Hi sir, I’m sure you’ve said it a million times, but can I please have the names for your hydronic press and other machines? I really appreciate you and I love your channel.
The press is a 12-ton press from Coal Iron Works. I'm not sure which other machines you're referring to. I built my 2x72 grinder. The forge is a heavily modified Hell's Forge double burner. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching! 🤙
I use diamond stones by Ultra Sharp, and the angle guide is by Wedgek. There are links to both in the video description and on my website www.davidmoonforge.com under the product links tab.
You bet, thanks for watching! 🤙 I did a full video on sharpening awhile back. That might be helpful if you're looking for sharpening tips. ua-cam.com/video/npKE-Hu4r3A/v-deo.htmlsi=3mmfhSe7BQtTgRLl
@DavidMoonForge i definitely struggle with it. I also struggle with figuring out if i did the heat treat correctly and have the blade hard enough. I am slow at this and slowly getting the things i need to be successful and making my first good knife, with a sharp edge.
@@chrismansfield3126 keep at it. Knife making is a journey, not a destination. The more knives you make, the better you'll get. Just keep learning and try to have fun with it. I've made a lot of knives that weren't even good enough to give away, let alone sell.
ua-cam.com/play/PLl9h2LphX_wkG4lSsqqjqZy6yaPz6aX5_.html&si=jNMQ8KK8JAGmfeHd this is what I use to cut sandpaper. Very small footprint and works really well.
Yeah, I've seen that trick using a hacksaw blade. I attached one to the work bench once, but it always felt kind of slow and clunky to use. With the guillotine paper cutter I cut 2 - 4 sheets at a time, depending on the grit/thickness of the paper. That seems to be faster for me. I definitely like the smaller footprint of the hacksaw blade thing though. Thanks for watching and sharing! 🤙
@DavidMoonForge has the blade dulled at all with the paper cutter? Too be honest that was the reason I passed on that idea I thought the sandpaper would screw up the blade ro quickly.
@@TheMotownPhilly no, I've cut hundreds of sheets with it, and it still works great. You just need to apply some lateral pressure on the handle when you cut so that it pushes the blade arm towards the cutting platform.
Awesome work David beautifully done blade.
Thank you! I appreciate that! 🤙

What was the name of that sharpener in your video?
