Making a Simple Spoon Carving Knife That Anyone Can Make

This is a simple project that anyone with a dremel can make.

I wanted to carve a traditional wooden spoon but I had trouble carving it with a chisel. So I decided to make myself a hook knife.

But, since I don't have a forge or a proper way to heat treat steel, I cheated a little by making it from an old wrench. This way the steel is already in the right shape for a spoon knife and properly hardened.

The whole project is basically sharpening the ring of the spanner, and this can be done using a rotary tool, like a dremel. As handle I've used an old file handle I've picked a while back at the flea market.

"Anyone can make it!" yeah, sure. Of course I have all these tools somewhere in my pocket.

I failed a few times and now my dad is asking where all his wrenches are....

Ah perfect. Now i can finally carve my eye out without a problem

"That's not a knife. THIS is a knife!"
"That's not a knife, that's a spoon."
"Ah, I see you've played Knifey-Spoony before!"

“Hey honey why is there a hole in the cutting board”

I still have a set of five, different sizes, that I made in 1992 !
Have been very useful throughout the years for many things. They actually hold an edge longer than I thought they would !
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍

The anxiety I'd get from an incomplete wrench set.

[aaronhunt]

That is pure genius, sir. So obvious too. Well done for making the mental leap and actually doing it!

[jayssongreenfield]

That's actually a great idea, I can spare an old wrench for a great tool like that, I recently made a spoon and that would have made it much easier 👍

Once when my mother didn't had money, I made spoons from wood and bowls so we can eat from them. Had always struggle to made them because I was just a child, my first attempts were always a disaster but after I put some time in it. I good really in it. Nice to see how easy it is actually is. I'll leave a like there hope you have a good day sir.

Has anyone noticed that he cut his fingers twice while making this

Him: Uses heavy machinery objects to cut/fix things

5 Minute Crafts: Just put toothpaste on it.. 🤷

I have caved a lot of spoons. I don't understand why people bother to watch if they are not interested. I own a lot of commercial spoon knives and I thought this video was very informative. Keep up the good work. I am sure at some point I will make a few of these. Thanks again.

[garethkavanagh]

I have absolutely no idea why I watched this

[ladyrachel]

I love videos like these. I couldn't do that but I enjoy seeing other people make things.

"Simple" and "Anyone" can make.








ITS SUPER HARD DUDE!

[strudelpot]

This is amazing. Funny enough, I actually have all the tools/equipment needed for this and I've just gotten into whittling so I wanted a spoon knife... Perfect video! Thanks!

[thesaltycracker]

Very clever idea! I love seeing ordinary tools rehabbed for other purposes. Keep up the good work.

Can't believe how many negative comments there are!
I liked the video, the guy has taken time out of his life to try to teach people a thing or two and all you can do is slag him off 😔
Thanks for the video and I might have a go at making one myself! Watch out for that video 🤣
