Blacksmithing - Forging a Wrought Iron Megalodon Shark Tooth
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 янв 2021
- I saw some fellow blacksmiths here on RUclips making shark teeth out of damascus and though I'd try the same but with wrought iron. It also provided me with a good opportunity to figure out the different finishes you can do with wrought iron as I will be making more things from it in the future. I'm very happy with how this piece turned.
Thanks for watching!

This is an interesting piece of work. I wonder why wrought iron have those pattern on them when etched with acid. It's like damascus but different. Would you care to explain what's going on with the material itself?
Basically wrought iron is quite impure and has ton of slag and minerals etc, (atleast compared to modern stuff). Because of this and the way that wrought iron was forged and manufactured the wrought iron has a very distinct almost wood grain-esque structure to it, with long threads of iron and then small impurities in between. Google wrought iron grain and you'll get many good pictures showing this.
@@MakeNCreate I got it now. Thanks for explaining a bit to me.
I found my own bloom in a nearby lake. I forged it in a campfire to make a small 10 gram piece of wrought iron. I love it!
This is just the beginning. Expect another video where he made another 100 of these for a whole jaw.
Jeez dude you really expect a lot of him don't you?
@@jhgaming6830 haha that would be sooo much grueling, tedious, grinding (pun intended) work... but I think it would be worth it in the end... I mean just imagine how insane that would look, all setup/lined up in a jaw... maybe make the jaw out of some kind of dark hard wood like mahogany or purple heart from Brazil =)
Cool prehistoric artifact!
That etching looks amazing!
Thank you man!
We have the same angle grinder! But not quite the same skill, I’m working on it. Quarantine has been very helpful in developing my hobbies
That’s cool man.
Amazing 👍
Super work bro 😃! Thats one great Looking tooth !
Thank you!
Looks great
Thank you!
Very cool!
Thank you!
Looks like a great axe head
Just an idea for a axe
Beautiful work man, love to see different proyects like this one
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback.
JUST AWESOME 👋👋👋
Thank you!
Very cool! 👋👋👋
Thanks!
That turned out awesome!
Thank you Liam! Appreciate it :)
OMG this is glorious!!!
Thank you!
That wrought iron pattern looks very nice.
Thanks trey
Thank you :)
Interesting
That's unfathomably cool, if you're ever selling these I would buy one in a heartbeat, the shark obsessed kid in my is still going strong
Yeah I was thinking about making and selling some of these. Good to know someone is interested. If you'd like one send me an email! I won't be able to do it until after 8th of feb because of the covid restrictions though. Thank you!
@@MakeNCreate good as I dont get paid until the 6th 😂 I'd have to make a nice stand for it too
Good job! A little stylized, but very similar! 👍
Thank you! they come in many shapes and sizes so I allowed myself a bit of wiggle room hehe.
Превосходно!
That sir is an awesome piece of work. I can only imagine what it would be like to see the fish that is big enough to fit a tooth that large lol. But I think it would awesome to see that fixed into a wooden handle of some sort to look like a primitive man weapon or a spear. Just a little thought
Could be done yes, I enjoy it more though as just a display piece :p. Thank you!
Cool! Make a nice ear ring. Now do the fish to go with it.
have you considered using wrought and mild or high carbon steel in a damascus? would look very cool!
I wouldn't do high layer count damascus with it, as I'm not that interested in it. I will be doing San mai though. Thank you!
A mix of instant coffee, water and white vinegar makes a good etching liquid.
Thanks
Will try!

You should try remaking the first knife you uploaded to see the skill deiffere ce between now and then
Well the first knife I uploaded was a kitchen knife made from a piece of shit ikea tableware lol, so wouldn't be that much fun. The first knife I actually FORGED though was the Frontier trade knife. I'll definitely will revisit that blade as I'd like to make and sell some in the future. Thank you!
@@MakeNCreate hey it’s no problem from one aspiring blacksmith to another keep working on it and you’ll do great things for this community and thank you for all your hard work and doing so much for us to see you work
내가 2빠구나 잘보겠음
want one
You could sharpen one edge and hold it by the other and use it like a knife.
Wouldn't work. Wrought iron doesn't harden.
Joey Van Der Steeg had some amazing results etching his wrought iron French peen hammer in Hydrochloric Acid (muriatic acid). It revealed all the grain of the wrought irob making it look like fossilized wood. Although the vinegar gave some very decent results.
Yes! I was actually going for the look he got on his french hammers.
Would you consider cross-posting to either Odysee or Rumble? I really enjoy your content but I can no longer support RUclips and I don't want to miss your next project! Thank you for considering!
Megalodon tooth knife. Please.
What's the point of this? Looks cool though
There is no point except to make something cool. Thanks
Why
First.. i think
Yes.
Gonna be honest it's strange seeing you use an angle grinder that much
Hahaaa I get that. I grew being quite scared of them so never really used them until now, wonderfully versatile tool though.
