A thing of beauty. Strange, not replicable by mass production, and only the very first one may be owned by it's inventor. This might be the very definition of art.
Tim I really like the bottle opener you made out of the cable.
I was just watching the cable drift video and was thinking that a good way to sections off without having to reassemble the cable like you had to in the last video is to use those metal clamps, we call em refrigerator clamps, that you use to tighten hoses and vents to things with a screwdriver. Put two of em on near each end of the piece you wanna cut and tighten, cut it then weld it while the clamps hold it all together.
Letsssss goooo.
This gave me an idea for a completely useless (except as a paper weight or just a weird piece of art) but cool thing. Now... Hear me out. Damascus bagel lol (like the food bagel). When you squished the cable down in the power hammer it just reminded me of a bagel for some reason, but there are some bagels that have awesome looking swirls in them and would look so cool made from Damascus.
thank you timothyشكرا لك
A cable ball peen hammer.
That a handsome looking work button up shirt you got. What material is it
Hey Tim, I was really keen on buying one of these bottle openers, but $120 for shipping on a $30 item to Australia seems a bit over priced? Fair enough for one of the bigger items like an axe, but that can't be right for a less than 1kg package, can it? Let me know, thanks! Love your videos. Nick
I know it drives me nuts! I am so sorry. I haven’t been able to figure something better out. Totally appreciate you wanting to support.
Unfortunately tracked and insured shipping from Canada is crazy expensive. The last time somebody asked me to send a package non tracked to Australia it took 78 days to arrive. Not good if you are trying to run a business.
@@TimothyDyck ahh all good! Just thought it may have been a default/mistake on the store. I might have to psych myself up to buying a $500 axe that I don't need instead 😆
@@nickbenn51 You need one for sure
The shipping market is blown. A 50$ piece from usa cost 750$ to ship to norway. Just need to wait for the market to calm down
A hammer from the cable that would be cool. Imagine if you drag the sides down is then like damaskus?
Would an etch do anything interesting to it? Maybe just to darken the crevices for contrast? Tons of cool texture to it. Good job.
Very cool!
"Fractured opener" doesn't sound like you put much "care" into the name Haha "Busted Bottle Opener" is alittle catchier Lol Have at it, if you'd like to use it. I'm gonna try an old-fashioned opener with some of my cable, we'll see what happens Haha
I think you should try a pry bar out of the cable!!! I did one out of a stem from the head of a high-performance race motor head? The litter part in a motor Haha The fun part was they're Titanium!!! Lol That got interesting punching the lanyard holes, I do it ALL by hand 😉
A cable Damascus traditional tobacco pipe would be super cool! Could be the only one in existence!!! Id buy one haha. Would be a super cool video too!!! Could go “viral” as the kids say haha
as someone with disabilities, including pretty serious joint issues This looks really cool! I'li tell you, when I clicked on "bottle opener" I wasn't expecting this, would be cool to see a traditional (flat) opener with a cable handle too
Tim, Tim here too. I'd like to see what a wrought iron bottle opener would turn out like. I just found a supply of really nice grain wrought and I'm excited to try making all kinds of things with it. So of course with wrought in the brain that was the first thing I thought of when I saw this video. Keep the content and the products coming!
Try one in 400 series stainless round bar slug..Salt in Canada plays havoc with the plain stuff!
I figured the natural progression was to make all kinds of stuff from the cable. I hope this isn't all you make with it. It's such a cool idea! ☺️
Would it forge weld better if you cleaned or burned off the oils and impurities from the individual strands before you MIG weld them all together?
The porosity on the top of the bottle opener is from the mig right? 7:21
it would be cool if you combine different types of cable the way you do to make some weird Damascus maybe if that's even possible
make a single piece hatchet out of cable, your already a phenomenal axe maker shouldn't be to hard for a man with your talents
How about Titanium bottle opener? Imagine the colors!🤩😍
Ive seen pictures but I haven’t seen the process done. Can you make a knife out of a railroad spike where the end of the knife is the head of the spike
Make a canister Damascus bottle opener out of normal bottle openers or just a plain Damascus one
Amazing video, can you attempt a centre punch from bottle caps if possible at all
How about some knives, swords, or tools other than axes, bottle openers, and pliers
I like that every time I pop on to this channel that you're making something even cooler than the last time!
Keep up the great work.
Respect:
So how much exactly does your awesome titanium hammer actually weigh? I would of thought it would be a bit on the light side for what you do.
Kind of wonder if you could make a money clip from a strand/strands from the larger cable section
Cool tim most people in America wouldn't be kind enough to send someone something that was someone else idea. Most just hear ideas and use them for themselves
Cool looking bottle opener 👍. How does your tooling work to leave the lip on the inside to catch on the bottle cap?
That’s rad! How many loonies would you need for a Ti version? For uh….a friend
Yeah looks like bound up roots. I think it's pretty neat.
Your bottle openers are evolving and become cooler! 😎
I think there's too much cable in it, feels like it didn't fit right in the shaping tool.
What is the benefit or cons of having/using a coal forge compared to a gas one?
What about a cable hammer? That would be a fun thing
Interesting idea. I wonder if you would be able to find a source for 2" or 3" diameter cable offcuts that would make the project easier. Another idea for cable items would be to work with a longer length of cable, forge a bit more solid than you need then cut that section off. That way you wouldn't have to cut it and then weld both ends and then forge it.
Can u make center punch from inconel or titaniom?
How about an ax head made of cable with etching?
This was awesome! What if you make a hammer out of this cable
This is the best of them by far! Keep 'em coming.
the next video will be an axe out of this cable
Tim, once again, where is the etch!
How about a Shoe Horn made out of cable?
Not a huge fan of the cable version, but the bottle openers in general are awesome! I own a couple and love them.
Titanium bottle opener?
I love the texture great video
What an accident waiting to happen
I think it looks great.
Pretty darn awesome
Thats such a cool idea.
Cable forged ax?
Cable letter opener?
Why would u want to?
cable hammer or axe
Yo yo yo
Cable axe? 😂
Cable axe? 😁
Pretty sweet
Timothy time. Time with Tim. Always good to see a new video my friend. You always explain everything very well. This project turned out very awesome. Very nice job my friend. Hopefully you get great use out of it for many years to come my friend. Can't wait to see more videos soon Timothy. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God Bless.
Awesome!
Have you tried making knives out of damascus? I bet damascus out of this rope would look sick! You could even add some metal rods and other stuff to make a complex pattern.
I still wanna see someone make a cable damascus hammer. I know it was being discussed on one of my Facebook groups as a guy had a MONSTER chunk of some kind of cable on his hands but nothing ever came of it.
I could probably do eh. Don’t think it would be too tough. Could look pretty sweet. Finish it like I did the flashlight….
Yeah, that finish on something that big would look amazing. If you decide to try something like that I'd love to see the video.
Hi Tim, love the content you kick out! Really enjoying seeing the progress and optimisation that comes with it. I’m not in anyway a blacksmith, I’m a baker in a similar small scale environment and as such really enjoying the evolution/growing in that regard.
Keep it up! Shout out to Martin the workhorse!?!
I think you should revisit the 3 cable tack but make it 5 and twist I vice to consolidate then weld. (maybe some tooling required?)
Plus make it longer and hot cut that way you may save the time on welding cable?
Again I have no experience but that’s the direction my mind went; hope it’s at least food for thought.
Hadn't thought about building up cable the way you did, but obviously it's a great idea. I have a lot of thinner cable I would like to use but need bigger stock, so I will try your technique, and thanks for sharing it!
Yes sir
👍
I like how you can see what it was, very raw. 👍
