Doing Batches for a long time, but your approach definiately will help me to become even more organized. Great Tips. This was the most useful part of my day for sure.
In my batch processing I rarely find a problem with the muscle memory, but it saves so much time when you do the heat treat. Not to mention the power or gas costs associated with it For a wood grinder, I still find a lot of use out of the 4x36 machines with the little 6"/150mm disk sander on the side, so it doesn't have to be an expensive grinder for woodworking and they're set to run slower to begin with.
Solid video chaps 👌I think batch work is really important to a proper workflow. The batch size plays a big role too, to many and the stages seem insurmountable, too few and there’s no point. Hitting the sweet spot for your style and shop helps see things really rolling
Cheers dude! I remembered you making steak knives in batches and they were all handmade but still showed consistency in quality, part of it was because your skill (and good looks haha) but do you think making it all in one hit (forgive the pun) helped?
This is something I absolutely agree with. One of my largest issues is forgetting the process after a project is done, and being unable to reproduce it days or weeks later without making a couple of failed attempts in between. Batch work is the answer for me.
Cheers Rob! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video despite not aligning with the concept of batch making. When you’re making full time, hopefully this will be of some help 🤩
It would lovely sum up everything with a saying I heard TJ Schwarz say "Systemise the predictable so you can humanise the exceptional" were you take notes and record all the processes. I myself I to do batch work as little as possible, only when it has big returns, and lean (pun intended) towards "One-piece flow".
I have been tempted to try making a small batch of knives (I've only ever made one knife at a time) I think I'd struggle with it though. I'm don't have have very much patience 😂😂 And as always a great video.
Hi Seb thanks for your comment! I understand what you mean haha - especially if you’re used to making one at a time. But i hope the video makes sense. Thanks for watching!
Cool that you’re putting Spåre in the spotlight. Good maker and all-around nice guy.
Hi Korvid thanks for watching! Fredrik is definitely a great cool maker!

thanks Trent. I know you have some insight into this and I love trying to convince people to work in larger batches :)

A very practical approach that benefits both the creators and the customers.

just finished doing a batch of knives for the first time. You stated this perfectly. My skills went up drastically in the process.
Cheers buddy! Great to hear you’re already doing this! Your tips and feedback are also appreciated!

Thanks for sharing! The 4” belt sanders are very useful for sure, especially when paired with a disc sander!
Thanks for watching!

Take notes. Write down what seems obvious at the moment, you'll thank yourself later. It only takes a few minutes before bed and it's fun!
Thanks dogsalad and cackling pikeman! Wonderful to hear that you guys found value in the video!
The most usefull tips to increase work flow, quality and consistency. Thank you for sharing
You're so welcome!
Clear advice obviously coming from experience. I don't make enough knives for batches to make sense but I can appreciate a well thought out process :)
