Hello friends!
In this project I tried to forge a machete from an old rusty spring. The forging process took a little time, but in total, it took me 10 days to bring this project to life.
The handle of the forged machete is made of Wenge oak, and the leaf spring steel used to make the machete is super strong and resilient after hardening.

Good skill of making machete, nice work

@marvinharms1891 8 месяцев назад

Nice work man. Not actually forged just stock removal. A good tip, before quenching, make sure you have no sharp edges. Don't take your bevels to done. This causes stress rises leading to micro cracking. Instead leave about a dull 2mm. 😉👌

What a beautiful piece of art and so effective I love the file work on the handle and the two stage bevel angle it's like a trapper knife on steroids lol the fact that you made that with minimal equipment showed me that I can do something like this if I put my mind to it absolutely inspiring thank you for your video I love it!

Cutting out a machete .... not forging one.

@wewya. 3 месяца назад

Was gonna say he could've got a much bigger blade and better profile from forging but hey good grinding 🤷

Beautiful work, and a practical looking design for the type of tool this is. This is a big chopper rather than a machete. If it was me, I’d bring the grind up all the way to spine, takes some weight out of it, and improve cutting ability. As it is, it has a similar geometry to a thick Kukri. Overall, great job 👍

@makeitlikenew 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for the praise, my friend. I agree with you about the angle of the blade, next time I'll try to do it the way you wrote.

@Divine_Serpent_Geh 10 месяцев назад

@@makeitlikenew Have you done cutting tests/wood processing with it?

@makeitlikenew 10 месяцев назад

@Jashin_Geh Of course, it is not very good at cutting, but it is very good at chopping wood

Esta muy bueno parecido al kabar bk9 que quiero hacer

@citizenVader 11 месяцев назад

Nice job. Just a little warning to everyone else who consider working with wenge wood, the fibers are sharp as they come, and do not remove as other splinters, they actually dig deeper if you are not careful. But it's totally worth while if you protect yourself and go easy working with it..

@makeitlikenew 11 месяцев назад

Thank you my friend for advice!

@citizenVader 11 месяцев назад

@makeitlikenew no problem.. Been working with exotic wood for years, and I have the splinters in my hands so you don't have to 😄

@oneacrehomestead 6 месяцев назад

Very curious about your mini forge. Is it just a blower on a small box?

@cordellej 3 месяца назад

so many forged in fire experts in hear 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@STaudy_ 7 месяцев назад

is leaf spring actually good for making tools like this ? knives, machete, axes?

@makeitlikenew 7 месяцев назад

Yes of course 👍

Cool but why would you chop bricks and cables

@Sampeylameggia Год назад

Why you use aluminium foil?

@makeitlikenew Год назад

This is done to prevent the evaporation of lubricant vapors in the furnace after quenching

@brucejoshua21 6 месяцев назад

Is this forging? Heat up medal, cut medal to shape, grind the details, heat treat… I can do this.

Not really “forging” a machete.

@makeitlikenew 10 месяцев назад

Why?

@Ladiesmantwooneseven 9 месяцев назад

Because forging means you take pieces of metal and forge (hammer) them to one solid piece. After that you form the metal by hammering it to the desired shape. With blades you fold them many times to remove impurities and also flatten it out to your own designs. Although the blade is really beautiful and you did a great craftsmanship, it is not Forged by your hands. What you did was more cutting/grinding it to form. Yes you did flatten it out, but that doesn’t count as forging.
