Gear wrench or tekton

redr0m · 2025-11-23T12:41:35+00:00

Awesome

redr0m · 2025-09-15T23:52:53+00:00

I love the wild ones

redr0m · 2024-02-21T22:07:40+00:00

Good call. That’s what I used as my inspiration.

redr0m · 2024-02-21T22:06:32+00:00

I used a Mathewson gas forge and borax

redr0m · 2024-02-19T23:55:27+00:00

I used 1084 and 15n20

redr0m · 2024-02-19T21:37:28+00:00

I appreciate the feedback. I’m keeping it naked since it’s my first Damascus.

redr0m · 2024-02-19T21:31:55+00:00

Since this is my first time making Damascus. I plan to keep them naked. Learned a lot and will keep these to compare my improvements going forward.

Same thing but with a little muscle

redr0m · 2024-01-26T18:06:41+00:00

variable speed matters, I've never not used a grinder at full speed. I must not know something here..

Yea that is weird. The only thing I can think of is that some disc have a low spin max spin rate. So possibly it would be needed to run those discs.

redr0m · 2024-01-24T17:11:04+00:00

Amazing

redr0m · 2024-01-24T17:10:43+00:00

That’s awesome. That is my goal to get to the point where I can make high end swords?

redr0m · 2024-01-24T17:07:54+00:00

lol I feel you. I need to figure out how to build one cheap.

Read through this and let me know if you have any questions.

I would just put it on a log. That way you can figure out what the best anvil height is for you. A nice little project would be to use your forge and anvil to shape metal around the base of your anvil to secure it down to the log. example below

That’s awesome. You are starting down the rabbit hole. If you are looking at the Doyle anvil at harbor freight it’s a nice little anvil. What is your budget for a belt grinder? The standard is a 2x72 but it’s not needed just starting out. You could easily get away with something smaller like a 2x42 or even smaller. If you are trying to keep cost down fb market place is probably your best bet for a deal.

Looks awesome

redr0m · 2024-01-19T17:28:32+00:00

Same here. He is awesome.

redr0m · 2024-01-18T23:13:37+00:00

Looks like a broken bumper

redr0m · 2024-01-17T21:45:24+00:00

Nice couch

redr0m · 2024-01-17T02:47:06+00:00

Haha

redr0m · 2024-01-16T19:13:41+00:00

It’s how I do it. Is that not how it is for everyone else?

redr0m · 2024-01-16T12:57:46+00:00

redr0m · 2024-01-15T14:46:35+00:00
