i have never had any interest in metalworking or medieval weapons, but for whatever reason, a swordsmiths updates on his masterpiece is the premium entertainment i look forward to every week and i am heavily emotionally invested in the perfection of this piece of artistic steel

Have you given the channel "that works" a look? It's pretty cool too. Heck I have a few channels I'm subbed to. One channel the guy never explains anything, name spelling eludes me right now, just hour or two long videos of dude making awesome stuff. It's like an addiction at this point

I love yles work. I got into making knives because I watched to many forged in fire videos. Lol I don't have a press or power hammer so I cant really do damascus yet. But I intend to build a press. I built a 2x72 grinder from a treadmill. It is posted on my channel. but ignore my knives if you watch it because they was my first knives. and they are far from perfect. But I got much better now. It is a fun hobby that is for sure.

The filming and editing has gotten SOOOO good btw. Some of the best editing among all the crafty channels.

That "TO THE VICE!" montage felt like something out of Monty Python 🤣. Your dad's face at the end 🤣

it´s a pleasure to watch you work with so much passion and profession. And watch something that quality coming to life.

I'm not going ti lie your videos have gotten like 500 percent better over the last sort of 2 years. Thanks for all your information and skills sir.

The guard as a pair of carved steel griffin wings would've incredible on this blade. Probably impossible, but potentially awesome.

Or etched into the gaurd. The Damascus is really awesome, though.

First off, been loving watching your progression to artistry for years. Amazing, amazing work! Not sure if it'd be of interest to you to put that milling machine to work on a modification for your vice. Making sets of "soft teeth" from aluminum, brass or high density plastic/nylon might help provide another method to avoid marring while clamping near finished materials.

in your best sorting hat of harry potter voice, you should always announce it "GRRiffenSword" . like gryffindor

The slo-mo sounds are absolutely hysterical!!!

Friendly tip. Get some collets to hold your end mills. You should never run end mills in a drill chuck. Beautiful work as always Kyle!

From an ex machineist: Theres no reason the large cutter cant leave a good surface finish if you use the correct cutting speed. Love your work, you are an artist at the height of his powers.

From a hobby machinist that's done some production work... I continuously rub me the wrong way to see people using end mills in drill chucks. Love Kyle and family's work... But for the love of god, stop using end mills in a drill chuck!!! 8C to ER40 collet adapters and ER40 collets are very inexpensive now days. Cheap investment to do things right.

​@@WHJeffBif it gets the job done for them does it really matter? I don't mean to be a prick but alot of smithing around the world is done this way. Aka with alot of ingenuity and making stuff work. Since almost nobody can afford to buy all top of the line equipment or just have everything

@liebetrau88

16 күн бұрын

​@stompingpeak2043 yes, it does matter, but the question is to what extent. Ultimately a collet is the correct way to mount an end mill. It provides superior rigidity compared to a chuck. Sure, a chuck can work, but it's not the correct tool for the job. You can use a drill instead of a drill press, but that doesn't mean it's the tool for the job.

@@WHJeffB I was thinking the same thing. You will get way less chatter buy putting it in a collet direct to the spindle. It drives me nuts too. Also people that use a open end wrench backwards drives me crazy!

fantastic work a little tip, I see that you use a drill chuck during your milling work, invest in a good collet chuck this mills much more stable. Many greetings from Holland Gertjan

The ants LOVE you and the corn syrup you left on the lawn for them Kyle. Lol

Man, Josh is getting better and better at filming every video!

That’s the perfect type of blade. If I could get a sword, that would be it. Put the right guard and a scent stopper pommel, and it would be perfect! You do beautiful work Kyle. And I like a goofy, fun guy too; makes the videos fun. I’m glad to see that you don’t take yourself too seriously. 👍🏻

I love the fact that you do practice pieces like what you did for the guard.

Thank for sharing. It's so Griffin.

Glad to see that the shoulders are rounded at the tang. That tang looks pretty beefy as well which is great! Well done! :)

You do wonderful work. The amount of thought and skill you put into every project is amazing! All the best.

"mind the kerf" was some of the best advice I've ever received, and this video is a good explanation of that

It’s May 13th and I’m (im)patiently waiting for the next Griffin sword video.

1:50 I like how your swinging technique improve with every next blow.

I love these videos. The absolute weakest part of my blade making game is guard fit up. I just do so few of them (I strongly prefer making kitchen knives because I know they’ll be used) that it makes videos like this one incredibly valuable to me as a maker.

Been waiting for this one. Y’all just made my day!

Hey! You are pretty lethal with that blade. You are getting some nice thin slices. Great accuracy.

You're awesome. Also wanted to give a shoutout to your brother. His video work and editing is great!

Outstanding workmanship, the finished product will be excellent!! Regards from Down Under.

Can't get enough of this channel.

Looks beautiful

So talented, awesome!

I still have a metal splinter in my right thumb that has been there for 25+ years. Just in the right place, callused over but when it gets touched just right it's a... Pain, sting, throbbing ache, electric jolt or a little reminder that Hephaistos might have it in for you or might even like you. But no matter what, however much I dig at it and the holes in my thumb to get it out, IT"S ALWAY THERE! Metal splinters ain't no joke.

As a toolmaker I would avoid using an endmill in a Jacob’s chuck, I know you aren’t using very big endmills but as the chuck is attached via a taper to the machine the endmill will eventually pull the chuck off of the taper and drop into your work. Ask me how I know

Hey bud just as a recommendation when using a endmill do not use the drill chuck it will be more solid and not chatter as much if u use a actual endmill holder or collett

The best Narrator voice in the world!!!!!

It's a much more utilitarian-looking handle than the ones you have previously made, but I like the look. It will be interesting to see the finished product.

Amazing!!!

Never struck me as the wielder of a sword, you my friend need a staff!

Honey! What happened to that bag of groceries I left on the counter?

when you want a really clean finish using a endmill you leave it .002-.003 over sized. Then the last few thousands you really crank the speed up anb do a cling cut. meaning normally you want the the material to go against the rotation but a climb cut it goes with the rotation. But you only do it with very few thousands or it can chatter and try to pull the part out the vise. But it leaves an awesome finish.

Very nice work! Have you considered putting a rain cap on your swords to keep moisture out of your scabbard should you happen to be wearing your sword on a rainy day?

Have you tried using 2 hockey pucks in your vice as a blade clamping device rather than duct tape? Usually works really good!

The look on Jeffs face @25:58 🤠🤠

Those slow mo's had me rolling 💀

How do those holes for the fuller work. My not metallic mind says that moisture is going to get in there, stop at the guard and because it's trapped will it not rust?

amazing

You will and are ready to intimidate and take on all Iron Chefs, Go for it! Ray

Where you are punch swelling the metal is called staking.

Good morning 🙏 🌄 Kyle?!! Hmm, this is going to be awesome 👌

The “to the vice” bit made me smile and laugh. 🍻

Isn`t it faster to use a induction furnace or does that destroy the steel?

I don't know why, but I have an irresistible urge to subscribe even though I'm already subbed.

I noticed you're carrying a Fixed Blade in pocket. Is it the Overland Sport from Schwarz?

You know what would keep the numbers really simple... The metric system!! 😂

Impressive build... but I would like to know why your "Griffon" lacks the head of the Eagle? From Wikipedia: The griffin, griffon, or gryphon (Ancient Greek: γρύψ, romanized: grýps; Classical Latin: grȳps or grȳpus;[1] Late and Medieval Latin:[2] gryphes, grypho etc.; Old French: griffon) is a legendary creature with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion, and the head and wings of an eagle with its talons on the front legs.

I am on the edge of my seat.

Kyle’s grocer when he buys mass amounts of fruit and soda bottles - “Working on a new blade?”

Oh magic I've been checking every day 😊and here you are Killin pineapples and bananas melons and giant juice bottles 😅😅😅can't wait to see this post Angie in Scotland

Haha subscribe on the cutter was a funny addition.

Your a lunitic and thats why i love you bro. Keep up the good work. so funny man.

The day I can waste food like that is the day I can afford one of Kyle’s knives 😂😂😂😂

Kyle, I'd say you're having way too much fun testing that blade, but really,.... is there such a thing? Lol.

@robertm.695

Because the drill chuck is not designed for lateral loading. It can happen that the cutter is pulled out of the drill chuck and eats into the workpiece.

!!! FULL TANG !!!

Does this man make commissioned works?

How did the guard become magnetic? Was it in a magnetic field when you normalized it?

The end mill in the drill chuck is wrong lol.

Hey, anyone wanna answer a dumb question. Would the Carnuba wax work on a Doghead KaBar?

Why don't you keep the chop saw on a work bench instead of the floor my back hurts just watching you use it when it's on the floor?

Doing great work on the guard but, I don't like the gap where the guard meets up to the fuller! Just saying! 🤔😥

Wake up babe, a new Kyle Royer Griffin Sword video dropped.

The bananas haha

Good thing I wasn’t in charge of the fruit /soda thing. Coconut baseball would probably cause you some unnecessary repair work.

I love the kinda subliminal SUBSCRIBE on the mill bit!!!

Please don't use a drill chuck to hold end mills when going across a surface like that, it could come loose and wreck the part or worse, wreck you. Use a collet.

Ok, but why is that close up coolaid shot not the thumbnail?

Measure twice, cut once!

Dads look when he comes in after Monty python-“to the vice”!!!😂😂😂

Would be nice to see the pineapple etch on the blade.

Some fruit was harmed during the making of this video!

New video?!

Why is it you almost always see chopsaws on the floor instead of on a bench like everything else?
