    I thoroughly enjoyed this. Most craftsmen don't often discuss their failures, but you learn more from them. If it were easy, everyone would do it, and it would cheapen the art form.

    I want to meet your dad. I know that sounds weird as hell but I have a feeling he's a lot like mine since I assume most of the tools you started with were/are his. If thats the case, you are lucky. When I was a kid my dad and my best friends dad had tools for everything and could fix anything so I just assumed all dads had lots of tools. It wasn't until I was 12 or 13 that I realized how lucky I was and how the average home doesn't have much they might have a couple of screwdrivers, some pliers, and maybe a drill. This still surprises me today at the age of 30 when I am at a friends house and ask if they have a hammer or screwdriver or some common tool and they say no.
    I abused the hell out of my dads tools until I moved out and had to buy my own and now I know how much of a little shit I was for never putting them back up properly.

      Well, my dad is somewhat of the opposite, he also has a lot of tools but he doesn't put them away organised, something i really want him to do, i am getting crazy finding something which i have seen at the same place 2 weeks in a row, but now its gone

      X9X9X9X9 My Dad is the same he was always in the garage building stuff and fixing stuff. He made me the man I am today. I'm an Electrical Engineer (so is my dad) the degree is great but the most valuable skills I have are what I learned from my Dad and Grandfather out in the garage. Also it weirds me out when people don't know how to use regular hand tools. I meet engineers with masters that are pretty much useless and need me to show them what my Dad taught me when I was a little boy. To rub it in after telling them that my Dad showed me how to do this as a lil boy. I ask them what their Dad does for a living and then say "Makes since now."

  • @Joshua-hz3cl
    @Joshua-hz3cl 4 года назад

    Suggestions, only heat the oil to 170 Fahrenheit, and use vegetable oil as well. Normalize the blade several times (there are normalizing recipes online depending on the steel you are using). And last keep the blade in the old for about 2 minutes. Especially at that size

    I had a much smaller knife do the exact same thing, splitting right down the spine. I too did not properly anneal or thermocycle it after more than one quench attempt. Hell of an effort! These things definitely happen. Lookin forward to part 2.

  • @landraver90
    @landraver90 4 года назад

    Hi the cracking of the blade wouldn’t have been due to unreleased internal stresses because those stresses would be relieved during the heating cycle as you pass through the transformation temperature on the second attempt. The reason is probably due to the large difference in cross section. Sounds like you had success in the end so look forward to the next instalment 👍

    @CandidZulu 4 года назад +1

    Once you have it over the upper critical temp it's all Austenite, and there is no stress. The carbon atoms are in solution. Cooling it slowly makes sure it stays that way, nothing more (transforms into Cementite and Pearlite). I think the uneven heating and higher temp in conjunction with the cold oil did it if anything. Your O1 is a very 'simple' basic steel, no strange cycles should be needed as far as I understand things. That blade has a rather extreme profile also, the edge will cool much faster than the spine. Even so I am very impressed with all the work you do on this channel!

    Motor oil ain't the best oil to heat treat. Bunch of bad fumes that come off when you burn it as well. Try soybean oil instead, you can get loads of it from Costco or a wholesale dealer for quite cheap.
