    Thank you so much Sir. To find real quality craftsmen who, not only know precisely what they are doing, but have the truly unique ability to show and teach others with such aplomb, as yourself, is beautiful to find. There are a great many people on RUclips and other similar sites who seem to think they are at least one of the above. But, having been a craftsman in designing and making furniture myself for more than 50 years, it doesn't take many seconds to know they are neither. Once again thank you.

    I have been watching a few of your videos and I gotta say, you have answered several questions I have had that have kept me from even thinking about making my own carving blades. Thank you. Thank you for taking the time to share this with the world.

    I have a unique method of making handles, using a steel punch matching the tang size that I drive into the handle blank to make a rectangular in cross section slot for the tang. The punch resembles an old fashioned square nail. I tap it into the wood a bit, pull it out with pliers, tap a bit further, etc. It only works with soft to medium density woods, otherwise it is a lot of work and you might snap a punch or two. You also have to do it while the handle is oversized, so it doesn’t split. So you waste labor and wood. But you can’t beat the sturdiness or attractiveness, and you can make take-down knives in this way

    Excellent videos! Old worn out Sawzall blades make excellent stock for crafting carving knives. My entire set of carving knives were made from old dulled sawzall blades except for my scorps. I use box wrenches to make scorps. I use worn out circular saw blades to form small chisels and gouges.

    I make knives and I never hold any blade on the belt sander with the cutting edge up. Always down. You remove it from the sander more often to see what it looks like, but for small blades this is good. it is safer.

    great knives, super videos, unbelievable compound sharpening jig.!! ...i've learned heaps, can now attempt to inlay to my wood turnings.!! ...i use THK diamond coated flat lap wheels, 6" & 8" 500 & 2000 grit, noticed today they're selling 500 & 3000 grit for less than $25 , they don't heat the tools, i also use diamond paste on a leather wheel, as a strop.!! ...i'll use your method of hardening & tempering on some of my tools that have been stuffed by overheating, by previous owners, can't hurt, i mounted a 6" wheel/disk with self adhesive carpet tape.!! ... Sorry if i'm wasting your time, just trying help in some way, you've helped me Bigtime, Regards Geoff

    Another excellent video/instructional... thanks! As your "custom compound sharpening jig" looks to be awesome/versatile I would recommend that you break that instruction out and make it its own video. I am confident that video would bring a lot of new views to your channel.

    hmm, visegrips are useful for holding the blank while grinding and drilling (I never hold stock with hands while drilling, btw.)

    In the first video, you suggested plunging the heated blade in ANY household cooking oil. In this video, you state peanut oil. Is it different for smaller blades?

    "Don't waste your time on some rusty piece of mystery steel." I figured that out the hard way (pun intended) when trying to anneal an old file to make a spokeshave iron, burning about 5 bucks worth of charcoal in the process :-). I now buy flat, nicely dimensioned and annealed steel, too.

    For the cutting edge, is one side bevelled and the other side flat? Or are both sides bevelled? What was the ballpark angle degrees?

    Great videos. Question - Why worry about overheating the blade if you are going to harden the steel after anyway? Thanks for the informative videos

    • @sonnyboywannabe
      @sonnyboywannabe 6 лет назад +2

      if you heat it too soon, too much, you end up partially tempering it making it very difficult to work

    Strop that blade if you want a really sharp blade that cuts like hot steel thru butter. I do this on all of my blades. A dull knife or tool is a danger to everyone.
