Here's a tip for you. When forging a blade strike both sides equally. That keeps the blade from warping. One otherb tip. keep your anvil clear of scale. Scale causes an uneven surface on your blade.

You should clean every last bit of crap off each piece of birch bark. No loose stuff, no black stuff. If you compress the pieces on the handle and stick it in the oven at a really low temperature, the individual pieces should glue themselves with the resins inside the bark. Try it. You can glue them, but why would you?

Cool video but you need to work on your hammer technique and form. Forging bent over like that and without power in your strikes must take a long time and be bad for your back. There are some good videos on KZitem covering hammer technique but in broad strokes try to stand straight and swing the hammer with the muscles in your back. Prevents fatigue, helps the hammer fall straighter and with more power because you can drop it from a greater height.

Venturing into new areas of study outside your comfort zone to increase your skills, heartfelt forethought in materials used during the build, passion for making quality crafts, familial bonds, and a mischievous whimsy displayed by your shop elf's cameo ( at 29: 32).

My very first knife was forged at the Blacksmith Shop in 1956 in my hometown in the rural Catskills. I was 7 years old and the local blacksmith was only open on Saturdays. I hung out there because it was really cool watching and learning. He taught me a lot of blacksmithing skills. He even forged some smaller hammers that I could handle.

Here in Newfoundland, my mother is superstitious. She believes that you shouldn't give a knife as a gift. It's incredibly bad luck as knifes cut things, including the ties that bind relationships and family according to her. I think its the same in places like Scandinavia (Norway, Iceland, Finland, Sweden) where they also consider it bad luck. They create scenarios where the knife can be "stolen" by the intended recipient and is therefore no longer a gift. In other cultures a coin (of any value) is exchanged for the knife, symbolically buying the knife instead.

I have been enjoying your videos. I believe it is because you are doing things that I have done throughout my life. I didn't video any of it and wish I had been able to but There was no KZitem at that time of my life. I am now disabled and even if I had a good day and was able to manage to attempt to do things I would be worried that someone might see my attempt and try to use it against me. I am really sad that I can no longer function as I use to. If I do anything It is usually only for a few minutes because I don't have the strength or energy. I had so much I wanted to do and planned to make time in my old age. I burnt the candle at both ends working for years and was too tired to do all the things I thought I could do later. Your videos help me to feel like I am learning different techniques from the ones I have used in the past. I believe that is why I enjoy watching. In my lifetime I was several different things. I was an independent lumper, I worked in a chrome plating shop,I have been a yard foreman and a warehouse foreman, I was a stock person, I was a knife salesman in a knife store for three years, Then a maintenance man for twenty-one years or so. Then when that job ended I worked in a tire shop for many years and worked on farm and lawn equipment for a while and then I was sort of a hired hand. All these jobs aided me in learning different skills and I always thought I would have more time. So keep doing what you are doing as long as you can so that you have no regrets later. Video everything. And share what relates you to others. I am sure your channel will grow. I know I just subscribed and have been watching your videos for the last few days. I loved watching your technique for making that osage orange bow and the video on making the bowstring. I made a beautiful bow for my grandson once out of Cedar (don't ever use Cedar) It broke not long after being built. I braided my string it was strong but I knew there must have been a better way. Thanks for sharing your videos. They are the reason I shared my story with you. I have been living vicariously through KZitem videos for the last few years. They have been therapeutic. One last suggestion (Old Mower Blades). Reuse, recycle.

Forging a puukko really involves much more movement of the metal along the blade side, with 90% of the bevel done by forging, NOT grinding...this process develops the steel of the blade, so that the blade and back have very different grain structure. There is very little thinning of the blade thickness ... or, so we were taught in our puukko classes in Finland. The steel blank starts out with the 'tip' cut at the opposite angle to the finished shape: ____________________ \ _______________________\
