Make a bayonet for the AK.
Dont forget to make it gold
Gregory Mallory He should just buy a big triple point sheet metal bolt, then forge it from there.
A bayonet on an AK pistol... no thanks
Probably not legal but idk I live in ny so fml
@@jackmydmax8792 rip Texas all the way. Well except the cops they're corrupt af here.
The perfect channel for me, guns, motorcycles, and blacksmithing.
DanTheManChannel. For all things manly.
Guns and knives, cars and motorcycles! 🇱🇷Merica🇱🇷
WE WANT COOKING WITH DAN
You mean we want cooking with Dan back
We also want lawn mower vlogs back!
If he makes a channel like Dan Plays with fire he can do both if he wants
@@IslayAnderson you saying that, is like if you said "I love the United States" and I replied, "dont you mean the United States OF AMERICA"
@@chanmanthegreat1429 dont you mean united arab emirates
The new channel is going to be called ForgeItWithDan
Fiwd, fuknitwitdan xD
How about do it with Damascus Dan.. Either way it'll be a...gas!
I miss minimaleffort
Dan-ass-cus OR DanMade
@@DOITWITHDAN I love it dude
Absolutely go for it dude. The motorcycle builds are always my favorite, this is like a mini scratch for that itch, with the added bonus that you actually enjoy it and aren't stressing about it to hard.
Hey DingleDick, put some safety glasses on. I'm serious dude I got a piece of rebar in my eye after cutting it with a quickie saw, and I had my glasses on! Would hate to see what would happen without them. Had to miss a week of work and go through what may have been the most excruciating pain in my life because of it. Loved the video but safety first!
Use the right PPE
@@datboibruno7141 I know I should have had a face shield on...
John Malovich should of used a long sleeve and gloves when grinding the metal. Would hate to have metal shavings in my hands
Deflated eyeball
@@timothyjohnson4885 I did! Kind of an odd story, cut the rebar, tied it, then poured concrete immediately after it was tied, when the driver turned the mixer on the concrete truck, the air shot one of the shavings underneath my glasses! Sucked at the time but after some steroid eye drops it's all good.
lol dan is going to run out of body hair by the end of the month!

Braden Lehman I’m still growing it ;)
put some fire bricks at the back of the forge so it stops heat from exiting
Hard to get long pieces in that short of a forge if you block off the back.
@@jmyoung513 for the shorter pieces it will work just fine
Rex good tip
I was actually about you suggest this. thank you for doing for me.
Great, now I can spend even more time than I already do watching other people blacksmith on youtube. Thanks a lot Dan.
Dan if you read this I hope it makes your day a little better cus your video sure made me feel better. I heard you say that your just some guy with a camera but your really not your a friend and someone I look up to not to give you some pity story to make u feel bad for me but my mom has cancer and its getting pretty bad she's having serious surgery sometime this month and I just wanted to let you know that your videos make my day a little better when I see em Ive been watching your channel for a fat min now and hope on getting a r6 when I turn 18 or whenever i save enough money ;) that's it love ya dude be safe peace
Dan gets into blacksmithing, now you just need to start drifting and urban exploring and this channel is pretty much the only reason I'm on RUclips!
Yes, I’ve been waiting for this ever since you mentioned it. I just want you to know be safe around Crome/ galvanized metals. Both are toxic, so I would highly advise you to use a respirator when forging those metals. Other than that I can’t wait to see more of these videos.
Dan I am proud for you. Your trying something new and out of your comfort zone. Not many people do that and regret it! In trying my hand and new things and I'm happy with myself even though I'm not perfect at em yet! Love the variety or content
Just in time for Alec Steele to move to the US
Random Guy I was about to comment the same thing
Alec is moving to Montana. Probably not much closer than he was from GA. Lol
Random Guy you lost me at time... explain?
@@sleepy-gamer Do you know the RUclipsr Alec Steele? He is a popular British master blade-smith with 1.3 million subscribers. He is currently moving to Montana in America. Really cool guy with great videos, you should check him out.
ruclips.net/user/alectheblacksmith
I love this...keep doing it I’d rather watch you learn and learn from you than watch someone that’s been doing it for years just breeze through it
Called the Chief, he said this is it
this is awesome! we all want to see more of your personal hobbies Dan. Any content from you is a blast to watch, thank you.
You’re Chanel is great I found you on Colin furzes RUclips comments and started watching keep up the quality content
This is by far the calmest do it for Dan video I've seen to date. Love the content man!
Forgot to temper it after the hardening. Unless I missed it.
Don't need to soften it after quenching rebar is kinda mild so it doesn't get brittle enough to warrant tempering.
Anthony Vandyke not always true. I had some rebar that made a punch from I quenched it and dropped and it snapped into several pieces. Also had a knife that the same thing happened
I think it's awesome that you're trying something new for the first time, especially when it involves making something -nothing cooler than making something from nothing and having a quality piece to show for it! Keep it up!
Do you watch Forged in Fire on History Channel? It a pretty cool show.
Gregory Mallory can be cheesy at times but they make cool stuff!
Gregory Mallory I watch it every Wednesday
i got my appendix removed in february and binge watched forged in fire while i was recovering
My brother in-law won on that show
One Percent Visuals what’s his name?
Okay, the little tiny quite "ting ting tings" while you fast forward through the hammering add a whole lot to the video, I dig those subtle little noises a lot, that's awesome.
Dan maybe bring it to MinimalEffort and rebrand the channel? I miss uploads there!
No. Minimal effort should be just that. Minimal effort. Since hes not an VED(uc) guy it was enough for people to get a dan fix. How bout redo hooligan playground since he games on twitch
Been watching your content for years now, i got my bike licence and started colecting bikes because of you haha, make whatever content you want man your day ones will always follow
🗡 *BLACKSMITH* Dan👌
Ya know, this is the only RUclipsr nowadays, that I find interesting to watch. Always something different with each upload. Love what youre doing keep it up
I see your "I watched this while on the toilet." And I raise you with "I watched this in the shower."
Great work Dan! The one thing I would recommend is that you fasten down your anvil with a few nails hammered into the wood and then bent around the corners of your anvil. Keep it up!
How sore is your arm from hammering??
considering it's no nut november I'd say no more than it would be any other month. I'd ask again in december tho
I hope you get to see this but I’ve been here before you were close to 100,000 subs and it’s crazy to see you here now. You’re an inspiration to many and I hope to meet someday! Stay safe and I hope to watch for years to come
Gloves off when grinding
^Absolutely, surprised I missed that. Anything thicker than latex is a no go for sure, serious safety hazard, even on a small grinder like that.
@@randomguy3281 why?
@@masteronesolo4615 It's a snag hazard. It's possible for lose fabric, long hair, or anything that is secured to your body, to get caught up in machinery. In this case, his gloves could get snagged by the belt or pinched under it, and could possibly crush or break a finger, on larger machinery it could break and sever limbs. My grandfather actually lost a few fingers to a chipper, glove got caught on a branch and pulled his hand in.
It's okay to wear thin latex / nitrite gloves, because they can rip away with out pulling your hand in
Also, holding the blade with bare skin or thin gloves is better for feeling the heat of the metal. After heat treatment, it is possible to ruin a blade by over heating it on the grinder.

@@DOITWITHDAN *Nerds with 10 functional fingers*
I like that you kept a bit of the rebar grooves in the handle, made for a neat final look! Super cool
Need to be wearing glasses for the sanding part, you don't want particles of metal in your eye.
should wear glasses the whole time honestly
@@zackweeder115 yea true.
Dan I’ve been dabbling in blacksmithing recently too! I’m really happy you’re experiencing the same stressful yet very rewarding hobby I’ve come to love ❤️
Dan your doing it all WRONG... your supposed to wear a black smith outfit and talk like your in the 1800s
Jack My Dmax don’t forget the giant handlebar mustache! Lol

From one Dan to another, I LOVE THIS KINDA STUFF!!!!!!
Anyone else think he should call the store "Dick Head Knives"?
steeltalons1 forge it with fuck head
Proud of you bro. Been watching for some years now, so it's like seeing my big brother prove our parents wrong or something lol.
Dan...God damn!! Bikes, cars, guns, and knives are your forte. You are the MOST American person I watch on RUclips and holy fuck it makes me so happy to watch your badass videos
More of this, please! Coincidentally I've started getting into blacksmithing myself, so the more vids the better!
There's something so soothing about watching you beat down that metal fast forwarded
Dude this is awesome, I love seeing people get into blacksmithing, it is such a cool medium of art.
should start calling you universal Dan , since your learning everything under the rainbow XD , ive always wanted to learn how to forge myself even drawn myself a design of a knife myself. sadly havent had time with the project car. very nice work thus far!
The time lapse was absolutely insane and super satisfying to watch. Glad you’re finally doing this Dan, I’ve been wanting to do this for a while too but I’m a ways away from this. I swear you’re like my twin lol. Keep up the good work!
Also when you shave your hairs, go to the other way in the same direct as the hairs lol
I love the idea of you moving forward with forging. I something I do a lot. I personally find Zna Prdouctions entertaining to watch. He knows what he's talking about. But I loved this video. Hope you keep it up. Love you man.
I gotta say Dan, that was pretty satisfying to watch.
I love this. I would totally watch more of this type of stuff all the time
Hell yeah dan. That is really cool! More vids like this would be great. Your span of content is so broad and I love it!
I would personally say just keep going with this channel and keep up with the vast variety of videos you produce. I come to youre channel to see everything. Keep it up dude
Forge It With Dan... It's always cool seeing you introduce new things to the channel, keeps it fun and it doesn't get monotone. I have so far liked all the new things you got on the channel, except guns tho ( I know I will get hate for saying that, but I just dont fancy guns. But hey, you do you. We all have our own thing ) Keep the content flowin' my dude, have a great one.
Go Dan Go! We need a cooking with Dan episode using a forged by Dan knife. We'll drink everytime you make a motorcycle reference or mention a "wrap"! Car or food related!
Do more of these!
I’ve been wanting to get into forging knifes and this would be a fun way to follow along and learn right along side you!
Hey dan! Big fan! My dad and I both blacksmith some and I recommend trying to keep the blade red hot while hitting it. If you let it cool too much and then strike it, sometimes it will make the metal more brittle. Also put some chains around your anvil to keep the pinging down. Good luck with your adventures!
I saw Alec starting people out making leaves. Really helps with hammer control and metal manipulation. I hope you have fun
Did anyone else think it was super satisfying to watch the forging process
Been waiting for your first video on smithing and i'm not disappointed in the slightest. Great job Dan! Honestly, its a pretty darn good knife for your first rounds, better than my first knife for sure, and I learned from a Blacksmith. Also, since you mentioned the wrench, there is enough material in the end without lobbing it entirely off to make a small hatchet or tomahawk as well. Food for thought! Can't wait to see more videos and I look forward to a new channel if you go that route, definitely a +1 sub from me. Keep it up Dan!
Hell yea man. I’ve been watching your shit for a little mf time. Ever since I got my first motorcycle when I was 15. I’m 25 now and have been forging for about 3 years. I’m glad your getting into it. Can’t wait to see more of the stuff you make.
Love the tree log moving around as your bashing that metal :)
Jesus that things sharp. Keep it on one channel dude! Love all the content you're pumping out recently. Don't want your maker channel going to way of Minimal Effort.
I really enjoyed this video!!! Just keep in mind when you harden a blade you make it really hard but it becomes brital. To make it not shatter put it in the oven at 400 degrees in about two hours and make sure you see the straw colour in the metall.
Keep up the great vids!!!
That knife turned out absolutely wicked. It is awesome to see you enjoy it so much. Also as a note, i personally think you should just keep everything here on this channel. I love and have always loved the variety you provide. Adding forging to the mix of bikes, fast cars, guns, motovlogs, cooking with dan ;) , builds, and other things will just add to the amazing dickheadedness of this channel.
Been a fan for a few years now. Really cool to see you expand your content pretty sure we all love it i do. Keep it up dude
Dan's tactical butter knife 😂😂 ...just playing man love the channel always great content
I think this is awesome. I’ve been wanting to get into blacksmithing for a little while now and it’s cool to see you starting from the beginning also.
I second the idea of another forging channel. Also, love the car content! I’m a Chevrolet Salesman and I LOVE the ZL1 1LE
Do it Dan! love the forging! Keep going! Will watch every video!
Came out better than I thought it would, pretty cool
*Hell yea, this was cool to see, i look forwards to seeing more of things like this.*
That's badass man. I dig the idea of motorcycle part knives. Well done
Good job on your first knife! If I may, just an idea, weld a stand together for your forge and elevate it. That way you’re not bent over all the time. Also, if you put a stack of fire brick at one end, it will keep your forge temperature at a more constant rate. This will allow your heat cycle times to shorten. Conserving fuel is best.
I have to say, that it looks like the worlds biggest butter knife. But for a first project that's quite impressive! Looking forward to seeing more.
I think It would be really cool for you to continue these videos. I've been watching your channel for forever and I love all your content. For your first forged knife, you could make some cool shit once you get more familiar with the process. Love your videos man!!
Love the knife, keep doing what you're doing and we'll support you
Really dig this type of stuff Dan! Super cool!
Heck yeah man. Hope you go far with this. Enjoyed the meet up yesterday too. Always good meeting you and the other guys.
Love it man. Cant wait to see your journey through blacksmithing
Wasnt able to make it to the last meet up on Sunday. Me and of my friends went to Cowboys and closed it out. So i slept all day Sunday. Hope it was a good turn out. See ya around and at the next meet up next year.
Side bar: this forging stuff is pretty relaxing to watch. Thanks Dan! Haha
Love Alec and you man. Keep on with it!
welcome to the blacksmithing community, it's a fun hobby
Absolutely loved it! would love to see more knife making content in the near future!
SUPER cool that you’re getting into this man. I absolutely love knives and especially custom made ones and hope to one day make or have someone make me my own!
Your channel keeps getting better and better! I would love it if you keep this content on this channel. I really enjoy the diversity in your channel, all of it! Also, since thanksgiving is coming up I really hope you do a cooking with Dan video. Like I said, I enjoy all your content! Great job, keep it up!
I am a fan of this. 9/10 would watch again
That's dope. Cable damascus always looks pretty when etched.
Love it dude! Definitely keep going. A second channel would be cool. Forging With Dan?? LOL. I'd like to eventually see a video on startup costs for blacksmithing. It's something I've been thinking about more and more lately.
that's pretty good for your first. I used to do this back in high school, I started out with a railroad tie. I had a blast making all sorts of crazy shit. Look into aluminum casting I used to cast all sorts of stuff. Hope to see you do more of this in the future.
Great job Dan!! Nothing bad to say, keep it up and enjoy your journey!
I like the forge channel idea. Go for it man
I’m really happy that you’re starting this I’ve always been curious and find it very interesting
Keep the forging coming man, its awesome!
Cool idea and well done on your first blade turned out well! I'd watch anything here anyway as long as you keep making videos I'm happy!
I love this Dan. Well don! Since Alec is moving to Montana you guys should collab. Maybe teach him to ride or to shoot?
Well done mate, knife making is something that I have wanted to get into for a long time.
I also have something that “stretches when you beat it” 😂 4:59
That's really cool, I definitely enjoy watching forging so i would watch for sure
Love the idea, I would love to see more content like this.
