Forged from a coil spring a knife is. Creative problem solving is undertaken, I'm firing my makeup person and have you seen these new tomatoes they're growing?
Curly Redwood handles, leather and brass spacers.

Dude NEVER apologize, for natural sounds of work, it is without a doubt the craftsman's harmony,

@HardcoreSlot 5 лет назад

Hey man, a cool trick to drilling round stock like that is to chuck the drill bit in upside down then lower it down and clamp the bit in the vise. Then chuck the round stock. Kinda like a lathe. I was able to drill an 1/8th" hole in 3/16” aluminum.

Toaist saying of the day: The mark of the true master craftsman is not that his work is free of mistakes but that after years of hard use one is still unable to find where he repaired them.

This is pretty cool. In Nepal they make khukuris out of leaf springs so its cool to see it done with a coil spring too.

I won't lie, it annoyed me. but what annoyed me most was making a takedown construction knife and then EpOxYiNg It ToGeThEr

@GreenBeetle 5 лет назад

It's not a takedown. screw is ground down flat in the back. epoxy keeps moisture out from under the hood and cinches up the fit.

@Nightstalker6117 5 лет назад

@@Manadono It's called a through tang. Not a take down.

@ciderandthorazine 5 лет назад

just a tip: normally when folks do that no-hands tomato slice test, they have taken a nice flat cut off the underside surface of the tomato where it contacts the cutting board. that make sense? like, you create a straight facet that adheres nicely to the cutting surface because of moist vacuumy effect and increased contact surface area. apologies if you know this and are intentionally trying something physically improbable.

@joshsmith9558 5 лет назад

Most automotive leaf springs and shocks are 5160, any made in America that is. If you can get ahold of some leaf springs off of any farm equipment from the early 60's back to the 30's you get some amazing spring steel. I have some off of a 1950's tractor that I would be happy to send you a piece of. Semi leaf springs are great as well.

@seanshaman6160 Год назад

I like it. Nice blade. Good idea on the threaded tang. I think a round handle that goes on a threaded tang would feel nice too. Could spin it quickly in your hand. Could easily replace the handle that way too. Just screw and glue on a new one.

The trick when slicing tomatoes is to start off cutting the top of the tomato and place it on the cuttingboard with the cut side down. It will stick better to the cuttingboard when slicing :)

Just a quick tip for drilling (mostly) round stock... load it in your chuck, then center your drill vice on the lowered work. Release the chuck, insert your drill bit and drill that center. As long as your pedestal drill doesn't have a ton of play you should be spot on every time.
