    Nick:Firstly, I love your channel. You and the Zednaught Alpha have really inspired me to get my hands dirty and express creativity in some amazing ways. Second, I thought I'd recommend making some sort of protective item. You've shown us how to make rebar knives, tongs, arrowheads, and now a fork. I'd love to see a scrap metal buckler or similar item. Thanks, A fan and upcoming craftsman.

    I'll be doing this all with a file, a belt sander, and a hacksaw, seeing as I don't have an angle grinder. Thanks for inspiring me!

    Johnnyred here big fan of your Chanel. So got a challenge build for you. Chop stick cross bow. I was thinking bout using the grove from a tongue &grove piece of wood paneling but u can use what ever. Chop sticks are just such a common thing it be cool to see some thing that can shoot them. Could even be spring powered. Have to figure a weighted arrow tip ,flights so the can fly right. Well give it a pounder.

    Fork from rebar: Refork!
    If you really want to make rebar go full circle, make concrete finishing tools from rebar.

  • @michaelmichael8406
    @michaelmichael8406 6 лет назад

    That some nice smooth work, both at the forge and with the grinder. Smoothness with simple forms is underrated, but a sign of good control. FWIW, the steel doesn't need to be anywhere near red-hot for the beeswax to melt and form a good finish. Although if you just like the flames, that's cool too. :)

    Yes, but can you make a spork? :P I'm curious as to why you didn't cut the tines with a wedge while it was hot, but opted to grind them. Great project, and I love the rustic look.
