Hi mate good job on those loves and handles. Nice video. I want to gety first knife but not sure if I want a wood handle vs a Micarta one... Any advice?
@@FaisalKhan-xy1dv thanks, much appreciated. I much prefer wood. It's not as easy to work with, but I love the natural results and they're generally not as toxic as the synthetic stuff.
@@MyAK47 interesting thought. Gun bought new, doesn't work worth a damn. Some minor mods, and it functions as it should. Definitely my fault right? Everyone knows Taurus is synonymous with reliability, excellence, and amazing quality control.
*Terribly ugly. Neither a file nor a knife. It's a waste of a nice antler. I wouldn't pick it up if I found it on the street. It looks like it was made in Russia.*
@@user-ww4od4jl1f made in Russia? Haha, better than some I suppose; I'll take that as a compliment. Please like and subscribe for more amazing Russian-looking half knife, half file things stuck in antler.
It's a shame manufacturers don't go the extra mile to do all of these things in the factory. I saw another RU-vidr had the same problem with the magazine--rounds getting blocked by nosing-down into the front edge. He too did some cleaning of it (didn't lubricate) and that fixed it. But that was only one of his magazines. The other one worked fine.
As soon as you started talking about it being a hobby first I subscribed! Kudos! I let folks know it's a hobby and not a business. I re-invest the money from any knife that I sell into shop tools so it's really a not for profit thing. My shop grows.👍
I bought my first Taurus TX22 ten days ago. I added Lucas Slick wax to the magazines, after drying, I loaded them with 16 rounds each. Then I took apart the gun, cleaned and polished the ramp. Today is Saturday July 13, 2024. Took it to the Range shot 150 rounds and not one malfunction. You must not be loading those magazines properly. I only have my right arm and this gun is easy to operate and a smooth shooter. Something you not doing right.
I haven't. I use this grill for quick foods like hotdogs, sausages, burgers, and the occasional chicken thigh. If I'm going to smoke something, I'll use a different grill. I do love this little thing for how fast and easy it is.
Its cool you are still using the Mr. Volcano. I bought one a few years ago and I'm finally going to put it together. I was wondering what you think of it and if there is any flaws that are worth noting? I ask this because a blacksmith once told me that the regulators from online forges like the Mr. Volcano could be faulty.
They use the cheapest Chinese regulators, and they absolutely can be faulty. Thankfully, the three that I've used around the shop work perfectly, and are incredibly cheap to replace. For the price, the Mr volcano can't be beat. It's not the best quality, but it works great for the type of work I do. It can get to forge welding temps, but if you're looking to do larger billets of Damascus or large San Mai, it's not going to be a good fit.
@@ironridgeoutdoors Thanks for the tips. Also if I were to replace the regulators would it be able to get to higher temps? Or is it something else that is not a good fit for working with Damascus or large billets?
I own two of these. Parents got me Them as a kid when they went paint balling. To me it was immense! ^^ Tube loader in the top. Also the really unobvious safety catch (black square above the trigger)
13:49 those hoodie strings looked so close to the tool. I always cut the strings off my hoodies. ✌️💚🖖 Edit follows…WoW what a beautiful knife!! Great Job!!
I’m going through this comparison now. Owned the Glock, bought a 4.5 XDM Elite. If I let go of one, it will be the Glock. Ask me again after a few more range days. First impression was I shot the Springfield much better.
Very nice camera work, up close and personal , also great trigger job, how come you didn't disassemble the bolt before grinding and polishing. Keep more coming and let us know what the trigger pull ended up at in lb.👍👍👍👍
U did NOT demonstrate how to utilize the burners. The picture showed them both completely open at the top air inlet, does the bottom also stay open? to get forge hotter does the air inlets get closed?
This was an assembly video, not an instructional video on how to utilize the forge. Look up oxidizing vs reducing flame to understand how to use the burners.
Machetes come blunt for safety reasons. Any guy who calls himself a knife guy knows how to sharpen a machete. Don’t expect straight blades on working tools, they’re not high end knives. Also, machetes come unsharpened near the handle so they can be carried easily, they also get tucked into belts and you don’t want certain parts sharp. Those machetes are fine for what they are. Your square end machete is called a Tapanga, the upside down curved one is called a billhook. The first and second one you pulled out are Latin style machetes, the other is a Panga.
Yes, I know full well how to sharpen an edge. Most machetes bought in the states come with working edges though, so that's what I'm accustomed to. Also, that doesn't excuse the poor craftsmanship on each of these blades. The burnt edges, uneven primary bevels and wavy blades are not present on the competition. A $7 Ozark trails machete from Walmart outshines these in every way.
@@mariuszpulczynski8329 The old music was called "driving to the Delta" by lobo loco. His music used to be copyright free, but earlier this year he sold all his work to a publisher and it has been copyrighted. I had to change the music on this video in order to maintain full ownership. So the original video no longer exists.
I just bought the tx22 2 days ago and yesterday i went to a shooting range and out of 100 rounds 2 misfired. today I bought the Lucas procuct and I will try it. Thank you.
