Lol, yep... I will say... I do like those pliers for doing that. They don't apply as much force as I could with a hammer, so if the holes are slightly undersized, I don't have a tendency to "force it" and split the block. They're also handy to have close by so I can pull the pins out. Cheers sir!

Your meticulousness is awe inspiring, and I cannot believe the amount of punishment you put it through. I lack the words to express my feelings of appreciation for your craftmanship. Well done, sir!

Thank you so much Boeffen

I enjoy seeing the prosses and craftmanship that you put into your knives. I also like seeing that you use your bandsaw to remove the bulk of the material and not turning everything into dust that could be breathed in. It's good to see you using your PPE. I am recovering from lung surgery that I had last month, so this is something that is very much on my mind. Keep up the good work, stay safe, and stay awesome.

@@justinadams1650 thy are expensive! Leather work and templates are the biggest things I use them for. I've also made some parts and brakets for around the house. Having the ability to make stuff on the fly is nice. I'd advise paying for LightBurn as well. I also make boxes with it. If you're looking to engrave steel they just came out with a 40W laser and an infrared laser which likely both perform better than the 20W --- if you do end up buying one the RBO channel gets a nice kickback if you use this affiliate link to navigate to the site - www.xtool.com/products/portable-diode-laserbox-d1-for-laser-engraving-laser-cutting-b?ref=RedBeardOps&

Jeeeesus! I hope you realize that you have gone slightly insane. Are you making Swiss watches or knifes! Can you ever recoup the cost? After all the hours designing, fabricating and testing, and with the capital investment in your equipment, there is not way you are making any money. This must be some sort of hobby or obsession. The final product is an object of art but also the shooting of video and the editing is a huge work. This must be one of the best product and the best video I have seen in a long while. Absolutely amazing work.

Mr. Red Beard I seem to have done something wrong with my ferric chloride. You said its a 50/50 mix of ferric chloride and distilled water. I purchased some ferric chloride and it turns out I can only get 40% ferric-Cl. I used it pure without diluting it but I get terrible results and its quite frustrating. Do you have any ideas?
