have you ever been on forged in fire. you would be brilliant on that show
So that means, that once you forge your billet you first have to normalize the billet before attempting to heat treat. Is that correct?
@@daniellindsay7651 yes
Is rebar any good for forging?
@@daniellindsay7651 depends on what your forging and what type of rebar you got
Work in IT and watch a lot of RUclips but your video is the first one to ever get me to sit through a VPN advertisement. Well played!
"Only the mower blades are usable steel"
TIME FOR SOME TUMS, MY FRIENDS
Super cool project, I love the final look.
🤟
I love that your projects are always different. It's always some slightly off the wall thing I wouldn't expect. I dig that.
Dude, I'm so happy this popped up, me and my friend was thinking about doing something similar, only we're amateurs lol
Hey welcome aboard this channel
Is amateur hour you’ll be right at home!
RUclips is listening aha
@Hugo Adrian Wilkins is that.... is that supposed to be an insult?
We're all noobs to be honest. It is insanely difficult to account for impurities and other flaws when repurposing older metals. There are some tests but research into manufactured materials by brand and/or age past 100ish years exclude factors like exact chemical composition on origin or weathering and microfractures, so on. It's really trial and error in most, not all, cases. Using the same grind test in the video will give a good clue for carbon, but chromium, phosphates, etc... a bit more challenging. You can still use your best judgment in the heat treating process based on color and your own observations.
@White Marlin It should be sufficient. Im new at it myself but I've made a couple things out of old lawnmower blades and they got hard.
Love it!!!! You are the best comedy smith I have ever seen!! You are also the only one I have seen so good job on cornering the market on that!!!!
"Handled vigorously with dirty hands" is my punk rock band's name.
Ewwww
The gloves are really gonna bother me. They’re on the wrong feet!
😆
I love the info both the fun and the "real" ..... I've learned quite a bit about different techniques from you and I wear my Green Beetle T shirt proudly!!! Keep the fire burning young man!!!!
Appreciate the laughs with the Nord VPN promo! That was clever and very on point.
nice job on the ad slot! It could have been horrible, but it wasn't, I didn't even skip it! I wish more channels put some effort into making their ads less painful!
I absolutly lost it when the quench tank ended up being too small. Ive done the exact same thing. All you can do is have a good laugh and try again hahahaha.
'Bout time you are making preppin' weapons
That was awesome. It's also the first time I've ever sat thru a vpn advert, too funny. And, somehow I always knew you were a Trekker.
I'm also a person that tends to make things, use my hands etc. Sometimes a project just fights you all the way. This one seemed to be one of those.
This was pretty nice and I like the way you used the mower handle for the handle on the blade, sort of keeps their souls together.
Man im fairly new to ur channel but let me be the first to tell u i lobe how u explain everything u are doin in ur forges. Funny, informative, and fun to watch. U have my sub for sure bud.
🙏
This was a ton of fun to watch! Another really cool project. I love how the machete turned out with the forge finish and mower bolt but cap! Great job with the project and videography
Just realized I've watched this and liked it a while back. Gonna go watch the hog hunter one. Long live the Green Beatle
“What are you gonna do with that lawnmower blade?”
“I reckon I’m gonna kill you with it...umm hmm”
These shoes fit like a glove!"
Thumbs up for putting Nature in its place!
Looks like a heck of a zombie killer! That handle turned out awesome!
Ty mr beard!
I loved where this video went! I was expecting to see a generic lawn mower blade machete! This turned out awesome! Really cool how you incorporated all of the different parts of the lawnmower. A+
Looks like a fine blade for bringing the NCR to heel. Ave, true to Ceasar.
:P
You broke my heart. I've been using the same A.L.M. Works mower my great great grandfather used in 1890's. After a little oiling and the turning of two screws, it's been working like new for the last 10 years on my 2 acre yard and still has original parts. I'm nearly 40, no kids, so my nieces and nephews could maybe stretch its use another 100 years. The screws that adjust the bottom blade are only half turned. However, my biggest gripe is the dinky tang on your blade. Maybe it wasn't rounded off enough to prevent stress fractures and allowing material to take up handle weight is okay.
Overall, fun video, I'll never regret subscribing. You edit the boring parts of the forging process and keep the important bits in; quenching, normalizing, solving the mystery of the materials. Thank you for this post, but I'm still going to grump at you for chopping up that beauty. (maybe gearing was all rusted and beyond repair... yeah. I can sleep now.) Best of luck and keep doing your thing the way you do.
they're $45 on eBay you should start rescuing them
Beautiful machete, your craftsmanship is mesmerizing and your explanations are really helpful! Always a delight watching your videos!
Bout a month ago I learned the lesson of why not wearing pants when forging is a bad idea the hard way
Excellent work and LOVE THE VPN clip. One of the few times I enjoyed an ad. Nice work using different parts of the lawnmower. Really enjoyed this.
Nice to see yah again brother... Awesome rugged lookin zombie apocalypse chopper... Love that handle though...
I never would have guessed that they made Vibrams for welders. NEAT
Thanks RUclips for unsubing me from this channel for no reason at all 😒 had to resubscribe. Awesome build love how it turned out!
Bring on the Zombies and the yard work. Thanks, awesome video.
Thank You for making an old looking original tool (machete ) and you actually went out and chopped a tree with it... I have seen way too many mirror polish blades and tool restorations ..I have 2 old machetes I restored and used gun bluing on the metal and used old wood on one of the handles
yes it's been so long ur my favorite black Smith to watch I watch while hand sanding
I hate mowing lawns, but I love manual mowers.
Practical, rustic and looks cool. Well done.
Nice work! Your humor and editing skills are really coming through. Very entertaining.
This was a wholesome edutainment. Thank you.
Nice work on the knife bro 🤪😆 well done bro 🤪😆👏👏👍👍👍👍👍💪💪🤓🤓🔨
Thanks for the video I always enjoy your humor.
One of the better looking lawn mower blade machetes I've seen! Damn that nature and that Kevin!
Down w nature and trees and stuff I hope it all burns!!!
I really like your videos. Some fun while in the shop is always appreciated.
Great video Mr Beetle - thank you.
Super interesting project and great editing. Thank you
Damn this was good thanx man i got my green beetle fix in. I did laugh my ass off a few times
Nice Job Steve!
Best Nord vpm add spot ever! 😆
🤟. Your vids are looking great did you get a new camera?
@@GreenBeetleThank you... still running the Panasonic g7 just got better lighting into the shop :-)
The bloom stationary blade that the blades stroll when curing should be good for making blades
Putting nature in it's place😂😂😂.....love your work
Cooles Teil!
Schwerter zu Pflugschare und Rasenmäher endlich zu etwas Sinnvollem.
Und schon wird die Welt ein bißchen besser! 😄👍🏻👋🏻
If you cut a x on the rivets Steve with cut off wheel they chisel right off easily. Looks good as always.
Oh cool ty
Nice job dude. Love the refurbished steel builds!
I didn't know you where a star Trek fan you just earned a ton more respect
that sponsor time got me cracking
This looks incredible. Awesome work brother.
Love this attitude!
Goddamnit, I've never enjoyed a commercial more and laughed so much.
Like it ! Everything doesn't need to be pretty or fancy. Very nice blade!!
Wow great video as already Steve! You are the best.
That thing looks so badass
Dude u made my day always waiting for the alerts!!
Good vid. I love how when you mess up its almost apart of the plan. Lol keep up the good work.
Came out pretty nice considering the material👍
gorgeous result.
I want to see a purely decorative brass knife
Looks fantastic!
I wanna see some green beetle vs big dog forge!
That Nord ad was pretty funny
Maaan!!! A word from our sponsor!!!
Nestor knoxs was just asking me if I had a extra set of tires for the same mower!!! Hell, I told em I also have extra blades too!!!
Congrats 🎉🎊🎈!!!
Love the intro!!!🥴👍🏻👊🏼🙏🏻 🤾🏼
Ps. If you didn’t have your forging gloves 🧤 on your feet through you intro, hmmm 🤔. Loved it!!!
Nice job as usual
Oh boy I have been waiting for this since you hinted about it in the razor video.
Always brighten my day lol 👍
Pretty beautiful work, dude! Looks great! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
You make great things and always get me laughing
Great job fella, as always.
🙏
Job well done Mr , I learn something about "Test high carbon steel " ha ha
Spark testing is tried and true.
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya 🙏
Enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up
Looks kewl, I like what you did with the handle, maybe a larger spacer as a hand guard, great build and blade.
I live in Far North Queensland Australia and have a rainforest jungle block. Our terrain brushing a track, can take a day to make it 200 metres (650 feet). Our preference tools are Cane Knives and more old school early explorers used Brush Hooks. It’s been impossible to find a decent Brush Hook in recent times but Fiskars have comes out with a long and short handle and they’re superb actually. We (and every other Aussie and farmer who lives in jungle regions) will testify, that after trying out a range of machetes, they all suck. No curve, weight in wrong place and whether it’s our vegetation and fact our timber is 2 or more times harder than any other wood in the world, don’t know. But they just are not as effective. Also when in jungle it’s vines of every description and a plant we have, terrible shit named ‘Wait-O-While’ (literally, early explorers called it, wait a while, because it’s a vine with millions of fish hooks running the length of it and when it just brushes you, you have to back out if it, painfully slowly), which Machetes just can’t deal with, you need a hook section, to bunch up the vines and then to tug on it to cut them all at once. You have no knuckles left with machetes.. This one you made, too light, too straight, too short and when you need to tackle something bigger you need a hung handle which you can use two hands with. You have so many awesome tools in ya limb eater deadly workshop, have a crack at something useful like a brush hook.. Cheers mate. Thanks for video.
55 to 57 is a really good hardness for a machete or billhook, Ive worked with them for years and the amount of times they hit pebbles and rocks even in experienced hands is phenomenal.
So a little softer means the edge bends rather than cracking or worse snapping the blade.
I would sharpen to about 400 but it does a fantastic job of of doing what its supposed to.
absolutely love that blade brother
You should probably change the description to lawn mower blade because using an entire lawn mower would make a pretty big blade
Thought you would save more of the blade steel with precision cutting, but great video
Thick is better with saplings in our northern woods and a hook nice with vines and berry stickers.
Thanks
As always, a pleasure to watch your work. Am I the only one, when you were cutting and stacking the blade pieces, who thought, "why not throw in some 15N20 just for fun?"
Awesome project! Love your videos
Feels like it's been too long since you've uploaded, great video!
Looks great
I must admit that at first I was sad you cut the square head off the bolt used on your handle. Then I was happy after you employed a square nut to cinch everything down! Good job. Hey, a new grinder! No more rigid 7" and now a dewalt?! Moving up in the world, I see
I like it, noice. Gotta say though the old timey wagon wheel is still my favorite
Totally choked on my beer for the gloves thing
Ha, I forge in sandals all the time because it so freaking hot here in California. I'm thinking I should try the gloves some time! 🤣🤣🤣
Very Cool Machete !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To be fair regarding the HRC, a lot of great machetes are actually tempered rather low so people can sharpen them using a normal file. A hard machtete is great for one day trips into the forest but if it really is about taking it on a week long trip I would rather have a softer machete and a file, easier to sharpen and more forgiving for muck ups.
I love the handle shape.
Amusing and informative, I like.
Take some old boots, rip the soles out and just use the uppers? Why not leave the rivets in and get a surprice in the end?😊
Teaching nature a lesson it won't soon forget.
I forgot those lawnmower exist 😂
You could use the rest of the reel mower for some lawn art. Try going to your local golf course, they may have some old reels laying around that most likely have some better high carbon steel.
I liked the video cuz of the brilliant promo start 😂
Don't know if I've said it before but I love your videos
🙏
