Awesome! That's a great idea. I like those knives made from sheep shears.

[@samaker4]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed them.

[@bushcraftonbike687]

Great looking knifes! As soon as I get my hands on a pair of those scissors I will do something liek that as well. Just finished my video of a Karambit out of old Scissors and nom I´m totally into experiencing with different kinds of scissors, shears and things like that.

[@davebauerart]

Great video. I found a pair of those in my barn and I didn't know what they were. I don't have any sheep so a project seems like a cool idea.

[@samaker4]

Fantastic! Have fun!

[@howler6490]

Just imagine...a nice piece of desert ironwood or aged olive and some hand crafted screw heads.
You do that and the value increases tenfold...
Just a thought my friend,just a thought.

[@techedfireman4981]

Great one! I don't know what it is about shears like that...but I feel guilty doing something to them when I find them. I'm not in sheep country here in the states so maybe I feel that they have a long history from when they were used.

[@samaker4]

Interesting, I have no emotional attachment to them. I picked up two pairs of them the other day for almost nothing. Now at least this pair have a purpose again.

[@Traderjoe]

They came out nice! What kind of wood was it again?

[@samaker4]

Braai wood :) The type is Rooikraans. You bye then in bags at the petrol stations and burn them to barbecue with.

[@lydashop5746]

you make me want to try this

[@samaker4]

Listen to that feeling and do it!

His work was interesting to me, to the rustic appearance of the tool he added his touch, very well presented. Greetings from Argentina.
PS: What is your nationality?

[@samaker4]

Thanks. I'm a South African

[@ricardomerlo4878]

very interesting, it must be an incredible country. Some time ago I saw a documentary about an immense shark that was called "submarine". I also read some books by Wilbur Smith. If you ever travel to Argentina, let me know.

[@nah3080]

Awesome video Hugo! Jy moet meer messe maak! Vraag is net, HOE GAAN JY JOU SKAPE SKEER!?

[@frro28]

Baie oulike idee. Ek gaan dit ook doen.

[@samaker4]

Maak so!

[@Yourtrashmytreasure]

Very nice. Make something useful out of something old.

[@samaker4]

Thanks

[@brastdoor1231]

Robust and rough. Compliment from the Netherlands!

[@mambabhubesi2505]

yo ndoda I like your thinking. mihle imbese yakho

[@philbricole4801]

c'est spécial j'ai l’impression qu'il faut des grosses main pour ce genre de couteau

[@samaker4]

Indeed :)

[@mambobond]

Lekker 👍🏻😎

[@samaker4]

Thanks

[@katarzynaczechowicz3002]

Szkoda takich nożyc, teraz już się takich nie kupi 😞

[@samaker4]

You can still buy them :)

[@katarzynaczechowicz3002]

sa-maker As for me, they are destroyed now. You killed them 😑

[@samaker4]

Yes I did. But I made something beautiful out of them. You can still buy these shears in the shops, plus there are a lot of them in junk shops here in South Africa

[@katarzynaczechowicz3002]

Only old shears. This what is produced now is usless. Expensive junk... 😞

[@Cubic5]

Dit is nou baie beter as wat my poging was.

[@samaker4]

Dankie. Waar in Suid Afrika is jy?

[@Cubic5]

Bronkhorstspruit

[@samaker4]

Nice, dis lekker om van ander Suid Afrikaanse UA-cams te hoor.

[@tedvicarri6153]

Great idea...music irritating ....

[@samaker4]

thanks

[@Cockatehoe69]

shame the steel in those old shears are very poor
