Flat Grinding Video: Making a Chef's Knife
My second video has recently finished a little field testing and I have been convinced to go ahead and offer it to you now even though it is really intended to be the second volume in a two volume set. The first volume will have more of the most basic stuff on it but it won't be ready for another year and this one will stand by itself. Although I call it the Shop Built Chef's Knife the basic steps apply to any type of knife and even a raw beginner should be able to get some useful information out of it.
The video runs about four hours. I build a chef's knife from start to finish using all the tools in my shop while you basically stand next to me and watch. I tried to leave nothing out, the only time I cut anything was when I would be doing the same thing for many minutes I trimmed out some minutes. This is a full function DVD complete with an extensive menu system that allows you to return to any step you want to look at at any time. The DVD will play on a computer or on your TV with an attached DVD player. These are the steps that are covered: Drawing the profile on a piece of steel Cutting out the profile on a bandsaw and refining the profile on the grinder Flat grinding the blade (lots of detail) with attention to the proper way to start the grind Detail on how to avoid plunge cuts Refining the blade finish with finer belts Final finishing by hand How to protect the blade finish as you work on the guard and handle Milling the guard slot Fitting the guard Attaching the guard with JB Weld How to mark the handle block for drilling the tang slot Drilling the holes for the tang in the handle block Creating the slot in the handle for the tang Finding the position for the handle pin (this is a stub tang handle) Drilling the handle pin hole in the handle and in the tang The proper way to fit the pin so that the handle is held securely Rough cutting the handle to basic shape How to mix AcraGlas (tricks and techniques) Gluing the handle (and spacers) Shaping the handle on the grinder (a Coke bottle shape with a bird's head) Refining the handle shape (lots of detail here) Finishing the handle Marking the logo on the blade Sharpening Even if you don't have a shop full of equipment (yet) you should be able to get a lot of useful info out of this. If you would like a copy just Paypal $15 to knives@rayrogers.com (I ship on Tuesday and Friday). If you don't have a Paypal account email me at the same address and we'll work something out...
