About Simple Little Life:
This channel has sort of turned (inadvertently) into a knife making channel. But the original idea behind what we wanted it to be is this description below:
Videos on our journey to homesteading. With a recent purchase of a little piece of the Alberta prairie, we're looking to sell our nice suburban home in search of a more meaningful life beyond chasing the "American dream" working for some big company and making someone else rich. It's not about the money, it's about getting the most value from the work I do to improving the life of my family.
Some preparedness, DIY, building quality things with your hands, guns, gear, and outdoor exploration.

Making video's for a audience that you can't see can be frustrating. I think most people would like a 1 day build. Personally I enjoy content every day. When I don't see any video's I miss it. I like your content no matter what you do. You are the creator of your own little world. It is hard to please everyone. You need to please yourself and enjoy what you are doing. Most people want knife content that is what they come to see. I watch because I am interested in you work. When you show family, gym workouts, drone's, shooting and other parts of your daily life you bring us into your world. This is why I thank you for the little things you do and not just the knife builds. Thanks for the video. Always
Keep doing daily builds. I watch others as well and by keeping them short and daily I have time to do quick views of other projects that others are doing as well. I don't want to sit for hours watching a few videos. Short and sweet. Keep it up. RUclips knows what works. They get feedback from people who do videos. Its a great working model.
I really like the vlogs instead of a typical build video, because it gives a lot of insight into the problem solving. It also gives a better idea of how long a project actually takes and how much work actually went into it. With a typical build video it comes across as if a project was done in a day even if it took 2 weeks.
I think your doing a great job! If you do a full video build then people will complain about it being too long or not in-depth enough. You do you keep em coming every day!
I have never even considered how these were made - thanks for taking us along for the ride.
+Chop Knives you betcha Craig👍 and a huge thank you to you for making a wonderful podcasts to listen to while I'm working away in the shop👍
I think the compilation at the end would be amazing. For any future followers who stumble across it, it gives them the opportunity to watch the start to finish quickly without having to go through several videos; instant gratification to keep them coming back for more.
Also, I can't believe I didn't think of this the other day when you asked, but you should do a series of knives that mimic the profile of different bird beaks: straight like a kingfisher, curved like an eagle, hooked like a falcon, et cetera.
I don't mind the multi video build at all, I think it allows for more details to be consumed whether it be spoken or just observed by the viewer. I would also say that it's unfortunate that some people might not like it, but do what's best for your channel at this time. Also, loving the Goon t-shirt 👍.
every day vids are a huge commitment so thanks for your efforts, vlog uploads with full build release is a great approach and will surely cater for both youtube camps...ie daily watchers and weekend binges....
Like seeing a video everyday for something after work
wow, these old videos really get nostalgic 😂. still in the shipping container 👌
Your daily videos are the only reason I wake up on the morning please don't stop them lol
Your point about RUclips's algorithm is actually very true, not because I make videos (because I don't have like 10 videos and they're all like 8 months apart lol) but I never knew about your channel until like two weeks ago maybe, so it's definitely working and I'm happy because your channel is great haha
You do you. I totally understand needing to play along RUclips's algorithmic rules. Do what is best for you/family time and your channel. Your content and editing are on point as always. Keep doing you.
I agree that a dedicated build video would be good. Maybe you could vlog the whole build, except for the final reveal. The reason why a separate build video is good, is because newbies and subscribers can then use that 1 video as a reference, instead of 5 videos.
Abid best of both worlds I like your thinking.
Can't wait to see the finished product!
I think the compile vid at the end would be cool
I love it!! Can't wait to see how this turns out.. 👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome. In the uk we can't carry anything other than a friction folder and there aren't as many out there (compared to locking knives) that fit my ideal specifications but now I can make my own. Thanks brilliant vid.
Just saw you on off grid with Doug and Stacy and checking out some of your video and and seeing Channel.
Thanks for sharing this great video adventure.
Have a great day
Do the short videos during the week and recap on the weekend. People that work, have kids, etc, appreciate the condensed version the most. Those of us that have time during the week appreciate something interesting to watch. Thank for putting good vids. Keep on grinding brother. Peace.
The build I've been waiting for!!! Thankyou!
I like the idea of the vlog style series and then the compiled video at the end. You can leave your mistakes in the vlog style (love seeing those, even if you make a lot less of them than I do) and then the full build you can edit them out. Just an idea. Loving your videos though, from all the way over here on Cape Breton Island
Keep the daily content up man. The more the better. Cheers from MA!
Daily vlogs of what's happening that day and maybe include upcoming ideas, follow up on previous projects, viewer knives. Then when they're done do build videos as stand alone videos (day off from the blog that day too 👍)
Alec Sent me! looking forward to digging in and watching all that you have to offer!
I think a general overview of the progress for the day and a more in depth full build video would be cool.
i like longer build videos where a voice over kind of explains the thought process and why you may have done a certain thing. both are nice.
i'm subscribed to a lot of channels and i usually just open tabs of videos i'm gonna watch when they come out and then watch them sometimes days later. so with this habit, i'd absolutely prefer fewer and longer videos.
The friction folder that the winner of that forged in fire episode is my dream knife
this gave me inspiration to make my own , I'll try tomorrow and report back!
It's impressive to see you tackling this task. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Love this music!
After watching your five knives in five days playlist, I decided to try three in three days... I pretty much disappeared from my family for 72 hours. It's an unbelievable amount of work. My hat's off to you! You work fast and you produce great quality, both in the videos and the knives. I say do it however it works for you and your channel will continue to grow, your fans aren't going anywhere, you give us great value. Cheers!
Been wanting to make a folder, and I'm enjoying this. I don't mind all the videos at around 15 mins, and I don't mind hour long vids either, but most people lose interest after 10 mins. However, I reckon most people in the woodworking and knife making community are quite different from the let's play video game community.
Starting into folders is a huge step. Moving parts are always harder to wrap my head around.
Hi Jeremy, first things first, thanks so much for your channel. To answer your opening question, "Would a compiled build video, or videos, be of interest to your viewers?", this viewer says "YES!". I love your presentation style and demeanor when addressing the audience. A build along, with voice-over in say 2 parts would be awesome! Only marginally more awesome might be a build kit with materials similar to what you used, available for purchase of course, or a recommendation as to where a quality kit may be obtained. But I digress, this may be too much to ask. Anywhoo, thanks again for such a great channel!
p.s. Might be worth considering a special edition "Viewer's Knives" episode based on submissions from the build-along. Maybe take submissions for 30 days, or until you reach "x" amount of usable submissions. Pair it with a "tiny" giveaway, say for some stickers or something. Just a thought...
Perfect Video i like thats Fiction Folder Building Serie!
I like the daily videos a lot. Keep that up. My only pet peeve about multi part videos is when publishers don't title their videos with the part number. That's my only thing
No. do what is best for you and your family. If your channel gets more attention and brings more views then do that.
Personally I like the videos every day. I don't watch TV so I have RUclips to live off of. But at the end of the day do what you want to do. Thanks for the hard work and awesome videos!! I hope to start making knifes soon
You had me at "will goon 4 beer". I'm hooked.
+Bobby Kurczewski 😆👍hahaha!
Alec Steele sent me. This looked like a good place to start watching.
love the daily content!! I don't think that the "weekend compilation" video would be nearly as fun as watching all the progress real time, that being said I could be useful for newer ppl who come to the channel to see in one video what that project is all about. Watching a 5 video series of some wacky canuck playing around with power tools and fire can seem a bit much to some ;)
There's a reason why engineers say, "Never sell the prototype!"
It's because the prototype is the one that you have to build before you figure out how to build the one that you want to build.
Great start to what I know will be awesome knife Jeremy. I made two friction folders several years ago following Sugarcreek Forge's build-a-long (check out video 1 to see his design ideas, it's very helpful), and man they are FUN to build. I ended up having to use a file to fine-tune the stop pin location etc, and they turned out well in the end. I can't wait to see the progress you made today!
I think that you'llfind that a longer tang/flipper aids in retention of the blade when opened. I also made my first and only friction folder with a short tang. Another option is to shape it like a bottle opener, so it has dual function.
Abid pretty sure the EDC community (wich i assume watches this sort of stuff) has enough bottle openers 😂👍
Stijn Lombaert but can never find 1 when you need it. 😂👍
tru that
Yes to single vid
I like regular videos 👍🏻 Also I must say you are to be commended, I know this may sound odd but it takes balls to just rock up and make a folder! Pretty sure most of us knife makers would plan our first folder build for months! I know I have 😂
Good luck 👍🏻
Looking forward to seeing this series! Great job so far!
hey Simply Little Life,
I'm a new sub to your channel and what I have seen from other content creators is that they will upload their daily vlog, then for the weekend, they compile all the useful clips into one 20-45 minute video for the viewers who enjoy watching one video straight.
Love your work, keep it up!
I, for one, don't mind the segmented videos. But I will echo some other comments, if those people want the full build, just throw the full build as one video once the whole thing's done. I do have to say though, it's really awesome seeing your creativity, and seeing you challenge yourself lately. Because, this one, this video right here, was your highest production quality I've seen. Keep it up!
+Michael Call thank you so much! I really appreciate it!. I think that's the game plan, compile the footage for a complete build video once it's all done. Thanks for he feedback! Much appreciated👍
Summary build videos would be really cool. It might pull in other kinds of viewers who don't like vlog style videos
I personally like the “weekend wrap-up” idea. When I watch the videos as they come out I like to see the progress and what not but thinking about future me looking back on a specific project it’d be nice to have an entire project in one video for reference.
Thanks for considering your viewers input. I've quit watching many channels (Wranglerstar in particular) because they don't care about our input. I love watching your content everyday but I also enjoy 1(sometimes 2) part build videos. 3 parts or more like Alec Steele has switched to and now I'm watching less of his content. It's really a bummer.
You liked the build process on my instagram, it's a weird one to get the hang of. That looseness could have been the G10 on steel pivot, if the other one was on and screwed in it might not have been so wobbly. You may also need to do a liner of sorts on the pivot, epoxy the liner to the G10, and the screw running through the liner. Just make sure it's just shy of the G10 or else it won't be able to have an adjustable tension.
Your shop looks very clean in most videos. Can you explain how you keep it clean, or show it in a vlog. I know it's boring but useful for us that have shops and cleaning is a drag
I like the single video builds. I also like the multi-video builds. They keep me excited for the next part, and to see the finished product. What you're doing is good with me. I'm easy to please. Be you, do what you want. I wouldn't be following you on RUclips if I didn't like your videos 😉 All that I ask is that you stop showing me up with the pushups! Ha ha 😅
If you hand-make a folder, my opinion is to rough-cut the blade/handle sides and belt-grind all edges square (all parts just squared off) and proceed with the area of the hinge detail FIRST. This facilitates being able to mount them into the jaws of your milling machine vise to do a much better job of fitting things together. When the hinge details are finished, you can then shape and grind your blade and scales. You will never be able to precisely align everything by scribing and center-punching the locations.
Great video!
From alec steele's channel. I'd watch both the vlogs and the full build video
I think a compiled video on the weekend would be great. In the voice over you can do lessons learned and how you would have done things differently, or things that went differently than planned. I think it is a great idea!
Congrats to 100 000 !!!!!!
Awesome! I've been getting ready to build one myself, your videos will be very helpful. Love your channel!
Fun watching your head turn red in the pushup timelapse lol.
Simple little life... In my opinion, The indepth content is much more valuable no matter if it is several parts or videos. As a knifemaker myself the knowledge gained by seeing a searies of videos is more valuable. Unless the video is edited in a way that visually sapports the the build with the needed and appreciated build info so that someone could learn without missing valuable details.... Thank you for your content and indepth explanation on your builds... Martin Moldovan M&S Blades and Blacksmithing... Oh When are you going to do some more forging?????? Cheers........
Tomorrow (today now presumably) don't grind the profile out of the steel until you have your holes done. Cut it to length but leave the machined edges in tact till you have all of your mill work done.
Your design is reminiscent of a Svord Peasant knife. They're a great, reliable knife.
Love the shirt. Played hockey 25 years then referee for 8 after a stinking goalie broke my back. Oh and I am a brewer.
Yey! A folding knife! Make more MUAHAHAHA
Love your videos by the way
love it man. i tried once and failed horribly lol personally i like the multi part videos give me somthin to look forward to each day *
i like this vid one of my favorites i ike see your thought process . kepp up the good work
Love the shirt! oh youtube... Love seeing the why's and thought process.
Cool t shirt. I miss hockey.
Good thought process during the mock up. For your sake as well as future builders a single video would be best suited.
I once made a friction folder and I just yolo'd it and it works
+Little blade Maker hahaha! Yolo'd it! That's awesome👍 that's the best way sometimes isn't it? Cheers!
finaly!!!!
I like the daily vlogs :)
Your channel had become one of my favourite channels since you started the daily vids/vlogs :)
Before that I had only whatched your knife builds and now I think Ive watched like 90% of your videos, you have come a long way :) Btw I love that you use your ATV trailer that you build way back :D
The long video would be nice, for those of us who watch and learn along side you. One video = a lesson.
People who watch in bulk might also appreciate one solid interesting video.
With builds yeah a compilation with voice over would be cool.
Just vlog you build and number them to make them easy to follow. That way you can keep on track (topic) for the build and edit other stuff at your leisure.
Do both... do the vlog once aday... and do a combined build vid in the end... that would satisfy everyone
Keep putting content out every day, but when you can you should take a bit of footage every day towards larger builds!
Great shirt! Hilarious
Hey mate, where do you get your steel from?
Do a vlog series of the project that you will be doing and at the end of the project release a full build video....
Like if you agree
Do what you gotta do to keep your subs/ ad/ views up. You can't make everyone happy all the time. Recap voice-over video might also trigger some thoughts that did not surface while you where doing the daily grind, pun intended. Be you, we like that. Even if you are like, "SQUIRELL!" and go fly your drone through some seagulls. All good.
this, we dont pay you, youtube does, so you have to play by youtubes rules. and this is your job, we aint the boss, do what you got to, to make your living
I'm pro vlog. Look forward to it every day❤️
+Nelson sweet. Thanks👍
Awesome that was my suggestion. Check out sugarcreek forge Tim has a build along we done with the friction folder that was great. Also if you get a chance watch some of the stories about Bamba Forge in Uganda. Thanks for the videos
Alec Steele sent me. Good channel, i just subbed...
if it were up to me, i'd have you carry on as you are but once a build is done, either compile the footage to make a full build video or just stick them all in individual playlists for each build. that would be easier i imagine. it's a nightmare trying to sift through your vlogs trying to find the relevant ones for each build. it'll be a lot of work for you to make a whole new video with all the footage, i'd be happy with just each build simply separated into individual playlists
Looks ike the Sugar Creek forge build along knife from a year or so ago.
Brother if you upload one a day or ten a day, ill be watching. By the way thanks for showing the failures also.
Wow i want to make a shop like that what do you think are some good enough tools st make some knives i just have a drill press and some drill bits but just reguler drill bits yours looks breets pro knife maker equipment hahaha
if you end up with slop or if your knife pivots too far and doesnt stop where you want, you can enlarge the stop pins and sometimes that saves the piece. also I found a product from USAknifemaker.com called CamStop which is a stop pin that you can adjust. I have never tried it but it seems like a genius idea for folding knives.
Jason, why did it take you sooooo long to make this folding kni
Com'on knife , Bruh. Because of content? Tonight looks really good 👌👍. Nice work.
im not paying your salary, so do whatever it takes to make your money. Im sure we all understand.
He only did 99 push-ups how dare he! His videos are to short they are to long to much music......
Nice music.
lol love the video btw who else thought they had opened a phlydaily video accidentally when that music started?
+Angelo Barker hahaha, thanks! 👍
+SimpleLittleLife Jeremy you mentioned the FiF episode where they made friction folder...The tall bearded guy in the kilt who talked to himself...sang....and ate a hot pepper...runner up..
.that's my friend and mentor Stephan Fowler of Fowler Blades and on twitch as wickedbowie.
Alec sent me by to say hi
friction folder kiridashi, RH model. need one, STAT!
Looks 'boot like troy crowder and tie domi chuckin' 'em there ey? circa 91-92ish yea??
