    2 things. 1st, clamp thin metal. I was just thinking when I saw you drill, man if that thing catches, then BAMM. Safety first.
    2nd, and I'm not sure if you are aware of this and I hope others find it helpful. When drilling hardend steel, your gonna burn up bits. There is a very easy an effective method. It's called spot annealing. Simply put, take something hard, I use an old pushrod from a car. Put it in the chuck of your drill press, turn the rpms up to the max. Mark the spots where you want your holes. Bring the spinning pushrod, or bad drill bit or whatever you have down onto the spot with pressure. You will see the steel start to turn colors. Once it makes that tell tale purplish ring, the area has been annealed and can be drilled quite easily with the cheapest bits. This will only anneale a very small area.

    Always position the thing you want to drill on the left side of you. That way it will run into the drill post and not your hand first!

  • @andyp5706
    @andyp5706 4 года назад +3

    I found that if you are using previous blades to make your own blade it helps to heat treat the places where you are going to drill your rivet holes. A nice cherry red & then allow to cool. This helps to soften up the handle area and hence it is easier to drill.

    I was advised by an old time served engineer to use cold water when drilling spring steel. i used to build double axle trailers and used cut down leaf springs for the suspension. Drilling the centre bolt was tricky until told about the cold water coolant!

    Lovely. I watch a lot of 'restore' vids on YT though, and was thinking that the old saw still had life in her, with some TLC.
    A good fillet knife is wonderful though. Nice job. I'd be very happy to take that fishing/camping.

      Fish Tail TV grab a few carbide bits. It'll cut the steel and not ruin your HSS bits. Always use a clamp, either to hold stock or bump against it so it doesn't do what it did. Cool knife also, just refine your methods a little for safe production. Cheers sir!

But always remember that if you do something there is always someone going to hate,bitch,complain,and /or talk down your creation so "f" them. keep doing what your doing. Thats an awesome knife and great video. Many thanks to you and your talent. You earned a subsciber.

    Hello! Nice knife i have one piece of advise. Hardend steel is very difficult to drill and before I learned how to do it I burned up several drill bits. I searched youtube and learned this trick. Next time you need to driil get a pan of water and suspend the blade part under water to keep it cool then use a torch to heat up the spots you need to drill. Heat the spots to a glowing red and set aside to cool. This will take the temper out in those areas and make it much easier to drill whole the blade part will retain it's hardness.

    Thanks for the video. Wasn't sure if you beveled both sides, the speed was hard to follow, but not boring. The reason I inquire is that fillet knives are beveled on one side only.

    • @Take_And_Make
      @Take_And_Make  6 лет назад

      Thank you for your comment!
      I did put a bevelle on both sides, because all the fillet knives I had before (manufactured) were done that way. But I've seen one fillet 🔪 bevelled from one side only, Japanese one. Although it wasn't flexible like mine and quite thick, 1/4" approximately.

    you can soft the handle part by putting the blade part in water and torching the holes areas, so drilling is way more easy and less dangerous

  • @williamharris1076
    @williamharris1076 5 лет назад +2

    I like the fact you took something you were not using and made something you could,blade has the flex to fillet fish and if its sharp enough will be fine. I would have used smaller pieces of brass tube to hold it together and made a sheath out of a old belt ??

    I have made a few of these and ruined a drill bit or two drilling through the tang. You can apply heat to the site of the tang holes until you get to a blue-purple color using a propane torch which softens the tang enough to drill through easily without compromising the hardness of the cutting blade.

    I enjoyed the video but I was surprised when you went through the effort of making a knife by hand to end up using a pull-through carbide sharpener at the end. I know sharpening is a bit of a different skill set than machining and woodwork, but id argue that sharpening is easier because of tool cost.
