Dude looks and sounds exactly like the character Bajie from Into The Badlands. Hell yeah

Hello, nice tutorial and really nice freehand grinding skill; you made it so straight! Thumbs up!

Free hand grinding. just awesome. Thanks StuartS.

Thanks. I was wondering how to do this. Another great reason to watch your channel.

You make it look so easy!!! Like butter!!

Probably unfair of you to make it look so easy. :)

this is what mills are for.great video bro. love them all keep up the great work.

You made that looks so easy! Very well done!

Nice grinder, made quick work of that. I though ppl used a surface grinder with a stone grinding wheel. Seen it done that way

Very good Fabio Moretti-Italy

Perfect video. Thanks!

Good job on the video Stewart. They keep getting better. And a very good explanation on grinding in fullers. Have you done a video forging one in?

Thanks Stuart!

👏👍

Nice!

I know this is an older video, but is there a video or a shot of the finished seax?

Great vid, really explains it well and you make it look so effortless. Curious, what thickness of steel were you using there? Looks to be 1/4"?

Great video! What grit did you use to start the fullers? You removed a serious amount of steel quickly. Thanks Stuart

I use a 36 grit but a 60 or 80 will work just as well. Because the wheel is so small it naturally removes material faster.

Great info Stuart! I'm curious about how the small wheel is attached, does it has bearings on the sides or you just stuck the axle of the wheel directly inside the holes of the holder. Thank you very much!

How bout a ball end mill in the milling machine? Something like fluting a rifle barrell? Thanks for the vid G.

I've done that method as well. But I don't have a mill in my shop.

Dear Stuart, thank you for this video. It's just a pitty that grinding is not as easy as it looks in your videos... ;) This method will be very helpful to decorate a bowie-style blade some time soon. Still I certainly have to go through a lot of practice to get some acceptable results... Best regards, Timo

TR Cellar Knives it's all about practice. no one showed me how to do this. my first few were atrocious. but it's not hard to master. steady hands brother, steady hands

Makes the blade lighter while increacing the over all strength.

now how about a tapered fuller? there's a challenge!

Mr. Smith, I Sent a few emails and have not heard back just wondering if you received them also one of my emails was in reguards to a knife purchase or price for the build. Thanks in advance, Martin Moldovan at M/S Blacksmithing and Blades

I did get them, very sorry for the late response. I am very busy with Blade show knives and am very distracted. I sent you a mail just now.

Stuart, Can a fuller be put in with a file? Can you send me some African Black wood I would be willing to pay for shipping if need be.Thanks and great video , Martin Moldovan at M/S Blacksmithing and Blades

I’m making a knife at the moment, I’m half way through filing the fullers. It can be done, but it’s very slow going in order to get them straight and even depth. I used a scribe with a hardened steel pin to scrape the lines deep enough for the first small file to follow, then I use a slightly bigger file etc.

WTF IS WRONG WITH U. Making it look so easy :D. Thumbs up!

Stuart Can I have your e mail it would be much easier to converse by email on account I do not facebook. Yes I am keen as you say on acquiring some woods and other stuff I have seen you use. You are an inspiration to me and I like your channel a lot. you always go into great depth giving lots of info. You also mentioned a tool to scrape in a fuller do you now the name of it ?Thank you ,Martin Moldovan at M/S Blacksmithing and Blades
