Its not out yet. Can't put all the episodes out at once! When I get through all 11 episodes, I'll leave em up for a week, then take em all down and that'll be the DVD. Haven't set the new grinder up yet, will when this is done.

I saw one problem. Your shop is too CLEAN! Can't wait for the rest. Keep up the good work. Better watch those fingers next to that 36 grit belt or they will end up a little shorter. I cant wait to see that master handle work. We need a pic of you wearing that full mask respirator LORD VADER!!!

LOL......you two are too much! Good job Eli, but Austin is right. That shop is too clean! I know you're making a DVD, but it should at least look worked in! Seriously though, if you keep throwing sparks into your camera your gonna ruin your lens.

I'm not sure if it's really fair for you to hire professional actors to make your knife videos. I assume that's a professional actor because I was always under the impression that you were a Golem type character that shunned the light and obsessed over the One Ring. Not sure how I got that idea but it seemed to fit. Never be ashamed of who you are, Eli.
All kidding aside, not bad ...

Great video! As a safety professional I was very glad to see you going over safety. I would suggest that you tell everyone to read and follow the directions that come with any safety equipment that you buy. I would also recommend to all my fellow knife makers to go to their doctor and get a breathing test ( I had mine last week since I wear one at work) if you are going to be wearing any full face or half face respirator. Those things can be a bear to draw a breath through, and if you have any issues with your lungs there are cartridge respirators that are full face but are powered with a fan that draws the air through a respirator that is mounted at your hip. I would also suggest to anyone that uses a cartridge type respirator to change out the cartridges often. The more they get clogged up the harder they are to breathe through. One last thing, if you use a respirator of any type they do not work very well with any type of beard or even a two day growth of stubble on your face. A mustache is fine if it does not go past the corners of your mouth. OK enough preaching about safety! Again great video!

Good advice Mike. What do you recommend for someone with a beard?

Check out the resp-o-rator it is held in the mouth like a snorkel with two leads that go over your shoulders. The filters attach to the leads and point behind you. You use a nose plug like for swimming to keep from breathing through your nose and you can wear any eye protection you want
