Knife Making Problems...SOLVED! - Knife Makers Friday Five #73

It’s cool bro.

In my experience, solving problems and fixing mistakes is at least half of the process of knife making. I love a good challenge. Thank you for sharing!

Ma... Meatloaf!

I've been a fan for years, thank you for all the info and education you are posting! You are a legend Sir!

Don't take "constructive criticism" from people who don't construct anything. :) Love your videos!

We all like to better ,if we didn't we'd be just another person. As an artist I give my best for every piece I do, pride thing there. Always going to be negative people out there,ignore them.

Knife maker Bud Nealy got his start as a Broadway orchestra musician

Knowing how to do something is one thing, but having the tools to do it is something else.

Walt learn alot not good with internet shit have a question contec please

Some days you say stuff that just makes me laugh. This was one of them,,thanks.

Awesome! Looking forward to it.
You gave me a new idea from this video. What if my knives came in a box? I could make tons of nice little wooden boxes for free because a local doll house factory changed their place of business and gave away free pallet loads of different thickness plywood and mdf. Also a bunch of tiny brass hinges.👍

I had never noticed it before, but now that you mention it - you are quite the whiner! :-) Some see a whiner, others see a problem solver! As always, thanks for sharing, for solving problems and taking me along on your journey.

Your the man, there’s always an idiot out there somewhere sitting on there azz!! Talking about stuff they no absolutely nothing about!!! Your videos are super helpful!!!

Love what you do. No wine wine wine.

It doesn’t matter whether you say you can or you can’t do something - either way you are right!

We all should try working as a builder. I swear half of house building is about problem solving. Thanks for the video Walter.

You make a good point.

Whine, whine, blah, blah. Haha! Some people just don't want to be happy. Poor slobs.

I was an electronics technician followed by a computer systems administrator, followed by a cyber security engineer. Talk about fixing problems! Now I'm retired, making knives..."Each knife has a lesson." Is how I see this. Hopefully I'm learning the lessons.

I've been watching and supporting for years and I haven't heard you bitchin about anything that I can think of. As far as detractors or nay sayers go , well I'll show restraint and keep it family friendly. But they can always watch something else 🙄

As they say in the Navy - "A b!tch!n' sailor is a happy sailor". Now get back to work!

Oddly enough this is probably one of my favourite videos you’ve posted.
As always thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. Problem solving is why I love what I do professionally as a construction contract administrator and out in the shop as a hobby bladesmith. Identifying the problem (or whining) is the first step in the solution, but some people prefer to be oblivious to it and think everything is blue skies and roses.
Anyways, love the videos. Really looking forward to the series, and really hope one day to get some time off to make the trip south and run into you at a show, but you a beer, or maybe even be able to take a course or something from you in GA.

Wondering if you can show me how to make a Kydex sheath?

Im taking a break from making a poor attempt at making a sheath mold for a knife Ive made, similar to the one you made with the vacuum fixture in order to watch this video. Because Im about ready to ball peen this monitor and computer.

"there we go, whine whine whine im getting happier by the minute" is the best perspective on life ever, cant have any boring points in your life if you love problems

Is there anywhere that’s not just a killer on shipping cost for steel and other materials?

Moms basement playing call of duty eating hot pockets! 😂 You insulted whole generations! I love it!

Yep, problem solving is intrinsic to many things. I occasionally play the 'What skill is most important in building stuff?' in my head game. And my answer is 'You have to enjoy solving problems". Every project is a series of problems to be solved.

I'd have to agree with you, Walter. Anyone can make a knife, but to be a knife-maker, you have to solve problems!

Walter, Just a "Thank You" for being honest and real!

I’ve been an auto technician for 20yrs and am an aspiring knife maker. My life is problem solving and I love that part of your videos. No labor of love comes without adversity
