Very cool idea, well done. Somebody just asked me to do a project like this and he wants me to send a sheep shears. I usually don't do knifes but now just started to thinking about it. Very creative idea I reckon.😊
@@RestorationAustralia do you mean the belt grinder? It's 2x72 84 Engineering shopmaster google them you'll find a company called Gameco Artisan Supplies in Australia. You can also look at a 1x30 belt grinder as they are a cheap way to start mate.
Thanks mate. It wasn't my idea but you should definitely do one mate. It is funny sometimes I actually see people trying to sell old shears for like $30. Hahaha
Sheer genius. Giggle No really I like it. Made short work of them shrooms too. Good to see ya mate. Steer clear of them sickos now 🙏 blessed be brother Crawford out 🧙♂️
this is one of my lockdown projects :) bought the shears a while ago, now finally have time to do it. just cut the shears today. one of the blades is a bit bent but will try and straighten it. Did you heat treat? If yes, how? thank you!
Hi mate no I didn't heat treat it because I was happy with its edge holding. Check it with a file. If you etch it in feric or vingar you can actualy see the differential heat treat line along the blade. If I was to re heat treat it I'd probably treat it like any mystery Steel and heat till non magnetic and the quenching in 30- 40c canola oil bud. And temper for 2 x2 hours at about 190-200c. This is just what I'd do. Hope it helps bro. Good luck

Awesome man have a great time dude. There's heaps of ways of doing these. Thanks
@@TobyFireandSteel Can I ask you what is that sharpening stone thingy and where can I get that. I'm no expert in knife making.

Now make another one so I can see how you removed the material for the join between steel and wood 😂 nice work
Hahaha slowly lol. Thanks bud
@@TobyFireandSteel just trace it on to the handle and grind it back?
Yeah basically bro just take little bits off at a time and keep trying it then once it fits in well. You can shape the handle bit itself.
Look up 'Forjadosdelmonte' for inspiration!
Thanks
Any idea of the type of steel? Is it hardenable ? @ignis_rex 😉
No mate I don't know. I'd say it's a simple spring Steel but I'm pretty sure I've seen or know of people to read heat treat them.
