I sold my last video knife for a comforting offer.
I used a great deal of the money to purchase new files, and forging tools.
I also used the most of the money to buy groceries. So thanks to God, and thanks to those who helped me, or purchased my hard worked knifes for such blessing.

For now "THE START" of a new knife I am going to be working on.
Here is me making the charcoal I am going to need
for this new project.

Check back each day as I will upload more videos
of the progress.

***UPDATED THE POST***
CHECK UP TOP FOR NEW VIDEO's ADDED


Also... all the videos above. I am making a one complete video which gets
burned onto a DVD so that it can be played on a DVD player which goes
with this knife to whoever buys it. I think someone will enjoy watching
their knife born from nothing but a chunk of metal.
 
A few questions. 1- How is the blower working for you? I have one going on my forge that is in progress. My forge is going to be propane fueled.
2- When you get that DVD done are you going to have extra copies for sell? What I seen looks real good. I dislike youtube. Too slow, too many stops.

Friend. I would be honored to just give you one, but if you want to pay me for it that just makes me want to do it even more on my next knife. Private message me or just email me CodyOebel@gmail.com with your address. Once I finish the knife and burn the DVD I will send you a copy.

Heres what I do with the blower. I dont keep it connected to my wind pipe I just point it so that the air is slightly catching the edge of the wind pipe to not really distort the fire much. Then this way I put my hand on the edge of the wind pipe to catch the airflow, and direct it into the wind pipe. This way if I want a little flame, or allot is all proportional to the amount of wind I allow in by hand. I wished to replace this blower with a hand cranked one, but each time I find one their 300$ LOL. Just a note! Maybe I should video this. When building your forge, and if you use a big pipe like I have the last tweer near the end of the pipe should be just a FEW inches away from the end. Otherwise you get un-even heating, and exploding air which causes your forge to un-evenely heat as well. The exploding air is the air captured between the end of the pipe, and the last tweer. It heats up and stays in there, and when new cold air enters you hear an air discharge. It's very noticable when you turn off your air source you well get a poof. ** I will video this in the mere future. ***
Here is how I built this forge, and this is a previous knife I made. I had to make adjustments due to exploding air issue as I stated above, but this will give you an idea.[video=youtube;kPbnRzkjMF8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPbnRzkjMF8[/video]

I am going to limit however how many people I give this DVD copy to freely. So first FEW requests gets one. Then im charging :) lol. Right NOW .. the DVD will be 1 hour 22minutes. I'm unfortunately going to have to shorten the tempering and quenching videos. If my video gets to long and I compress it to fit on a DVD it will lose quality which I dont want. It's going to be very close to a two hour knife making video. I am going to do an abuse test even after installing the handle because the handle I am using is from my 20+yr old Okercoke indian staff that fell apart throughout the years so I am going to use it :). Im going to take videos of this staff since it plays a part in this knife. Since it is aged.. and I dont want this knife to just be artwork I need to make sure this old wood holds up :) So means two 2x4 abuse test videos :). I will be doing a mild steel bar cut to test the edge as all.

I know how to build websites and so forth. I'm a computer geek one might google me and say. However this is why I dont like using machines. I built integrated circuits, and programmed processor chips on proto boards, and knife making is my escape from all that! It's why I dont want to use power tools.
I'm like John Conner from the Terminator; Against the machines!

If me making knives keeps food on my table as it has been.I might just build myself a knife maker website. Go to an ABS meeting.. let them abuse one of my knifes if I fail I will do it again until mastery. However I have a knife I vice'd myself :) more than 90 degree's, and bent it back! I got pictures of it. It's shaped like a horse shoe cleaner right now. It was intended for someone in my family, but I jacked up the handle, and didnt want to give it to them it has a pinned over tang to the buttcap just to show I went all out on it. I currently use it to unlock my vice grip jaws on this big bowie LOL.


I sure hope I sell this knife for a modest price, but however I will leave it to God for the highest offer I get. Having 5 kids like I do. You some times have to leave the stress and follow faith!

Once I post this knife up on Craigs List for buyers to call me each call gives me goose bumps; Like the last skinner I just sold. Something about knowing someone wants my knife makes it all worth it, blasts a rush of joy into my mind. It makes me want to make another one each time, and I video it all to share this time spent with you folks to enjoy because I know you folks love knives LOL.

I need opinions please. On the master DVD I am making of this knifes creation of start to finish. Should I add music in?
The below video is an example of one I added music. The below video I burned on a DVD to be played on a DVD player. It went with the bowie to my brother in law. This way there is always proof of the knifes genuine craftsmenship. I will do this to every knife I make!

Cody..the videos are GREAT..I respect the way u make ur knives...and the music u chose is AWESOME! can't beat bluegrass..go with it...
 
UPDATES*** ADDED ABUSE VIDEO ****


I ADDED MY ABUSE VIDEO.
I will be adding the hardening and tempering which go before the abuse video, but I know you all wanted the good stuff first :)
 
**NOTE*** About abuse video above.

uploading a replacement Abuse Vide. For some reason half of the video got chopped off by youtube. So I am re-uploadig the 6 minute full length abuse video. Check back in a few hours. I cut a mild steel bar on the blade using a hammer, and then do a hair shave, and paper shave, and then I video me chopping a 2x4 in half 3 times, and shaving hair and the knife accidently sliced into back of my leg during the shave, and I bled LOL.
So check back later I am uploading that video. This ones is the first part.. like I said it's not the full thing. So check back later.
 
U are just doing a fantastic job..both on the knife and the videos (can't wait to see the abuse video, clicked on it and it said it had been removed)..I like ur "old school" way of making knives..GREAT!!!
