    this does make me want to go out into the garage to do this! i started watching these videos from you and others just over a year ago, i got myself a grinder, blet and wheel. just need to get myself a little coffee can forge. I did a practice run with some aluminium. mostly to get to grips with cutting and sanding ect. next up is to heat something up. hopefully i will have the funds for it just after christmas and i will find up an old rusty chisel or something. just wanted you to know that content creators like yourself are encouraging others to give it a try and learn a skill. so thanks, keep posting.

    I like your work, and find it inspiring. I've been meaning to make a wrench knife, but don't have any broken ones, and can't bring myself to use a functional one as raw material. Have even bought several garage sale wrenches to sacrifice, but end up using them as wrenches. I'll get around to it someday.
    Do you use it, and if so, how did the steel perform as a blade?

      Thanks! I appreciate you watching! I have never even used it, a lot of the ones I make like this one are more novelty items to sit on a shelf, but I have had people buy them in the past and actually use them, they say they hold up pretty well for the most part.

      Thanks! I appreciate you watching! They make some really cool knives, and harden pretty good as well.

      @@Mysticmountainforge what oil do you quench them in?

      I have used vegetable oil in the past with pretty good results, I use parks 50 now days.

    I’m about to attempt to make a knife out of a crescent wrench for myself. What did you quench yours in?

      I use parks 50 now but had really good results with cooking oil in the past. I appreciate you watching.

    Yeah, not attempting that until I have a press or power hammer.

    All these people with their why didn't you do this or why didn't you do that... It all boils down to one simple fact, it's your wrench and you can do whatever the hell you want with it.
    End of discussion.
