    In this video I take a 16" circular saw blade and manipulate a doughnut shape into a 32" machete! It was a blacksmith experiment in the process I learned a ton. I had to use the break drum forge in the start because the part didn't fit into the gas forge until I was able to open the ring a little bit... Thank you for the love!
    Thank you

    My Dude I LOVE your “experimentation and learning” mentality!! It’s such a great motivation to not be afraid to fail but rather take the lessons learned and improve!! Great project man!!!

    Love this book! ruclips.net/user/postUgkxpCNxqmAkyjN6NPx1fyB7QiEFWyO5mUWL it is simply one-of-a-kind! I really love it, because karah explained all tools required to have the job done, not mentioning the fabulous diy pallets ideas. I'm pretty sure this will be a fresh start in my new endeavour. Amazon was great, they delivered on time. Thank you!

    The wooden angle block for sharpening is super simple, and very effective. Clever use of some wide head screws too. Easy enough to touch up if it gets used.

    Jimmy, your description of what you did on this project on the podcast was, like your craftsmanship, excellent. I knew exactly the process from your explanation. Story telling is another art you have mastered. Thank you for the video 👍

      I was given to me the day before by Rob Rojas. He works at a saw mill. When I get old blades I don’t keep them in my pocket…. I keep them with the old saw blade pile.

    Aaah. I've been subscribed for 7-ish years, but cause of the dreaded algorithm, your videos got lost (until today!). I'm so glad to see that you're still around and doing awesome! 😍. Gonna binge 7+ years worth the videos now.

    @exploringplaceshistoryantiques 2 года назад +2

    I am always in awe of your blacksmithing talent! To take a useless old saw blade and turn it into a work of art is amazing. Yea I would hang it on my wall and what a conversation piece it would be! Do you know who made this? Do you know what this machete use to be? No, it’s not for sale for any price because Jimmy Diresta made it. 😊 Thanks for always bringing inspirational content to your channel!

    Each time there is a slow motion in your video, I expect some little accident happening, always surprised by it just being casual slow-mo shot... but today the accident is there! :D Glad that it was nothing serious, I never wish any harm. It's just that my brain is programmed by other creators to expect it :D

    The saw blade was likely high speed steel. That steel doesn't need hardening to become very hard. That's, most likely, why you had such a hard time drilling into it.
