Been a while, hasn't it? Today I'm making a knife from a bearing race from my dad's utlity truck. It also has a brass bolster which is something I've never done before.
That's a good idea. Of course, one problem is that I don't think it is expanding my skills at all. I'm getting practice and experience, but it hardly is any challenge at all.
It’s really refreshing to see a regular ol’ blacksmith that gets the job done without having to have a 40X40 fully insulated top of the line shop with $100,000 worth of specialty tools that are only good for one thing. Thank you for showing everyone who is thinking about getting into forging that they can do it.
Thank you for your kind words. The best way to start is to just start. There will always be fantastic tools and shops to desire, but all that is useless without fundamentals, and you can't really appreciate those things until you know what it's like without them.
I'm afraid I don't know. I only have experience with the bearings I have gotten from here or China. I would guess they would be good, but I would recommend testing to find out.
All that growth in your shop are those extremely rare steel tree’s that you unknowingly planted with metal shavings.
Nice work
Thanks!
Film part of making a gate and explain how this job is expanding your skills. I will watch it for sure!

This is a beautiful piece is there anyway I could buy one or can someone point me to one that is similar to this
Well, I may start an Etsy shop, so if you are interested in buying something like this then stick around.

Damn it, I was hoping your real voice was like the first 5 seconds. I feel let down..... cool video though.
Lol.
came from ZNA am a beginner blacksmith
Welcome! Thanks for coming.
Came from zna, which video is the wrench knife
Just made it public!
What kind of wood did you use for the handle
Bloodwood! Guess I may not have mentioned it. There are some other really nice red woods you can find as well. Bloodwood tends to be brittle.
@@caveofskarzs1544 the exact kind I'm about to turn on my lathe for a fire steel handle
@@joshuatichota5046 Hope it turns out well! It's a beautiful wood.
Thanks , bro. I been wanting to add a bolster to my knife designs and was looking for a tutorial. This really helped !
I'm glad! Of course, there are probably better ways of doing it as I was just guessing what to do. . .
Ha ! I was gonna do pretty much the same thing !
what a beautiful knife...
Thank you!
Yay a new video can't wait for more!!
I will be making more! (Without as huge of gaps between.)
