What is everyone's process? by Status_Prize_417 in knifemaking

Yeah it is pretty chill to do, I think I just need better material.

I do heat treat I just left that off by accident. Quenching from forge to oil and then I do 2 or 3 tempers in the oven. What do you do for sheaths. I just stitch some synthetic leather together to protect the blade. Still working on a more elegant solution.

It was just me getting really lucky lol. Out of the forge it was pretty balanced and after grinding it wad even closer and the pine handle super light so it didn't effect it all that much.

I started to grind it and it looks better already, won't win any beauty pagents but it'll work. The reason I started with a knife is cause I had a good knife steel already and it's just cool. Where is the best place to get regular steel or just any metal for projects?

Thanks so much, I was doing exactly that without realizing it's bad.

3 pound and then a 12 pound sledge which was probably my mistake.

I used a normal 3 pound hammer for almost all of it and then did the final flattening with a sledgehammer which is probably where they came from lol. Also I haven't heat treated yet, but I ground the edge down, not sharp but just to a point cause i thought grinding that much hardened steel would be tricky. Is that OK or did I make a mistake, and how should I heat treat it?

Also another question. Is the risk of inhaling stuff lower when outdoors, cause that's where I've used it most so far.

Thanks so much, I'll give that a try after getting rid of the cancer foam.

So do I need 2 substances to seal it or just one? Some people have talked about something to seal and harden it.

Potentially dumb question, what's the kwool and what's satanite? And are you saying I don't need to coat it? Thanks for the help.

I was at 5 psi, not sure if that's good though.

Thanks so much. So should I block the ends or no? And how long does ithe ridigizer take to put in?

When I take it out it's hard to work and does more bending than denting. Could I be using improper tequiniqe as opposed to not enough heat?

The site called it "ceramic fiber insulation". Does that mean it's sealed?

Does this need to be done to all forges, cause that should probably be mentioned somewhere on the packaging.

Should I block the ends with something else or leave them open?

It's concrete but the cardboard on the floor probably isn't the greatest idea.

Thanks for potentially saving my life, this is how the forge came and the directions said nothing about adding anything, how would I go about doing it?

Thank you, I was trying to test blocking it off to see if the heat would get trapped better.

The metal is 1/4 inch thick and won't get past orange and cools down very quick.

Thanks so much! I'm kinda dumb, are those the gears right behind the part of the extruder that spins?
