A simple hardy tool bending jig makes spring straightening fairly simple and easy.

Oh for sure. Little chunks like this are pretty easy just to bend on the anvil…if you can get a good hold with your tongs 😂

Always appreciated, my friend. That’s some great steel you have to work with. If I can be of any help, don’t hesitate to ask.

Nice work. I’m just a beginner, and tried an integral bolster. I failed miserably, but your advice will help for the next go around.

Integrals bring a whole new set of issues 😂. I’m always glad to help where I can. I hope your next one goes smoother.

I've tried integrals before, but they where always like 1/2 inch thick or barley noticable, but I'm definitely going to be trying again

They’re definitely not the easiest. One or two miss hits and it ends up not being an integral anymore. Hahaha.

Awesome vid! Man I’m so glade I came across your stuff!

Thanks for sharing this. I made a integral kitchen knife out of a 3/4 inch leaf spring. Really enjoy your videos. You are very talented. Thanks again.

It’s my pleasure. You’re much too kind! Thanks a ton for watching.

given me some new info there, been using coil springs to make knives and noticed a few things you did to try out and make things easier for myself, thanks for that

Bit of nerdy info for you. When calculating for steel, the area of a 3/4 round is .44 sq in. and a 1 inch round is .79. Thats the thickness you get on a 1 inch flat.Lets you know how big of a blade you can get if you can just figure out how to forge it out wide. 😃

That’s good to know, but I pretty much never do any calculations to see how much I can stretch a piece of steel. 😂

@@Hathenbrucksteelworks 🤪 What I have seen on here a number of times is that most people get the amount of steel for the blade of an integral pretty close but they either over or underestimate for the tang. Tend to shade over for hidden tang and under for some full tangs. I have seen my fair share of LONG and thick hidden tangs and long bolsters that end up getting ground/filed down.

The only time I’m too concerned is when I don’t leave myself enough material. I’m ok grinding down if things are too big. There’s always going to be wasted material, so a little more waste from grinding is ok with me.

@@Hathenbrucksteelworks Most of my round bar is Don Hanson sourced W2 and I have a very finite supply and when it it gone, there is no more. So I have to be careful about waste.😉

Great video, awesome content as always! Where did you get that beautiful hammer?

I have a few great hammers, but this one is the first hammer I ever bought. Made by Rovtar Forge. Not only is it a beautiful hammer, but it’s perfect (for me) in almost every way.

Love it. Thanks

Good video. Earned my sub. I made my first knife a week ago. It's so bad and so ugly and I love it so much. My goal is to get good enough at ht's so I can start making some firing pins I can't find anywhere.

Glad to hear it. I’d be happy to try and answer any questions you have. I still have my first knife, and it’s pretty rough. Hahaha.

Sorry, didn’t mean to sound like the safety please and yes, I have done the same. I just value my eyes so much that I thought I would try and make a statement. Sorry if I offended.

Oh not at all. I completely agree with you. I’ve been much better about wearing a respirator and safety glasses. I recently bought a full face shield with respirator.

Just stick one end of the spring into the hardy hole and give it a pull, gets straight real fast and you don't have to hammer on awkward angles.

The first thing I noticed is you used a cut off wheel on a grinder with no safety glasses I hate to say it brother, but that is just plain stupid
