I sold my last video knife for a comforting offer.
I used a great deal of the money to purchase new files, and forging tools.
I also used the most of the money to buy groceries. So thanks to God, and thanks to those who helped me, or purchased my hard worked knifes for such blessing.

For now "THE START" of a new knife I am going to be working on.
Here is me making the charcoal I am going to need
for this new project.

Check back each day as I will upload more videos
of the progress.

************UPDATE... HANDLE WORK***************
[video=youtube;sdMzaHcbVhw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdMzaHcbVhw[/video]

Note: All of these videos are being burned onto a DVD.
Which can be put in a DVD player and be watched on your
TV. This DVD goes with the knife I am making. I make a
DVD for each knife like this so each maker gets a genuine
hand made knife!

attach that anvil to something :) If i may make a suggestion, if you like to sit down Ala lively style, you could get a five pound bucket, fill it with concrete then set your anvil inside. It ll give you more mass under the hammer and keep your anvil from bouncing around. If you don't wanna get concrete take one of those Thompson water seal buckets put the feet of your anvil in it and start filling it with dirt. get the dirt a little wet and start packing it in.
 
UPDATES.. added more videos.



I am burning this entire video onto a DVD which goes with the knife!
So far in video footage alone I am at 54 minutes. I project by the time this knife is done maybe an hour and half DVD video for the owner to enjoy watching their knife get built!.

I am already ahead of you Rusty :). I was just waiting for my paycheck, and also waiting for this rain to go away. I beleive your here in SA with me. It's raining outside. Ive been forging in the gazebo out in the cold anyways, but I hope to have the concrete tomorrow, and I will set this anvil in a bucket and anchor it. "I" JUST bought this cheap anvil.

Thanks for the suggestion though :).
 
Stupid rain. Yeah i was about to start forging today then the rain came. cant wait to finish my propane forge.

Hey and any anvil is better than no anvil i say. :)
 
Gentlemen, we have a live one here! Cody, your enthusiasm is intoxicating, reminds me of why I started all this stuff, couldn't wait to show someone what I done, and then there was the grinders, ovens, high dollar steel and payments. Now I've come full circle back to just a charcoal forge, beat up anvil and some handmade tools and a lot more fun doing it. Keep Heatin' and Beatin' Brother............Randy
 
I am uploading some more , and the FULL length abuse video. Keep checking back.

I just added hardening, tempering, and a second tempering, but am currently uploading the abuse Full Length abuse video!
 
********** ABUSE VIDEO ADDED TO THE MASTER POST********
Enjoy the abuse test I put it through.

The blade is currently soaking in white venegar.
 
Cody..really enjoyed the last videos..on one of them ur blower drowned out what u were trying to say..that's the only problem/criticism that I could find..they're all really FANTASTIC!!! I noticed u had some sort of cooking oil (Lou Ana) in the last few vids..did u use that instead of the ATF? Keep 'em coming~~~ !!!
 
I called Tai Goo in regards to using it as I mainly am acustomed to using ATF.
I got my answer, it worked excellent. Not much different aside from the fact it doesnt flame up.
 
I will try to work on the blower issue next video. First I need to sell this knife.
I beleive I added knew handle and finished knife photos this this main post.

The wife is working on the sheath. I will video that as well.
The video is nearing 2 hours in length. She's hoping to start on it tomorrow. This is a BIG KNIFE let me tell yah!
I put some body weight on it, and it flexxed slightly like bending a filet knife.
This spring steel when properly treated is serious metal!
 
Can't wait to see the final product/videos!! Is the oil vegetable, peanut or what? Couldn't read anything but Lou Ana...thanks!

Gene
 
Vegitable oil.

The problem with vegi oil as Tai emphasized the difference of ATF and the vegi oil is it does not last as long.
You get more quenches using the ATF before you need to replace it. However ATF costs more, but not much more.
I noticed with ATF it can be cold outside, and for one knife I did in the past I quenched it in thos colder atf fluid, and it hardened great! Cut steel with no roll etc..
Tai Goo suggested to me that I warm up the vegi oil to about room temperature. So I heated a test peice of junk steel dipped it in the quench tube prior to the quenching you seen in the video. I guess this was to prepare the oil and thin out it's viscosity so you get no vapour barriers and get full liquid to steel contact during the quench.

I will be testing between the two for the next coming projects. Small knives are a whole lot of fun to make because I can hammer one out in a matter of hours LOL. This big bowie took me days, and I could have done so much more, but as it's length grew it became a problem keeping it straight with my small hammering surface. ( I NEED A BIG ANVIL ! )

I may look into a 200lb steel anvil as I sell more knives. I have this knife posted for sale on another site in which I have a merchant account. I am asking 500$ +S\H, and you get a DVD to be played on the TV of this knife being created from start to finish. Me and the wife are expecting W2's for income tax return any day now, but if we dont get it today she will be working on the sheath, and I will video that as well.
