8670, I wish I would have done a build video for this one

I’ve got some ready

Go to the facebook page

The Fatbelly is all about simple effective and clean

Thanks man, means a lot I’ve been trying to do more RUclips builds

These go for $100, shoot me a message on the Little River Forge Facebook page and we can get you one shipped out.

I have a few good carry knives i cycle between.

I think it went well, it was mainly just me tryna figure out how live streaming works. I’m still relatively new to the whole RUclips thing.

Absolutely. That’s the plan.

@Little_River_Forge I subscribed because I liked what you were doing, shoot you inspired me to try welding literally today. I seen you hand doing patern welded steel by hand and said, yep it's time lol. After I welded the 2 pieces I forge welded them then did a taco and made a Keychain knife... small small billet lol. Thanks man you already did more for this Smith than any other channel

@@AP.Custom.Forgeworks it’s possible there wasn’t always power hammers and presses

@@Little_River_Forge it went swimmingly

Thanks for the sub! I have some stuff planned coming soon that should be pretty cool.

Thank you. How did yall do during that hurricane?

@@Little_River_Forge decent, the house is okay but my shop took a hit. Thanks for asking. You do ok through it?

@@treyzmodels422 yea we got some good winds I’m in Suwannee county. We didn’t get it bad from this one.

Thank you. It came out pretty good.

@@cae2487 I do too, it was supposed to be two billets of twist but one failed. This one was a last minute salvage attempt to use the billet

I use Old Hickory Forge hammers. Sadly John was hit very hard by hurricane helene. Lost his shop his home and more.

I’m not sure if he has anything left for sale but you can check his Etsy store or I could ask him, I doubt he has anything available the storm took a lot from him.

That’s terrible

He’s a strong dude he’s going to bounce back especially with all of us behind him.

@@brianfalls5038 I’ll be doing a lot of it on this channel. Subscribe and come hang out we can do some sort of build along or something

@@richardbryant7972 yes, sadly she was taken by the storm. John is in hospital I believe and his home and shop was all lost. The community have started a go fund me for him to help him recover and help him put together a life after this disaster

@@AP.Custom.Forgeworks absolutely 🤣 inspiration comes from everywhere if you have the right kind of eye

Around 25-30 layers I did a stack and added some as I restacked

@@Little_River_Forge I have yet to do a twist pattern. 30 layers by hand is most impressive. I would have gassed out on the floor and been crying for oxygen.

It was made by Emily’s casting crafts, out of Ocala Florida

@@Little_River_Forge Thanks man! I'll check out.

@@TBWblades tell her jef carter sent you over she’s awesome.

@@Little_River_Forge will do. Thanks much!

The kukri I’ve seen it spelled a few different ways.

It came out killer, I wasn’t sure about it when I first got them.

I got a video coming if it finished

@@AP.Custom.Forgeworks I did 1 1/2” flat bars 5/32” thick I believe they were all around the 6” length mark. Usually when I do smaller billets that’s the size I go for. After you get them nice and clean on the grinder I soak my billets with WD40 before going in the fire.

@Little_River_Forge nice. I'm going to use what I got here and try it out but it will be 3/16 1095 and 3/32 15n20. I feel like my first attempt will be interesting so use the 1095 cut off lol. Thanks again man

@@AP.Custom.Forgeworks clean your material around 120grit soak with wd40 and wipe clean after you get it welded up soak it with wd40 again. Let your forge get super hot, put your billet in and roll it every couple of minutes and your first weld pass should take nice with no flux.

@Little_River_Forge I bought diesel for the soak based on others a while ago. I do have lots of wd so I'll make 2 billets and try them both. The will be small anyway since hand forge so if they both work I can combine the 2 or do different patern attempts. I'm also trying a no weld tie wire attempt lol. Wish me luck you might hear me cuss from Washington lol

@@AP.Custom.Forgeworks diesel works just fine, as long as the forge is good and hot it should cost everything fine when it burns off

@@aviweisbach7816 yea the whole outer layer is gone it was too thin to start with. With San Mai’s and go Mai’s the thicker your starting layers the better

@@richardbryant7972 thanks, I have a press but it’s in pieces at the moment. Hopefully it will be finished soon. But setting by hand is the best way to feel when it’s solid for sure. Can’t beat the old way.

I did a little skinner out of it, it came out pretty alick

Absolutely John is an awesome guy and if I can raise even $100 it’s more than worth it. I have to help out how ever I can.

@@jaybachani1819 it was a little close for comfort wasn’t it.

@@Little_River_Forge keep you from loosing a finger or two

@@jaybachani1819 I didn’t realize how dumb it was until I watched it.

Thank you, I’ve been forcing myself to learn hidden tangs

@@deeprootsforge thanks a lot I’m glad somebody recommended it too. It means a lot since I’m trying to build this channel up and get more projects posted

@@deeprootsforge check out some other videos and let me know what you think man.
