I’m about to start a raffle for one with the Eskimo tent colours. Rainydayforge.ca

But this one is a sold custom.

@@RainyDayForge will you all send out an email when the raffle goes live?

@@hunt_trap_fish Done! Thanks for the kick in the pants.

@@RainyDayForge you got it!

You know what I love. I was kind of feeling that way too and your message totally made my day. I have a lot on my plate and this put some wind in my sails.

@@RainyDayForge GOOD!

At first, for practice.

Thanks! I appreciate it!

Thank you kindly

Dang rights it better!!

Practice practice

i wonder 🧐

This was CEC Corp medium viscosity.

CA glue in this case

Thanks so much!!!

🤣 Gotta be 3 boings. No more, no less

Indeed! It’s sanded to 600 grit now and looking 😘.

Very nice

Thanks!

Agreed... especially in a shop full of metal shelves and stuff.

I’ll have to look that up. Thanks for watching !

Thanks man! I wish that I still had it. It was a crazy piece!

Thanks Mike!

Oh wow! I posted this a long time ago. The knife is still in use and the owner says that it’s his favourite. Make sure to test the steel as best as you can before spending time making a knife out of it.

Thanks Lorne! I think there’s some value in the video since I was looking for this information myself.

Thanks man!

They’re a tasty morsel of meat. In respect for the fish, I try to use as much of it as possible. I made fish soup a while back using the bones and heads.

Thanks Troy!!! I appreciate it! ♥️

Thank you very much!

I never thought of looking to see if they had a preferred length. I see benefits from a longer handle length and vice-versa, with a shorter length.

@@RainyDayForge its a good interpretation, but battle axe handles werent shaped much like wood splitting handles. Shadiversity and scholagladitoria might have some more information on historical weapons for u to check if u decide to make a more historically accurate piec

@@user-wx3wx5vy3q Thanks Monkey! I'll check them out.

Haha! Thanks! The saw is now hanging above the doorway that goes out to my shop. It looks great!

Thanks! I enjoy the filming and editing as much as the bladesmithing.

Thanks Ryan!

Haha! I’m sure a lot of people won’t understand your reference.

There are kilns available that have inlets so that you can flood them with Argon. I think Paragon kilns have the feature. If you look up damasteel in Germany, I think they use this process but only to make their stainless steel damascus billets.

Good guess! It was trout. I bought the fire pit at a garage sale.

Ah man! David, I appreciate your comment. I put a lot of time into making the axe and the Seax and then a sank a bunch of time learning Blender for the animations. How do make the algorithm work for me? 🤷🏽‍♂️

I wish I knew bud. Your production value is way up there for a young channel. I can think of a few other channels that blew up overnight in the same timeframe. Hard to figure how the machine overlords classify us consumers. But if it's merely blind chance for a channel to make it big, I sincerely hope you do. Good luck brother!

Overloards??? I must pray. 🙏🏼 🤣 have a good weekend. Thanks again

Thank you. I was looking for a challenge but I didn’t want to flex too much.

Thanks Nick! I hope things are going well on your end!

You're right. I have a forest near me but it's a shared space within the city. I cut a bunch of small ones but my wife was filming and the clips were janky.

In her defence, I was rushing her and asking for help, I told her "just hit record." I needed a Snickers.

And the op needed a clue... take that negativity somewhere else. It's not a felling or splitting axe. Awesome job on the axe and the video, testing included. Thanks for your time shared with us.

Thanks Byron! I love reading thoughtful comments from viewers. It gives me motivation on forge on!

Thanks!!! Screw the Bubly! lol. Last time I went through half a box of them! Thanks for leaving a comment. The spaghetti squash, I grew last Summer. I'm surprised how well they keep! I have a few more but I'll be eating them. :)

We threw out a dozen or so that had gone bad about three years ago for the calves to chew on, and between those and the different squash we planted in the garden, we wound up with over 1400lbs of squash in the house the following winter lol we were giving it away, hiding it in random people's vehicles, using them for target practice, and feeding the calves in the pen to the point where they'd just roll it out under the fence because they were sick of them, too lol I'd stopped counting volunteer squash plants at 150 that summer, and we likely had double that when we found the rest hiding in the millet and oats in the pen lol

@@Jokerkles 🤣🤣🤣 that a lot of squash! 🐄 We gave away quite a bit of it too.

Thanks BlackBeard! I've only just started to scratch the surface of mosaics. I learnt a few things during the process.

Fewer & Thicker. Every piece added to a billet could allow scale to build up between the layers and cause a flaw or a complete failure. The amount of heat required to forge-weld is surprising to new smiths. Welding the pieces in place is important so that the layers don't slide around. A few videos back I experimented with some wrought and forge-welding. It didn't work. (Viking Folder video)

Thanks!
