nice truck buster. its good to see different content of you pal
Buddy better help is steeped in controversy and hasn't actually fixed anything.
ETA:mental health is extremely important just not with people that's sell customer data that's litterally your health records.

Scam company 😂
@@WillStelterbladesmith you do know that better help sell your personal confidential patient to doctor info to third party, making money from your illness. You sign away your right when signing on to their platform!
"Yep, that did it."
That small sparkle of pride there. Well deserved.
"It would have been a better plan to have just done it right the first time." Every craftsman's lament! Good on you, Will, for ironing everything out. Only the best is "good enough".
That dagger should be called "Will's Bane"
It glows blue when Isiah comes near.
Will, that is a beatiful dagger. I am in no way near a Master level bladesmith, but I have to question your gold wire insertion methods. I can't help but think that you would be much better served to use a toothpick-shaped "wedge" to drive into the holes with the gold wire on each end of the handle, tightening the wire the deeper you drive the wedge, then when it is as tight as a violin string, you could snip off the excess and then apply your glue. You technically shouldn't even need the glue, since the guard and the pommel should prevent the pegs, or wedges, or whatever you would call the pieces driven into the holes with the wire from being able to move. I think that when a person thinks of a quick, easy "fix" like SuperGlueing in the wire, then they forget the obvious fact that the old timers had to have done things differently, and the SuperGlue "solution" ends up causing you grief, especially over time, as the materials move . With the wedges, you can just drive them deeper if the wire gets loose and perhaps make a tiny spacer, if needed, over the end of the wedge to keep pressure on them with the guard and pommel. Just a thought from a geezer :) Edit: think of a ball ended guitar string and the pegs that hold the string in the bridge. Tie a knot in the gold wire to push against, and Bob's your uncle! Then saw off the top of the peg flush with the ivory. I know that the project is already done, but maybe that will help in the future.
that's a super slick idea!
As a Master Procrastinator myself, I feel your pain. I admire your integrity in sharing the predicament.
It’s a beautiful dagger. Great work!
Integrity. That's it. Sadly not emphasized as much as it should.
It should be a mark to strive for.
This is the kind of content that got me to start following you years ago. I love the knife and all the problem solving that it took to make it. Great Job.
Will, once again, a phenomenal job on your creation. I like that my sons watch your work, so they get a small idea to the level of time it takes to create perfection and hone the skills to attempt said perfection. And, perhaps more importantly, that they can see how valuable failure is both in the development of a project and you as a person, that they might learn and grow from it.
You should put the gold into the pickle straight from the kiln. The heat is part of that pickling process. A buddy of mine is a Master Goldsmith (William L Howard) and I have watched him do that countless times over the last 30 years. Beautiful final piece! Good luck on your repeat test for Master Smith.
That is a gorgeous piece, Will. Congratulations to the collector who ended up with it!
You should go ahead and start your set for next year! Lol
Love your sense of humor Will! 😂😂 Keep the videos coming!
It impresses me how healthy an attitude he seems to endeavor for regarding his mistakes, and how to move forward afterwards.
The actual work is always fascinating as well.
Peace, Love and Happiness to you, Wil.
Your attention to detail is incredible! Thank you for the video and your skills.
Amazing work Will. Incredible.
In the future for annealing gold you could try to get like a "bucket" style kiln and pump an inert argon gas into it during annealing to prevent oxidation
Beautiful work!
TY Marty
Earliest I’ve been to a video. Love watching these while I try to make my own knifes using tips and tricks from yoir videos
To Flute or Not to Flute that is the question.
Sadly the former, according to judges.
Fluting caused a snare in his orchestration of the composition.
Great content. Could feel your pain. Happy to see a resolution. Thanks for sharing
one of the cheapest and easier solutions you can get for removing oxidation from gold is Sodium Bisulphate, quite often sold as Ph Increaser, a pool additive like chlorine. works extremely fast if you put it in glassware and heat it up. Alternatively you could use Boracic Acid, mix it with Methylated spirits and coat your gold with that before you anneal it, and it will stop it from oxidating.
You care. Well done!
Will's hair is a tell tale sign of what kinda mood he is in...
Thanks for sharing this with us. It's beautiful.
It's times like this that I say to myself, "Good now it will be even better when I do it again." This is the process we are all bound to.
I think the induction heater only works with ferrous metals!
Great recovery on that!
you are very talented young man
Wow what a knife!
The handle isnt to my taste but to each his own, however, I am amazed by the layering and the shape of tje blade itself, oh qnd yes, threaded is definitely the way,
👍
Not enough flute for you? The judges felt the same way.
Will if there is any way for you to get out of the contract with BetterHelp, please do so. I love your content but I hate seeing you work with a company like BetterHelp.
Og course you have mixed feelings about that dagger - but it is still a very nice build, that is worth the effort of cleaning it up.
You will get to be a Master Blade Smith next time. Start of with those builds in good time ....
👍👍👍👍
Well that’s how you learn from your mistakes, as not to make them again it may be unpleasant But it keeps one grounded in what they do.. it’s life
The South African knife makers are just on a different level...it doesn't surprise me that their steel wool is too haha
Their machete-making skills are to die for.
@@ronjones-6977 good one...do you need a nap now?
Hi Will. I have little interest in knives/daggers but beauty is beauty and that Dagger is stunning ❤
What time was it when you were putting the gold in the first time? I don't think you mentioned it... 😂
I would check your audio levels. The voice goes from medium to quiet, JUMPSCARE transition sound effect!!!!
If you can listen to it on headphone without touching the volume knob you nailed it.
That dagger looks amazing. It would be even better with a fluted handle... What? Too soon?
It's a beaut all the hard work paid off
Great work Will!❤
Beautiful work😊
Correct me if I'm wrong. Gold is diamagnetic so it should not heat up in an induction coil anyway. Or would it if it's not perfectly pure?
Hey Will, how long do you have to wait to try again for your master smith rating?
Nice work. Do you have to submit 6 different blades at next judgeing?
Didn't know Mr. Stelter vaped. Coils are hardcore dude. What ohm? what Watt you running?
Seriously though, pretty knife. The repair came out killer.
I I’m here for the gold, haha🤣!!
Doesn't Induction only work on ferrous metals? You can also add borax paste to the gold so it doesn't oxidize that badly (at least when I use the torch). Furthermore, simple vinegar (20%) with salt can be used to remove the oxidization but it takes time and needs heat. The lack of heat was probably why your acid didn't work that well. There are also very fine 0.08mm brass brushes that can help with cleaning but might change the surface finish. Furthermore, you are probably better off soldering mounting points to the end of the gold wire to mount it instead of using glue. Soldering silver or gold is extremely easy. Just be careful to not let the solder flow into the twisted wire. Furthermore, annealing gold with a butane torch seems easier to me than using the kiln. You just have to get it cherry red and then it should be soft regardless of how fast it cools. But my master said to anneal really only when needed because the gold lasts longer if it is harder.
induction works on anything that is conductive
@@wolfyklassenit doesn’t, it only works on materials that contain Iron
@@wolfyklasseneven fingers and the like. It doesn’t work terribly well, but it does technically heat living tissue aswel.
I’ve seen people do it to aluminum, so I don’t think it has to be ferrous, but I do think it has to be magnetic. Guessing gold is not.
@@notlikethevegetable I did a little reasearch and it seems it works on anything that is conductive as the first commenter said. It was a genuine question I had because I also heard that it only works on ferrous metals. I think it should say it only works very well on ferrous metals
Beautiful knife.
What is the plan to address the these aren’t flutes problem?
Beautiful piece, but not fluted. Needs valleys between the wire grooves. Straight flutes are acceptable, think drills or reamers for fluting.
Ah I see just sell it and make something else for next time 😂
Learning by doing......Ta-Da! 👍👏❤😍🥰✨
I can’t wait for whatever contract you have with better help ends.
I hope he renews it for even more money. Yall are exhausting. Just fast forward and ignore it like you would any other. Every RUclips/podcast advertiser is a scam.
Why does it hurt you? Just skip it and move on. Money is money. Dude’s gotta eat, you nor anyone else have to watch it. Just move along.
@@F0XD1Ebetterhelp sold mental health details of its customers to advertisers. It’s pretty horrible behavior. It’s tough for some of us to enjoy our favorite content creators when they are supporting a company like that. Will seems a like a really good dude people are just letting him know how they feel. Also if you don’t like seeing comments about it follow your own advice and don’t read them.
@@SilentChony If you actually researched most corporations, you'd find they've almost all done something just as bad, or worse. You all just love crying about betterhelp because it's fashionable.
Could you embrace the ox and go with black gold twist?
It's funny because master smiths from back in the day would laugh at this being a failed knife. Kings bought NEW swords that had visible SHIMS to keep the cross guard from rattling. If you took a master smith from 1,000 years ago, NONE of them would pass "master smith tests" from modern times, so what's really the purpose of someone else calling you a master smith? It's WAY too arbitrary in my opinion, and kind of like a fake gate-kept title. I'll become a master smith when I feel confident in my own smithing skills, not when someone else rates them. Also, the idea of making a blade in a set time goes against the entire purpose of good smithing kinda. It's like, who's better, a speed-runner who completes a game in 5 minutes, or an achievement hunter who 100%s a game in 5 days? It's a dumb question since both are different things. It's like saying to a woman, "You're not a master mother because it took you 9 months to give birth to a child, and not 8 months! REEEEEEE!".
I've read the first dozen comments and no-one is dunking on BetterHelp - what gives guys!?
Nice to see you!)
While I can appreciate the workmanship that went into it, there's nothing about this dagger that I like. Form follows function. Gold twisted wires and damascus steel just detract from the useability of the tool. If I wanted jewellery, I'm buying a Rolex, not a knife.
Wasn't the fact that it failed was because your flutes weren't spiral instead of linear? The spiral flutes and gold is a classier look, I think! But it's great that you were able to fix it! 🤔😱👍
they didn't class them as flutes, you can do straight flutes but most do a spiral
I take it that you now have to make a whole new piece to re-take your master smith test?
Such a waste of a gorgeous unit that isn't lewd. Her kit screams opener, but her base spd says, 'lol, no.'
Oh no Better Help
Skip to 5:12 to skip better help add
Will, i know that this sponsor pays well but it is well known by now, that they are a SCAM company. my brother in Christ, please refrain from endorsing this. Be blessed my friend
This leaves me wondering if the dagger is a million dollar blade?
Can you resubmit the same knife next time for Master test?
I thought their reason was because it wasn't a spiral flute?
Please stop advertising for BetterHelp, the owner is a convict criminal and this is a scam
10:55. Didn’t think I’d see safety sandals on this side of the world
Gold is not ferrous so will not directly react to the magnetic fields generated by your induction forge.
I Can't F ING Watch!!! Alittlebit Alittlebit Alittlebit Alittlebit Alittlebit! Jebus!
Don't beat yourself up for the oops. You made the most common young man mistake out there. You tried to "cram for the exam." We have all done it. You will be fine next time.
No way I'd allow my career to hinge on the holding power of superglue. That sh|t fails if you look at it wrong.
Dam will that knife caused u to need therapy???😂😂😂
Better help is fake, don’t recommend people this crap.
Ok, send him your own money. Otherwise, shut up.
@@ronjones-6977 what are you on? And what are you talking about? You make no sense dude.
First off. Can y’all stop complaining about better help.
Second of all, I liked Marty’s contribution at the end there.
It's all the therapists out there who are complaining. Someone is infringing on their grift.
BetterHelp = no help from me
true, unsubscribed
true, unsubsrcribed!
Why?
BetterWithoutYou 😊
It’ s not nearly as bad as it’s been made out to be demonized in YT comments.
Your skill, talent and artistry are commendable (particularly for such a young man) but remember....in 100 years none of this will amount to a pile of beans.
i minute and only 1000 views....
Will fell off ... ooffff
a hint : Induction ONLY WORKS ON FERRIC MATERIAL
How dare you try to school the master bladesmoth on how metal is supposed to work! How very dare you!
Just soak it in acetone and the super glue will dissolve
Gold is very electrically conductive, so that means it's low resistance. The heat from induction happens due to resistance, that's why nothing happened there.
My geek brain jumped in screaming “Join the Resistance!”
Electrically conductive doesn't mean de facto low resistance. Thin wire gauge is much more resistive than a thick wire gauge with the exact same material. Conductivity itself has little to do with how an induction coil works. The heat from induction comes from inducing a current with a magnetic field, not because of the resistivity of the material. Gold, and copper, are not magnetic, so a static magnetic field won't heat it up at all. Moving it back and forth would do _something_ because of edy currents, but those aren't very strong, and therefore not much heating.
I do believe Marty summed the whole saga perfectly. The knife looks so freaking good, great job Will!
14:08 the editing with the dial up sound... 😂
Looking Cute there Will with your stash.....😎
Will says the word “dagger” so weird. Lol 😂
Like day-ger. lel
you dont say DAY-ger?
A bit of that Montana coming through. Some of my relatives up on the hi-line have it thicker
Great job Will! Keep loving the trade.
I think you've done a fantastic job it's a beautiful dagger 👍
Interesting- I've always heard gold didn't oxidize. Good looking dagger- maybe duplicate it for your next master trial...
I think a jewelery polishing cloth would do the trick on future gold wire endeavors. Easily obtained at Walmart, jewelry stores and online. Thanks for all the content. Nice that you show your failures and triumphs.Always enjoy.
How awesome, such a great work 👏👏
I’m a simple man, I see better help, I dislike.
Sorry Will, love your work, but not a fan of profiteering on mental health or their past issues with brokering data.
You can use acetone to dissolve the super glue.
I feel like your biggest hurdle is time and time management
Your induction forge doesn’t work because gold isn’t magnetic!
Please stop supporting betterhelp. Supporting therapists that cannot provide adequate therapy is not a good idea. I love your content and have been watching for years, but I’ve had bad therapists and it’s not a good experience whatsoever
I hope he gets another year long contract just to irk the Karens.
That’s an issue with you, not Will. How about you give him the sponsor money. Then you can watch in peace.
I have been at therapists in person and there have been some major idiots. So doesn't say a lot about betterhelp at all.
These guys are all sellouts when it comes to sponsorships man
There was also that time Better Help sold patient data to Facebook, Snapchat, Pinterest, and Criteo for targeted advertising.
I'm curious if undercutting those channels would be an easier way to secure the wire in the future. That's something Alec did when he was making the damascus rapier several years ago. Seemed to work pretty well.
The induction loop wont work at all with nonferrous metals
Dad had a poison he put it into a squeeze bottle. The skull and cross bones came out looking like a smiling face.
Well when you win you can’t say you didn’t earn it. 👍🏻😉
Hey. This looks pretty hard.
