@brutolf thanks for the info,ironbrush is amazing.

@crazyroosterfist I've had so much else to do so I haven't been doing much of this lately but currently the carving and making of the fittings is what I'm practicing on for now. I guess you know about "swordforum. com" and you could check out "followingtheironbrush. org" for japanese style metalwork. "Following the iron brush" has a channel on youtube called "ironbrush" with some very interesting videos.

@brutolf thank you for the advice. this is an older video and i keep it up so my growth can be seen. i learned to make the habaki before polish because you have to heat and hammer the copper or silver around the nakago,and you may have to start your polish all over again if you strike the blade. i looked to as many sources that i could find and this was the way.actually,your video for the tanto you made was the inspiration for me to build a forge and make blades.newer stuff on my channel.

The habaki is made when the blade is polished and done because it has to be a pretty snug fit. I use to add a little borax to the clay cause that melts and gets sticky when heated in the fire hand prevents it from falling off.

Smoking greenery and making art through blademaking, you're living the life bro!
For a guy with long-ass videos, you are far from boring. I don't know anything about steel but I could watch this stuff all day! Seriously keep posting!

nice pipe. thats cool man. you should start making some detailed vids about how your doign what your doing. I'm really interested in custom mounting some katanas, but theres so many specifics that are hard to explain over videos. Your talented bro. maybe when i visit my massive family in ohio we can get together and cut some shit!
