I have been anxiously awaiting a new video. Glad to see you post again. Always enjoy your videos. I’ve forged out a handful of Old South Forge inspired blades myself. You learned me a few things. Thanks, and keep posting.
Glad to see another post Chad. Cameraman getting better at his job too. He’ll probably become a talented smith himself as your narration is valuable instruction. My dad used to talk like you as he worked and I didn’t know at the time he was passing out hundred dollar bills. I listened but sometimes I find myself trying to remember what he said about… That’s another nice little blade by the way.
@@oldsouthforge831 Thank you. As spring comes in and work around the house gets busier spare time gets shorter. So, no pressure, eh. However we will be looking forward to that episode. (from Ireland).
It’s good to be back with a video. I appreciate my viewers and enjoy putting out the videos even though I don’t have the time I would like to devote to them. Thank you for watching!
Nice work again! Enjoy the videos, I've made 20 some knives in the last 20 plus years and envy your finish abilities as forged, maybe I need to slow down..lol. your blade to finished tang steps are very well done.
Another good looking knife Chad I just put a deer antler handle on a patch knife today I used JB Weil to secure the tang in the antler I don’t know how the pewter is going to react to the JB first time useing it with pewter.
That hot pewter might fuss a little bit if the jb weld is not completely cured out and hard. You might use a little sawdust. Sprinkle some fine wood dust down on top of the jb weld so the pewter don’t contact it.
Love your work it reminds me of the woodberry style that H. House did. I was looking for videos to inspire me to get back to the shop and I hit pay dirt with yours:) Thank you
Just the inspiration I need to get the forge going this weekend! Simple yet elegant, great work! If I could make a request, can you do a deer leg bone handle? I have a couple that I want to try but would like to see your version. Thanks for another great video.
i have a request can you make from a file a traditional flint and steel tinder boxs knife the knives where made to be able to strike flint all in one knife and were put in Hudson bay Tabaco tins back in the 1840s by mountaineer they were a specialty item made by smith on request by a induvial there is only few exciples of it iv ever seen in my time great video
@@oldsouthforge831 thank you sir there is no black smith videos about the tinder boxes flit striker knife the only examples iv seen one them being by a Irish man that had bushcraft channel and examples of them in old western manuscripts and m a new sub and hello from good old wv
I just get them from anywhere I can. A lot of people give me antler racks or I find them at flea markets sometimes or some from deer me and Madon have hunted. I don’t straiten them I just look for the right ones. Out of 4 whole racks I might only get one piece that’s right for a handle. However I have straighten a few in the past by boiling them in salt water. As son. As they get soft I put them in a vice and crank down. They are like rubber at that point and will bend easily under the power of the vice. BUT sometimes they will break.

Great videos. I'm going to try to make me an anvil out of a railroad track and try to forge me a knife. I'm learning a lot by watching your videos.

Enjoyed it Chad! I always learn from watching you work.
Great to see you back again. Missed your videos.
