I am a self-taught "junkyard engineer"/maker/blacksmith/bladesmith in the process of learning and honing my craft. This channel is where I share my journey.
This does not pay the bills so I post as often as possible.
How thick is the metal? I have one bought from vevor and when i tried it it started to smoke from between the burner and the hole it's in and the top metal plate seems to lift around the burner
New sub, found you from the Venturi burner. Currently putting together my first foundry forge, from a helium tank. Casting some dusters for my boys is high on the project list. Thanks for sharing
I don’t have a metal lathe, I planned on using a box section where you used the open c, I will get steel tubing where you hollowed out a bolt, and put threads on the outside of that for my air damper. What size is that torch tip, about what psi do you run your gas? Beautiful work, thank you for sharing.
Looks cool, but how much of a problem is oxidation? I once made a brass and copper rings but they easily corroded and im thinking of forging my own ring but dont know if i can wear it for long
If you were able to fit small tubes like 12-20 about 2-3" long inside at the very end to force the air flow to be in a nice stream exiting for the burn if you would get a better mixture and hotter burn. The orange shows not a complete combustion.
Wood not good, you have a talent with metal, wood is only good for lighting your forge, again Alex steel made hundreds or thousands of nails and he sells them for big money maybe £20 each for a nail just because he hit it with a hammer he can charge them kind of prices, so could you
Can you make Damascus? Charge what you want for that stuff, hand made with the proper steel 1 kitchen knife could earn you up to 800 maybe more, watch FZ making knives, he’s one of the best in the world, don’t bother watching fire creek forge he messes up more than he’s successful, videos all on RU-vid
Get yourself a rear axle cheap as chips with about ten leaf springs a side and make Bowie knives, easy for you and sell for 3,4,5 hundred each 1 knife would pay for axle rest is so they ‘gravy’ that means pure profit, charge extra for a sheeth, hand made leather, again first couple sold would pay for materials
Sell stuff, look at Alex steel, he sells hammers he’ll be probably be a millionaire by the time he’s 30, and also get sponsors with high end tool brands
Sell it make money, sander and belts, grinder and disks All your tools don’t pay for themselves, electricity, gas, welding wire, non of it all’s cheap, corner the market and get rich enjoying what you are good at
Do you sell what you make? I asked diesini every to make an alloy knuckle duster from either a car wheel or beer cans and if it was for sale I’d buy it. He said no it would be too easy
I've never sold any of the things I have made, didn't really think people would be interested. I'm definitely keen om making more variations of knuckle dusters and other weapons.
@@HTSTAAL you should sell what you make it could be big money for you. Starting with a carbon fibre one for me, just 3 or 4 layers thick, you could probably make 10 a time an sell for £100 each and they will sell just an idea, recycled cans be cheaper to make and sell for similar price
Great work bro, that happened to me last week and I needed to go to the hospital bcause my lips got cut and it's too deep. now Im healing and the stitch is off just looking like toji XD. glad noting bad happened to you
