If you put your magnet inside a Ziploc freezer bag BEFORE you start to use it, you can then reverse the bag, pull out the magnet & dump all of your metal shavings into the trash can. Without pulling them off your magnet....Work smarter not harder.

REALLY LOVE how this came out. I'd like to see some more of these done with all different size chips, some fatter ones, long ones and all the short ones as well. Ya can kind of make a pattern beforehand in the canister with the chips. Plz make some more like this.

I two watching an episode of forged in fire and a kid was making a canister and he used two layers of the blue paper shop towels, and it worked rather well. He cut off one wall and it literally fell out.

Thinking about adding a tiny battery operated motor with an offset weight on the shaft to the vice table to vibrate the powder as I'm adding it, a power adapter to plug in and no more worries👍

Do you make slick chisels and builders chisels? (For timberframing) Not a lot of choices out there without spending a gazillion dollars on a japanese set.

I made a knife out of a (manual) sheep shear blade and found the metal exceptionally hard. Maybe you could make Damascus out of cut-up shears? Another idea is to use the cutting bits of the mechanical sheep shears or barber shop cutter blades. The filaments of electric shavers could also be an option. Cheers out of an autumn South Africa!

Could you have gotten more swarf packed in there nicely had you left one side of the cannister open, using a die that fit into the cannister to compact the contents directly, at least during the first round of forge welding? Just a stupid question.
