I love seeing these videos after seeing the newer ones. It's like watching a flower bloom.

You have a wonderful sense of humor that is very important when things go awry. You keep me laughing. And I learn too.

I don’t know if you have ever watched the movie: Pink Panther starring Peter Sellers but your voice reminds me of Mr. sellers character in that movie. I don’t say this to mean anything bad, just the opposite. I ha e ever laughed so hard in my life. Your work is so great that I would make an ass of myself if I tried to praise you any harder. Thank You so much!

Very cool! I really enjoy your style! Even the music at the end fits lol. Here are a couple pointers for getting a better hamon. 1). Don't use 01 tool steel, as it is a deep hardening steel which means it pretty much hardens the full thickness of the steel, especially at these thin cross sections. Use a simple, low alloy, high carbon steel which will be shallow hardening. The two main alloys that will affect whether it is a deep hardening steel or a shallow hardening steel (which is what you want if going for a hamon) are manganese and chromium, so try to keep those as low as possible in the steel you choose. I'm not sure what the steel designations are where you live, but get something that is equivalent to either 1075, 1095, W1, or W2 in the USA, as they can all produce a quality hamon. The only thing about shallow hardening steels is that they need a faster quench to fully harden, so water is recommend in many cases. However, in these thinner cross sections that thin into a wedge shape, such as knives and any edged tool, its not too difficult to rapidly cool them, especially since it's only important for the cutting edge to cool fast enough in the quench, which is the thinnest part. So instead of water, which can be harsh and greatly increase the likelihood of cracks, a good alternative is canola oil preheated to 120 degrees Fahrenheit before the quench, which is about the best/fastest it gets when it comes store bought cooking oils. A thermometer that's used for deep frying or a candy thermometer works great for reading the oil temp, and you can preheat in on an oven range or even by heating and quenching a piece of scrap steel in it. Also, try to use a larger volume of oil for your quench, as it helps to pull and disperse the heat for faster quenching, even for small knives and tools. An old ammo can from a military surplus store or an empty and cleaned paint can (1 gallon) work great and hold the right amount of oil for quenching smaller tools. 2). When coating the blade with clay, less is more! Try to keep the thickness of the clay below 1/8". Your clay thickness in this video looked good. Another thing that helps speed up the quench is applying a very thin clay slurry over the entire blade, including the edge, before applying the main clay pattern for the hamon. This helps to break up the vapor jacket that forms around the hot steel in the oil which keeps the oils from actually making contact with the steel and thus cooling it. This, as well as agitating the blade in the oil, either up and down or front to back (side to side can cause warping), help to increase the quench speed. Just water down some furnace cement to create the thin clay slurry. A refractory cement that comes in powder form IMO works best for this, since you can customize the its consistency. A popular refractory cement/mortar we use in the United States is called "satanite". You can find refractory cement like this either online and/or at places that sell supplies to make pottery and the kilns for fireing the clay pottery. 3). For etching and polishing the hamon on the blade, make sure all of the smallest scratches are sanded out, as the etch will cause them to become more visible. Also, if using ferric chloride, use a very weak solution as opposed to a stronger one. Slower etch cycles and more of them looks better than a stronger etching solution with less cycles. Make sure the blade is very clean before. Using denatured alcohol works great to clean all the heavier dirt and oils and then hot water and dish soap afterwards works to clean any oils left over, even from your fingers. Now, making sure not to touch the blade with bare fingers, go straight from the water into the acid, before the water dries as this seems to produce the cleanest and most even etch. I personally like to used distilled white vinegar that has been "cut" with a few drops of dish soap (for lowering the surface tension so it doesn't bead up on the blade) and apply it to the blade with a cotton pad commonly used to remove makeup. I feel I'm able to bring out the most activity and the very subtle activity (such as the "ashi" lines) in the hamon this way. I usually etch the blade by rubbing the entire blade with the cotton pad (which has been soaked in the warm vinegar) for about a minute while especially focusing on the area(s) with the most activity in the hamon, then I neutralize it with windex window cleaner because it contains ammonia, which is what neutralizes the acid. After that I rub the off oxides with a metal polish such a "Flitz" or "Mother's Mag" as they're known here in the states, using another clean makeup pad. Then I clean it *thoroughly* again with the denatured alcohol (acetone works here too) and then hot water with soap, and then I repeat the etch. I will do this for at least 5 cycles or until I get the desired look. Lemon juice (also warmed up with a few drop of dish soap) also works great instead of vinagar, or even using both by using the lemon juice for the last few etch cycles after using the vinegar. It all depends on the look you want and how far you want to go down the hamon rabbit hole 😉 The very diluted ferric chloride (with a ratio of around 5:1, being five parts water to one part acid) produces the fastest results and many people seem to like it, so try both of them to see which you like the best. Just make sure to always neutralize the blade after each etch, otherwise there could be small acidic traces remaining on it that will continue to slowly etch the steel which can cause it to rust. Anyway, I hope you find this helpful. Sorry for the incredibly long post and possibly getting more detailed than you wanted, I'm not that great at summing things up, but everything here is worth knowing if you want to continue improving the looks of the hamon you create. Thanks again for sharing, I look forward to seeing what functional art (some more functional than others lol 😉) you create next. Take care :)

The beautiful clarinet music when he started carving A+

Another wonderful project Uri, that gouge came out looking superb 👍

Винаги се радвам на вашите видеоклипове Uri. Greatings From Bulgaria.

Love your personality and the honesty and fun you have! It comes through and makes the viewer feel happy too!!

SO great! I love that you keep your "beginners mind"!

Uri there is something about you just quite likeable. And I love you have this kind of craftsman spirit, ever eager to refine yourself and your abilities.

I love this guy. He's not an expert in everything he does but he is willing to learn and perfect his talent! Good videos my guy!

Absolute craftsmanship. Thank you

I just recently found your channel but I'm loving it! I've always seen myself as a fellow "maker" and I've finally got my own garage at my new place so I can finally have my own shop! Can't wait to get started on some projects! Your channel has been a great inspiration!

You would like this idea I think, you can turn an electric toothbrush into a micro sander. Personally I like to use one that actually spins all the way around, but their hard to find at a reasonable price lately. Anyway, remove the bristles and cut a small circle of sandpaper and glue it to the head. Cut it the same size for a detail work or cut it oversized and use the unbacked part of the wheel for gentle smoothing.

The toothbrush motor is reaaly anemic, it wouldnt sand plastic even if you overvoltaged it.

You are so inspiring. You make it look easy because you do it simply. Thank you!

That came out really nice!

I love when the walnut wood started crying in pain as you sawed it and you yelled a curse at it.

Simply beautiful and elegant!

Loving your content so far, hope you never stop.

Another great build, thanks for the video.

One of my very favorite channels!
