Making a spoon carving knife from an old planer blade
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- I've never made a hook-shaped knife or even used one for that matter. I have a bunch of planer blades that are no longer suitable to planing wood and figured I'd see if I could make a knife for hollowing out the bowl of a spoon. This project was actually easier than I thought it would be. Enjoy.

What a great idea to use a planner blade to make a spoon knife. I will be definitely doing this.
Thanks so much
thanks i enjoyed watching your video...............just have to work out the re-hardening part now and i can try to make one
Thank you so much! I hope it goes well for you. Cheers 👍
Awesome man, another knifemaker who's keen on spooncarving, I got the bug to, love it, have you had a look at kolrosing? Now there's another video, kolrosing knife!!
Came out really nice.
sweet job
Thank you!
Great stuff as always -
Reminds me of the old diresta videos, except with captions!
I'm curious if you ever experience higher warping potential right at your quench line? I've noticed over the time of watching your videos for the past year that you don't always fully quench the handle, in this case in particular with such thin steel I would almost certainly anticipate a warp where the handle didn't hit the quench. Any thoughts or tips on avoiding this? I'll even get them sometimes on the very tip of my handle that either doesn't make it entirely in the quench or hits a little later so it has already cooled a bit before reaching the quench. I think this all just comes with practice but wanted to get your thoughts on it. Thanks for all of your inspiration and education!
Now I know how my Russian wood spoons were made. Also this video will satisfy all the Forge in Fire fans...
1. Forge...check
2. Hammer action...check
3. Oil quench...check
4. Tempering steel...check
This build did not use stock removal method...it was forged therefore it will keeeel
New hobby or just want to try something new with carving?
Did you build your forge yourself? If so what did you use? Do you have a vid on it? Great curved blade. Looks great, only thing I would add to mine if it were mine would be a hole at the end to hang it.
Looks like an air compressor cylinder.
👍
Another great video, almost therapeutic. I really enjoy seeing a variety of different types of cutlery being made. 👍
Got yo admit, didnt know it would turn out, just saw the result on IG
Hahaha, thanks. I didn't really think it would either but it's good enough for at least one spoon 😆👍
@@Simplelittlelife just as your modo, keeping simple and let it rip. Thanks for everything, Jeremy
Easier if you carve green wood and cross the grain.
A beautiful job with good relaxing music.
I made myself some kind of hook knives from 10mm, 13mm and 22mm ring spanners ( wrenches), just ground out the inner and then edged the outer part all the way round.
After, I had the idea to make another with a 16mm and then angled the ring over at 30° from straight so that I can draw cut from a deeper bowl.
If possible plz share ...pics .... at least....so that we can get an idea for our works...😊
@@KIRANZOROCan't post photos on RUclips - unfortunately. Perhaps he can post on fb or Instagram.
All I need is planer blades and all those tools. I already have pliers. Lol
You're almost there hahaha
There's probably simpler ways to do it, i don't have all those tools and still make knives/tools
Not so sharp, love the process thou 😊
New planer blades are even better yet. 😆❤️
I like this style of video. Different, but equally satisfying. Would love seeing you making more tools like this 👍🏻
Thank you so much! 👍
Very nicely made. Both the tool and the video!
That specialty tool falls right on the top of the "never going to use it, but I realy want it" tools' category.
Need a tool, make a tool !
Nice work and video. How many times did you have to do the annealing process? I know those blades are super hard
Just once. My hardening process didn’t get it as hard as before the annealed it but it did hold the edge fairly well.
Parabéns
Muito obrigado pela aula
no corta niuna wuea po
Sweet design and up cycling too.
If you can make that, make a honing and polish station to tune up those cutters a few times before retirement. Could be a good video? ✌
The first three knives I made were from planer blades from a lumber mill. I was able to make full tang knives with no forging just material removal. I wish I could find more of them for free like the first 2 planer blades but I live hundreds of miles from there now and the friend who hooked me up has since passed away.
That was a sweet deal! Sorry to hear about your friend. Cheers👍
Nicely done! Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day.
It is so very gratifying when I watch a video, and I can say "I have that... I have that... I've always wanted to do that...", and know I'm gonna make a hook knife next week
12:17 come on. I’m not the only one who ent “Huh huh...”
Hey nice video. great seeing that you are well.
What a relaxing video different i like it
All of your builds are cool no surprise this one's amazing
Thank you so much! I appreciate that a lot and thanks for taking the time to watch 👍
@@Simplelittlelife what type of belts were you using on the one by thirty sander, my belt seem to go away extremely fast
cool
Thank you!
Wow~! Beautifull skill!
Thank you!
just awesome! Chur 🤙🏼
Working with machines 4h, which cost more than 2500$, to produce a jig (25$), which gives u the possibility to carve a wooden spoon (2$)......is nice😊👍
its the journey, not the destination
@@DM-xm5qu I know🤷🏻♂️
Here we go again - Miserable Marty. Negative Norris. Really... The Youth Of Today.
Yeah because that's the only thing you can make with those machines. The absolute only thing. They have no other value.
Beautiful job thank you!
Nice work and nice video too.
Thank you !
Beautiful job
Nice...
looks good!
jalouse what a nice tools there love to see the work sir.!
Much better ways and much better videos on this subject. Not even a A for effort.
Shouldn't the blade be more curved than that?
No. There are many different sizes of these and some are even wider than this. This one works great for a general wooden spoon.
Sue, do you mean across the blade rather than end to end, to make the cut through the wood smoother with less chatter? I was wondering about this (after watching Lee Stoffer modify a Mora spoon knife) but didn’t wish to sound churlish for the time, thought and effort put into this video, especially if I’d missed that element of the process.
@@petersmedley459Peter, it's a year now since I posted that comment and I have since found out that spoon knives come in many configurations.
Save $40 now, thanks mora for idea carving spoon.. But wait, i need buy lots of stuff to do that's
I don’t do this to save money. I do this because I want to learn and enjoy figuring things out. For money, 100% buy the Mora.
No sharpness
Nope, you’re wrong.
Do you have access to green/fresh wood? It makes spoon carving much more enjoyable.
Great idea for blade material. And now I can be Captain Hook for the next fancy dress.
what would you charge for one of these ?
Great work! The handle insert was a great idea! Do you think it will hold up with the epoxy or would it need a pin? Also would you sharpen both sides if you made it again or is there a reason that's not a good idea? Thanks for the video
Hey Ronan, the bevel just being on the outside makes it much more difficult for the knife to nose dive while carving a spoon, kuksa, bowl etc. It's kinda the last tool oftentimes to touch the work, so it needs to be able to not easily gouge the wood when you're making the last cuts. As for sharpening in the future, you won't take the inside to a stone, you'll just hit the bevel, which leaves a burr on the inside. To get rid of that you'll use a piece of leather with buffing compound, and that'll polish the inside, get rid of that burr, and make the cutting edge that much finer. I kinda rambled but I hope this helps
As for the first quest question, epoxy will hold up fine with the kind of work it'll be doing. Couldn't hurt to pin it, but its really not super necessary if that makes sense
I bought a vintage hand carved wooden spoon at a flea market for 15 cents yesterday. Just saying
Such a stupid comment.
