It took me a long time to get it where it is, and I am super proud of it now that it's done. But in all actuality I filmed this over 6 months ago. So in response to some of your comments I still am in the same hotel :(. This was filmed in my old shop. I hope one day soon I will be making things again, but not yet.

Very nice! A few tips when working with files and hacksaws: You should only apply pressure on the file when its being pushed forward, because they only remove material on the forward stroke. Dragging the file backward on the material will round over the cutting edges and prematurely dull the file. And believe it or not, it's the same with hacksaws! This only really applies and makes a difference when cutting metal. By the way, where the heck did you get that beautiful beast of an anvil? I'm searching for one right now, i want to get into knife making.

+brandon2076 Thanks! Ah you know what I have had people tell me that before, but I keep on forgetting. Makes sense though since the teeth only run in one direction. Thanks for the tip! I actually got it from a friend who had gotten it from someone else, who had it sitting in his garage for a couple of years. When I got it it was a hunk of rust, but man is it nice underneath :D. I was in the same boat as you are before I got this thing. I would just pick up a rail road track until you can find something better. They honestly work pretty well. You could also pick up a really big, cheap cast iron anvil. And then plate the surface in a piece of hard-enable steel. But that would take a serious forge.

Top job, will do the same , but you didn't show how you fixed the bands in place, please clarify for us , thanks

+LetsBuildIt Thanks so much! And welcome to the channel! I am glad you like it :). You should! It is a lot of fun. You can also hot and cold bend steel. If you want to get started bending metals I would recommend starting with 1/4 inch round steel and a vise and just see what you can make. 1/4 inch is thin enough that you can bend it cold, or you can use a torch and do crazy things like braiding it :D.

@TimeWellSpentHere

8 жыл бұрын

So it seems that 1/4 inch equals to 6,35 millimeters. I have found a store that sells 6mm thick rods, which should be possible to use for this. I really don't think 0,35 millimeter thickness will matter! I don't have a propane- or blowtorch so cond bending is the way to go. I think I could make a jig for better control and strength when bending!

Awesome! That ought to work. Just one thing, try to get hot rolled or cold rolled steel. I would recommend staying away from galvanized if you are going to be working it, heating it, or sanding it. It's kind of nasty stuff. Nice! Good luck man!

You're right, galvanized metal is some nasty stuff! I think I used it once when making an arrowhead from mild steel. Do you have any special method to tell if a metal is galvanized or not?

@sharpshooterjd

8 жыл бұрын

LetsBuildIt I'm lucky enough to buy most of my metal new. So I really don't have to deal with that. I would recommend going to homedepot and looking at galvanized products and familiarizing yourself with what they look like. Also run a search on it and see what you can find. Here is what I found after a little digging. It's in the context of forging, but it means the same thing pretty much. Galvanized metal is easy to recognize. It is a zinc coating over steel, usually applied by dipping the steel into a tank of molten zinc. A galvanized coating is going to be bright or even shiny to some degree. (the metal won't have a coat of rust) You do NOT want to put galvanized metal into your forge. The zinc coating will burn off in a fast and furious fantastic flame. (excuse me, I got a little carried away) It will put a nasty coating on the inside of your forge and the fumes are toxic. If you visit your local hardware store and look at all of the pipe fittings you will see that some are black or even rusty and others are a bright gray or silver. C Michael Graf (Mikegraf) Easy to recognize in all its faces yes. I wouldn't count on the shiny part though. Shiny to dull gray. You probably own a galvanized steel mop bucket.
