Видео

In the third video I have removed quite a bit of the sheath that enclosed the handle, some of the handle has to be inside the sheath to act as a catch point.

Scott Hutchinson yes I definitely was more referring to a lot of the leather “bushcraft” sheaths that a lot of people seem to be into these days. I love the design of yours, and the video. I just thought this was a good place to ask other knife loves their opinion, more then i was actually referencing your video. Have a great day, and thanks for posting

Sorry, one handed camera operations is not my specialty. If I can answer any questions about that process I would be glad to.

@@lagnafaff do you plan to make any more videos? I get a lot of deep scratches when filling. As you go up the bevels do you switch to a finer file?

I use a double cut for the majority of the filing, I do have a finer single cut that I have used to remove the deeper scratches before sanding however I have found that a small and cheap wet stone is the easiest way to clean up the deep scratches on the bevel. You can run it the whole length of the bevel or just use it like a pencil eraser in smaller areas.

At 1:53 of the video you can see the small piece of wet stone sitting by the Sharpe. I don't have any current plans to make any knives or videos, hoping life will allow hobbies to resume next year.

rickd248 it failed to meet my hydration expectations so it had to be removed from the gene pool.

And how did you get the pipe insulation to stay flat

Dustin Pahl life is easier with a double cut, you can file in either direction.

Oh ok thanks

Thomas Starkey you will still be able to get a plunge line. Not having teeth on the edge of the file may be to your advantage, it will assist in keeping you from walking your plunge line back while you are filing. If all else fails trial and error on a scrap of metal and see how it works for you.

Scott Hutchinson Thank you sir. it's much appreciated.

gary gibbs You should check out my channel, I built a slightly less crude version with some creature comforts.

Cody Maasen I raise the eyebolt back up to a steep angle and gradually lower it for each side. Once I am at the center line and pretty even on both sides I lower the eyebolt one turn and file each side at that height. With a homemade jig it will never be 100% even but it is close enough you can't tell.

Scott Hutchinson So you start from the top on side one. Move down. File. Move down. File. Till you are at the right spot. Flip Then go all the way to the top and repeat back down making roughly the same adjustments on the way down. Just trying to summarize.

Cody Maasen pretty much, file side one until I am at the center line, flip it and file side two until I am at the center line, then lower the eyebolt one turn and file both sides at that height.

I use cheap paint from Wal-Mart. I seal it with a spray crafts enamel. In my experience for the best adhesion you have to do multiple thin costs of paint.

Last question, I promise =) Can't seem to find this green sewer pipe in the thickness you describe. Wondering if there might be a number/identification printed on the pipe itself? Looks like the perfect thickness for the sheath. Wish there was an actual schedule "30". No such luck. Thanks again for your patience/support. George

+George Mohr no worries about asking questions, I am more than happy to answer them. Unfortunately it's not labeled schedule 30, I more likened it to a thickness between actual schedule 20 and schedule 40 pipe. I have the pipe laying behind my house and will look at it tonight and see what it says. I'm not sure where you live but you can check a Tractor Supply or a "farmers" type of store and see if they sell schedule 20 sewer drain, it is actually a preferred thickness for these sheaths.

Thanks again Scott ... Please take a look at the pipe later when time allows. In the meantime, I'll try the tractor supplies, etc. I'm in Northern California ... it just shouldn't be this difficult ... must be me having another Senior Moment =)

+George Mohr I did a Google search and found what they are calling "PVC Drain and Sewer Pipe ASTM D-2729" It's not giving a schedule but I believe this is what you would be looking for.

P.V.C Tático vc tá um mestre já tá dando muita dica bacana aq no br pra gente

Absolutely, I made one for my hatchet. It's basically a cover for the edge and I used elastic cord to secure it behind the hatchet head.

Thanks great videos also made my first sheath today

It's 3/4" thick, if you Google search "chilled pipe insulation" you will find lots of options.

Thank you!

In the first 15 seconds I claimed to have received my ideas from several videos I watched not just one and more than once said this isn't my idea but what I built for myself. Thank you for the comment.

+William McBride gough got his jig from some one else

@ William McBride So by that measure, every car designed everywhere should have an explicit credit to Karl Benz since he invented the first automobile... So long as he isn't running around advertising that he invented it from scratch, and he's the originator of all things like it, and any others are stolen from him, then he is well within fair use and not doing anything wrong.

Nobody Uknow I agree with your point, and not trying to be a nit picky ass hole, but Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot was the first person to design an automobile capable of human transport... it was steam powered.

^_^ designing however is not creating... and to be considered to have invented something, the usual prerequisite is it existing when you're done.

It's the only way to live life!

Here in the states it comes either white or that green color. The key is finding the thinnest walled pipe you can, schedule 20 is the best.

+Scott Hutchinson Ahhh no worries mate just wondered if it was painted or something special thanks mate. Great vid by the way.

+James M Thank you very much!

Thanks for watching! I do, I made the knife in this video.

Thank you, you should check out the video I uploaded called "New filing jig" made creature comfort changes to it.

We typically use sch 20 sewer drain pipe, some of the new pipe we got is a little thicker. The key is to heat it slow and thoroughly. What are you using to heat it up?

Thank you very much Jeremy, I was worried that even though I know what I am doing I wouldn't do a good job of showing it or talking about.

A friend of mine works for a large university and happened to come across some scraps for me and thought they may work. It is chilled water pipe insulation, it comes in different thicknesses and diameters so depending on the size of your press. If you have any additional questions let me know and thanks for watching!

Scott Hutchinson Thanks!

Did you watch the video? He tells you at 5:00

Absolutely, should have a knife ready here soon and will make a sheath for it.
