Garry 2.0! Pretty sweet really

Thanks man, big fan!

Sorry I didn't see this sooner! I don't really do anything on this channel anymore. I pretty much only post on Measure Once Cut Twice, but thanks.

Bad, just bad all around

No worries!

Hmm, didn't know that.

You should do it, you should make a video on it too!

Thank you!

If you were serious, maybe a hundred bucks, depending.

Just the scales, or the whole knife? Because this wasn’t really nice enough for me to feel comfortable selling one. But if you just like the look, I could theoretically buy a Voyager and make new scales, that would be kind of fun actually, and you would have the coolest knife in the world!

@@caleb-ray I was really just wanting the scales.

Well, I could probably do that. If you’re serious about getting some, since I have several Voyagers I could make scales and send them to you, that would cost maybe 50$, plus whatever shipping would be.

@@caleb-ray I'm considering it, just not sure if I want aluminum or g10.

G10 would awesome, but I don’t have any big enough pieces, so it would cost more, what color would you like? Just so I can check prices, no pressure.

Oops! Forgot to put that in the video, it was $150, which is really cheap for a steel anvil.

Also you should put over the soon to be kitchen and bathroom a loft for storage.

Just add the price of the anvil to the title.

Well, it's kind of a loft right now.

But then it wouldn't look so purdy!

Well for the monkey bars, the only thing I can think of that's widely available is that black pipe they sell at Lowe's and Home Depot, it's used to make shelf brackets and table legs, stuff like that. I'm pretty sure that would work fine, just don't use conduit. The pipe I used was just laying around and I have no idea where you could buy more. And for sharpening, the vast majority of blades are "v" ground, or dual bevel, I know of one knife brand that does a lot of single bevel, but those knives are few and far between. As far as telling how sharp it is I would recommend watching a video on this (maybe I'll make one too) but you know how a cat's claw feels? That kind of sticky sharp feeling? That's what an edge should feel like when it's sharp, the only problem is, if there's a burr, a little wire of steel along the edge, it can feel that way and actually be hiding a fat edge underneath. That's where technique and a strop (piece of leather) come in. The technique is, no matter if you're using a bench grinder, belt grinder, diamond stone (which is the best) or a real whet stone, don't act like your buttering a piece of bread, dragging the blade, push the blade, if that makes sense, it should be the same motion as cutting but you just hit the edge of the knife or whatever blade you have, on the stone or grinder. But for a sickle saw, possibly a properly sized file would work? It depends on if it's a finesse tool or a brute force tool, if brute, file, if not, a fine diamond file (I bought one on Amazon) or diamond stone, I use one from Sharpal that I really like. It's a 325 and 1200 grit, works great. And as far as the strap or strop goes, that is specifically for cutting off that burr, you run the blade over it like you're sharpening and voila! Your burr is gone. If it was sharp enough BEFORE you stropped of course, made that mistake a few times. Hope that helps!

@@caleb-ray YOU RULE! I can’t thank you enough for your detailed explanation. YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY DO A VIDEO ON THIS AND MONETIZE IT. The problem with nearly all of the sharpening videos is that they are marketing a product either by getting an Amazon kickback or direct payment/free sharpener from the manufacturer. UA-cam has really become a very opaque platform in terms of reviews lately. UA-camrs are killing it and making tens of thousands a month. I had a channel in 2011 making at least $2,500/month. But now anyone can make triple that. And your content is preferred by UA-cam so you make a significantly higher ad percentage. UA-cam “how to” videos are “safe” for advertisers. UA-cam doesn’t have to worry about you saying something political or controversial that the brand paying UA-cam for ad placement might be angry about. Plus “how to” videos get TONS of viewers. Commentary channels are personality dependent. But How To videos draw non-UA-camrs like grandmas or grandpas who only want instructions and not entertainment. I no longer monetize because my channel is oriented more toward my art. But occasionally I’ll do niche how-to videos like how to build high power diode lasers or analog synths and i get significant viewers. If you want some advice just reach out to me. Thanks again 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I think so.

I'm of that opinion too!

I totally agree.

Well, the company that makes my wood burner makes soldering irons too, but I'm not sure if it's the same thing...

Can't be, it's stick tang, but it is really cool.

Awww, shucks.

Your the first one to recognize it!

천만에요

It's probably all a big political ploy.

Thank you!

Deleted before it fully uploaded into iMovie, really dumb.

Wow

I hope so too!

Aww, shucks...

Just like like my role model, Justin Rhodes.

I've seen those, but haven't done any research yet, maybe I should!

I need to get one of those "scotchbrite" wheels, everyone seems to love them!

Yea

I just learned another one today...

Yeah, well, that's the way it goes.

Thank you, and, no, but that's hardly common knowledge...

I like it too, but the second one is even better!

I was particularly fond of those.

"Free", meaning I didn't buy anything specifically to make this knife, also the blade and liners were salvaged, so they were actually free. Thanks for commenting!

No one can tell me a reason for either one, hmm...

Huh, I'll have too try that.

Wrong to. 🤓

Huh, I never thought of buying the grinder, it could be dual purpose then, which would be cool.

@@caleb-ray the variable speed is a great feature. you can buy an arbor extension if you need to push your wheels/work further away from the machine. On that note I actually swapped out the flanges(washers) and spacers, they are stamped steel and not balanced. Most hardware on these “cheaper” grinders are. You won’t notice it with a polishing wheel, but with wire wheels or stones you starts to pick up the vibrations from the runout. I picked up some machined aluminum hardware, nice and balanced and didn’t break the bank.

​@6atlantis where did you get the hardware from?

Welcome a'board, mate!

They could be better obviously, but I'm pretty happy overall.

It just feels backwards.

They're kinda' blue and bird-like.

I actually don't have a sketch of that knife, I copied everything directly from the original, sorry. You could buy one if you don't have one already and use it like I did, I just took everything apart and scribed on whatever material I was using, so pretty straight forward really. Hope that helps and good luck!

😂 Dude, if I bought one of these knives, why would I make another one? Am I retarded?
