This is amazing! I just discovered your channel. I am really surprised that you don't have 100 times more subscribers. Congratulations on your amazing work!
@@gustavthane2233 You probably received more feedback in your more recent video, but just in case I wanted to tell you that I find your images really beautiful, the points of view you choose, the landscape, the quality of your camera, the closeups, etc. I also find the general approach of building tools from scratch awesome. It's really interesting. Again, congratulations, from Eastern France where the landscape looks a lot like in this video!
@@viccw2366 it is good to hear you liked it. It takes around doubble time to get the work done when also recording it all on film, but it is really nice to bring the camera. It feels a bit like working together with people to know that someone will experience the process on video.
Yeah, I too thought of it for quite some time, saw special tools and machines doing the job but never having a reason to do it myself. Not until I decided to make a tool chest from scratch. To cut a board you need a saw to make a saw you need a file to make a file you need a chisel to make a chisel you need a hammer and tongs to make a hammer you need a hammer... it has been a fun journey, still is. 🙂
You made a tool to make a tool to use to sharpen another made tool ..you are a primitive tool artist ur skill are awesome. For teal i would bye copies if make the for sale.
By the way, I was curious as to why you filed the edges and then cut them again. Why not leave them as they were, with the cuts from the sides? Anyway when filing a saw, what matters is what the sides do, isn't it?
@@gustavthane2233 No I'm referring to the file. You start by cutting the three sides, and after that you do one more operation on the edges. You first "erased" them, and then you cut them again
@@viccw2366 ah, right, yes I cut the sides. When doing so I get some cuts that dig deeper into the corners and som that do not. The cuts became uneven in the corners. But in a sawfile, it is imortant to file down into the material of the saw, the corners need to be even more perfectly cut than the sides. But with the uneven cuts from the sides they would easily brake. So I grinded the corners to be safe of cracks. Then I made them into a metal saw like corner.
Hugga filar är kul! Gjorde det som arbete när jag gick på Bäckedal. Vi högg i blötjärn och sätthärdade enligt Theophilus beskrivning. Funkade helt ok! Men som du skrev, verktygen är det som är ditt projekt :)
@@gustavthane2233 Vi smörjde in filen i talg, sedan lindade vi råhud från älg runt den. sedan bakades det in in lera enligt bronsgjutningsreceptet och sedan värmde vi hela paketet.
@@gustavthane2233 Fårtalg var det vi fick tag på och det funkade bra. Om jag inte minns fel skulle det enligt Theofilus vara fett från en gammal stor gris.
I thought about making some granite for a hammer but good quality takes about a million years to cure right, & I'd have to leave some things out of the video.
@@billcornelius1383 yeah, people today have no patience. When I was young, the internet wasn't even invented yet and all we had to do was to look at that stone... and we were happy about it. Kids today ha?
I'm impressed!

This is beautiful! I've read how to do this in an old blacksmithing book, but I've never seen it done before!

@@gustavthane2233 that's awesome! It's making me want to give it a try now!
@@Well-groomed_Hobo of course you should, and bring a camera so the the rest of us can join.

Thank you for the kind words.
wonderful thank you Sir :)
very interesting, and thank you for the more in-depth text describing your learning process!

@@viccw2366 I am afraid I do not follow... I sanded the sides and then cut them... The file is three sided. Or are you referring to the saw?

Great example of wooden tongs. Solid video!

Aha, den med benmjöl då eller? som luktar bränt hår... coolt

@@omstallningsresan4878 aha, måste ha luktat en hel del det också... Men ändå rätt naturnära, sånt är spännande. Varifrån kom taljen?

You've got all that steel. Make a proper hammer and some tongs....
