Cleaver from two Farriers rasps.

- I have always fancied making a nice big cleaver but never had the right material. It suddenly struck me that I could just weld two rasps together!
This is the result with an antler handle.

Well done Gary! I like the look. Never thought of welding 2 rasps together. Great idea!
You have a very soothing voice, I've heard a lot of English people with soothing voices but yours is definitely up there with one of the most relaxing.
You can make it look easy and following you it does help.
Hay you just got me thinking the top can be mild steel , something to try
Gary I always learn at a relaxing lesson
.Thanks you Sir.
I did think about that but wanted to keep the pattern.
Really nice job Gary! Looks great, shiny, cool rasp pattern, the shape is great and the antler tops it off. Well done.
Glad you like it
Would the critics really say that? 😄😄
Saw this on Instagram earlier and have been looking forward the build
😂😂you know they would say worse!
Beautiful work, Gary. Over and above the workmanship, my favourite part was when you said "I'm going to see if I can get some nice penetration. I'm going to go from the back and hopefully it won't bend too much."
Just wanted to say, thank you sir. Your channel is very inspiring. I've been messing around with making knives for about 9 years. Just a hobby. In fact, your ferrier rasp video is what got me going to purchase a forge. So now, I've got to try making this cleaver. Hope it turns out as good as yours did.
Cheers!
Thanks, hope it goes well!
I am forever in your debt for that "bag trick." I harden antlers and bones before I use them for scales by vacuuming them with thinned 50/50 acetone-acrylic, and that glue bag trick will be the icing on the cake for attaching them. Thanks...
Great idea, thanks for the video. God bless
Thank you for showing that a weld in a knife isn't always a bad thing, I can't tell ya how often I hear about it. If you're doing an etch I can see how would be bad, its probably a different color and could mess up the pattern. But most everything else it's as or stronger than what you're welding.
Lovely work and job well done. Who cares what critics say?!? It’s not in their hands.
I ended up making one, followed your makings to a "T" ....came out chapping. Bees knees...I gave it the beans...cuts through paper with ease...Cheers mate!
Great video, nice knife! Super tip with the epoxy, less junk and fiddling. "The thin blue line" part is hilarious. Thanks for sharing!
Thijs Nagtegaal glad you liked it!
Amazing idea to make a cleaver. Your skills as a welder are second to none amigo.
Greetings from Toronto.
Thank you 😊
Great work! Love your rustic approach yet comes out perfect. Your a great artist, I'm learning so much from your videos, thanks
Gary, Awesome build! To keep the softer core of the antler from absorbing grit, you can stabilize the scales. I've even seen superglue used to fill the porous core before the shaping to prevent discoloration. Well done, its beautiful!
The issue of the softer central antler material could be sorted at both ends by adding metal bolsters and pommel , and along the handle length by removing majority of thickness from the softer centre before the actual final fitting up. Nice job Gary , you're a talented , cleaver chap !!
You should be very proud of that cleaver. Very beautiful.
That is a damn clean weld my man!!
I try my best!😉
Great work! I love farrier files for cutting projects!👍👍👍👍
Me too!
Wow! Fabulous work! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video.
Thank you very much!
Great to start at very nicer looking there thank you for sharing this
Hello Gary, It Was a Pleasure to watch you make this Cleaver! and a Fnatastic Job you Did to it!! Very Nice Gary!
Thanks
Excellent work !!!
Thanks a lot!
Man that thing looks great!! Don’t worry about the handle, gives it character! It’s awesome!
That butcher knife turned out beautifully. Well done. ThankQ for sharing.

Great job I also restored a similar ax but made a embossed one there were large shells
The blacksmith could get a job anywhere in the world as a master welder!!!!!
Thanks.
That’s a really neat trick with the epoxy.
Love your work Gary, thanks for the videos.
Very welcome
I love the texture on the knife. I hate the polish mirror look where they destroy the character of the steel . you did a great job
Epoxy in a bag, brilliant! Darlington, South Carolina USA
Work smarter, not harder!
That epoxy in the bag is bloody genius.
Thanks
Very nice idea and follow through sir!!
Exelent work , awesome 👏 I’m a cook 👨🍳 and that’s something I could cut anything with.
Watched your video, then went on eBay and bought 5 more farrier rasps. Love the cleaver project.
That epoxy trick is genius!
I personally think it is amazing great choice of material with the antler 💯👍
Wow thats amazing work mate
Nice job on the cleaver, it looks great!
Cheers Gary, this is exactly what I needed to learn and chill the f out today! These Strange times are starting to get to me... Take care and be lucky fella.
Chill Jef! I am more chilled now under this lockdown than in my entire life! This is how life should be. No clock watching, no hassle, just do your own thing in your own time. I hope it never ends!
@@garyhuston I guess your still earning then?! Im glad some parts of the world are still being real people. Great video by the way.. It drew me back to the reality of life... You may have just saved not only me! Thanks again, (I'm sure this male moo cow deposits will dissapat) its good to see real people doing REAL work.
I guess I’m lucky, work as usual for me just without the fast pace we normally get.
Lovely bit of work Gary.
Brilliant. Best idea for epoxy I've seen so far.
Thanks 👍
Been doing it for ever. Never knew why people didn't. Works better to fill by putting the corner in between your fingers and folding the bag opening your fingers. Squirt the epoxy right in the corner for minimal air entrainment Also burp the air out of the bag. For best and easiest mix pinch the epoxy in the corner of the bag then rotate it circles on your open palm... Very nice video Gary.
Uma verdadeira obra de arte! O melhor e mais bonito que já vi!!! Parabéns pelo talento! Deus abençoe!
High carbon files make very good knives. I’ve been collecting Anza Knives since the 1980’s.
I got one! It is a favorite! My brother gave it to me.
I would've been one that said "you can't weld that without normalising first" but hey there ya go it stood up well to the bend test. MIG is low hydrogen so that helps. Great work.
Cool, perhaps your next one, weld them together clamped on a thick piece of aluminum to help transfer the heat so it doesn't warp to much. Thanks for sharing your talents.
what's the point when I will be running it through the fire anyway?!
Great video, lots of superb tips, but even if the rest of it had been m'eh, the epoxy trick is worth it's weight in gold. The rest wasn't m'eh, it was very informative, but I will never do epoxy any other way from now on. Thanks GH!
Very nice use of two old tools. However you do need to seal the antler as it is porous, which will allow for bacteria to grow in it. A penetrating oil that’s food safe will do the job to a point. The best is to use a poly finish used on counter tops and thin it out so it soaks in and seals the pores. Then light sanding to bring the antler back up to the surface. Butcher block oil wipe and your done.
Good idea with the epoxy bag, I usually put a few strips of masking tape on a work surface then mix epoxy with the free mixing sticks you get from Costa 😉, all most mess free.
Good vid.
Pete
I really like how you made it nice job sir!!!
Very nice work! I like the repurposing of the old files into something very useful. The antler looks like Elk, aka "Wapiti."
it's red deer.
Oh for a bigger shop know the feeling, nice peace looks great 👍.
That is beautiful! Kitchen tool that will last the next 100 years
I hope so!
Nice Lob1 the only thing that I would have done different, is make the scale's thinner, and left the Antler Finish.
Super nice welding job my friend 👍
Thanks 👍
Thank you for sharing this video.
The cleaver is really quite attractive and looks like it will give good service for more than one or two lifetimes.
Subscribed.
Thank you
Joli travail pour un début le manche à retravailler un petit peu !👍👍👍
VERY VERY NICE, COMPLIMENTI VIVISSIMI PER IL RISULTATO FINALE. .......10+++
Beautiful job my friend 👍
Oh I forgot to mention, I copied your filing vice haven’t used it yet but it looks to be very handy. Thank you for it.
Reminds me of the old beaver tail knives the fur trapers used. We use to make ours out the same thing.
Hi Gary just watched the video its brilliant, you keep coming up with new idea's and concepts, loved the epoxy trick, having said that some people drill out the pith from the antler and fill it with dye' d epoxy, you can sand like the rest of the handle. keep up the good work mate and stay safe. Mick
A beautiful cleaver. My only minor observation is that I would always be slightly concerned that I wouldn't be able to completely get out all food residue from in cleaning the blade. The grooves and divots left on the surface could collect food particles. There are ways of getting around it of course. It just would take a little longer to clean properly. As I said this is of only a slight concern with me. On the whole a great video and very nice looking cleaver.
Simple y sencillamente hermoso.....!!!
I mean the whole job is a wonderful the handgrip is also very good idea but you need more polishing on the grip .the 👍❤
Awesome built you made my day sir gee
Glad you liked it!
Hey, You are a bloody good Welder.
Thanks
Very nice weld job
👍 = there is nothing left to say! Everything perfect!
Excellent skill
Great job Gary , proudly UK made 👍
Absolutely
Don't know if anyone else said this already but, if you don't touch metal with the sand paper you won't get that black on the antler. It's tedious but you can do it without too much extra effort
Correct. Adding to this, just before getting to the metal, use crazy glue or some other clear glue to saturate the spongy end of the scale, to seal it. Once it is full solid, no other dust gets in there.
wonderful work . Congratulations from Belgium.
Thank you so much 😀
Very nice, well done Gary
Very good job 👏
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 😍
Fantastic Gary!
Many thanks!
Look like very good!
Great video Gary, liked the knowledge shared and awesome end result!! Best wishes from NZ
Many thanks
Loved your "Monty Python" It's not going to work remark.
Mr.Gary amazing knife.You have a new suscriptor from Mexico.😎
Hello Hello From Canada!!! Great stuff for a project to stay busy with! That was a brilliant way of mixing and dispensing the epoxy and I had to subscribe when I saw that because you tamed what usually turns into a messy beast. Keep up the awesome content. I can't wait to check out more of your channel.
Glad to have you aboard, please browse away. I have quite a variety of subjects. 👍🏻
@@garyhuston For sure the episodes are going to keep me busy for a long time with so many to choose from. Stay healthy and happy.
The special wire that you have to use in your welder is whatever you have in your machine. Make it work. Nice job.
Nothing special, just A18 mild steel!
Well done indeed. Love the rasp look with the antler handle. Glad to see you didn't go all mirror finish with it lol. Now I need to figure out how to get you to sell it to me :)
Thanks 👍
Just beautiful.
Damn that weld cutting tool you have is bad ass....works like laser cutting..
That’s beautiful!
Very nice, great work!!!
Thanks for the visit
Welldone....
A great result
Nice work. The file markings really look good on this.
Thanks!
Very nice job
Thank you
Beautiful..!!
I'd like it with a bit of Outter Cortex left on the Antler (Texan)...
To reduce the Honeycomb you would need to remove more material from the Inside of your Scale medium as apposed to doing most of your reduction from the Outside. I've not found a way to keep the Steel Dust out of the Honeycomb... Call it a Feature as opposed to a Flaw!
Cheers from Southeast Texas!
nice trick with the baggie
Fascinating build. I thought the idea of welding the two files was very creative, but the way you mixed your epoxy was brilliant. Thanks for sharing. Your cleaver turned out nice, how has it held up?
It’s held up just fine.
Very very nice Gary.
Many thanks
The first time I see how epoxy is mixed without cups, how could I not think of it myself? The cleaver is excellent! Good luck
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice job Gary! You should try to make a set of the dragon candle holders I’m interested in how they’re made
I'd like to know too!
Good job Gary I like your work shop .
Thanks 👍
WOW wonderful teacher, a beautiful ax 🙄🙄🤪🤪🔥🔥❤️
Thank you! 😃
I enjoy reading Gary's replies to stupid comments 🤣
Very good job!
