It seems like very few people are making their knives this way. It’s extremely boring when someone gets a piece of steel, and cuts the shape out with an angle grinder. Refreshing to see knives made the proper way.
Hell yea. Also i know pretty much nothing about forging, but id imagine that it being hammered makes the metal harder, compressing it. Correct me if im wrong tho
@@stephencarlisle2657 The metal does harden from forging, but not from compression. Rather when the metal is quenched, the rapid cooling causes the metal to harden. I would explain it more in depth, but I'm barely an amateur.
I always loved welding with stick welder( Arc welder) mig welder, oxy/acetylene. Never used a tig tho. But blacksmith Art? When I saw at an Agricultural show in QLD Australia! I fell in love! The teqniques I saw I couldn't leave! My brother was a pain in the rear! Saying get over it, you can't do that! Lol. Some inspiration! I was only 24!
Extra thicc machete. ;D Good job! Great to see another young smith out there! Keep the videos coming and you'll get the momentum needed to boost your channel. May I make a suggestion as far as helping eleviate some of your effort trying to drill holes and burning up drill bits? I myself have some experience with leaf springs, and know they can be an absolute pain to drill through. Great care must be taken to ensure that the steel is kept soft. What may have happened is, even if the handle was not heated to critical temperature, the steel still hardened to an extent because it was submerged in the oil. Next time, either the handle cannot be allowed to be quenched at all, and cool on its own, or a torch should be taken to it to draw a gray temper. (If there is worry about the blade's temper being ruined by this, keep a wet cloth wrapped around that part.) Don't quench it, let it cool. It may not be dead soft, but it will be better than feeling like one is trying to drill through a diamond with a drinking straw.
Thank you! And thanks for the advice I actually tried to heat it with a torch and i had the blade sitting is water so I wouldn’t ruin the heat treat but I think my torch just wasn’t strong enough. I’ll have to invest in an oxy acetylene or oxy propane torch soon for stuff like that. But you’re right those leaf springs are really tough haha
7:47 thru 7:55 - Sneak preview of a hidden track on the next Blue Man Group album. 😜 9:32 - I'm sorry, but I lost my mind at that chipmunk-sounding "Oh my GOD!" Great finished product, dude! Keep it up!
The result looked great! Try to avoid working the steel where it has wind currents because it cools faster and if you stretch the steel below the ideal temperature can create tensions and possible cracks. Best wishes and congratulations!
I like that you didnt edit out the pratfall with the forge burner, or starting with the wrong die, or inadvertantly dropping the work and tongs into the oil during quenching. Lol.
A very interesting project. Would you like to create a unique and perfect machete? For example, containing an insert of solid high-carbon steel in the blade area between two layers of viscous and elastic metal? How do you feel about zone hardened blades? Your video shows quenching in a vertical tube. You can similarly make a horizontal trough from a pipe and fill it with oil. Clay can be used for zone hardening, but high temperature sealant can also be used. With these materials you can protect parts of the tool that should not be hardened. A two-stage hardening process can also be applied. First, immerse the workpiece in water for a short time, and then in oil. Perform maximum machining prior to hardening. After hardening, do not use an electric shaping tool. It is better to use a tool that does not cause strong local heating, a hand tool. You can also use diamond or tungsten carbide tools for drilling hard steel. For example, you can use drill bits for concrete that are pre-sharpened on a diamond wheel so that they have a cutting edge. Use them with machine oil for drilling in hardened steel.
multiple times i saw where you could have created a stress fracture a tip is to not hit the metal when it starts to get to a regular gray color when it starts to get to a dull red is when you should heat it up again so that there are no stressed points
You can use drill bits (but not tubes) for concrete, glass and ceramic for drilling hardened steel. Them must be reconfigured and resharpened as regular drill bits.
Hello fellow CT guy this will be my first project if not for some tongs, finally got my burner too work took a way too long it was just too much air lol rookie move.
You should always use pro knife sharpener to ensure a perfect edge. Eyeballing it on a belt grinder will give you serious fatigue out in the field when you find out all you've done is rounded out the edge through repeated use.
Just found your channel like the video have you ever built a full tang cleaver brush axe like a machete with a two foot handle and a clever machete brush axe blade
This dude very talented,he made this machete from scratch ,not like those guy who cut some iron from old spring or else then cut it out by the shape that he want by angle grinder then polished it then says whhuuuwallaa my machete. if there is a zombie apoclypse i will find this guy and stick with him even as his helper or his baby sitter.
Hey man you need to move your anvil back in to your shop as you are trying to work steel that is too cold. That will form stress fractures, I like your determination and drive for one so young. There is a reason why blacksmith shop's are gloomy dark den's where wondrous things are created. Move back inside, your work will benefit. Thank you
Its a beautiful piece of work that you did indeed invest your time in you'll get no criticism from me but... if were going to call it a machete we need to sharpen it just a bit or simply call it a hatchet.
Don’t know if you ever got a response to this, since it’s been 3 years… But, I would do it with PCV. If you have to heat the oil you won’t be able to heat it in the PCV, also when the oil reaches flash point, it could very well make the PCV catch fire, something you don’t want. PCV gives of some NASTY fumes that shouldn’t go in your body.
Excellent blade!! I need a solid stiff heavy machete. 15”-17” blade Strictly for chopping hard wood and splitting it too. Do you sell these? I liked and subscribed. 👍
With that burner about 10psi but since then I made a new forge and built a forced air burner. I made videos about both of those things if you want to check them out!
Agreed. Hammering spring or tool steel (or anything you will quench) below a really hot red temperature is inviting stress fractures. Placing the anvil in a darker area of the workspace can help the smith see the color. In his defense, it's doubtful the camera is showing the correct hue of the metal anyway. Nice video, though. Keep hammering dude!
Live Fun Home one thing to note about oils like canola and peanut is that they need to be preheated before quenching the metal in them. I've seen some people just heat a bar of steel and dip it in the oil first to get the oil hot. If anyone else has more info, please feel free to add.
Sorry broo never say I was stupid when you learning there is nobody called stupid Sorry for your mistake . Next time drill small pilot and slow speed with tap tapmatic it will keep your bit cold

The black imperfections actually make it look really cool. It looks so good!

Nice. I finished my first machete not long ago and it had all kind of black imperfections like this.
I'm pumped for a 2nd one!

Tough as h*ck.
That machete you made is absolutely gorgeous!
Nice work.....mistakes equal learning. Looking forward to your next video.
Thank you!! And they definitely do
This is so soothing! Awesome craftsmanship! Love it! Genius!🙂👍👍👍
That Was Absolutely Awesome! Love The Hatchet!!!🗡 You Are Definitely Getting Better With Each Blade You Make!!! ⚔️
Thank you!! Glad you like it!
Good job. Like blades that look home made, instead of from a factory. All nice n shiney.

Great finished product, dude! Keep it up!
the more it is getting the shape of a machete, the bigger my smile is getting.
Excellent job.
We’re all human. We’ve been there and that’s the beauty of learning. Thank you.
Great work. That shop makes me very jealous!
Muito bom, ri bastante. Parabéns pelo trabalho.
Good to see you own your mistakes. It helps you grow and shows others who follow you, what to avoid. =)
Thanks! I try not to hide any mistakes because I feel like other people can learn from them
The result looked great! Try to avoid working the steel where it has wind currents because it cools faster and if you stretch the steel below the ideal temperature can create tensions and possible cracks. Best wishes and congratulations!
That’s so cool I’m 13 and I make knives from files and grind them down till it’s smooth and how I like it but I’ve always wanted to do blacksmithing
I like that you didnt edit out the pratfall with the forge burner, or starting with the wrong die, or inadvertantly dropping the work and tongs into the oil during quenching. Lol.
That thing is badass!

Amazing,i'm surprised you haven't reached 10000+ subscribers yet because what you make is awesome
Thanks man!! I really appreciate it!
wot you're 18,awesome tools you have!
Saludos desde Ecuador muy bueno el trabajo de forja buen material
Ficou legal.

Excellent!
damnnn....thats beastly!

That's a super machete 👍👍👍👍
Beautiful!
Looks amazing🎉
Excellent hand crafted...
Hello fellow CT guy this will be my first project if not for some tongs, finally got my burner too work took a way too long it was just too much air lol rookie move.
Good work!
Parabéns Amigo.
cuts really nice I'm impressed very nice job
Thank you!!
Nice blade. Question the press machine you are using what make and model is that. I can’t use a power hammer where I’m at . Thank you
Amazing👍👍👍
You should always use pro knife sharpener to ensure a perfect edge. Eyeballing it on a belt grinder will give you serious fatigue out in the field when you find out all you've done is rounded out the edge through repeated use.
Just found your channel like the video have you ever built a full tang cleaver brush axe like a machete with a two foot handle and a clever machete brush axe blade
It's a very nice machete. A guard would give it character as well as a bit more curve to the handle. All in all its very nice
2nd video i've seen. subbed. (a little late to the party though)
🎥 Great Video 🎬 ! _ Congratulations! 👍 🇧🇷
Buen trabajo con ese grosor de hoja debe ser muy contundente
Nice Job.
My dad and I have been debating putting together a forge since we started watching forged in fire. What tips would you have for us?
You did well what kinda oil you used for quenching and what is the length of the blade
That's cool , other than a machete is typically thinner , only about a 1/16th to 1/8th inch
Other than that , its amazing
Excelente trabajo... Sigue forjando, es un arte que apasiona y te lo digo yo que soy forjador... Saludos desde chile
Just found your channel. Great work overall. Is it a bit heavy?
Subbed.
how much did it cost you to learn this trade? Also what steel are you using for your machete?
Great work
Thanks!
This dude very talented,he made this machete from scratch ,not like those guy who cut some iron from old spring or else then cut it out by the shape that he want by angle grinder then polished it then says whhuuuwallaa my machete.
if there is a zombie apoclypse i will find this guy and stick with him even as his helper or his baby sitter.
About how many days does this take go make
About a day and a half
I'am à french Man ans un said yhea, bravo!
Thank you!
hey, your job is great!!! c'est du beau travail monsieur!!! a bientot!!
You are cheating with that hydraulic press. Just my jealousy talking..........
Nice video and great machete. New sub and thanks for sharing it with us.
Best regards.
Thank you!!
What is that strange device you use to start your Forge with?
Nice shape and weight.

didi you used iron perchloride ?
👍👍
muy bueno, ideal para los zombies
...паш ! 😉..!вот зачем тебе такой тесак, что будешь им делать, ...подарил /бы лучше мне, как раз в коллекции такого не хватает
Damn bro, I love that blade! Want to sell it???
Is that safe to put the quenching oil in a PVC pipe?
Don’t know if you ever got a response to this, since it’s been 3 years… But, I would do it with PCV. If you have to heat the oil you won’t be able to heat it in the PCV, also when the oil reaches flash point, it could very well make the PCV catch fire, something you don’t want.

Can u add Alaska to your map?
is it easy my son need to do it what are the item needed
Excellent blade!! I need a solid stiff heavy machete. 15”-17” blade Strictly for chopping hard wood and splitting it too. Do you sell these? I liked and subscribed. 👍
Thank you! I sell axes on my website but I could make you anything you want
Gostei muito bom gostaria saber preço dim facam
what does the oil do?
Oils it
jóia, pérola, relíquia, obra de arte esse é da NAZA
On how many psi run your forge burner?
With that burner about 10psi but since then I made a new forge and built a forced air burner. I made videos about both of those things if you want to check them out!
Why you sell them i love that machete i just love machetes i cut a lot of woods and more
👍✌️
Обух, по-моему, толстоват
It kinda looks like Bill's machete from the last of us.
Buy yourself some carbide drill bits. They're about 92 in Rockwell Scale so they drill everything like butter :-)
Good idea! I definitely need to get some
Nice video
Thanks man!
jenial
Good job 😂😂
Skills
I commented before you dropped it the quinch tank was not hateing stuff happens
Letting that steel get a bit cool for hammering there.
Agreed. Hammering spring or tool steel (or anything you will quench) below a really hot red temperature is inviting stress fractures. Placing the anvil in a darker area of the workspace can help the smith see the color. In his defense, it's doubtful the camera is showing the correct hue of the metal anyway. Nice video, though. Keep hammering dude!

Paul’s machete > axe
You made a quality tool but I suspect it is too heavy to be a practical survival tool?
🙏🙏🙏👍👍👌👌👌
which oil did you use?
Looked like canola oil. I've heard lots of people use peanut oil too.
Thanks so much!
Live Fun Home one thing to note about oils like canola and peanut is that they need to be preheated before quenching the metal in them. I've seen some people just heat a bar of steel and dip it in the oil first to get the oil hot. If anyone else has more info, please feel free to add.
Vegetable oil??? That's a first one.
Selling one?
Good job, but is not a machete, is a Big knife, is to tick for machete!!!
Machete is not a wapon os a tool!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
اكو عرب بالطياره
paul Im local. are you offering your machetes? online or pickup ? kindly rich
Yeah I could definitely make you a machete! You can message me from my website if you would like to order one
Ok
Make 2 Bub
Sorry broo never say I was stupid when you learning there is nobody called stupid Sorry for your mistake .
Next time drill small pilot and slow speed with tap tapmatic it will keep your bit cold
You didn't ate your vegetables
