A lot of people have asked about the polishing stones! I will be making another video covering them in more detail soon! In the meantime the polishing stones I show in the video are 'CS-M' grade stones. I use the 1/4x1/2" size and I buy mine from MoldShopTools.com, here's a link to the right ones: www.moldshoptools.com/catalog/list.php?category_id=77&start=39
I buy the eBay edge pro stones, take off the plastic backing and have polishing sones for this. Super cheap and effective with many grit options available
This is the first video I've ever seen of yours. That's a fine little knife, very handy looking. I make knives by using the stock removal method, cutting and filing, and eventually it becomes a knife. I like watching the machining process, that was fascinating. 👍
Why are you uploading so rarely? I love your videos and perfectionism! Workshop is perfect - super clean and tidy! If i will ever have one, I want it to look like yours :)
Thanks bud! The videos take a *long* time to make (this one took almost 5 days just of editing) and I have also been super busy so it's been hard to find time!
@@GoughCustom This guy from above brought me here and my mind is blown. Man, I could help you voluntarily with editing just so you could more make and share awesome stuff. Let me know if you would be interested at jakub@skylarks.io, I think we might find an aesthetic connection!
Mr.Gough Thank you! That whetstone stick trick is a GOD SEND! As soon as I saw this video I scooped up a cheap $9 set from Amazon. Grit from 80 to 1000. They wear a bit quickly but you get more bevels done then you would with any sandpaper in HALF the time. They are a consumable but cheaper than sandpaper. Internet fist bump. 🤜🤛 👍
Really glad it was helpful mate! If you need better stones I get mine from MoldShopTools.com, I use the CS-M grade stones and they are magic! Sorry for the slow response! 🤣
I really appreciate all the explanations on this video - I've been hand-finishing commercially bought kitchen knives - remaking the bevels and edge to a lot more aggressive specs and your tips on how you finish your knives really validate what I've been doing. Amazing knife as always :)
I've missed your videos! But ive been following you closely on Instagram. I'm so excited with all the progress in you shop and am very excited for the future!
Thanks very much mate, sorry it has taken me so long to respond! I am excited for the future too! Seems like I am always at the start of a new journey!
Місяць тому
I gained a whole new appreciation for how you design and make your knives by watching this video several times. You are really good with the CAD drawing and also with the milling and finishing processes. I like the little knife a lot...very Kool !! I may try those stones....I do a lot of hand sanding so if they help that's great. Thank you Aaron...great video.
Thanks bud! Yeah it's pretty crazy what the CNC can do when everything is setup right! It has taken me a long time to get it worked out, but it has been worth it!
@@GoughCustom makes all the rest of us handsanders really jealous. But again a cool knife! Resolute still my reference though. Great vid and thx for the mold making stones tip. Never thought of it
I've watched all of your videos and I'm so excited to see a new one, glad you plan on doing more and yes that is a beautiful blade! I love how you explain all the steps involved, thanks!
That bevel machining was super impressive. And doing hard milling is always impressive. And it's always cool seeing stuff be made in (basically) one op! If you want more consistency, and less hand work, I feel like it would be better to mill all the way through the outside of the part, except for the tabs on the first op. This would also put the tabs all the way at the bottom instead of the center which means that the chamfer, assuming it is larger than the tabs, would hide the evidence of errors, so to speak. Of course you need it to be held while machining, so you'd have to drill and tap a couple holes in your fixture that you could put a couple of screws through the decorative holes, that way the part doesn't move during the chamfer. Or if you're lazy, clamp one side, chamfer the opposite side, M0, swap, repeat. The screwing or clamping would probably be needed for bevel machining as well so the tabs don't break. Maybe your way was less risky. /shrug Great vids and knives man. Keep it up!
I remember those videos with your filing jig that most of us made at home and now with that CNC process. You are really good at whay you do. Keep it up with the great work and give us more videos!
Great to see you back. Have watched ALL of your past videos and enjoyed each and every one. Continue to be impressed by your process, how clean your shop is, your attention to detail, and the quality of your product. Awesome work! Thanks for sharing!
What a fantastic video and knife! I want to complement you on not being annoying or arrogant like *cough* some other maker on YT. Very concise and well edited. Thank you!
Great to see you back, it's been a while! Thanks for sharing. I enjoy your videos, I am sure a lot of others like em too and have been waiting as well.
Thank you for the very interesting video! Your approach to making knives is impressive! I am from Ukraine, I watch your channel with great pleasure and look forward to every video. respectfully
Aaron, your thorough approach to making knives is only admirable. You are a man of great mind and it is very nice to see the consequences of this fact. Thanks man, you're really cool. I am pleased to write this to you.☝
Thanks bud! a good friend of mine drew that for me! If you get a good look at the drawing you can see the Chief has a Resolute in a sheath on his forearm! :)
Great to see ya back Aaron. It has most certainly been too long! By the way, the filing guide has worked, and continues to work like a charm. It is now my son's tool and he loves it. Be well.
I've been taking CNC classes since watching you automate your own processes a many years ago, and some of my classmates even recognized your channel when we talked about knife-makers on youtube. Welcome back!
It’s fascinating how you have changed your craftsmanship to a more technological workflow! I’ve been subscriber (or at least viewer, I can’t remember correctly 🤪) since you’ve made your classic knife for the dude who went to the Antarktis! Fully relying on your „normal“ tools. Now you program CNC machines to make even better knifes! It’s not often seen that people like you transfer to the more modern, technological workflow which is really cool to see!🤩😜
Thanks very much mate! I hope to keep pushing things even further! I plan to start inventing/building new machines to further improve my quality and consistency!
Nice video). Glad to see you are back again and see that you are continuing to refine things in you shop. You should perhaps do an updated shop tour sometime.
Another great work, I love how passionate and precise you are . watching all your videos one by one . I hope you make more content very soon. specially from your trial and errors on different materials and techniques .
Great to see you back! You inspired me to make my own knifes. I just finished one with your hand file setup. And im slowly getting better at knife making. Keep up the good work!
@@nickolasr7270 Ouch! I use much less expensive tools and they work great, here's one of the tools I'm using in the video: www.maritool.com/Cutting-Tools-End-Mills-Finishers-Square-End-5-Flute-and-Higher/c78_79_80_131/p18004/.250-dia-6-flute-sqr-TiALN-carbide-finisher-.060R-.375-LOC/product_info.html
Excellent video, beautiful knife. Thank you for that. I wish you could have shown us how the knife actually looked like when you are holding it, I mean showing us the ergonomics.
Wow what a pleasant surprise to see you alive and well, Aaron! That's looks like a wonderful blade! I'm really looking forward to seeing some fresh content from you!
Good stuff Aaron. What an elegant blade. Been following you on social medias for a long time. It’s been so cool to see your development from doing pretty much everything by hand, to now, being able to produce these fine blades on your own CNC machine. Stoked!
Good to be back! Thanks for letting me know! Seems like lots more people want one that I thought, I will have to look into actually making them for sale!
Nice piece friend .... how expensive you sell. It was a surprise to watch a video of you again. As always a pleasure to see you teacher. A greeting from Spain

Gough Custom Thanks again!
Really appreciate the info!! ive been looking for those since I watched this. not sure what grits to get but I grabbed some 400 and 600 to try
I bought grits 240 thru 800, the one inch ones cover best. Great idea, thanks!
I buy the eBay edge pro stones, take off the plastic backing and have polishing sones for this. Super cheap and effective with many grit options available

Haha, thanks bud! The beard just sort of happened, can't seem to keep it away! :)
Very Edward the 7th.

What a nice way to make a knife
Thanks mate! Yeah it was overall fairly convenient!
I love little knifes like this.
Glad you like it mate!
I’d buy one right away. LOVE the blade shape. Also beard is killing it!
Thanks Jason! A lot of people seem to like the knife so I will have to look into actually making them for sale!

You put months worth of work and detail into the content you upload. Love your work
Thanks Sean! Yeah making a video definitely takes a lot of time, really glad to share it with you though!
First time I have seen hardened milling before, and at 6:12 your finishing pass finish is amazing. Outstanding video Aaron, thank you.
Thanks mate! Yeah hard milling can produce incredible results when you get it right!

As usual, ‘absolutely fantastic’ 👍😄
Thanks very much Kenneth!
Digging that master chief drawing in the background.
Thanks bud! a good friend of mine drew that for me! If you get a good look at the drawing you can see the Chief has a Resolute in a sheath on his forearm! :)
That is amazing and very impresive.
Thanks very much Marko!

Yeah that is one of my favorite parts as well! At least when it all goes right! :)
