Yes, very helpful, just the information I have been looking for. I now can see it all in focus and know when I cobble my first forge together it will be well along the learning curve. Thanks very much.

Anyone watching the video. You can turn your phone sideways and zoom in. RUclips start doing that about six months ago

You should have just hammered with the pistol glocks are great all around tools so why not

Annealing and normalizing are 2 totally different processes and functions. And done at different times and steps in the knife making process.

Love watching you making stuff the old way .

Just found your videos and really enjoying them

Your the man

Enjoyed it Chad! I always learn from watching you work.

I've got a Kirby vacuum cleaner hooked up to mine, that I've got plugged into a powerstat in series so I can manually control the voltage and thereby the fan speed. I was going to suggest that, but I just found out what one of them powerstats costs on the internet (but considering how much a Kirby vacuum cleaner costs new, if you can find a $10 vacuum you can find a $10 powerstat if you know what to look for.) If you can find one though, you can manually drop the speed down. Another option would be to have a valve and a fume hood, and just route any unnecessary air pressure out the exhaust to suck any airborn particulate and fumes away from your face. It is useful to me to know that I should be using very little air with the forge I am making, as I have been using quite a bit more than I need to.

You make it look so easy. Excellent skill, love the shape of the blade. 👌👏

Thanks man. This helped a lot. I already bought my first pre-annealed 1095 but I'm happy to properly learn the anneal/normalization process.

Awesome

Qué hermoso trabajo hermosa cosas bien hecha a mano muy linda y es maravilloso , vi los sopladores es muy bonitos las forjas de carbón de piedras y el yunques un monstruos es ganar de forjas los metales es cómo un arte. Saludos maestro desde Argentina 🇦🇷🔥⚒️🪓🗡⚙️🔩🪚🔧🪛.

Bank and wet down dammit.

Knifes are easy, you don't need 1 for your lifetime, you need multiple, in your lifetime, and all are easy to make, for free.

Great project! One nit to pick is that isn't a tomahawk, it's an axe, due to the method of hanging out on the haft. Doesn't take away from the finished product necessarily, but it isn't as well suited to throwing this way.

i have watched this video 3-4 times. i love the way you transform a piece of scrap and a plain antler stick into not only a useful tool, but a lifetime heirloom keepsake for someone. keep it up buddy. great work. randy

thanks!! my great grandpa left his coal forge to me and i'm trying to learn how to use it and i was excited to see that yours is practically identical to it!!

Love your work it reminds me of the woodberry style that H. House did. I was looking for videos to inspire me to get back to the shop and I hit pay dirt with yours:) Thank you

Reading that some people cant use a coal forge because they dont have electricity in their shop........ Which generates questions 🤔

Also can you pour Brass instead of pewter, or would you just burn your handles, cheers thanks

Gooday mate I like your style, could you show more on the final stages of the blade, filling and sharpening, cheers and thanks

Love your videos!

Well done!

Nice work

Glad to see you back

Excellent video. Can see the effects of the hammering easily.

I've watched this more than once & it's always interesting........keep 'em coming!

thanks mate

A nice knife mate ,like your style

I love it. what a great job. I am just getting started forging myself and I love watching your videos. You keep saying "I dont wanna bore you", but actually the more I see of the process, the more it helps me understand how to do it. Keep 'em coming.

Beautiful blade

You are the first person that I’ve seen draw a knife out by hand with no grinders or power hammers or any other power tools. Love it.

*WTF are you armed? Roving gangs of tomahawk thieves?* 😅😂🙄

Tjis cam also be called a boarding axe

You really need a patreon so we can donate

Your style is iconic. I haven’t seen knives done like this. It’s your fingerprint and they are fantastic

If you boil onion skin and put antler in it will make it a deep reddish color

Love the color

i see an unmodified pair of horse hoof nippers behind you. Do you use those unmodified hoof nippers for smithing? I had 2 pairs of hoof nippers i was about to modify, but if an unmodified pair is useful i will keep one like it is. I am a new blacksmith so i really dont know much. THanks!

Very nice.

Thats the way i do my handles

Greetings from South Carolina

Hear me out 80% carbon 'steel'

Where do you get your pewter from. If heard there are differences grades of im not sure what to get or where to get it. Tha k you for your awesome videos. I lo e your knives

Absolutely inspiring!! Thanks for sharing

Just found you on CLA and you tube. Where do you sell your knives? Is this one for sale or any others

Respect fore your work! I like this kind of knives… 5:27

I would like to see your forge how big the pot is or how it's made

Hot forging with a sidearm. Takes all kinds I guess.
