A link to get the guillotine tool?
Lots of good info, this helps! Now i just need those huge arms and i'll be all set 😆
Sam! Your blades are amazing! I’ve been listening to your podcast and I finally found your channel haha! I love your work
This is great Please tell me if you never did the last part would that pass as a scandi grind? Hope you get back Thanks
Very nice work sir.
What kind of hammer are you using? I have one I bought estate sell but both ends are mushrooming out. I’m thinking about grinding on it. Hopefully I’ll not ruin it!
Really enjoy watching a pro! P
I’m just learning to forge. Thank you. Out of all the information I have been soaking up. This hammer lesson has been the most valuable for me. Your explanation of the fundamentals of hammer mechanism was so clear.
Glad to know it's a help!
Nice work. Thanks for the video👍
Sorry to bother you but what’s the name of the white finishing belt? The experimental one from Italy?
Unfortunately I don't actually have a brand name on that one, it was given to me by an abrasives supplier with no further information than that it was made in Italy, sorry
@@SamTownsBladesmith thanks for responding, we found a similar one that we got from 3M
This is a great video. Thank you so much for the work and thought you put I to this
Very helpful explanation, thank you
Great job! I have not tried W1 yet. Thinking about giving it a shot. I use mostly 52100 or 5160. 52100 round bar is such a bear to move...... You gave me some great pointers, and I will apply them to my hammering.
Happy to help! Yeah the high chromium steels can be a bit of a bear, unless you're looking for a hamon I would suggest something like 1084 or 1070, as w1 and w2 are a bit finicky themselves
thank you
Thank you man, really useful information!
Thanks man :)
Rough as guts, tough as nuts!
Nice job! What is that black thing on the coil spring?
😂
Do you profile on the grinder before or after quenching/hardening?
Almost always before
@@SamTownsBladesmith excellent thank you!
WHY DOES EVERY KNIFE MAKER GRIND WITH THE SHARP EDGE LEADING????!!!! THAT SEEMS DANGEROUS, CLUMSY, AND A QUICK WAY TO SLICE UP A BELT!...
Tell me you've never run a belt grinder without telling me you've never run a belt grinder...
Where can I find the chisels you use?
I make them myself, I have a video on my channel!
Quick, simple and extremely useful! No useless bla,bla fancy-schmancy bullshit Thank you very much!
Great technique. In this video, it may not look like a special tool compared to electric tools, but for those who work with forging, it can create expressions that cannot be achieved with tools such as files. You're great
Thank you very much for this perfect explanation of the importance of blade geometry! Thank you! 👍😉
IT's interesting to compare these to when these blacksmithed knives would have been sold as cheap commodities, A lot ofthem were by far not perfect. These days it's an art, so best not to put out cruddy art.
Big StackD brought me here!! You guys are awesome!!
Wow, you domt find many blacksmiths with such metallurgical knowledge. If you were back a few hundred years ago, you'd have arcane knowlege.
You made that look so easy 👍
Grazie di aver portato la patata,forza Sardegna ❤️
Wow,non so come mai ho visto questo video solo ora😮,sei stato eccezionale,in Italia si tengono tutti i segreti per se,video molto istruttivo e grazie hai sottotitoli ho capito alla perfezione,bravo davvero e grazie💪🔥
Who is this Numpty ...... Hes advising and can't hold his badly balanced hammer ...... The BLIND leading the blind ! His Anvil is set to the wrong direction ? Go figure ...
Perang is the sound a fart makes on a aluminum bench
ide strongly suggest some Japanese natural wetstones. a med hard suita and some uchigumori. and the art of mixing and making nugui! the results are day and night..its practically not worth acid polishing if you are going for a Japanese look..the hard cutting edge is whitened and the softer steel darkens wen polished correctly.
Great video. I'm completely new to Blacksmithing and needed to hear this.
Rewatched this now. Good video. Tthanks
Just found your channel. Please keep it going. I'm just starting, and your information is invaluable. Thank you
SUPER helpful and well done! thank you Sir!
Best grinding video by far, well done.
Thanks mate! Awesome info!
Wow, awesome work. Thanks for the inspiration. Im following you here and on instagram!
Great video. Especially the info on finishing tapers, bends and twists! Thank you.
