One tip I give, as a wood worker, is on how to "bake" wood. If someone is concerned about the porosity of their wood, or maybe they don't know if it's been stabilized, you can bake the wood to help make it more structurally sound. You don't need special tools either! Step 1: Move your rack in your oven to the lowest possible position Step 2: Turn your oven on to about 215°F (ideally in convection mode) and let it reach temperature. Step 3: Put your wood blocks onto a baking sheet and place them on the low rack Step 4: Bake for approximately 1 hour Step 5: Remove and place wood on a cooling rack (like what you use for cookies) and cool to room temp From there, you should have a much more stable piece of wood! Combine that with a good oil finish or lacquer and your handle should be very durable and last a long time!
I’m thrilled it was both timely and educational! Definitely check out the Dagger Challenge announcement today and consider building along with us! Thanks for watching!
I’m currently refilming my Intermediate Series where I build a hidden tang knife in-depth step by step. Check that playlist out and follow along. 👍. Thanks for watching.
Every time I watch your videos I learn how to make better knives thatnk you for taking the time to make these videos and I know it is a lot of work to film and make stuff but you do a great job!!
I've had good results using short Sawzall blades in a round handle for hogging out wood from hidden tang handles. The webbing left from drilling is easier to square up with hand files after this low tech broaching step . Just throwing it out there! 👍 😃
I’ve mentioned drill bits in older videos. I use CleLine drill bits. You don’t need carbide or anything like that. Just drill slowly with cutting oil. Thanks for watching!
I was working on a couple hidden tang knives yesterday. I buggered both of the up because I skipped a few steps that you covered today. I have done it correctly in the past but, I thought I could do it anyhow. Apparently not. Bugger... I may restart. Not sure yet. I'll give it a quick sanding and see how much blow out I have on my pin.
That’s how I do it. I’m usually doing multiple blades but never thought to put the blade in the vise then clamp the handle 😂 I can always pick up something new!
Brad point bits are only good for wood. Since you need to also touch/mark/drill the tang, you'll need a standard drill bit anyway. They are good for some operations though. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the lesson. I have had trouble with the pins on a kit knife and my first knife. I hope you enjoyed your trip to Hawaii. Also, are you going to be at the Blade Show in Atlanta?
I’m happy the tips were helpful. Hawaii was great, my son got married there. I will be at both Blade Texas (no table) and Blade Atlanta (with a table). Come by and say hi!
If you want your pins at 1/8”, then drill the hole in the tang at 3/16” (or the metric equivalent if you’re not in the US). That gives you some room to play and it will be filled with epoxy anyway. Thanks for watching.
Any other tips I missed here? Let me know if you have other questions on this topic. 👍🏻
You dominate this blade creation skill 'splainin'. Thank you for sharing your teaching/experience.

@@A-Non_kma thanks, I’m glad it was helpful!
Currently putting together my first hidden tang knife, this vid couldn’t have come at a better time. Stellar vid as always!
Same here, good luck.
@@benterbieten9540 thanks brother, you too!

Every time I put a hidden tang handle, I watch it. Superb
Thanks for watching, again! 😉
That last trick with the vise is going to come in super handy. Thanks

Great tips! I especially liked the tip of putting the wood dust in the epoxy to help it match the wood!
I’m happy it was useful! Thanks for watching, Isaac!
Man! This is the video I have been searching for. You unlocked a new level in my knife making. Thank you.
I’m glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Cześć Tyrell.Bardzo przydatne i ważne wiadomości dla wszystkich ktorzy robia nie tylko noże.Masz like i suba pozdrawiam.
Dziękujemy za dołączenie!

Yes, absolutely. I use a jigsaw blade for the same purpose. It's a little narrower than a sawzall blade as well. Thanks for mentioning that tip!
Fascinating, thanks
Thanks for watching, Russell! ❤️
Great tip's keep up your great work Denis!
Thanks for watching, Jeff!
Thanks for the tips this is so helpful. Could you do something on drill bits you use. I burn up so many bits

Nice Tips Denis! 👍 Thanks Brother. 😉
Thanks for watching! 👍
Great triple T lesson Brother ❤ Thanks for that....
Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍🏻
@@TyrellKnifeworks Your very welcome Brother. Watching your shows is easy and the comments are heartfelt ❤ God bless you and your loved ones Brother 💟

Sometimes if you haven’t ground down the block it’s fine. Thanks for watching

We all learn new stuff from each other. 👍. I’m sure I learned this from somebody else but I can’t remember who.
My dust get sucked up by the dust collector. ☹ Great tips here, thank you.
Just take a piece of sandpaper and sand off a corner of your block and then keep the dust. 👍 Thanks for watching
nice job. you might try to find long brad point drill bits instead of the standard point. it'll keep your bit from wandering. just a thought.

SHEESH
The tip of not forcing the bit through the tang is $$$.
I’m glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching
Do all hidden tang knives require a guard...I am dying to try one without.
They don’t *require* one but it’s a good idea. That or a bolster at least. I’ve done G10 bolsters before. Thanks for watching, Jeffrey.
@@TyrellKnifeworks I watch them all...so helpful for a new maker like myself.
Where can i get long drill bits?
Any big box hardware store usually has them. If not, I'm sure you can order them online.
What do you mean drill two sizes bigger hole in tang?
If you want your pins at 1/8”, then drill the hole in the tang at 3/16” (or the metric equivalent if you’re not in the US). That gives you some room to play and it will be filled with epoxy anyway. Thanks for watching.
@@TyrellKnifeworks Thanks👍🏼
Guess make next knife will be hidden tang
Try it out, Jerry! Thanks for watching

Přál bych si, aby se vrták při vrtání čepele zakousl, když ho držíš za ostří. Třeba ti neuřeže všechny prsty. Jen některý. Však máš ještě druhou ruku.
Díky za sledování
