Thanks Nick and Zed for all the time you put into those marvelous videos. Really handy all the knowledge and information you present to us for free! Cool stuff, keep up the work.
Sisncerely appreciate your kind words and all credit to Nic for allowing me into his space and document these videos, so that others like yourself can learn ~Peace~
I did this for my kolrosing knife. I had a largish bit snag while cutting and sheared the spiral off but I kept the shaft for years. When I started carving, it knew it was the perfect thing to make my knife. Made a nice handle on my lathe and use it all the time.
Thats awesome to hear! the Bodgers do some amazing work and their meet-ups are amazing. Hope your time there goes well and do let me know how you get on ~Peace~
Nice! I'll give that a shot. The "fun" thing about the hardness scale is that it is quite nonlinear. Just look at the shape of the cone that's being pressed into the metal.
I have one more proposal to make, :). I like the original design of the kolrosing blade on the hewn and hone website. But my intution tells me that a kolrosing knife shouts out for being like a pen or pencil. So it would be perfectly sound to have a longer version in ball bearing steel, but one which has a long shaft - which can be hold like a pencil. From what I can see - if the shaft would be longer it would be a really sound kolrosing knife that is comfortable to hold and work with.
If you look at how these kolrosing blades are attached to handles, you'll see that they are shaped to be as just that, pencil like. Regarding length of shaft, there's no need for it to be so long as once it's in the handle, the shape of the handle can be modified to suit your grip ~Peace~
Free-hand off a bench grinder with the bit already set into your handle makes for easier work holding. 35° angle can be monitored with a suitable adjustable bevel gauge....Read off with a protractor. Great video. Like Nic says, don't mess with carbon steel. HSS all the way!
Such a great video! Nic- thank you for all your great tips. I have been wanting to make one and have been watching UA-cam 😊 but this is the best! Thank you! I feel I could really have a go. Zed- thank you! Love your videos!
Another very informative presentation guys….it is fantastic that Nic is prepared to share his knowledge and Zeds presentation skills and editing make for great viewing….cheers from the Snowy Mountains Australia…PS… would be great to see the making of bowl adze and swan neck gouge sometime 😊

Very cool! yes this is a great project to utilise old drill bits that would otherwise be disgarded ~Peace~
Hi. Just joined the "bodgers" on your recommendation. Going to a local meeting in August. Thanks both for all your videos. Cheers Jim
Thats awesome to hear! the Bodgers do some amazing work and their meet-ups are amazing. Hope your time there goes well and do let me know how you get on ~Peace~
Brilliant video, hes a very clever Guy, awesome!
He most definitely is and we appreciate you watching Steve ~Peace~

Indeed it's fascinating to get into the intricacies of metal and the processes it goes through to get to the final shape ~Peace~

And me! Thought I was tripping for a moment lol
They goto be
Next video is a DNA test......
We are hoping to tempt Jeremy Kyle out of retirement for this one !
Can we say, that generally where drill spirals begin, there will be area of harder metal?
Das würde mich auch interessieren
Generally yes ~Peace~

Keep recycling. Don't let an old drill bit go to waste.👍🏽
Amen to that my friend! ~Peace~
I use concrete nails which are cheap and easy to use. Not that I don't have a lot of dull drill bits
Thats useful to know as like you said, there are other options for materials to use ~Peace~
Hi what size drill bit did you use please
Hi Martin, i've forgotten the size he used, hopefully Nic see's this and lets us know ~Peace~
@@Zedoutdoors hi thank you I’ll give him a shout, I don’t know why I didn’t in the first place 😂 keep up the good work, Martin
6mm, but as you only use the tip it's really not that important
