That's an awesome result on those billets, I've honestly not seen a torque multiplier in gee, it'd have to be over 30 years and I'd figured they'd stopped making them. So there you go! The alternative I was thinking for something like this was somewhat tangentially related to a rolling mill design, was that you can get geared electric motors between a third of a hp all the way up to about 5hp which are used to run electric gates, roller doors and conveyor belts. They are more expensive than the right-angle drill of course and you'd have to do up the tooling to whatever the output spline is. However, they're not that expensive comparatively for the very high torque outputs you can get on some of the 36 and 24rpm final drives. Might be worth looking at for someone looking to build these or a rolling mill

Yes, you could certainly get a gear reducer but they are expensive. At that point you'd be better off going the pipe threader route. The right angle drill was $160 plus $80 for the torque multiplier and the rest was scrap. 😉. Thanks for watching, Kris

When you're doing the forging there are lots of large flakes that appear to be peeling off. Does this significantly reduce the mass of the billet? It seems like it would, but I can't quite tell how thin they are.

@TyrellKnifeworks

6 ай бұрын

Any forging of hot steel will produce iron oxide, otherwise known as forge scale. It's produced by air hitting hot steel and forming a "shell" over it which peels off when it is manipulated. It's a waste produce and it does reduce the steel volume. The more heats, the more loss to scale. Sometimes this can be as much as 20%. On something like this, it's pretty negligible because it was only about 5 or 6 heats. Thanks for watching.

I can see a spoiler for the Viking challenge build you could do. In all seriousness this is worth while improvement. I should build one of those when I start making swords and knives. Already started making some preliminary drawings and designs including for twist damascus.

Good tip to store for the day I need it, thanks! Another small upgrade to consider... instead of having the retaining spanner lever flip over when you reverse the drill, consider fixing it to one side or other so it does not move whatever twist you apply. One less flying piece of steel to avoid and no loss of function.

@mattylarkspur9858

i was gonna suggest this too! seems like it could be pretty dangerous to have it slam over. you might be able to mill a slot directly underneath the chuck, in line with the rest of the drill?

@TyrellKnifeworks

It’s actually handy to have that so you can reposition the chuck easily to match the end of the workpiece and have it go in easily. I did think I’d what you’re suggesting but opted not to. Thanks for watching.

If you use the compressor a lot take a look at using a transmission/oil cooler between the pump and tank.

I built one of these and am using it. As is, it has trouble with a 1” this will be a great addition. Couple of questions though: First, did you get a 600, 800 or 1200 N.m. Model? Second, question have you had trouble with the arbor unscrewing from the drill motor when you run it in reverse? (I Have!) Apparently, that’s how it attaches.

@TyrellKnifeworks

6 ай бұрын

My torque multiplier is the 600nm one. If you run the drill in reverse, you can’t do very thick material, probably 5/8” max so unless you’re maxing Turkish twist, do all your twisting in forward. I hope that helps.

Question, off topic. Do you have or are you going to make any videos on how to build folders.

I am not sure where to ask this question, to get a good answer. please do not hesitate to reply if you have ideas. I live in Saskatchewan, Canada. I have a garage, but its full of car stuff, and not insulated. very little room for me to set up and work with my grinder, and I'm worried about getting steel dust on my room-mates car. I do not want to take the entire winter season off.... I'm in the middle of making two knives right now. I need some ideas on how to figure this out so I can work on my knives in the winter months. I can't do it outside, its gonna get -30*C for a few months. I have thought about building a small "lean-to" off the side of the garage, but I technically require a permit from the city, that I cannot afford... and it would be just barely enough shelter to work under. I am living very close to the wire right now(financially) and the knifemaking is keeping me happy which is why I need to keep it up through winter. any and all insight or ideas are welcome here. I just don't want winter to be all work and no knife builds. I have thought about setting up a little poly-plastic booth around my grinder, like they do when doing renos in a fully finished house. that might be the cheapest thing I can think of, but it might still take up more space than I have available. P.S. almost everything I know about blade-smithing, came from watching "Tyrell Knifeworks" videos and following this channel and instructional videos! keep up the great work and awesome content!! I am still a newbie, working with the bare minimum of required tools and equipment. these beautiful knife designs and Damascus patterns are what permeate my dreams while I sleep!
