So good to see you Will. Been years since I followed your work on KKF and don’t own any of your work but love your personality and finally get to see you on video. Carry on chap! Cheers
Hi Rob! Yup yup, this one is a very chunky knife indeed! And super thanks for the appreciation on my attempt at being a videographer hahaha! I have learnt lots in the last year that I’ve been doing this and I think my background as a photographer has helped but videography is a different animal altogether. Lots more to learn and I look forward to making more videos for you guys! Don’t forget to check out our old videos, I hope it doesn’t make you cringe with the quality of my videography back then hahaha! - Vinz
This 10 minute video was probably about 3.5 hours worth hahaha! And Will was far from finished as well, he was going to go on for another few more go’s! I can imagine you doing exactly the same hahaha!
Yup. Going from 320 to 1000 or anything around that is just fine. Good diamond stones cut so efficiently that there's no real need to get too fussy on intervals.
The video might be good from an artistic point of view, but it’s frustrating with the camera moving everywhere while I’m trying to look at what he’s describing. Evidently a good video for experienced people to watch by the comments, because they knew what he was describing, but as an instructional video for a beginner it have no idea which parts of the edge he was fixing
Hi Jason thanks for taking time to comment and I appreciate your feedback. This specific video (or all “Makers Gonna Make” series) aren’t designed to be instructional videos but purely “inspirational” videos. I am more than happy to make instructional videos if you feel that would be helpful? Again, thanks for your feedback!
Dust is always a problem isn’t it? It doesn’t show on the video but Will actually has dust extractors in the room. Also because Will forges the geometry/bevels etc, there’s barely any grinding work done 🥳 thanks for the comment Knoz! Is this your first UK Bladeshow video?
@@UKBladeshow Yes it is ! But that comment is coming from a person who has disassembled and cleaned abused machinery and owns a less powerful belt grinder. I can add 1+1. In general, grinding machinery should not even be in the same room as non-enclosed machinery of any type. Will it be as bad as rough turning iron sand castings ? No. I have seen what 50 years of that do to a lathe of the highest quality 1960s super heavy production pattern and it is frightening, eventually the dust even gets into oil gallerys, blocking automatic bed lubricators and wholly ruining the machine because the owners did not notice it in time. But still, abrasive dust should be kept away. Just put the lathes in the opposite corner of the room, at least this is heavy dust much unlike wood and most will settle quickly.

The videography is amazing. And that is a big knife!

Stellar work!
Your videos are massively underrated :)
Thanks Magnus appreciate your comment and glad you have enjoyed the videos! Speak to you again soon!
Chasing down those scratches 🤘 and yes, the low spots are often in the same place in my bevels, it’s a pest 🙌🙌🙌

Love this channel!
Cheers Bohemian Garage! Happy to have you on this channel too! Hope to see you in out other vids! Thanks again!
Interesting the large gaps in the diamond plate grits. Learn something new every video :)
I was equally intrigued and would definitely love to learn more about diamond plates! Have a good 2022 Rob!!!
@@UKBladeshow You too, Vinz :)

Goddamn this is beautiful

Cool
Hi again John! Thanks for dropping by to comment! Will is a legend at making knives for sure!
Y'all need better lighting in that shop
Hi mate yeah I do - Will had a big workshop and we were working a lot later than we expected. I hope the video was still enjoyable?
Oh dear, all those grinders around that poor lathe :/ The dust will be everywhere.....
