I made this for our apocalypse challenge on YouTube! It honestly came out much more dangerous than I expected! 😅 In the coming days I'll be posting the whole video here on @X , but in the meantime check below for the YouTube link to the full build! #apocalypse #zombie

@LeadingReport How about we go 30min and call it good? I’d rather standard, but would be willing to compromise 🤣

President Trump indicates he will sign bill making daylight saving time permanent.

@JanandBill4 lol!

@RedBeardOps You can’t use too many clamps

Is this too many clamps? #knifemaker #knifemakerslift #bladesmithing #bladesmithinglife #workshop #clamps

That metal to metal batoning!!! Horrors

This was my first little rounding knife for leather work I made in 2020. Pretty good for small cuts! #knifemaking #knifemaker #knifemakinglife #customknife #roundingknife #leatherknife #leathercraftingtools #leathercrafting

@WalkerAmerica I did this at the end of 2025 solo… never again 🤣

UPDATE: it only took me 16 seconds to sort 206 pieces.

First time (and maybe the last time) I made a Habaki... What an expereince! Copper isn't my favorite material to work with, that's for sure. #samaurisword #samauri #knifemaking #swordmaking #knifemaker

@homegymcoop The fold up is huge…

New wall-mounted all in one posterior chain developer from Bulletproof Fitness. It’s called the PCD Lite.

Back in the day I had to throw icepacks on my DSLR to keep it alive! Just wasn't cut out for the workshop! LOL It would get pretty hot in there with the tempering oven running! #knifemaking #blacksmithing #youtuber #DSLR #overheating #videography

@NagelHausForge Nice! That sounds like a fun project

@RedBeardOps If ya ever want to do a cheap cryo treatment, grab some dry ice and a cheap styrofoam cooler from the grocery store and pop the blade in there (clamped to some angle iron to keep it straight) and leave it overnight! Works like a charm!

@BrianFa34222967 I hate calf slicers... I guess it could be a new thing for the casual non BJJ person, tv watcher

@RedBeardOps They talk about this submission like it's a new thing .

“I saw it on Instagram” may be the last thing you want to hear when about to roll with a training partner 🤣

Here is the full build in under 3min! Drink some coffee and get your eyes ready for speed! If only I could make them this fast in real life... #knifemaking #knifemaker #knifemakinglife #knifemakingtips #knifemakingbuild #fulltangknife #customknife #handmadeknife #madeintheusa

@NagelHausForge Oh yeah you can! 🙌

@RedBeardOps I just realized after watching this that with my Mini-mill I can now do much need maintenance on my various hydraulic press dies!
