- In this video I take a break from machining to do way too much sanding. But I also learn to anodize titanium and use my new heat treat oven. I bought this BRS Alpha Beast to help me with my baliscissors project. It was a bit beat up so I thought I'd use it to improve my finishing skills.

I feel like this is an example of "perfect is the enemy of good"
I would say it's a perfect example.
Wow. Just wow. I'm so amazed you would take on a project like this and go into the detail that you did. I'm also very jealous you have access to all that equipment.
Jacob Wrona it’s all just simple tools, not very expensive at all.
It honestly doesn’t seem that hard. The anodizing part seems really fun, and the idea of sanding something to a mirror finish seems rewarding. Man I really wanna try anodizing.
Rotary tools aren’t that expensive. You can buy a ok one for a little over 50 dollars
im already jealous that he has one of thise knifes.
@@mbtred1427 I'd hardly call a mill or a lathe simple and inexpensive
This is the most wholesome guy that I know who plays with knife
I'm 10 now
Yeah🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cause knives are unwholesome?
ram3n no0dle he’s saying that that’s the most wholesome guy he’s seen play with knives he never said knives weren’t wholesome bud maybe learn to read and actually understand what people say
Deathmachine 1271 that reply seemed a little heated, you okay buddy?

Looks good. Thanks for the shout out

am I the only one that thought this guy had at least a half mil subs before checking. great camera work, u deserve more subs bro
edit: grammar
honestly same, his videos are so professionally done. His voice is so soothing and I don't get bored of any of his content
@@enweghikomputa8153 I read this thinking, oh wow I thought the same thing, eh he must have like 70k. *2.5 k* wattttttt
Yea
hes also gotta sound more like he actually wants to talk and not talk as if its a chore. but yeah pretty damn good otherwise

I love how ur not scared to show self criticism, I feel that most these channels try to stay professional but you give these restore projects a good change of pace which makes it more enjoying to watch
I think he was a bit to hard on himself at times.
@@G4besalright same
he sounds sleepy when talking
@@G4besalright Honestly that's how you get really really good at something.
You can tell from his voice, he’s tired as hell, get some sleep buddy you need it :)
yeah lol
And deserve it.
ikr
Why would I not agree
He seems rather calm, not tired. :)
Me: oh wow that look cool
Him: I didn’t like it
Me: what-
Him: so I did this
Me: oh wow I like tha-
Him: I made a mistake
Me: HOW IT LOOKS GOOD
Perfect is the enemy of good
I know it looks so good and he says he messed up like what
I know right
th-cam.com/channels/O3rb5oXpVd4jkHxL81dxgg.html
i am not sure but i think it looks diffrent on camera
He’s so chill but I feel bad when he gasps
man, seeing how far the alpha beast came is crazy, you did fantastic work on it
Thanks!
Mffff mff mh!
I agree
He’s so hard on himself, I wish I could do half the stuff in this video
hes like me, except I cant do anything
@@jasnammansa8565 hes like me except he is competent
I just don't have the money for the machinery v.v
Right thousands of dollars of equipment just to fix a knife
Why is this on my recommended
But I like it
Im scared of TH-cam now just bought my first knife ever didn't say anything about it online open my phone up to see this in my recommended
Grammar is important kids
Same but im obsessed with knifes so its not that surpirising
Why tf does this have so many likes
Thats the point of the algorithm it shows u thinks u mightlike
Dude... for all the "imperfections" and "mistakes" and whatnot, this turned out so. Effing. COOL!!! You need to cut yourself some slack!
The handles! Argh! So amazing! The neon color looks really awesome, and paired with the splatters it's a double-cool thing! Plus they're so shiny!
This is probably the coolest thing I've seen all month (I see a lot of cool things, otherwise it might be coolest thing all year :P)
He put a lot of effort so the result would come out good
You say cool alot
Him: Says he is being lazy after working for about 5-8 hrs straight
Me: gets up to pickup a glass of water and thinking I have done too much work today 😂
mans talking in lowercase
Ya
I have your profile picture as one of them widget things on my phone
Highly underrated comment
I think you meant mans talking in *technoblade*
@@Zain-zp6hi why technoblade?
8:11 this man aint got time to bleed
his immune system says "no dont bleed yet fam"
as a balisong maker myself, the level of *sigh* is funny as hell.
nani desuka? svix-co-senpai?? 😳😳😳
@@arvid7562 ara ara
How do you make balisongs - do you buy parts?
@@cranimation2133 u design em. everything
@@svix2127 so you can either like cut the parts out of metal, or custom order them online, or something like that?
no one gonna talk about how he casually brushed over the fact he sanded his fingers down?
When does he do that??
@@euclidtheorem4817 when he's sanding the blade with his hands on the grit. in the last shot you can see his hands are extremely red, sanded
WOW , what an amazing talent. never give this up you were born for this
Me looking for people saying “ITS NOT A BALISONG ITS A BUTTERFLY KNIFE
Their the same thing...
@@imamincraftboi7164 yeah,That's the joke.
@@imamincraftboi7164 WOOW your a frikkin genius
Mate, balisong is a butterfly knife too
People in the community like to call it a balisong because it’s the traditional name
This is the best re-anodozation for an alpha beast. You're a Legend!
Yo you deserve way more views and subscribers for this level of quality content, great job!
Kk
As a bladesmith myself; this is absolutely professional work, well done man!!!!!
The 'after' results are really nice. I'm a big fan of the multicolor anodized look. You did a great job and should be proud. It sounds like you've learned a great deal!
"I murdered ur toys as well"

Sorry to pop in unannounced
I never really was on your side
You died as you lived... Morbidly Obese
You got blood on my suit
YES i was looking for a comment like this
I have never heard someone sound so depressed at such an amazing job... Keep up the good work!
Get this man some subs! This was incredible!
the nail polish technique is probably the smartest and coolest way of making something bland into a call of duty camo, great work man
*date conversation*
Girl: so... what do you do as a hobby?
This guy: I like knives.
Me: *runs into the room “I SMELL KNIFE COLLECTION”
This man sounds sooo wholesome and I love it
He sounds depressed
This has to be the most entertaining guy who makes his content just hobby wise where it looks sleek editing and overlay of the voice. It’s just so nice to see someone sharing their interests with others and being so whole about it, keep on goin man
your voice gives me heavy joe pera vibes and I love it. so calming and wholesome, keep it up you’re amazing.
I'm really questioning how the youtube algorithm new something I would like that never crossed my mind.
Dam you really are the most chill dude who has restored a balisong that isnt some douche who does it just for money and sh you really can express yourself and entertain people more
Ok now this clearly needs a million views and be on my recommended after 3 years
Lol alright. See you in 3 years
Showed up in my recommended and was treated with a pleasant surprise!
My TH-cam recommendation algorithm is starting to know me better than my family and friends
That's how it works. Eventually it'll know you better than yourself
I appreciate you showing the whole process instead of just the stuff that worked for you.👍
One of the key things that separates craftsman from master artisans and engineers is knowing when to stop. LS Starrett had a well known ideology. Something needs to be exactly as precision as required. No more, no less. Important to know when the job is done. Knowing when to walk away is important. You did a wonderful job and have a lot of skill! And you should be proud.
You don't give yourself enough credit. This is amazing work
I have to say, even thought this was more or less a practice piece in the end, I think it turned out gorgeous. I'm going to have to look up this anodization tutorial you mentioned and do something similar with my next titanium scales or something.
damn that's a really good video. i have been looking for these kind of videos for a while now. I'm glad i finally found one with the entire process and it has top tier editing. I bet it costed you a lot with all those power tools and such. Good Job on this one man
This sounds like a man who is absolutely done with everything and everyone
Well this a rare sight, a real restoration, AND he added customization, AND its a balisong. 3 amazing things in one video
Knife: super shiny
Contraption Collection: its a bit blotchy
Wait how do you have so little subscribers? This is such high quality content! Keep up the good work!
alright so i was scrolling through this video and saw this, i was interested and clicked. after seeing how much work and dedication and you calling your work "sub par" is complete bullshit, personally i think you did an excellent job with this knife. it looks absolutely stunning
Well, the thing is, compared to masters of craft, it is worse in both process and outcome. Almost everything we own or work with in our day to day is fairly pedestrian in nature, though, so it is very impressive regardless. He works hard and cares and that's what matters.
Thank you Contraption Collection: Your videos have constantly gotten me into a get it done mood, and because of that my life has just felt better. Thank you so much.
I love how you talk and how your still motivated to finish things you've started i wish i was like that
@YANEZA Luis Venancio it's franzj's profile pic idk the sauce
this was a really cool video man, I really enjoyed watching it, I think it came out great! that splash anodizing looks awesome
lol sup DenDen
this man must have high standards for perfection because that thing looks like God fucking made it
He's so calm and while disabling a knife like i would be screaming my head because find the right part lol
I hardly ever subscribe to someone after just one video, but it really surprised me how huge is the difference between yours actual sub count, and what it should be for your content and its quality. You're actually amazing. Keep going man!
I wouldn’t really watch these kinds of videos, but this guy makes it different, this guy makes it better
Bro, it's amazing. TH-cam Recommend coming in clutch. Just subscribed.
This made my day when the video popped in my recommended.
I would love to see more of these restorations. Maybe try a beat krake raken and try to anodize the aluminum handles.
Very cool project, and I love all of the tools in your workspace. I wish more people understood the importance of doing exactly what you're doing: trying new things! The volume of information acquired that way, especially since it's 'hands-on', can be substantial. It's also a gold mine of ideas.
I didn't see any other comments mentioning this, but my preferred way to deal with sanding is to get a few thick glass plates, or granite counter top offcuts and use spray adhesive to mount the wet sanding paper to these. These substrates are generally really flat, and the adhesive makes it so the paper doesn't bunch or move around which also helps the paper last much longer. I also have a lunch tray that I lay them into on rubber feet, so the filings and water don't soil my workbench and helps with cleanup.
Looks at thumbnail: You have my curiosity.
"today we're going to do some *anodizing*
.Now you have my attention.
dude it is ok. at least you have a real one. im stuck with a homemade LEGO one.
That sounds cool af
I have three real ones
the chicken gamer which one?
the chicken gamer what are they?

"a homemade LEGO one"
A WHAT
*”What do you have?”*
*”A KNIFE!”*
*”NO!”*
Loool
Dude this is like my first time seeing this voltage color changing process and I just flipped out I love the multiple handles that don’t match it just looks so 80’s or something I love it I want that knife soooo bad lmaooo
I like how all the tiny screw ups are included.
I was shocked to see how low the views where on a video of this quality!
The sadness in his voice when he says "sanding"
This is amazing I wonder y u don’t have many subs
This was so chill and fun to watch. I've never seen a knife workshopping video in my life but it was very entertaining!
he is so hard on himself his work is amazing
very cool, dude!
I don’t even know what’s going on half the video and he sounds like he’s constantly criticizing his work
I would honestly pay like 800$ for this knife
Yeah, it's regularly 300+ already xd XD
@@gunter4155 what equipment did you use for anodization I was thinking of anodizing a pistol slide but I don't know how to get started
This is a video of a man doing what he loves with a calm attitude.
I'd have a beer with this guy and learn from him....he sounds like he'd be a patient tutor
We meet again kind strangers thanks to TH-cam's weird algorithm
No I like this video... But I didn’t even know a Balisong existed until this so yeah
yo it went from well worn to factory new
If you wanna hear a chill voice, look up “penguinz0”. His voice is as monotonous as hell
Wow! This is my first time watching Anodizing procedure! That’s amazing!
The Balisong Scissors Idea Is SICK!
Whenever you spin the balisong, it just seems really cool and satisfying, never gets old
I love your insane perfectionism. I am the same. Good is not good enough.
the dedication.
the pain.
the suffering.
it was worth it.
this dude had his heart set on this creation, and it paid off
I both enjoy the look of the new one and cannot do better. Good video.
Thank you. You got me into balisong flipping... You've costed me about 200 bucks so far
Awesome persistence! Paid-off in the end! Keep it up!
this is probably the most well treated butterfly knife i've seen. I think you gave it a good home.
Man didn't even use gloves, respect for facing the pain he went through
Only used gloves for the acid part
thats not good, thats a million dollar perfect artpiece
If you take out the pivot you could push the handle slabs in opposite directions to create tension on the lower body pivots to make the screws easy to take out. Beautiful work by the way!
Awesome love all 13 of my BRS knives!
i lvoe this guy so much................................................... everytime i heard him sigh or say unfortunately i felt his pain
Do you have depression? You’re so hard on yourself but I can tell you’re very kind. Keep on doing what you’re doing! We all love it!
That anodize finish came out stupendous. Lovely video.
i love this man and the way he makes his videos, so relaxing.
This guy talks himself down so much it looks so good mate
This is the coolest thing I've ever watched.
This is some of the highest quality content I’ve ever seen but your tired my guy. Make time for you 👍
I'll just say, this video is what got me into flipping, I only got a squiddy but i might be getting a kraken sometime this year.
