only guy I would watch make a chisel, awesome content keep up the good work bud, you are a rising star for sure.
I love when the walnut wood started crying in pain as you sawed it and you yelled a curse at it.
I am so happy I found this channel, it is truly a gem
Wow beautifly done. Especialy the vise crank handle.
I love your work and you are a great person too! On the heat treating my Dad always used the oil that they put in cars and he moved the torch constantly to make heat even.
I absolutely love your style and humour, great video looking forward to the next one.
Mesmerizing to witness your creative talent at work. It´s minds like yours that stumble upon wonderful new innovations & inventions.
When I seen the use of your newly hand carved wooden scroll "vise handle" made me giggle. Love it man
Another great job. You are very talented. All your work comes out looking very good!
What an Artist!! there is nothing you won`t tackle and long may it last! Fascinating what you make, I love it your attention to detail is great and the gouge looks most useful for carving, maybe you will show your carving with it. Regards from John in England.
Awesome!! Every video I see of yours impresses me more and more! I wish we could have met forty years ago! I know that I could have shown and taught you a few things and I am sure that you could have taught me quite a bit. Peace be with you and may you continue to find Joy in ALL you do. Never give up and never stop learning!
You're a terrific artist
A genius mind can do amazing things with his hands. You’re an amazing and skillful craftsman.
Absolute craftsmanship. Thank you
You make it all look so simple beautiful work again
Absolutely oustanding work, I get great sense of impending enjoyment everytime I see a notification from your channel and I thank you for that, well done!
Good work. Love your craftsmanship
Again you created something to be proud of!
Actually 3 things. The chisel, this video and the crank for your vise :-)
Very beautiful working.thanks
I really enjoy watching your videos. You do amazing hand work. Old world craftsmanship.
Man, this channel is gonna be huge soon. Great stuff!
You are so incredibly artistic. I wish I could learn from you and skill to my area in America.
Absolutely love your videos. Your approach to crafting things reminds me of myself except you have more talent. Great job.
Mesmerising. Beautiful job 🇦🇺
Uri, since I mentioned doing the real woodworking tools you have 30K + subscribers. Good advice I guess. U r doing awesome. I love every vid. Thanks for them and thanks for your personality.
I absolutely love your videos! They are inspiring in the extreme. I dabble a bit in working with wood and brass, but not even close to what you are capable of.
Which brings me to my question: Would you like to make something out of more than 5000 years old bog oak? I have some that I could send you if you like and maybe some other bits and bobs, too :-)
Would love to see you make something amazing with it!
Thanks my friend! That's really cool! I have a business mail where we can further talk.
Done :-)
I really want to see the project
I know this is a very old post, but where can I get some bog oak? I would love some for some small projects, and I've even looked into making a homemade version. Would love to know where I can find some or get some shipped to good ol' Wisconsin!
Beautiful. To offset that flexing you mentioned, perhaps on the next one you could carry the concavity of the cutting edge farther along the blade, maybe even into the tang.
Brilliant work.. Thanks for sharing💂♂️💂♂️
8:26 Cat doesn't agree with your choices ;P
🤣
Im agree 100% with the cat!!!!!
Dogs are here to make us feel loved and appreciated. Cats are here to make us feel humble.
Katie Dotson: No, cats are here to make us feel special. A typical dog loves everybody. But if a cat loves you, it really means something.
Baloney, they are here to make your eyes water, and your nose to itch, leading to a sneeze and a runny nose. LOL
Holy snot, your videos are top quality. I love your style! I really like that you made a vice handle
Damn wish I could post a photo in the comments of a very old special handle shape you’d appreciate. Awesome vice handle haha beautiful gouge. Love big sweeps too.
