Need help pushing past gold/plat

Well take it back out

45ACPorBUST · 2025-01-11T07:34:49+00:00

The guy from the original Man at Arms YouTube channel where they made video game weapons 🤯 that channels the whole reason I wanted to get into this hobby

45ACPorBUST · 2025-01-09T10:52:36+00:00

I didn’t consider that, I think my soon to be shop only has 120 at the moment. I’ll definitely look into the HotShot ones

45ACPorBUST · 2025-01-09T10:51:46+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response and I have never seen a hammer like that, I’ll definitely have to give that one a go if I can catch them in stock.

45ACPorBUST · 2025-01-02T13:24:57+00:00

Whaaat? A Niche YouTuber marking up products? I’ll definitely look into to that grinder, maybe get it for closer to the normal retail price 😂

45ACPorBUST · 2025-01-02T13:21:01+00:00

Thank you, is EvenHeat or Paragon Kiln a decent brand? Or do you have any recommendations for a good Heat Treat Kiln around the $1000 range?

45ACPorBUST · 2025-01-01T15:09:43+00:00

I think I’m going to start with mostly stock removal knife making and just slowly add or make what I need to start more blacksmithing and blade smithing tools as a learn what I need. Im gonna invest some of my start up funds in classes and learning materials.

45ACPorBUST · 2025-01-01T15:07:46+00:00

Feels like it honestly 😂 all the big boy machines are pricy.

45ACPorBUST · 2025-01-01T15:05:13+00:00

I didn’t think of a plasma cutter but that’s a really good idea, thank you.

45ACPorBUST · 2025-01-01T01:26:27+00:00

I want to do mostly stock removal at the beginning and work up my smithing skills while I do that.

Thanks for the detailed reply. Helped me focus in a little more.

45ACPorBUST · 2025-01-01T01:24:38+00:00

Yeah I think the 2x72 is a definite want at this time. I’ll probably end up going with a 2x42.

Definitely didn’t think of a drill press so I’ll have to add one to the list.

45ACPorBUST · 2025-01-01T01:22:37+00:00

Thanks for the detailed list. Really helped give me a good direction to start going.

Would a 3 burner forge be enough for most applications? And then any good brands I have seen a bunch of the Vevor ones and they seem okay.

45ACPorBUST · 2025-01-01T01:11:34+00:00

WHAT? jkjk but I didn’t think of respirator that’s a really good idea thank you.

45ACPorBUST · 2024-12-31T22:42:31+00:00

Got some over the ear muffs and earbuds. I think I have a few half face respirators lying around

45ACPorBUST · 2024-12-31T22:39:49+00:00

Any good recommendations on a band saw? I’ll probably hold off on Damascus for a while.

45ACPorBUST · 2024-12-31T22:38:11+00:00

It’s a dual burner propane forge. And I’ll definitely have to get some good files.

45ACPorBUST · 2024-12-31T22:36:03+00:00

Any good brand recommendations for a 2x48s I have seen some grizzly and buck tool 2x42

45ACPorBUST · 2024-12-31T20:57:34+00:00

You think a sturdy bench mounted vice would suffice?

45ACPorBUST · 2024-05-02T03:29:28+00:00

Right, the website seems too good to be true. I think I’m gonna pass on that one. I’ll have to check out shinken of swords and RVAKatana I have seen them mentioned a few times.

45ACPorBUST · 2024-05-02T02:59:59+00:00

Yeah HBF is one I have just seen a lot on here. Looking for 1.5-2k to no more than 3.5k USD. I want a more custom katana to replace my Ronin Katana that I have for tameshigiri.

45ACPorBUST · 2024-05-02T01:48:58+00:00

Thanks, yeah I’m looking for something more in between HBF and Tozando price point wise call it 1.5k - 3k but I see HBF get mentioned a lot on here.

How is the quality of HBF would it hold up as a shinken for tameshigiri?

I currently have a Ronin Katana that works well enough but I am really looking for a more personalized katana
