30:12 Great work! Safety note clamp thin metal to the drill press table with wood backing. Grandpa Ross

[@Duckrabbit_Forging]

Thanks!
My drill press table is weird and makes clamping things to it extremely inconvenient lol

[@StrayWolfForge]

Nice work i like handle shape and repurpoing of the axe handle. I like how old tools tell a story and you just added a new chapter to this one. If the blade was shorter you could have tried a potato patina.

[@Duckrabbit_Forging]

Is that where you stick the blade in a potato and let that patina it? If so I could have used multiple potatoes.

[@StrayWolfForge]

@@Duckrabbit_Forging that's correct the acid in the taters will etch the blade very dark almost black.

[@Duckrabbit_Forging]

@@StrayWolfForge dope
I'll definitely do that at some point the future

nice work brother! i just did a similar video and actually cut some tomatoes towards the end!

[@Duckrabbit_Forging]

The cutting footage I did got lost and I was given this knife to restore and the original owner wanted it back so I don't have it anymore lol.

3:20. my brother in christ. get a harness for your camera.

[@Duckrabbit_Forging]

Its in the Amazon cart lol
Has been for months

[@JackPinesBlacksmithing]

I don't know that I'd use it as a macheté, as small as it is. However, I think it could be a camp staple for slicing tomatoes or peeling potatoes. Nice work!

[@Duckrabbit_Forging]

Lol yeah
Gotta remember it was significantly bigger brand new, between the makeshift rehandling and the sharpened in recurve
