Bevel Grinding: Knife Making Build-Along #3

Показать описание

Today in the shop we are continuing our multi-part series knife making build along, with the process of grinding bevels using a 2x42 belt grinder. As I mentioned, we try to steer clear of multi part series videos because we are constantly annoyed by trying to find different parts of a series when all you want is to be able to watch a video from beginning to end. We are going to make an exception to this rule over the next several weeks to bring you this knife making build along series. We will be following along with the knife talk podcast build along and thought it would be fun and more beneficial for you to create a video to go along with each weeks focus on the next step of this knife making journey.

Here is a link to my Knife Print design, that you can print out. Make sure that you are printing it at the size that works for you, since this is just an image. My overall length is a hair over 9 inches.

If you are interested in checking this out on the Knifeprint website, you can follow this link, and I encourage you to make your own edits that fit your knife design needs.

We really want to encourage you to build a knife along with us and work on building this community of makers, artists, and craftsman who can share in the knowledge and skills that we all have. We would love to see what you are creating so please tag us on Instagram #theartofcraftsmanshipba and #knifetalkba .

Here is a link to House Work's YouTube channel. He and his sons are using our knife template and following along with us while they complete their Knife Talk build along series as well.

If you are interested, please follow us on Instagram @theartofcraftsmanship to see what’s happening in the shop on a daily basis, and catch sneak peeks of our up coming videos.

I’ll be coming back to these to build-along later in the year.

You are an excellent teacher.

Interesting technique, simple angle iron and 2 vice grips, just angle the platform, result - perfect bevels👍

Watching you work is borderline therapeutic lol

Superb work. Real helpful when you show/say the grit your using for each step.

This blank looks to be a really useful profile. Even though knife making is not a social process for me, Thanks for motivating me to get into the shop on these cold winter days. Now I gotta go back and see where you heat treated your blade.

coming along nicely. There's always been some debate about the proper bevel angle. When I was a kid, making my own arrows just for the fun of it, I soon realized that rather blunt arrows held what point they had longer (they were just cut with a pocket knife, no fancy stuff, usually made from cattail reeds or whatever straight sticks we could find) I'm not sure if that angle is shallow or steep, but probably a total of 45 degrees or so, but rounded. We'd cut some to a thin, fine point, while they would pierce faster and easier on the first shot or two, they soon were too dinged up to do much even on our cardboard box targets. So, from that I gathered that if you want an edge that lasts, you make it well... for lack of a better term, blunter. For really sharp, you make it a thinner cut, but it doesn't last long, I guess it depends on what you commonly use the knife for, the bevel you have seems like a decent compromise choice.

Hiya I have never made a knife but by watching these vids it has made me love knifes and making them and made me decide to become one : )

Hey dude, your channel has the best vibe so chilled and easy to understand yet professional, while I find many even in different genres are hard to consistantly follow along with your videos just cruise through and make me want to see the next immediately, thanks for the great content!
