Love the ingenuity and resourcefulness..and the fact that he shares his forge with the woman for cooking!

one of the things I liked about this video was the fact that he was smiling the whole time. Maybe its just cause there's a camera but he seemed like he was genuinely doing something he liked.

I like it when a man makes special tools to do his work - the ring installer is creative

That man and his family will never go hungry. Honest work for honest pay.

Mad respect for the smith in this video. Absolutely love the nylon rope for glue

Cool video, dude. Quite informative. Looking forward to the next one.

Good video matey, as always. I appreciate the fact you seek out the blacksmiths throughout Asia. Love these videos.

nice job helping to clear the blacksmith's backyard bushes

it is quite amazing what a person can make with simple tools.

It's not the tools of a bladesmith, it's the skills that makes a bladesmith.

I really like videos like this because they chow what the average smith can achieve without thousands of dollars in tools. Also the tools are just that. Tools that are not Uber flashy and get the job done.

I like it - simple and to the point

A beautiful tool. Looks 100 times better than a commercially made one. I bet it performs better as well. The artisan should sell these online (if feasible) I bet folks would pay over $100 for them. Thank you for this content it is great!

Multi ferrules,thick handle,built to last there..That is a handy tool,considering for my orchard now lol,..Your Demo had me sold...The power planer is great idea to make dowel without a lathe...You got it made Bush Channel guy..

That was awesome, love how these people with very little can do so much and produce wonderful implements.

For the BUSH CHANNEL,the young Blacksmith made a BUSH CUTTER! Well done with his multi skilling work.

this is the type of video I like...

Its so amazing !!!

Some very interesting practical solutions to get the job done.

One weird thing: we still make very round and polished handles for bush machetes, especially for coconut harvesting for some reason. Also there are regional "specialities" too: down south there's a right-angle blade for cutting specific types of grass down in paddy fields (it's used for making baskets and stuff but I forgot formal terminologies here)

Awesome work-ya gotta teach those girls to follow thru with that swing...LOL

Thisan is talented love the way he cut that smart

Congratulations video and the channel are well didactic! it is always very good to see different types of nations and peoples, sharing their knowledge, especially in cutlery !!

I've never heard anyone say something about cutting up Everyone I know cuts down so they don't kill someone that might walk by LOL Enjoyed and gave a Thumbs Up also

1:48 those are some SERIOUS hedge clippers.

Too cool the attachment using a poly material fluf and melting it to hold the blade is pretty smart

Dragon fire is only thing hot enough to hurt this guy

I really wonder sometimes about the Handwork and know how from some Workers.

I'm often fascinated at how often Asians squat while working as compared to westerners. From a comment below some Russians must work that way too.

Oldold Pilgrim i dont know why but its more comfortable and you can always use the good ol foot grip on your work.

You should go to Sapa to a northwest location of Vietnam where they make the most famous knives in the country.

Easy you just put a longer handle on it. Wow why didn't I think of that!!

@ScreamingReel500

They made some longer handle, but not to long (4 feet) for both clearing bushes and chopping down 12" diameter size trees. The blade should be 2.5 inches wide and about 3/8" thick. It depends on where you go in Vietnam you will see different type of machete. Go to Da` Lat and ask for "xa` ga.t" makes by the ethnic group tribe living in small village, you will find it. One of the best that I've seen.

Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls

My wife is from the PI. I have collected bolos/machetes/edged implements of all kinds. The lesson of Castaway. With a edged length of steel, you have a chance of survival. Without such your toast. I bought a Negrito woman's bolo while she was preparing dinner. We were on a tour of their relocation camp after Pinatubo displaced them. They were the last to leave and some stayed. Sacred Mountain blew its top after 300 year slumber. I kept laying 100 Peso bills down until she gave it to me plus the scabbard. About 500 Pesos/ $25.

I am interested in purchasing a one handed Vietnamese Machete.

6:00 I'm stealing that idea, I can use an anvil(?) like the one he drove the rings on the handle with.

its called a brush axe in the eastern united states. a tool used daily by land surveyors to clear line of sight when a machete is just too short and vegetation is too thick... the common design is a double edged hook shape

1:32 tickles the fire a bit, hehe little burny guy.

Why had so many rings on the handle instead of just 1.

How much does the machete cost...?

How much did he charge?

This guy is skilled and efficient. Safety? Don't worry about it. What's the likelihood of the blade separating from the handle?

Gotta love Southeast Asia, where ignoring personal safety is an important lifestyle choice.

Made one of those from a old hand saw ,had to punch the holes with a masonry nail as the steel would not drill ,no kid's or dog when using one of these.

Kurt, to drill steel like you first put a blunt rod similar size to the hole you want in a drill press. Heat the steel with it, let it cool and then use the drill bit.

how in the hell was he abble to hold that steel whith his bare hand while he was heat treating it.thats what i call working hands DAMN!!!

When I make a Two handed Machete somewhat resembling this in the video I use a split receiver that is larger at the socket and the receiver that has Stainless Steel inserts that have grooves that run the length of the socket, three grooves around the OD of the socket. When the blade is inserted into the Steel Socket it fits like the splines of a drive shaft into the transmission. Then a Safety Wire clamp is installed in the groves x2 in each groove. I have tested this design by pushing on the Handel/Blade to 3,000psi and the handle fails before the socket. I use Osage Orange, Hickory, or Ash as the handle.

you live in Vietnam

Same like Naga Dao
