This is what I use G flex Epoxy amzn.to/2LNCY1g

Thanks, I generally have a much larger spacing, this was an experiment to see how close I could grow in a little planter about a foot and a half square. Basically went with half spacing from normal and yes it was totally to crowded, very little pollen falling through to the inner ears because of the leaves above.

@@DownunderFarmandForge RUclips put your video up recommended I thought you did good job! Just an old Hillbilly from mountains in North Carolina we really love us some corn around here! But good luck my friend!

@@YosemiteSam720 hoping to be moving up that way next year myself, waiting on my Visa. This one is a few years back, funny how RUclips works sometimes

I can’t take credit for it, bought it years ago. Definitely a great piece of kit.

That one was Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel, which tends to be the normal stainless that I use. Nice simple stainless that works well will forge heat treatment and reliable results

Thank you kindly. Not according to the song by the Crash Test Dummies 😉.

Thank you, it is very stressful that is for sure. I finally have the interview booked in a couple months time, about 2 years after our application went in and the same 2 years since we have seen each other in person. I can be really hard with just video calls, although I am glad we at least get those. Hopefully in a few months I will put a video together about it all, but while still waiting that is a bit too much at the moment. Already putting together the documents that they require at the consulate to make certain that we have it all in place. Again a big thank you for the well wishes.

Thank you gorgeous

This one is 1084 steel, Full details on the heat treat process in this video here ruclips.net/video/b0NNOE8RYaU/видео.html

Thank you Jenn! Cheers!

Thank you kindly

Yeah I like the single slot, the newest one has a lot more flexibility though. The budget one looks a little too unsupported for my tastes I like something firm behind the blade when I am grinding.

@DownunderFarmandForge that's what I thought about the budget one also. I have one I bought from OBM but I can't use my file guide with it. I tend to booger up my false edge. I need more practice grinding freehand.

Freehand comes with time and practice like anything else, despite what the doubters will tell you the skills picked up with jig grinding will help with the freehand. Can't really help much with false edge as they have never really been part of my designs.

@@DownunderFarmandForge thanks man. I was thinking about making a jig for filing false edges. I saw a video on it. Looks pretty slick. I could make it for around 20-25 bucks.

Awesome, give it a sot on a practice piece or three and see how you go

Cheers mate it is the Cowboy knife I made in the last set of videos

Not sure what part you think is cheating, but you do you

Not sure which one was in the video, if the single slot for the clamp then it is discontinued, but they now make one with 2 slots by the same maker. You can get it from Nordic Edge in Australia nordicedge.com.au/bevel-jig-for-use-with-file-guide-v2/ they also have a new budget model or Knife Kits dot com in the States www.knifekits.com/vcom/sandergrinder-bevel-jig-stainless-steel-p-16186.html?osCsid=7ef5bb9a560804883aa28005ed9d0ba4 . No commission for me either way just really love the products and Bjorn the owner of the company is a really great guy.

Cheers mate, practice is all it takes

Camera angles can be deceiving, that and I have spent a lot of time using it so what seems like a tricky task with dangerous hand position is actually the safest way to use the tool for the job.

You did a fantastic job nevertheless, a good looking blade that turned out to be, keep up the great work. What wood type was that btw?

@@Edwards7084 spalted Blackwood it is a Tasmanian timber.

Yup unfortunately easy takes money as simple as that. Cheap options, file by hand with or without a jig or freehand with an angle grinder, both are hard work and even harder to get a saleable quality knife.

@@DownunderFarmandForge this is absolutely true. The hard part of all of the methods to make easy, is to make what we can, to earn enough to buy what makes things easier.

I have seen all sorts of methods used do do it to get to the expensive grinder part, all comes down to how much free cash you can put in, how much sweat you are willing to put in or how dodgy a setup you are willing to use. My shoulder has been reconstructed 4 times so filing just isn't and option for me, freehanding an angle grinder I could probably manage but to sketchy for me, one wrong move and you ruin your work. Upside down belt sander in a vise, again a bit sketchy but possible, 1x30 beltgrinder is what a lot of people start with, multitool attachment to a benchgrinder is where I started, I then went on to a conversion for the multitool to a 2x48 that used to be available here in Australia, then finally on to the 2x60 Shopmaster from 84 Engineering. Even still I am looking to upgrade to a 2x72 when I move to the States. Just start where budget and ease of use meet for you and take it from there, learn the tools and the methods that work and honestly if the hobby is for you before drooping too much coin and see how it goes.

@@DownunderFarmandForge thank you for saying all of this. It's encouraging.

Mate the journey of One Thousand miles starts with one step. I have made a few hundred knives at this point but did not start at the top of the range equipment and still not using my dream equipment. Work with what you have until you know what you want to do and how to do it with what you have, then take the next step when you can afford it and again learn the process. You improve as you go along, learn what equipment will help you to make the next step and move on each one step at a time. I still spend money on new equipment that I wasn't thinking about when I see something handy that will improve my process, and I am never shy about taking classes and being the student to someone who knows things I don't. The Paradox of RUclips is you have to be the expert on what you are showing people or you will get called out, heck sometime you do anyway, but you have to keep learning so you have something new to show or it gets stale.

Normally takes me a couple of days start to finish on 1 knife, but they are not full days. nothing scary in how it's done, just lots of practice with my tools.

well it ain't a spoon 😂

@DownunderFarmandForge lol this was a great video, thanks keep up the excellent content

thanks

Thank you

🤗👍

Metal cutting bandsaw with a free hanging motor, does the job but not what it signed up for, all good

Thank you

Spasibo

Lot's or practice and it becomes fairly easy

Hardenable steel, glue, your choice of handle material and pin material. these are the basics for the material required.

@@DownunderFarmandForge ah ok thanks I will try it some day!

Yes you warm it up before starting to cook, you want to be fairly quick making the pies and it all works out. I preform the bases, have the filling and lid standing by. once you work out the amount of filling it is really quick.

Was there a question you had?

Thanks love

they certainly are they have poison glands and spurs on their rear legs.

If the dogs are reactive to them there is an issue, also depends on the amount given. I have never had a dog react to garlic at all, and have actually brought high end dog food that contains garlic. As far as onion yes be very conservative with how much they consume.

There is no rubber on the bandsaw wheels, has always been a direct metal to metal connection from new.

Great points, I still think the cost is a little high on them as they are only rated to the Fowlers system of bottling. If they tested and rated up to pressure canner levels then that would make a huge difference

It takes some time and lots and lots of practice but it will become second nature. It does transfer to freehand grinding with time too.

Thank you

Thanks Jenn

Table saw to split blocks to scales and my metal cutting bandsaw to trim the scales to handle shape

They are certainly a great little all purpose knife, I own a Schrade one myself and have since I was a youngster. Plus they look cool as all get out that why I love making them

Well worth it.

Cheers mate was a fancy upgrade for a client that had got 2 antler handled ones a couple years ago, he wanted something a little more dressed up.

Thank you! 😊

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks so much

There is no recognized time for a clear broth when waterbathing, but as with anything canning it is off your own discretion as to what you follow if there are no tests conducted on what is safe. Mine are 2 years old, no failed seals always smells fine when opened and gets bought up to a safe temperature for at least 10 minutes when I use it. Food safety is not just know the rules that someone tells you over the internet but also knowing when something would be unsafe, why it would be unsafe and also how to make it safe if possible. The timing for waterbath comes from depth of heat penetration across the time and the amount of pressure induced into the jar during the heating time. Clear broth has no solids to resist the penetration of heat and the fact that they all come out and seal means that more than 1 atmosphere of pressure was introduced to the jar during the canning process meaning an effective greater than 100C temperature was achieved (the lid resists releasing all the pressure at one time increasing the pressure within the jar.)

When using any bones with meat on it , I was told hot water bath for 3 hours.

@@dianehughes2469 the meat does not go into the broth so does not effect the processing time.

Yes same methods across the board.
