    Rebar is my favorite general purpose forging material.

    I thought it was a simple how to bend steel video, surprisingly it was quite informative. Useful tips about sparks. Keep up the good work.

    Also,one more way to identify high carbon steel is to see the number of "dandelion heads" it has,a dandelion head is when it throws off a spark,but it splits into multiple pieces and looks like a head of one of those dried dandelions,the more of them,the steel has a higher carbon content

    Hi
    Enjoy your videos, would like to see you make full tang rebar knife with some wooden scales or hidden tang.

  • @rasnac
    @rasnac 6 років тому

    Nick, I really think you should make a Macuahuitl; it involves flintknapping and woodworking, which are both your interests.

  • @Dominic.Minischetti
    @Dominic.Minischetti 6 років тому

    Try with the char cloth on top. The sparks are flying up not down. Nice job!

    Have you done a video on how you impregnate your tinder and with what. Looks like you may have used salt Peter laced tinder the way it flashed off.

    Love your clips Nick........ that forge looks very makeable....I don't have a forge.....I need a forge...would you please explain how to make one..or is it bought. Question: does hardened steel make a different sound, if equal in all other ways.

    • @BackyardBowyer
      @BackyardBowyer  6 років тому +1

      +Green Elf Thank you for watching! I've been meaning to do a forge build for a while, but I've been having a hard time finding a piece of 8 or 10 inch steel pipe to make one.
      I might just go ahead and do a forge overview showing all the parts. You'd need a welder to make one like mine, but I'm planning on making one that doesn't require a welder as well.
      Once I can find some pipe that isn't galvanized, I'll get started!

      +Copperman What kind of hidden tang knife did you have in mind? I've been meaning to do a Finnish puukko or Japanese kaiken for a while. Thanks for watching!

    • @ivysinistra
      @ivysinistra 6 років тому

      Maybe a puukko, but I haven't tried hidden tangs yet. I was wondering if we had information on it?

    where do you get the flint from?

    • @BackyardBowyer
      @BackyardBowyer  6 років тому +1

      +Luke Finlayson The flint I'm using was gifted to me at a local knapp-in last year. It's Texas flint, not sure where it's from, so it might be chert. My file strikers, which usually produce lots of sparks with English fire flints, don't do so well with it. I'm still trying to find a good supply of flint for fire fire starting.
      Thanks for watching!

    Dear Mr. Bowyer: Most of your rebar projects are too heavy.
