Hello!! Today we will make a knife from a scythe. The braid is made of good carbon steel. The knife from the braid holds the sharpening very well. And so we need a standard set of tools and of course the braid itself
So, draw on our spit with chalk the outlines of the future knife, draw on the tip of the tip as there is the strongest place.
We carefully cut the grinder along the drawn profile. It is necessary to cut carefully, without heating the workpiece, otherwise it will become soft
Then, on my round emery disk, I will polish the edges. I remove all the sharpness at the edges, grinding the plane of the blade with a rough abrasive
After that, we grind the 1000th sandpaper into the rough. The material is very difficult to handle
The next stage with the same paper we sharpen the blade. I have a Chinese sharpener for sharpening knives, it corrects very well. After it, I carefully grind it with sandpaper, otherwise it leaves burrs. The knife turned out as sharp as a razor
Next, I finally grind the knife on my, like, emery
Finally, it's time to make the handle, I thought about the material for a long time and plywood caught my eye, like this
The first thing I cut was two identical pieces of plywood
He tried on, began to drill, but the metal did not drill than he had not tried, it was necessary to carefully make holes by welding. Secured at first temporarily with screws
Looked, turned, even I did not like the future drawing of the handle
Next, I decided to go the other way. I decided to make a pen set of the same plywood. And so I disassembled everything and cut the handle, then I made a hairpin from 8mm wire, and in the second edge, along 1cm, I sawed
We insert our blade into the cut and flatten the edge to fix the blade. And at low currents we weld very carefully, since the metal is thin and we can ruin everything
Allow half an hour to cool. Next, I cut the plywood squares and drilled an 8mm hole in the center and tried on
Well, everything is adjusted, I begin to plant plywood, with each layer of plywood I coat with glue PVA so that the handle does not turn over time
After all, put the washer and twist the trailer. I have in his role a regular nut for thirteen. After I, with a small hacksaw, cut down all the excess on the sides
Everything, now we grind, betraying the shape we need. It’s better to wet the plywood, since the abrasive heats the plywood and it turns black, burned, like mine
Learn from mistakes, well, this is how the pen looks at this stage
Next, I made a nozzle on the drill and polished for a long time removing the burned wood
Here, somehow, in some places I had to grind my hands with sandpaper. Upon arrival, I rubbed the pen with natural wax and a felt piece rubbed the pen to shine. Next, after the degreaser, applied the nail polish to the blade of the knife and, after drying, applied the drawing with a needle. Then he diluted one to ten iron chloride for the weed of the boards and metal, and added the remaining solution after the weed of the printed circuit board, immersed in the solution for a day. From time to time, about once an hour, I wiped the metal with a cotton pad for better etching the pattern
Well, that's all friends, thanks for your time. Until new homemade!!!!!!
