Your craftsmanship is other worldly. If you didn’t ever say anything and showed only the project I would watch obsessively. However, your mini bloopers and family involvement shows us who you really are and makes your content just absolutely outstanding. I love getting to know you guys. Keep up the good work and keep being you. Love it!!!
I no longer have any words to add for these insane knife builds. That pattern is absolutely gorgeous, bravo. A true maestro and master craftsman. Lets not forget the videography here and team work behind the scenes (mom, dad, sister). I don't even make knives or collect but I love watching these videos. The passion for excellence is like no other. I cannot wait to see the final product. Much gratitude for sharing these videos. I always walk away from them learning something new each and every time.
I watched an older video as one of my first videos on this channel and didn't notice the date. I talked about the issues with editing and this video, now I'm checking the dates, is much newer and all the old issues I had with the editing are gone. This is exactly what I wanted! I love learning about his work and seeing his dorky personality. It's just great. I hope that more people enjoy this new style for his channel.
Surface grinders use a diamond dresser. It’s industrial diamonds mounted on rod that is mounted to a base. You magnetically stick the dresser and carefully run the wheel across the dresser tool.
Right. The reason why his method produces such an "aggressive" grind is just that it whacks the wheel unevenly and leaves it all jacked up like his broken grinder disks. If he is not about flatness, then sure, it works better than a nice and evenly dressed wheel with a diamond tip just because it leaves more sharp stone edges on the wheel.
I work with grinding, mostly centerless and centerd grinding, some out of round and surface grinding as well. The trick to get the wheel to cut as well is to find the right depth and feed of the diomond across the wheel. 10-50 microns per pass and 1-5mm/s across the wheel, faster and deeper dressing of the wheel often result in a more agresive cut. all depends on the mate rial and type of grinding wheel. I mostly use 80 grit 3m cubicron wheels. The surface grinder we have at work have a hydralic dresser on top of the grinding head.
By FAR the best blade smith I’ve ever seen. Just above and beyond anything else out there. Great work! You and your family make a great team! Fun to watch.
General, you don't want to rough up a stone on a surface grinder. If you want a coarser cut, you simply change out the stone. I suggest you get a 60 grit stone as well as a second arbor to mount it to so you can quickly swap them out. They make stones as coarse as 24 grit if you have to remove a large amount of material.
Imagine if people around the world would put the same effort into doing good for other people. Kyle is just an amazing human being. Also that pattern is gorgeous of course.
"doing good for other people", "amazing human being". You understand this is commissioned work for a paying customer. His Excelsior sword was $65.000,- Are you delusional? This is a luxury item for a rich collector. His knifes are around $10.000.
okay the slowmo shot at 28:27 with the heat waves distorting the area around the billet is soooooo cooooooool i love all the fun shots put in here you guys rock
As an avid blade collector it is my dream to have a Damascus Bowie knife made by you. Your filming style music choices and ultimately the work you do is absolutely fantastic. My dad passed away recently and he was the one who got me into your channel and blade collecting as a whole. Keep forging on my dude!
It feels weird to try to give advice to a master smith, but I'll bring up a few things in case you didn't know. Forge inserts for flux Something to take the damage of the flux instead of the forge floor, to be replaced regularly as needed. For something quick and short term, a shallow, thicker gauge sheet metal pan will help. If you know it might come up, you can buy or make a tile. "Chile forge" where I know to get them. To make them you simply cast it with forge refractory. Kast o'lite 30 is the favorite of the forum I studied (I buy it from "high temp tools"), I think I heard it's more flux resistant than satanite, but satanite is still okay. Straightening a sword hot 1. Clamp it straight while it cools. 2x4s and clamps are the most common I've seen. Doing this regularly, I've mounted a vise with 48" jaws made with steel rectangle tube and wood. 2. Having it hot and vertical Ideally you have a tall vertical oven like Kevin, but otherwise heating it in a long forge and then hanging it can work. Grinding a sword straight 1. Flat reference surface and belt grinder, contact wheels and platten. 2. At blade show "burr king" showed off their machine, a 2x72 two wheel grinder with a long magnetic chuck. They have 12, 24, and 36 inch chucks. It had a 2 axis tilting base for distal taper and hogging some material off of bevels. They said the belt grinder was 3k and the chuck was 5k. I would love it if brodbeck made a 48" surface grinder attachment, because we'd rather not spend the money and space on another belt grinder.
Your father deserves a tremendous amount of credit! Instilling his knowledge of working metal and allowing you the freedom to use your imagination, which by the way is amazing.
Do it! What’s the worst that happens? It fails? Meh. I wish I had the space and money for equipment. I can’t even forge at all. I hope you give it a go.
just found your channel, and as a fellow missourian - knowing that a master craftsman/artist is somewhere round these parts makes me a bit prouder to call this place home.
21:45 That is the least ergonomic press on the internet. The press needs to be one foot higher off the ground and you need to get rid of your Singer Sewing machine pedals. Some day you will slip off that chair and end up with a molten hot piece of metal across your body that will leave you with 3rd degree burns.
You're one of my I fell asleep watching Forged and Fire and woke up in tomorrow land finds. You're a trip! Excellent work. I look forward to watching more of your stuff!
I was living in MO all this time with a legend and didn't even know it and now I moved to CO 😢 I would have loved to come to a knife/gun show that you attended for a meet and greet. You have such a genuine quality and positive vibes that are infectious. I'm not even a Smith and I love watching your videos and enjoy seeing how much you love your craft. May the forge be with you.
As a fellow Missourian, and one that loves the winter, I'm incredibly jealous of how much snow your neck of the woods got. Southeast got maybe 5 inches over the whole winter so seeing that much in just a day just doesn't feel fair. Anyway, the project is looking great so far!
When you take it out of the forge, heating it as evenly as possible, clamp it between two lengths of wood. A good thick strong wood, with lots if clamps. It will cool at a stable rate, usually.
I love snow. We rarely get snow that settles for long here near London in England. Occasionally it does settle for a few days and it makes a dump look pretty.
You sir are a genius. The hard work, skill and effort that it must take to get to this standard must be ridiculous. I’ve always loved your watching your videos but this sword has been on a whole other level.
My first video of you, the closest comparison for me would be an oriental rug but you did it with steel not knowing if you messed up until tons of work and effort!!! I can only hope you still get amazed each and every reveal on the grinder when what was in your head comes out to the world, thank you!!!!!
In only one word? : Stunnishing ! That Pattern is absolutely beautifull, and I learn a lot on this vid with the molten salt technique.... Thank you Kyle, Thank you Mr Royer Sr.
Get a diamond dressing wheel rod and drill some hex stock for that to fit in to, that will let you place it on angles to dress the sides of the wheel if you need to use the edge of the wheel for a sharp corner or anything, all you do is place the diamond slightly to the left of center and lock the bed and pass it from side to side until the wheel is no longer loaded. Love your work my friend, you have a beautiful family.
You do the most incredible work Kyle ! I have never seen one like it ! I can’t wait to see this done and sharpened! It’s going to look absolutely incredible
Your salt and sand normalizer reminds me of when I worked in a foundry. I ran a giant heat treating oven. When I filled the pots with parts and sand to be treated, I used a vibrating tool to vibrate the container to remove as much oxygen as possible. It really made a difference. Something to consider.
I really enjoy your videos. Your knives and swords almost bring me to tears. But I am disabled on a fixed income. I will never own a custom knife. But I do enjoy watching you be a blessing to your customers. May the Lord Jesus bless you and keep you may his countenance shine upon you.
It looks so wild. What an intriguing pattern. I've seen a lot of Damascus patterns, but I just can't take my eyes off of this one. It looks almost alien, or otherworldly somehow.
Your the best on earth, if you would please consider showing off the blade at the end of the video more. In every video we barely get to see the finished product all together. I thing some high res. Photos and slow mo of the whole blade would absolutely bring your videos to the perfection that is your blade making. Thank you sir for your meticulous, flawless workmanship.
Love your work, fun style, detail focus Kyle. With total respect and zero sass, 2 notes/ideas , from watching all your stuff a long time. 1. Read up on 'transpose' - its the term for the way you restack tiles, and anything with orientation swap/directional change, as the best used expression. (more math, less magic ) 2. Your wooden chair at the press - is it a little too high when you feed in the billets, causing a less 'level' process perhaps? Since you will sit to use the pedals. I know billet length is the issue for losing flatness anyway, but its made harder by feeding it in from above
I found you from ThatWorks and I'm so happy I did. You're work is amazing and I love how nerdy and crazy you are hahaha. Also, I really love those wholesome family moments. Keep it up man!!
29:37 do you ever surface it part way to get some of the stress out then reheat and flatten it again? I imagine it's a nightmare getting stuff like that flat with all the heating and cooling and grinding
You should put some square tube on the backside of the press to act as an outfeed table. It will support the long blanks and help keep you from getting fatigued and help keep them from bending from its own weight. It can also help protect the stuff around it from the heat.
"not going to worry about it"... worries about it. :D beautiful work, as always. love how you push the boundaries of the craft. thank you for sharing your work.
Kyle, I tried out a wood workers drum sander on the blade I’m making and was amazed by how good it worked. It pulls the part through automatically and held a .005” thickness over 24”. Just had to keep flipping rotating to keep it even.
I train customer care for a large healthcare company. I sit on my couch and teach. I have a coffee mug the size of my head. I drink two of them a day. Coffee is life.
You’re giving that surface grinder a workout. I think a Blanchard grinder would be a great addition to your shop. Larger area and cooler operating temps while still being aggressive
There is a single point industrial diamond stone dresser made specifically for surface grinding abrasives. The abrasive wheel is usually chucked in a fixture rotated at operating speed, and the dressing stone is moved across the work area of the abrasive. The diamond dresser produces a very repeatable and flat surface. The dresser you were using is made specifically for a bench grinder and produces a gross flat surface for a traditional grinder. That tool usually removes the clogged pores of a bench grinder wheel, making it safe to use. Ring test all your surface grinding wheels before reinstallation.
48:00 A genuine problem I can see with this process is that, because you left the sword hanging in the air right above the molten salts, the tip of the blade will stay hotter for longer and may mess with the cooling process and grain structure.
1. Fantastic pattern weld. Looks great! Love the dedication 2. MY god the difference it make to have a powered hammer. Somewhat old school and I will not do damascus by han, I refuse to kill my body. 3. The difference money can make when setting up a shop. Using only my hands, a handfull of powered hand tools, and a hammer I make everything I can. How much did your hammer (pneumatic?) cost.
I really really want to see a more in depth video about the salt forge! That thing is amazing! Glad you ended up having enough steel, that was a bit of a nail biter!
Me and my buddy were watching this video and it’s beautiful, i wish you would make a billet of mosaic Damascus and sell the end pieces in small slivers so you could just see a section of the pattern, I could never afford one of your pieces but a small bit of your art would be amazing.

I was honestly thinking the same thing I really like how he has the current project showing through in the master Smith's guidebook advertisement

Love your work, fun style, detail focus Kyle. With total respect and zero sass, 2 notes/ideas , from watching all your stuff a long time.
1. Read up on 'transpose' - its the term for the way you restack tiles, and anything with orientation swap/directional change, as the best used expression. (more math, less magic )
2. Your wooden chair at the press - is it a little too high when you feed in the billets, causing a less 'level' process perhaps? Since you will sit to use the pedals. I know billet length is the issue for losing flatness anyway, but its made harder by feeding it in from above
Just realised the salt heater is a minion.
Hahahahah😂
Looking amazing so far!
Firstly, wow! Sick pattern! Secondly it's cool that you get an even leg workout on that press.
I found you from ThatWorks and I'm so happy I did. You're work is amazing and I love how nerdy and crazy you are hahaha. Also, I really love those wholesome family moments. Keep it up man!!
Kyle, you are truly a master bladesmith! Thank you for sharing your journey. God bless you. Simply amazing!
29:37 do you ever surface it part way to get some of the stress out then reheat and flatten it again? I imagine it's a nightmare getting stuff like that flat with all the heating and cooling and grinding
You should put some square tube on the backside of the press to act as an outfeed table. It will support the long blanks and help keep you from getting fatigued and help keep them from bending from its own weight. It can also help protect the stuff around it from the heat.
well done indeed that is craftsmanship none of it is as easy as you make it look
"not going to worry about it"... worries about it. :D beautiful work, as always. love how you push the boundaries of the craft. thank you for sharing your work.
Kyle,
I tried out a wood workers drum sander on the blade I’m making and was amazed by how good it worked.
It pulls the part through automatically and held a .005” thickness over 24”. Just had to keep flipping rotating to keep it even.
I train customer care for a large healthcare company. I sit on my couch and teach. I have a coffee mug the size of my head. I drink two of them a day. Coffee is life.
incredible work Kyle , as always, your skills are insane, i'm sure to be speechless with the final result....
This is looking great. For longer heavy billets you can use a jack stand to rest the handle on, it saves on the forearms.
Holy crap Kyle, That thing is epic even for your standard.... wow, just wow...
You’re giving that surface grinder a workout. I think a Blanchard grinder would be a great addition to your shop. Larger area and cooler operating temps while still being aggressive
Your thought of a long attachment for your belt grinder would be a much better option though.
Привет друг! Давно не смотрел твои видео и вот опять подарок! Как всегда 1000👍от меня, за очередное чудо!🖐✊
Миссури рулит!🇺🇸☝
We use a diamond dresser welded to a plate and run the stone back and forth across the dresser works great.
There is a single point industrial diamond stone dresser made specifically for surface grinding abrasives. The abrasive wheel is usually chucked in a fixture rotated at operating speed, and the dressing stone is moved across the work area of the abrasive. The diamond dresser produces a very repeatable and flat surface. The dresser you were using is made specifically for a bench grinder and produces a gross flat surface for a traditional grinder. That tool usually removes the clogged pores of a bench grinder wheel, making it safe to use. Ring test all your surface grinding wheels before reinstallation.
Nothing quite like watching a cameraman learn what real snow does to your lighting for the first time :))
Well, I’m impressed! Great video and an even cooler final product.
Great video as always! Just wanted to see the finished sword!
That is a absolutely gorgeous blade, you inspire me to start making knifes and swords
48:00 A genuine problem I can see with this process is that, because you left the sword hanging in the air right above the molten salts, the tip of the blade will stay hotter for longer and may mess with the cooling process and grain structure.
This is awesome bud, I'm glad everything went well. It's going to be gorgeous. A lot of work, thats for sure
I would love to see an animation on how the Damascus pattern develops with each cut and forge
That pattern is one of the sickest damascus patterns I've ever seen on a sword.
1. Fantastic pattern weld. Looks great! Love the dedication
2. MY god the difference it make to have a powered hammer. Somewhat old school and I will not do damascus by han, I refuse to kill my body.

everyday kyle postes a video is a fantastic day!! been watching for years and been hooked since day one. keep on grinding brother, we LOVE IT!👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️
Beautiful steel.
Snow does not pour down that’s for rain only.
Snow either floats sown gently or blows a hundred miles a hour.
You are just amazing with the work you do. I can't wait for the finished product. Hopefully soon. Wowww.
