This is the first build a knife box I've purchased and I'm quite stoked to get to work on it. My knifemaking partner and I bought 3, one for each of us and one as a gift for a friend.
Very nice job guys. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.
Great vid gentlemen. Knife looks great, instruction clear. Props to you for talking to the camera for 15+ minutes without saying 'um'....haha, did way better than I would have
@@tpowfjb you take a bit the same as the thickness of the metal. Laying the knife blank flat on the table use the tip of the bit run it along the edge. It will leave you a center line. Now grind just up to the line to achieve the bevel.
For those wondering, a reupload with quieter music… lotta people were complaining. Apparently I was the only one who could understand him just fine but oh well.
let me know when you decide to do a chinese cleaver. I have a cheap high carbon I use and love it so much. butcher cleaver is just a little to thick for my everyday use.
Any problems getting these kits through customs/quarantine in Australia? The raw/untreated wood is the potential problem, even if it looks like it's in good condition.
@@rosspeaksteelworks yes, australian quarantine is strict, but unless it's a clear violation, then their assessments are highly variable for wooden products unless they are painted or otherwise finished. fumigation costs for "raw" timber products are usually more than the item is worth
Nice clean video. My only comments are that your on camera presence isn’t 100% natural. With a little more practice or a few more videos it won’t be noticeable at all. Also your talking is very one level inflection isn’t really changing much.
Honestly in my opinion most of the buyers for these kits are people that are barely trying to get into knife making maybe try explain a bit more and show more basic tools
No, YOU don't need a respirator to sand something. Sure it a personal choice, but it is very much like smoking. Sure, you can smoke, but it not healthy. Same thing for sanding without a mask, sure you can do it, but it's not good for you. Some woods like purple heart, it just takes a few exposures to the dust, and then some people become allergic to it with strong reactions (but not everyone). I am just a garage maker, and I wear a mask for sanding metal or wood. If that was my regular job, I would wear a respirator. If I was setting an example on You Tube, I would wear a respirator.
