- This Triple-T Tuesday (Tools, Tips and Talk) is a little about me and how I got started in bladesmithing and then in the tips and tools section we discuss hidden tang handles and how to get those setup for success.

How do you do your handles? Any tips for lining up the block to the blade you want to add?
Man, I love how clear you present the descriptions of your processes
Thanks, I’m pleased you are getting something out of it! 👍
Yaaaay the first triple t Tuesday!! That's history right there! That's so cool to see. I am also excited to see you first cu mai
Thanks for watching!
This is great stuff. I too am a Canadian down South (Texas) here. And Just completed my very first knife a couple days ago. I've just been going through your videos from the beginning now and am quite enjoying and learning a bunch. Thank you sharing your knowledge and experiences!
Hello fellow Canadian! Welcome to the channel! 👍
Great video and some good tips for sure.
Thanks! Great to have you along!
I'm here from the River's Experience!
Glad to have you along!
Nice tips! I also countersink the inside of my handle scales.
Thanks for going back in the video library!
Awesome video, thanks tyrell6
Thanks for watching!
The center drill starts a straight hole for the longer drills to follow
Yup, that’s what it’s for. Thanks for watching.
That was helpful! I’ll be trying that cause I want to start making more hidden tang blades and have plenty of blocks! The hidden tang blades I have made I used moose antler which I guess is easy to get even and centered cause it round.🤷🏼♂️👍🏻🔥⚒💪🏻
I’m happy you got something out of it! I like that Damascus blade you just did so time for a handle now. 👍
I use the dwelt it has the center drill point on them
If you mean drill bits, I exclusively use the Cle-Line bits now. They certainly outlast the Dewalt and Milwaukee bits by 2 or 3x. Thanks for watching
Ah, my "go to" source recorded some of the information I need today two years ago. My current project went from being designed as a full tang to actually being a hidden tang because I needed blade length. Can't waste that pretty damascus under scales! That's my story, anyway.
Yup, I’ve made that decision many times. That’s one reason I prefer hidden tang knives. 😉
Really don't understand the countersink explanation for a hidden tang knife. How can you use a countersink in that area with a single block of wood with a pin in it?
For a hidden tang knife you drill through the wood with the tang in place, then when the drill touches the tang, remove it and drill through the rest of the wood. Then go back and drill the hole in the tang separately, usually with a drill bit that’s a size bigger. If you try to drill through both the wood and tang in one shot, you can flex the drill bit and widen the hole in the wood. After you have the hole in the tang, use a countersink bit to put a chamfer on the hole. This provides a place for the epoxy to go. Make sense?
@@TyrellKnifeworks Yes, thanks for clearing that up for me.
Directory at a Software Company...This does not bode well for you. If you are a developer or do code or have coded I am afraid I will have to depart your channel.....
Just kidding as an IT Support Engineer / System Admin I have to give you hell
Haha! I can’t say I do any coding any more but I certainly have coded in the past. I run a UI platform group so it makes sense that I like to make pretty things. 😜
@@TyrellKnifeworks Yeah my "coding" is just scripting in Powershell and Batch for automation purposes and some classes in BASH scripting...
