Introduction to Triple T Podcast with Jared and Dennis

00:00:16
echo_blades
oh Let's get ready to talk about nothing. What's up, everybody? This is Jared from Echo Blades, and you're listening to the Triple T podcast for knife makers. As always, I have Mr. Tools Tips and talk himself Dennis Terrell from Terrell Knife Works. How the hell are you, buddy?
00:00:36
tyrellknifeworks
I'm good, I'm good and i'm I am actually honestly pleased that you pronounce my name correctly.
00:00:42
echo_blades
What? I don't mean to.
00:00:45
tyrellknifeworks
No, you are. You pronounce it correctly. Tyrell, not because a lot of people say Tyrell.
00:00:47
echo_blades
what would
00:00:51
echo_blades
Oh yeah. You ain't no Tyrell, dude. What's the matter with you?
00:00:55
tyrellknifeworks
And an even even larger number of people think it's my first name, so.
00:01:00
echo_blades
I have come across some comments when they go, Hey Tyrell.
00:01:04
tyrellknifeworks
like constantly, but hey, that's to be expected.
00:01:08
echo_blades
That's right.
00:01:09
tyrellknifeworks
How you been?
00:01:10
echo_blades
How are you? I asked you first.
00:01:14
tyrellknifeworks
I'm, I'm actually a little tired

Dennis's Sierra Camping Adventure

00:01:15
tyrellknifeworks
tonight. I don't know why I got a good night's sleep, but I was hammering away in the shop all day today and yesterday. So it's, uh, yeah, but, uh, yeah, things are good.
00:01:22
echo_blades
Nice, nice.
00:01:27
tyrellknifeworks
We did our camping trip over the weekend in the Sierras.
00:01:29
echo_blades
I'm I'm excited to hear about this. ah I was thinking about it today.
00:01:37
tyrellknifeworks
ah the The summary of that trip is that I'm too old for tent camping. That is the summary.
00:01:45
echo_blades
I just want to remind you when you said you were going to do this, I said why?
00:01:51
tyrellknifeworks
ah Honestly, it was really fun. um The only stressful thing is ah my wife does not like four by fouring and it is a two mile four by four trip to get in there.
00:02:07
tyrellknifeworks
And, you know, the Jeep and four low, ah she did not appreciate that. And I kind of didn't tell her that it was. But that's why it's such a nice included spot.
00:02:18
echo_blades
and
00:02:20
tyrellknifeworks
And it's a beautiful, pretty little lake. And I don't know if you saw the pictures on on Facebook.
00:02:22
echo_blades
I
00:02:26
tyrellknifeworks
It was really pretty. But the trip in there, she did not like.
00:02:29
echo_blades
did not.
00:02:31
tyrellknifeworks
But it was really nice. The
00:02:36
tyrellknifeworks
It was very peaceful. Yeah. and There was actually, it was surprisingly cause we're right between California hunting seasons.
00:02:39
echo_blades
Did you run into anybody?
00:02:45
tyrellknifeworks
Like there's, there's two weeks or a week, two weeks. It's archery season, then it's a two week break and then gun season starts. Well, those two weeks, like this is very popular for hunters.
00:02:57
echo_blades
everybody's out Everybody's out scouting.
00:02:59
tyrellknifeworks
Usually no one is out here.
00:03:01
echo_blades
Oh.
00:03:01
tyrellknifeworks
And, um, I was very surprised that we saw a bunch of guys in like side by sides. And then there was another, they were bikers. They were like, like bicycle bikers, um, doing the loop around the lake, which is bizarre.
00:03:12
echo_blades
Oh.
00:03:14
tyrellknifeworks
Like you gotta be hardcore, but anyway, they were the only people we saw. The only, the downside was that the dog was freaked out. It was cold at night.
00:03:26
tyrellknifeworks
There was some animal noises that freaked the dog out. The dog wanted to be in the bed with us, which is not very big, like on the air mattress, whatever. So then, ah yeah, I'm freezing.
00:03:35
echo_blades
Right.
00:03:37
tyrellknifeworks
I'm not sleeping well. So basically sleeping zero. So then we didn't want to do another night with the dog. So we ended up coming home Saturday, um, dinner time, but we went Friday morning.
00:03:45
echo_blades
Hmm. Gotcha.
00:03:49
tyrellknifeworks
So we had two full days there. So it was cool.
00:03:52
echo_blades
Yeah, that's, that's good enough. At least for an intro for her, you know?
00:03:55
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, i if it if it wasn't for the dog, I would have definitely stayed Saturday night and yeah it was it was nice and fun and relaxing. the The only issue, to be honest, you know me, I'm not one to like just sit around and there's nothing to do there.
00:04:14
echo_blades
Sure and That's funny
00:04:17
tyrellknifeworks
Like, yeah, the lake's nice and, you know, But you can't do anything like there's no fish in that lake because it's like an alpine lake and So it's like oh tend the fire and use it. Okay. I'll make something to eat. Okay now what? so It got a little boy. We couldn't hike because the dog is um Molly, she's old and she can't walk very far.
00:04:40
tyrellknifeworks
So we did a couple little walks, but then she's tired. So yeah, so I was like, okay, now what?
00:04:47
echo_blades
I can see that you read a book or something.
00:04:47
tyrellknifeworks
So there's a lot of sitting around the campfire. Yeah, I'm not a book reader.
00:04:54
tyrellknifeworks
But yeah, it was fun. But I got back early and well, we got back Saturday night. So I spent the whole day in the shop on Sunday.
00:05:04
echo_blades
Nice.
00:05:04
tyrellknifeworks
So yeah, cause I got a jump on this week, which was good.
00:05:06
echo_blades
Nice.
00:05:10
tyrellknifeworks
What, uh, what did you do?
00:05:10
echo_blades
That is cool. I. What did I do?

Jared's Golf Tournament Experience

00:05:16
echo_blades
Saturday, I golfed.
00:05:18
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
00:05:19
echo_blades
That was, uh, I had a golf tournament and dude, man.
00:05:21
tyrellknifeworks
Were you Shanky McShankerson or what?
00:05:27
echo_blades
and So I golfed my ass off on the front night. We played Tilden, which is a course in the Berkeley Hills and the first First nine is it's fair. I guess it's really hilly, you know, so there's not very even terrain. You're always hitting on some kind of an angle, you know, um, but I golf really fucking good for me anyways. Um, my handicap of these tournaments is like a 30 31 30 or something like that. So I ended up shooting them a 30 on the front with, with my handicap. So I think that was like a 44 45.
00:06:08
echo_blades
Um, which is pretty good.
00:06:08
tyrellknifeworks
Okay. Half of this doesn't make sense to me, but I don't know about handicaps and what all that stuff means, but okay.
00:06:12
echo_blades
So they gave you, they give you 30 strokes. So in a tournament there, you know, depending how shitty you are, they try to even up the playing field by no doubt throughout the whole, I got 15 on the front, 15 strokes given to me on the front and then 15 on the back.
00:06:21
tyrellknifeworks
So you actually got 60 is what you're telling me.
00:06:33
echo_blades
So you break it up, right?
00:06:33
tyrellknifeworks
Oh, I see.
00:06:34
echo_blades
But yeah. So I shot a net 30, which is. Um, I don't remember the apart, the bar thing, but it was somewhere around there.
00:06:41
tyrellknifeworks
45
00:06:43
echo_blades
Yeah. About 45. So I was on pace to be around 90 or, you know, my best round ever is like a 87, 88. So I was playing pretty damn good.
00:06:54
echo_blades
I had like bogeys and a couple of pars, a couple of birdies. Um, And then they kind of like, they didn't mean to, but they kind of like got my, Oh, Jared, you're playing, you're doing great, man.
00:07:05
echo_blades
Just keep it up on the back. Oh, and then Jared showed up on the back nine.
00:07:12
echo_blades
Cause I was actually getting nervous that I was going to get started getting accused of being a sandbag.
00:07:14
tyrellknifeworks
See, as soon as it starts to count, that's when all the shit goes downhill. but
00:07:19
echo_blades
But dude, and then that course didn't help the back. The back nine was pretty tough. It's like sharp shooting and. And all of a sudden you just can't, you can't hit the ball anymore. And you're fucking just struggling and everybody was kind of doing, it was weird for whatever reason. There was all four of us. We were, when we were putting, I can, I've never had this happen. I bet you probably between the four of us, there was about.
00:07:47
echo_blades
no less than 12 to 15 putts that came up right to the edge and stopped. Like less than an inch to just drop in the hole and they would stop.
00:08:00
tyrellknifeworks
built a little lip around the hole.
00:08:01
echo_blades
I i think they did. Like there was something going on um because like there was a bunch of bad words and you know, so that didn't help. That's adding a stroke to to everybody's, you know, round and It even happened on the fuck. I was, I was ready to quit after like the 17th hole. Like it was bad. And then I would hit a shot and bring me back and I'd get excited again. But on the 18th hole, I, uh, I chipped in from like, I don't know, 20 yards out or something like that. And it did the fucking one inch to the hole. Like if it would have dropped, I probably would have, uh, took second in the, in the tournament and my group, but, um, it didn't. So.
00:08:44
echo_blades
But it was fun. It was, uh, for teeing off at 10 o'clock. That's a like, just shoot your day. Yeah. It's like a five, six hour round sometimes, you know, that's like, I don't do it unless it's a tournament.
00:08:52
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
00:08:56
echo_blades
I get out early, but, uh, it went, it went pretty fast. I think we were done by like three or something like that. So, but it was good. Beautiful day up in the, in Berkeley Hills.
00:09:08
echo_blades
It was cool. Um, just a lot of fun. I'm, I'm super. glad to be back golfing again, because that shit is fun.
00:09:19
tyrellknifeworks
We should go sometime, but don't count on keeping score if I'm there.
00:09:24
echo_blades
Yeah, no. That's the good thing about golf, you know, because you can play with at anybody and it's your own game, right? yeah It's not like rarely are you ever in competition with your buddies if you're just going out. I mean, there are people that, you know, take it serious, but That's not me.
00:09:42
echo_blades
You know, I get to about ah nine holes in and then I want to throw my clubs away and quit. So it's good thing I don't drink, man.
00:09:51
tyrellknifeworks
If, if, yeah, like I said, many times, if I'm not keeping score, then yeah, I'll hit it, hit a good shot every once in a while and that'll keep me going. You know, but other than that, I don't know that I could play 18 though.
00:10:00
echo_blades
Yeah. I.
00:10:03
tyrellknifeworks
We might have to play nine. I'd be bored at, uh, after nine.
00:10:08
echo_blades
Yeah, I don't know if there's any nines around, but yeah, we got to go out there. It's, it's a good time, but the tournaments are fun.
00:10:12
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
00:10:13
echo_blades
I think I might join this group. It's like once a month. Um, the, the group is, and it's with Jeff and, uh, the club is called the 50th, the 50th state Hawaiian golf club.
00:10:28
echo_blades
And there's maybe one Hawaiian. ish kind of guy. So I don't know where the name come. It's, just it's a bunch of, uh, mostly retired people, um, that have been playing together in this group for, for years and years and years. But the the name, I don't know where it came from, but it's pretty fun. It's good, good group of guys. And once a month and they get out to all kind of different things and have a chance to make a little money, get your round back or something. I think I won like 18 bucks. I won three skins.
00:11:03
echo_blades
So it's not a quick, swift kick in the balls for for a Saturday afternoon, but that was fun.
00:11:08
tyrellknifeworks
Hmm.
00:11:10
echo_blades
I enjoyed it.
00:11:11
tyrellknifeworks
Hmm.
00:11:11
echo_blades
And I did all that without a driver. I'm still hitting only a three wood.
00:11:16
echo_blades
So.
00:11:16
tyrellknifeworks
I won't be using a driver if we go anyway.
00:11:19
echo_blades
All right.
00:11:20
tyrellknifeworks
All right. Enough golf talk. This isn't this isn't the golf.
00:11:23
echo_blades
For my golfing buddies, I'm only using a three wood. Just remember that.
00:11:29
echo_blades
But hey, it's the camping golf special. Get the hell out of here.
00:11:31
tyrellknifeworks
Right. Oh, ah one one thing in his knife related on the

The Handy Pocket Knife in Action

00:11:36
tyrellknifeworks
camping trip. So, a good and a bad, a good pocket knife. The only knife I brought, actually we broughtish ah we were brought ah a knife to cut up vegetables, but the knife I mainly use was the pocket knife that I made, went great, still sharp as hell, was whittling sticks with it, doing all kinds of stuff, turned out great.
00:11:53
echo_blades
nice
00:11:58
tyrellknifeworks
The hatchet that I made, when did I make the hatchet? Jeez, it's probably like, I don't know, one of my, It's many, many pages back in my videos.
00:12:09
tyrellknifeworks
It's at least three years old. It was the first hatchet slash ax of any sort that I made.
00:12:16
echo_blades
Nice.
00:12:17
tyrellknifeworks
Blade, perfect. Handle fell off.
00:12:20
echo_blades
Oh, geez.
00:12:22
tyrellknifeworks
but So I had to like hammer the handle back on. I i might have to put a new um wedge in it because it keeps coming out.
00:12:32
echo_blades
Gotcha.
00:12:33
tyrellknifeworks
I would imagine I didn't flare the the the thing like you're supposed to, which is why the handle's coming off, but live and learn, right?
00:12:43
echo_blades
maybe Maybe you should pin that post when you redo it.
00:12:49
tyrellknifeworks
Pin. Yeah.
00:12:50
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah. I'll pin it.
00:12:50
echo_blades
Yeah, on and on Instagram you should pin it.
00:12:53
echo_blades
You know what I'm talking about Dennis?
00:12:57
echo_blades
they Ladies and gentlemen, we have this Justin. Dennis does not know how to pin a post on Instagram. it's
00:13:05
tyrellknifeworks
I've never needed to pin a post.
00:13:09
echo_blades
That is bullshit. Everyone has a post that is badass and you want to show your your best stuff and you pin it.
00:13:16
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, but every time I look at yours, I'm like, why do I keep seeing this post at the top of your thing that I've seen ages ago?
00:13:22
echo_blades
you When you only have done one good thing, you make that the focal point. And many people have.
00:13:29
tyrellknifeworks
You know, I am not an IG person.
00:13:32
echo_blades
Oh, I was laughing. He's like, what are you pinning? What? I was like, good God, old man.
00:13:38
tyrellknifeworks
I don't know why I'm surprised because I could pin on everything else, but.
00:13:42
echo_blades
Yeah. Anyways, I've been meaning to say that for a couple of weeks now, but Dennis did not understand the pinning feature on Instagram.
00:13:47
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, yeah.
00:13:50
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
00:13:50
echo_blades
So. The guru is not so much the guru, the software guy.
00:13:55
tyrellknifeworks
Right.
00:13:55
tyrellknifeworks
i I'm the software guy, not the app guy.
00:13:56
echo_blades
um and on
00:13:59
echo_blades
Yeah. But, uh, yeah. So then Sunday I ended up, uh, I had Sunday slated for, for knife working and, um, I did a lot of it. I had a really good, successful day in the shop. I actually, for whatever reason, I don't know why this happened, but.
00:14:19
echo_blades
I was not bothered by text messages or phone calls, um, all week. Like it was kind of a really low key week. And then on Sunday at about like 10 o'clock, like prime, um, I started getting some check-in calls, you know, wasn't the end of the world, but it was just like one after the other, after the other, after the other. And one of them actually was pretty cool. Cause, uh, you know, uh, talked to my,
00:14:47
echo_blades
my buddy Derek and and Brent and always good to check in. um But then I had a call from my buddy that I had checked in with when I was in Reno and I had took all the shit that I had with me that I had brought up there to show Rick and um the knife that we had done. And I was just doing a little show and tell because there's he's always got a bunch of people over his house and I was showing people some some chef knives and you know, this and this and that.
00:15:18
echo_blades
And then one of them ended up calling me back or he ended up calling me and said that one of the dudes was interested. And, um, so that 40 minute call was turned into a sale, an order for, for two, two knives.
00:15:32
tyrellknifeworks
Nice.
00:15:33
echo_blades
Yeah, I was stoked.
00:15:34
tyrellknifeworks
Nice. You're such a salesman.
00:15:35
echo_blades
So I just sell, sell, sell, you know, 50% of the job is making it, and the other 50% is about selling it. Yeah, I heard that somewhere.
00:15:47
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah. Yeah.
00:15:49
echo_blades
So.
00:15:49
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah. I got to do more of that because that dagger hasn't sold yet. So I gotta, I gotta get that thing moving.
00:15:57
echo_blades
ah in And now I'll be the first to say it right now, I, again, i an unplanned, not a purpose, but I have just kind of checked out of social media and IG, just kind of like my maintenance stuff,
00:16:11
echo_blades
I'll post something here or there or, you know, make sure I'm checking the, the the podcast stuff. And, um, but it's been nice and, uh, I don't know how that affects us now because you know, Instagram is being a little bitch. Um, but the account's not growing. I'm still getting a couple followers here and there, but nothing crazy.
00:16:40
echo_blades
But I am having a lot of ah nice, stressful, or stressless times not obsessing on it. because there's I don't know about you, but when I'm into it, like that's all I'm trying to do. I get really wrapped up in what everybody's doing, what I'm doing, how my shit's doing, you know blah, blah, blah.
00:16:58
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, I mean, i I go in waves, like... I'm sure you do too, where like, yeah, I want to post something in Instagram and I checked the insights. And then it's like, I'm still at like, I'm lucky if I get 3% non followers on some of the posts, I had one post that had like, I don't know, three or 4,000 views, you know, and it had like two to two or 3% non followers.
00:16:58
echo_blades
so
00:17:24
tyrellknifeworks
So I'm like, okay, this, this is not my, uh, my sales pipeline.
00:17:29
tyrellknifeworks
My, not my mechanism. So.
00:17:29
echo_blades
Yeah,
00:17:31
echo_blades
yeah
00:17:32
tyrellknifeworks
I'm i just doing it for interest sake now.
00:17:33
echo_blades
but I think it's, yeah, I was gonna say, it's like, it's good to check in with the community and, you know, keep everybody up to date with some things that you're doing. And and I like seeing what everybody else is doing too.
00:17:44
echo_blades
So it's, it's good and it's bad, right?
00:17:45
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
00:17:47
echo_blades
So, um, but, uh, Brent from Baldman Knife and Tool actually, um, collab with me on a couple of posts, because he's made some pretty significant progress on that collab that we're doing. I made a ah a twist Damascus billet that I took with me up to Florida. And with the way I wanted to do something with him. um So we designed a ah profile with some like features of my stuff and his stuff and
00:18:22
echo_blades
Um, he finally grounded out and did like a test edge on the billet and fuck. I'm super happy with how that, how that twist came out. That was the first one I've done on the, uh, with the twisting machine.
00:18:29
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, it looks really good.
00:18:34
echo_blades
Those bands are tight. Like it's, i'm I'm stoked about it.
00:18:36
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, it looks really good.
00:18:39
echo_blades
So I should be getting it back here and then I'll, uh, I'll finish it up, uh, etch it and do the handle work on it, sharpen it.
00:18:39
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
00:18:46
echo_blades
And I don't know.
00:18:47
tyrellknifeworks
And I like the profile. I like the lines, like the grind lines and stuff that he did and the handle and everything looks good.
00:18:52
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:18:53
tyrellknifeworks
I think that one will go quick.
00:18:54
echo_blades
Yeah. I hope so. I'm not sure what we're gonna do with it, but I don't want it. He doesn't want it. So somebody's gonna get it.
00:19:02
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, for sure.
00:19:04
echo_blades
But yeah, that was cool, man. i'm I'm super stoked about that. And yeah, so just work my ass off in the shop made some progress on some a lot of handle stuff.
00:19:16
echo_blades
Liners shaping, you know, trying to get ready for uh, finish up an order and then get the, uh, the maker swap, uh, knife that, uh, I want to take up there. Cause that shit's just around the corner and I'm actually starting to get excited now.
00:19:35
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, me too. um It's ah like I put in my my notes. It's getting on. Oh, sorry. I said that up about the apocalyptic challenge, but both are getting uncomfortably close.
00:19:45
tyrellknifeworks
um The, but maker camp. Yeah, I am getting excited. And what what do you, I had a question down here. What do you bring it? What are you bringing to maker camp?
00:19:55
echo_blades
What do you mean?
00:19:56
tyrellknifeworks
Well, obviously bringing clothes and shoes and shit, but I mean, what, what other stuff are you bringing?
00:19:59
echo_blades
I'm bringing me. Yeah.
00:20:05
echo_blades
Um, I haven't really thought about it just the normal stuff. I'll bring a, a hammer. I do bring a hammer, but I also, I think I bought hammers the last couple of times I've been there too, but, um,
00:20:25
echo_blades
Yeah, I i haven't even really thought about it. You just kind of caught me off guard there.
00:20:30
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, I think I'm going to bring, I mean, I'm sure Lawrence is going to have some steel, but I'm going to bring some steel. I might just throw together a kumai billet and, um, have one of those, um, to do.
00:20:44
tyrellknifeworks
I might bring some blanks. I did last year. I, I ground out a few blanks, um, just in my free time at the Broadbeck booth. And yeah, I'm.
00:20:53
echo_blades
You know, I, I, I'm the kind of guy that I will bring that stuff, but I don't ever really find myself doing those kind of projects, right?
00:20:54
tyrellknifeworks
like
00:21:05
echo_blades
I try to get wrapped up in all the things that are there that you can do. And then I want to spend my time kind of connecting with people and talking and bullshit. And then, um, cause I think I brought a couple blanks there last year too.
00:21:19
echo_blades
Um, and I didn't do anything with them, but it'd be cool to forge, you know, uh, a billet or something too.
00:21:24
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, even even in the the coal forge, I know how you love coal forges.
00:21:27
echo_blades
I don't know. We'll see.
00:21:30
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:21:32
tyrellknifeworks
um
00:21:32
echo_blades
Yeah. Fuck those.
00:21:35
tyrellknifeworks
I might bring a little ah piece of W2 and um throw that in the coal forge and forge a knife out of that and see how things go.
00:21:48
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:21:49
tyrellknifeworks
But,
00:21:49
echo_blades
I don't know. I just gonna.
00:21:49
tyrellknifeworks
to
00:21:51
echo_blades
try to do as much as I can again, you know, we got to, the rain really messed us up last year with all the plans that we had to try to do other things, but I'm not even worried about it.
00:21:59
tyrellknifeworks
yeah yeah
00:22:05
echo_blades
There's always plenty of shit to do, plenty of people to see and talk and bullshit and have a good time. um I do want to try to get some time with, the
00:22:12
tyrellknifeworks
yeah
00:22:19
echo_blades
forging, you know, just in general with, with the, with the experienced folk and tried to take advantage of those, those guys.
00:22:20
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:22:24
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah. And I definitely want to.
00:22:28
tyrellknifeworks
forge a knife while I'm there which is always fun but yeah I'm i'm excited about going
00:22:31
echo_blades
Mm hmm.
00:22:36
echo_blades
Cool.
00:22:36
tyrellknifeworks
um
00:22:37
echo_blades
Oh, that's so I had a follow up physical therapy appointment

Knee Injury and Running Aspirations

00:22:43
echo_blades
for my knee. Cause I started, I took off on that run. I had something about three weeks ago now.
00:22:49
echo_blades
and um ended up hurting my knee. So I went to a physical therapy appointment and they said, it's not really hurt, but it's hurt. So it gave me all those lame-ass exercises. I don't know if you've done physical therapy, but they have a way of telling you that you're hurt, but you got to do more exercises on shit that has nothing to do with it in theory, right? Well, they're like, well, you hurt your knee. That means you're you have,
00:23:18
echo_blades
bad quads or your glutes aren't strong and your, and your body's compass.
00:23:22
tyrellknifeworks
yeah all the surrounding muscles yeah yeah
00:23:22
echo_blades
I'm like, Oh yeah. So I'm doing these lame, less than masculine exercises at the house. And which to be honest with you, I don't know anybody that does them consistently.
00:23:35
echo_blades
So I did about 50% of what they, you know, had me do. So anyways, I had to follow up appointment and I told the lady who was super cool. Um, PT person, whatever you call them. And I said, I'm feeling better. Uh, I'm and in a lot less pain. Uh, I still know that the knees hurt and I'm not looking to just jump back in it, but I said, I am going to New York in three weeks and I am going to run a 5k.
00:24:07
echo_blades
with my buddies. So I'm fully prepared to go there and re-injure my knee.
00:24:15
tyrellknifeworks
You'll be popping, I'd be profing like a tic-tac.
00:24:18
echo_blades
yeah yeah ah So she's like, are you asking for permission or are you just telling, I'm just telling you. Cause this is going to happen. I'm not going to miss out on that.
00:24:29
echo_blades
And hopefully it's, it's strong enough.
00:24:30
tyrellknifeworks
but
00:24:32
echo_blades
but
00:24:33
tyrellknifeworks
That's like going to the dentist and the dentist asks you, so when was the last time you've lost?
00:24:38
echo_blades
Yeah. Yeah.
00:24:38
tyrellknifeworks
And think and they harass you for not flossing I floss the last time you floss me that's when I lost I'm not doing it.
00:24:44
echo_blades
Oh, that's gross, Dennis. That's disgusting. Pause once in like at least before you go.
00:24:52
tyrellknifeworks
I'm i'm not a flosser.
00:24:54
echo_blades
Oh, it's disgusting.
00:24:54
tyrellknifeworks
I Brushed my teeth but flossing come on. That's too much work I'm gonna get it
00:24:58
echo_blades
I guess I would say this is a little different category, but I am doing a little bit of physical therapy in order to take advantage and participate in the run for it up there, which I am excited to go run with, uh, Fader and Brian and whoever else is coming up there with us.
00:25:17
tyrellknifeworks
You gonna keep up with those guys?
00:25:18
echo_blades
So I can run. I don't have any problem running. I'm a big dude, but I ran pretty, pretty regularly for a long time, no matter how big I am.
00:25:29
tyrellknifeworks
Wow.
00:25:30
echo_blades
Cause I've lost a hundred pounds like a couple of times. So, uh, you big Jared runs and littler Jared runs. but bigger Jared and older Jared hurt his knee. So that's where I'm at right now. But that's, ah i'm I'm stoked about that. I'm actually really looking forward to that.
00:25:48
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, I'm, well, and we're not staying on site. So we don't need like the sleeping bag and all that other crap you have to bring if you're staying there. So that's nice.
00:25:58
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:26:00
echo_blades
I might be able to ice ice this knee actually for real.
00:26:01
tyrellknifeworks
So yeah, I'm right.
00:26:05
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah. Cause we're staying in the house. Hopefully that hopefully the house is decent. um
00:26:05
echo_blades
thatd be a That'll be a plus.
00:26:11
echo_blades
and It's going to be.
00:26:14
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, probably, but we'll see.
00:26:15
echo_blades
I'm not worried about it.
00:26:16
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
00:26:17
echo_blades
Company will be great. That's all that matters.
00:26:19
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
00:26:21
echo_blades
so
00:26:22
tyrellknifeworks
Cool. um Yeah, well, I'll tell you what I've been doing in the shop. I've been switching off between there those six chef knives and that I'm trying to get done just for the holidays and um working on the apocalyptic challenge blade, which that thing's kicking my ass.
00:26:46
tyrellknifeworks
um I ground one bevel today because remember, it's heat treated.
00:26:52
echo_blades
Mmhmm.
00:26:53
tyrellknifeworks
It's a big blade for I haven't told people beyond you what it is. It's a big blade and grinding one bevel took me over an hour, an hour and a half to grind one bevel.
00:27:08
tyrellknifeworks
So it it's the damp thing is heavy, so trying to grind that bevel is like hard on your arms. I'll be glad when I'm you know on the fourth one and it's it's gone on a diet. so But it's coming along. i mean it's yeah There are some issues with the blade.
00:27:27
tyrellknifeworks
I'm glad it's an apocalyptic challenge. Cause I think there's some, there's some issues with the, uh, the, uh, couple tiny little d lambs in the, um, uh, in the Kuma, like it's not something I'm going to sell for many thousands of dollars or anything like that.
00:27:48
tyrellknifeworks
Um, but it'll, it'll suit the challenge. Well, I think, yeah, but, uh,
00:27:52
echo_blades
Gotcha. doesn't it It's not yet. Perfection and isn't the the goal with this guy.
00:27:57
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah. It's no, it is not. It's not the high super polished finish, but, um, haven't done chef knives in a while. Um, and, uh, I was doing, I did the S grind on the radius platen and then, uh, I was using the the rotary patent. I'm going to, I'm going to give the broad back guys a free plug here. Uh, love that rotary platen. Have you used one of those?
00:28:28
echo_blades
I have not, I am, this is a conversation that we've been talking about and I know that, yeah, I am well aware.
00:28:29
tyrellknifeworks
yeah you e Yeah, you got to drink this Kool-Aid, because I'm all, I love, and I, but whatever, Brodery Platinum, whether it's Broadbecks, whatever.
00:28:44
tyrellknifeworks
I happen to have the Broadbecks one.
00:28:45
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:28:46
tyrellknifeworks
I love it. Doing the convex edge is so easy on that thing.
00:28:52
echo_blades
Yeah, that's.
00:28:53
tyrellknifeworks
Just a little pressure here like it's just it's smooths that well you have that leather backed plan which I'm sure is very similar um But the less heat because it's um Really really nice so that part of it ran really quick.
00:29:01
echo_blades
I do have one.
00:29:09
tyrellknifeworks
I was very happy with with Convex and all those edges Which is what I spent most of the day doing s grinding? convexing and then working on that big ass weapon for the apocalyptic challenge so now I'm on to hand sanding all those chef knives which is gonna be fun because I'll be using the sand shark and I got some more goodies from our buddy Kyle um So he sent me what I was.
00:29:45
tyrellknifeworks
I should know this, but I'm going to do some posts on this, but the sanding buddy is the one that takes the radius is, which is great because I need those for the the S grinds. But what's the sanding stick that that you have?
00:29:58
echo_blades
Just that, just that.
00:29:59
tyrellknifeworks
Oh, it's called the sanding stick. OK, yeah, he sent me a couple of those. um So what?
00:30:03
echo_blades
With the, with the different, uh, rubber for the backings.
00:30:06
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, yeah.
00:30:07
echo_blades
Yeah. Either that's my other than I still use that on with the sand shark.
00:30:14
tyrellknifeworks
OK, yeah, I have a couple of those for you, by the way, because there's more than I could possibly use.
00:30:15
echo_blades
It is nice.
00:30:19
tyrellknifeworks
um So yeah, but he sent me those in a t-shirt. So thank you, Kyle. um So what we're still working on something for the Sand Shark.
00:30:30
tyrellknifeworks
It will be very specific, so stay tuned on that.
00:30:33
echo_blades
I'm excited about that.
00:30:35
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, I'll be, and I didn't, I thought it was going to be specific to the sanding buddy, but the sanding sticks are going to work with this new contraption as well.
00:30:44
echo_blades
That's now you're talking. Now I'm even more interested than I was before you started.
00:30:47
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
00:30:50
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
00:30:51
echo_blades
Cause that sanding stick for whatever reason, there's that that's why Kyle's and ah people that make products for us are awesome.
00:31:02
echo_blades
Right. Find a problem, create a solution. It doesn't even matter how complex, how simple it is. That sanding stick is just, it's ergonomic. It's, it serves all kinds of your every hand sand and need you have.
00:31:16
echo_blades
I'm, I'm sold on that thing. I've tried a bunch of them and that's, that's my go-to.
00:31:18
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
00:31:20
echo_blades
So shout out KH daily.
00:31:22
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah. I'll be, I'll be using that thing for hours tomorrow. So let you know how it goes.
00:31:27
echo_blades
Nice. Nice.
00:31:29
tyrellknifeworks
And I, and you know, honestly, I have noticed, um, just a point I, I am way more productive when I get a really good night's sleep. I've noticed, um, uh, just, you know, you talk about those days when you're super productive.
00:31:44
tyrellknifeworks
Um, the days that, that, uh, you know, the night before I went to bed early, like whatever nine 30, get up all chipper. And those days are my super productive days, not the days where I'm up late doing podcast editing. So tomorrow probably won't be one of those super productive days, but, uh, you never know. We'll see.
00:32:09
echo_blades
How much time do you spend editing that?
00:32:11
tyrellknifeworks
ah it's It's not that I'm editing, it's like waiting um because it takes like a half an hour for it to upload. And if I have to physically edit it, which I do maybe 20% of the time, then I download the pieces and I put it into, I just use the Mac software. What is it? Guitar, what is it? I forget what it's called, what the Mac software is.
00:32:41
echo_blades
GarageBand.
00:32:42
tyrellknifeworks
GarageBand, that one, yeah, yeah.
00:32:44
echo_blades
Gotcha.
00:32:44
tyrellknifeworks
and And just edit. It's usually because I'm editing the volumes or sometimes I've got a cutout. If we have internet issues, I'm clipping things together. That's 10 minutes.
00:32:56
tyrellknifeworks
It's the whole processing and uploading and all that shit.
00:33:00
tyrellknifeworks
But anyway.
00:33:01
echo_blades
Cool.
00:33:03
tyrellknifeworks
Speaking of honestly speaking, I've gone through all kinds of like technical things in the last week. I don't remember if we talked about totally ditched our DirecTV have been so upset with that.
00:33:16
tyrellknifeworks
direct tv You don't have DirecTV at home, right?
00:33:20
echo_blades
of Comcast.
00:33:21
tyrellknifeworks
Comcast. yeah So DirecTV had a ah dispute with Apple and all of a sudden, was this a week and a half ago or something? Like maybe it's two weeks ago.
00:33:33
tyrellknifeworks
All of a sudden we lose ABC yeah ESPN, FX, and all these channels because they're owned by Disney and they're having a contract dispute. So Kim goes mental because she can't watch the football game because it's on yeah ABC.
00:33:55
tyrellknifeworks
Um, so she's mad cause she couldn't watch the football game. Uh, anyway, it went on. So, and then two days later, I get an email from direct TV that says we're upping your bill by $8 a month, um, rate. And they still, they hadn't even resolved the contract dispute. So I'm like, this is really bad timing for you to send out an email telling me you're raising my bill.
00:34:22
tyrellknifeworks
So drop them and then I'm hearing you, you know, yeah yeah although your internet seems up and down, but I'm on AT&T internet and I'm paying the same price as you for a tenth of the speed.
00:34:36
tyrellknifeworks
So changed over to Comcast internet. Well, I will be. So that was my
00:34:37
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:34:44
echo_blades
Yeah. I don't, the the internet is kind of, it's frustrating right now, but the services was good. I don't have any, I just kind of, I've, I've accepted the fact that that we pay a lot of money for cable and internet.
00:34:53
tyrellknifeworks
wait
00:34:59
echo_blades
That's it.
00:35:00
tyrellknifeworks
The well, I'm on me I'm paying half.
00:35:00
echo_blades
We could ditch it all. and
00:35:03
tyrellknifeworks
I'm on YouTube TV now, which I actually really like and I'm paying half when I was paying on direct TV Which is
00:35:10
echo_blades
Yeah, I get it.

Switching from DirecTV to YouTube TV

00:35:13
tyrellknifeworks
yeah Yeah
00:35:13
echo_blades
My wife says, yeah, she likes the TV and that's just part of, part of the deal. So, but I'm with you.
00:35:20
tyrellknifeworks
ah you're Your internet, are you having any issues with internet or like on Comcast?
00:35:25
echo_blades
Every now and again.
00:35:26
tyrellknifeworks
No. Yeah, but I have it every now and again. I've had to reset my router four times in the last three days.
00:35:32
echo_blades
Yeah. I'm supposed to get a a gig, a download and Um, there, there's two parts to it. We have, uh, an Euro wire, uh, wifi mesh system. Cause our, I don't sound like a dick, but our house is is big. So the, the wifi extenders, but if you get the, the mesh system, it's supposed to make a complete, you know, it's the most efficient way to get wifi throughout your house. Um, but that system that I bought is from 2018. So it's not living up to the potential of the internet speeds that I'm getting now.
00:36:07
echo_blades
And it wasn't cheap then. So I'm kind of like, do I need to go up to the next, the newer model to help with the wifi? So it's, it's partly me and Comcast is just, it's okay.
00:36:20
tyrellknifeworks
Hmm.
00:36:21
echo_blades
It's not a horrible, but it's, it's not the best.
00:36:22
tyrellknifeworks
Hmm.
00:36:26
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, I was, not that this is like the Geek Squad podcast, but um I was debating whether do i do I go and research and get my own modem and do all that shit.
00:36:39
tyrellknifeworks
And then I started looking at the prices of those things. They're like 400 bucks for a decent cable modem now. And
00:36:48
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:36:49
tyrellknifeworks
And then I'm like, screw it. I'm just gonna, I've got 10 bucks a month for 24 months for the rental with the full thing. So I'm probably going to do that and see how that goes.
00:37:00
tyrellknifeworks
If I don't like it.
00:37:01
echo_blades
Yeah, they have they have extenders as part of that package, too. So it you'll be fine. It'll be better than what you're getting because your your show was dog trash.
00:37:07
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
00:37:11
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah. I don't have an extender now and it's been fine. So throughout our whole house and backyard and everything.
00:37:15
echo_blades
Hmm.
00:37:16
tyrellknifeworks
So I don't think I'll need the extender.
00:37:19
echo_blades
you will.
00:37:19
tyrellknifeworks
unless it's dog shit.
00:37:22
echo_blades
It's better.
00:37:22
tyrellknifeworks
but
00:37:24
echo_blades
um
00:37:25
tyrellknifeworks
yeah
00:37:26
echo_blades
Yeah, well, I'm yeah, I'm I and need to go and try the the rotary platen though. That's something I need to do. Because I'm heard nothing but good things about it. And I'm looking to buy another tool anyway. So
00:37:43
tyrellknifeworks
The, well, if you don't try it at my house, they'll have my maker camp, maybe ah pull it out there. I'm sure they'll, ah they'll have them there. um
00:37:51
echo_blades
and i guess Yeah, that's right.
00:37:53
tyrellknifeworks
ah I like that it doesn't generate much heat and just the soft backing. um Yeah, it's nice.
00:38:00
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:38:00
tyrellknifeworks
I like it. I don't know that I would use it. I don't convex anything other than chef knives. Like, I don't bother convexing buoys or anything like that.
00:38:12
tyrellknifeworks
I guess if I was going to, I would use that. But it's really nice for for for kitchen coloring that you're gonna convex an edge on.
00:38:22
echo_blades
Nice.
00:38:24
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, I recommend it.
00:38:24
echo_blades
Cool.
00:38:25
tyrellknifeworks
um It's a good piece.
00:38:26
echo_blades
Well, it's cool. Cause maybe I will try it.
00:38:27
tyrellknifeworks
ah
00:38:28
echo_blades
Cause the, uh, I'm super stoked about this. My, my buddy, uh, Andy, uh, affectionately known, uh, AJ is, uh, sub AJ got married last year, September, and I made them a knife. I made him and him and his wife a knife and they used it to cut their wedding cake, which was super cool. And ah they're coming up on a year. um This month, sometime, the end of this month. And so I told him, I was like, send me the knife back because I want to etch the cake cutter on it and I'm going to personalize it a little bit and give it a little spa treatment and
00:39:18
echo_blades
Maybe I'll convex the edge.
00:39:20
tyrellknifeworks
Is it Damascus?
00:39:22
echo_blades
No, just stainless.
00:39:24
tyrellknifeworks
No. Yeah, you're gonna have to sand it though.
00:39:26
echo_blades
But anyways.
00:39:29
echo_blades
Whatever. He doesn't care. They just want it to be sharp.
00:39:33
tyrellknifeworks
Just do it, just do with a like a thousand grit or something like that and then don't bother.
00:39:34
echo_blades
No, but.
00:39:39
tyrellknifeworks
Just do a belt finish on it.
00:39:42
echo_blades
Yeah, I don't I don't just thinking out the box, but I'm excited to to get that thing back because I have the ability now to, to personalize it. And then I got to read kind of clean up and ah the other knife that I brought back from Reno too. So that's interesting. That is a very new concept for me to get things back that I've made. Right. So this would be a year ago. I'm interested to see it and be like, you know, kind of like what you just went through with your, with the, uh, that, uh, Bowie for your buddy.
00:40:14
tyrellknifeworks
oh Oh, I, I have other news.

Discovering Parker's First Knife Project

00:40:16
tyrellknifeworks
Um, so I, I was cleaning up Parker's room because he doesn't stay here anymore. We're going to convert his room, whatever. And, uh, cleaning out all his drawers and guess what I found?
00:40:33
echo_blades
There's so many jokes there, but go ahead.
00:40:36
tyrellknifeworks
Well, I guess you would call this technically knife number one. Um, I don't really consider it knife. Number one, cause I, I there's another knife that I kinda cause anyway, long story, but probably definitely the first knife I ever worked on.
00:40:55
tyrellknifeworks
I think I don't call this knife. Number one, because I don't remember if this was like, I i think I screwed up and this wasn't hard noble steel or I screwed up the heat treat or whatever.
00:41:06
echo_blades
Gotcha.
00:41:06
tyrellknifeworks
Um, I don't remember. i'm I'm sure if I tested it, it would be terrible. But um looking at this thing, it's bad.
00:41:19
tyrellknifeworks
ah the ah the I did sharpen it, and the secondary bevel is like a quarter inch. It's really bad.
00:41:28
echo_blades
That's funny.
00:41:30
tyrellknifeworks
yeah But anyway.
00:41:34
echo_blades
Gotcha. I want to see it.
00:41:36
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, I'll show you next time.
00:41:36
echo_blades
You know what else you could do, though, if you're interested in getting a rotary platen for yourself, you can go see our buddy Lawrence at Maritime Knife Supply. He carries Broadbeck stuff, including all their attachments, grinders. And I finally got my not finally, but I ended up getting my order for the the Condersal and some steel and all that stuff.
00:42:08
echo_blades
So it was good to get a nice package from Lawrence because whatever you need for your knife making needs, make sure you go check him out because he carries everything, including something that Jared found like a year ago that Dennis just found.
00:42:19
tyrellknifeworks
everything
00:42:25
echo_blades
and thinks it's great. The DRO for the drill press.
00:42:30
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, but mine works and yours doesn't.
00:42:30
echo_blades
the but I just walked past mine today. and I said, hey buddy, how's it going? It's been a while. Yeah, but make sure you go check out Lawrence.
00:42:41
echo_blades
He's got everything from abrasives to steel to poxy, drill bits, grinders, heat treating ovens, the Condersal now. um He's also, i'm I'm not sure, I think it's supposed to be there, but the ah the limited edition two bastards hammer, Vaquero.
00:43:00
echo_blades
He carries that um from our buddies, Frank and Anita over at two bastards hammer.
00:43:01
tyrellknifeworks
Yep.
00:43:06
echo_blades
If you're looking to get a, fat peen because why it's that's right.
00:43:12
tyrellknifeworks
Cause it's grand to have a fat peen in your hand.
00:43:16
echo_blades
So I'm going to go anonymous here and I'm going to tell the story that one of our listeners um shared with me that they were trying to save some cost on, on a hammer.
00:43:31
echo_blades
So they got a, what seemed to be a fat peen. from another place. I don't know. There was no names, but, uh, the long story short was that, uh, that fat pain wasn't so fat. And, uh, so there is no substitute for the fat pain. If you want a big fat pain in your hand, but go see Frank and Nita over at two bastards hammer, and you can get the back care edition from our buddy Lawrence at maritime knife supply, who will also also cut up all your steel for.
00:44:03
echo_blades
uh, Damascus and, um, just take that right out of your day, get that time back because time is money and you can save money with maritime knife supply.
00:44:13
tyrellknifeworks
and And it's all the little things. It's not just that he cuts up your steel. He writes on every one of those pieces of steel what kind of steel it is. So when you're walking down the shop, you trip and you drop all your steel on the floor, you know which is which.
00:44:29
echo_blades
That's right.
00:44:29
tyrellknifeworks
Not that I've ever done that.
00:44:29
echo_blades
That's.
00:44:32
echo_blades
yeah I don't know if I have either. But if you did, you'd be covered because Lawrence is the man. And I'm stoked to see him in a couple of weeks.
00:44:38
tyrellknifeworks
Yes, me too. And one one little modification to what you said. ah He does sell Broadback, but only to those in Canada. So if you're in the US, you can't buy Broadback from Maritime. But um if you're up in Canada, you can.
00:44:52
echo_blades
I'm pretty sure only people from Canada listen to us. So that that's what that's what that pitch was.
00:44:58
tyrellknifeworks
Well, that works because my maker spotlight is from Canada today. So, you know.
00:45:02
echo_blades
Oh, really?
00:45:06
echo_blades
I don't know.
00:45:06
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah. Should we move over to make her spotlight or?
00:45:08
echo_blades
I guess. Yeah, we can.
00:45:12
tyrellknifeworks
So, um I've been following this guy for a while.
00:45:12
echo_blades
Since we're burning here, let's go.
00:45:18
tyrellknifeworks
It is Jean-Pierre Pouvain, saying it like a Frenchman, Potvin for the rest of you folk.
00:45:26
echo_blades
I wish said Potvin.
00:45:29
tyrellknifeworks
No, you would have.
00:45:29
echo_blades
No doubt.
00:45:33
tyrellknifeworks
Um, uh, it, and I'm going to say like an American Potvin underscore knives. Uh, he does phenomenal work. If you haven't been following this, um, I don't even know this angel, uh, dagger with the feathers and the, it it's really incredible. It's go check out, um, uh,
00:45:55
tyrellknifeworks
Paul Vay underscore knives and and take a look, ah just really an incredible piece. And ah he is going to be, he is a guest at the AKI, the um Art Knife Invitational, which happens every year in Vegas.
00:46:14
tyrellknifeworks
And I actually, yeah, that's, yeah that's that that is ah honestly, that is that is a personal goal for me at some point to maybe get invited to the AKI.
00:46:15
echo_blades
Oh, that's the, that's the one, right?
00:46:27
tyrellknifeworks
Then you know you made it. um And that your buddy your buddy Seth, who's beside us at Blade Show, is also a guest at AKI this year.
00:46:38
echo_blades
Wow. Good for you, Seth.
00:46:39
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, yeah. then that
00:46:42
echo_blades
I'm Mr. Jean-Pierre Pouvay.
00:46:47
tyrellknifeworks
Paul Vang Paul Vang.
00:46:47
echo_blades
Help me.
00:46:49
echo_blades
Pouvay.
00:46:49
tyrellknifeworks
I could be pronouncing my my French might be a little off, but I'm pretty sure it's Paul Vang. Pickle would know. But AKI is a big deal like it.
00:47:01
tyrellknifeworks
It is an invitational invitational as a as a maker. Obviously say anybody can go um and I was considering actually going this year. I'm just giving myself a late birthday present and.
00:47:15
tyrellknifeworks
going with Kim for the weekend of because it's in Vegas. And ah two things. First, Vegas has become so expensive. it's It's a weekend that the Raiders are playing. So forget it. Like hotels are 500 bucks a night for a crappy hotel. And and the AKI is like 200 bucks a ticket, which I was like, damn,
00:47:43
tyrellknifeworks
That's a lot of money just to get into the AKI that I'm going to be there for probably two hours. um It would be nice.
00:47:50
echo_blades
200 bucks, you better stay longer.
00:47:53
tyrellknifeworks
What's that?
00:47:54
echo_blades
That's it for 200 bucks. You better be staying longer than two hours.
00:47:58
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, I know, or I better be making some money at the tables before I go. um But yeah, decided not to do that trip, not because of the AKI, but just because of flights. And it's just been become crazy expensive to go to Vegas now. I mean, for us, we're only an hour flight away. It used to be a hundred bucks for an air flight. Now it's like, it's like $400 to get to Vegas now on a, on a Raiders weekend. So the, uh, the Raiders movement of Vegas is bullshit. I wish they were still in Oakland.
00:48:35
echo_blades
Uh, this is a very sore subject.
00:48:38
tyrellknifeworks
one
00:48:38
echo_blades
This is a very sore subject.
00:48:40
tyrellknifeworks
What you're happy there in Vegas.
00:48:44
echo_blades
No, I'm an, I'm a Niners fan, but the, uh, first off that guy is makes amazing stuff. And I'm a Dick because apparently he followed me and I missed that follow and I didn't follow back. So I just, uh, followed you back, sir. Apologize about that.
00:49:05
echo_blades
Um, but that angel dagger thing is just sweet, just sweet.
00:49:09
tyrellknifeworks
Oh, yeah. And you scroll down and he's he's just...
00:49:13
echo_blades
I'm in awe right now. Yeah. I'm seeing all this amazing, amazing stuff.
00:49:16
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
00:49:17
echo_blades
So, um, that's a good, that's a good spotlight.
00:49:18
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, definitely a knife artist.
00:49:21
echo_blades
Yeah, for sure. Um, good stuff. And I think you'll be, you can, you can make it to the AKI.
00:49:29
tyrellknifeworks
All right.
00:49:31
echo_blades
I'll give you permission. I'll get you invited there. Don't worry. I know some people.
00:49:35
tyrellknifeworks
You know some people?
00:49:36
echo_blades
Um, yeah, but anyways, back to the, the Oakland and the Vegas thing.
00:49:36
tyrellknifeworks
All right.
00:49:41
echo_blades
Um, this week is Thursday is the final game for the Oakland A's in Oakland.
00:49:52
tyrellknifeworks
oh i see gerine
00:49:53
echo_blades
And I'm going to be completely honest. My heart's a little broken. It's a, I know it's been coming for a long time and I've been in a lifelong Ace fan, um, like season ticket holder for many years.
00:50:10
echo_blades
Uh, and they're a shitty team. They're not a shitty team. The, the, the owners are a shitty. Um, they haven't been represented well and.
00:50:17
tyrellknifeworks
Oh, I see what you mean.
00:50:18
echo_blades
Never really. Give a true shot at stuff, but the people, the fans deserve better and it is just absolutely a bummer that they're leaving and I am going to attend the last game and I will probably cry.
00:50:37
tyrellknifeworks
And they're going to Vegas, right?
00:50:40
echo_blades
Eventually, I guess they're going to Sacramento for a few years while the stadium is getting built, but yeah, so.
00:50:44
tyrellknifeworks
Oh, that's right.
00:50:47
echo_blades
you're playing tickets.
00:50:47
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
00:50:48
echo_blades
Apparently if they're, they'll go up, but I hope, you know, that they get and, you know, start to put some money into the team and the, uh, the new fan base.
00:50:59
echo_blades
Yeah. It's just, it's a bummer, man. It's absolute heartbreaker, a heart wrencher. So, um, I debated whether I wanted to go, um, for a long time. Cause I stopped going to games. Cause I don't want to give that bastard John Fisher any money, but this, uh,
00:51:16
echo_blades
Too many memories from my childhood. And so I'm going to take my son, um, on Thursday and we'll go say bye-bye to the Oakland athletics blue.
00:51:30
tyrellknifeworks
Oakland's losing all the teams.
00:51:32
echo_blades
Every single team. I'm no Noah city that lost three professional sports teams in a matter of a couple of years.
00:51:33
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, it's a bummer.
00:51:40
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
00:51:40
echo_blades
It's crazy. It's mind blowing, but yeah. So onto my, uh, makers spotlight, I have burnt chef underscore knives currently has 333 followers. And, um, he popped up on my, uh, I think Azza helped me Zarzeka.
00:52:10
tyrellknifeworks
i Sure. I think you got it.
00:52:12
echo_blades
I think that's how you say it. Yeah. Um, but he's a, uh, an avid cook for 11 years and followed his passion for sharp things and started making some stuff. And, um, like I said, uh, I was looking through his stuff and I like what I see and I thought I'd give him a shout out and throw him some, uh, some love. And I hope you guys do the same things. That's a burnt chef underscored knives and, uh,
00:52:42
echo_blades
Yeah. Looks like a ah newer on the newer to the, uh, to the craft here. So go check them out.

00:52:59
tyrellknifeworks
Right. they did They know the usability aspects for sure.

00:53:05
tyrellknifeworks

And when they're getting after it, I like to see it. So I thought I'd give, uh, give them a shout out and go check them out.
00:53:15
tyrellknifeworks
Nice. Very cool. burnt chef underscore knives and pole van or pot van underscore knives are two maker spotlights for this week.
00:53:31
echo_blades
Yeah. Go show them some love.
00:53:34
tyrellknifeworks
Yep. So if you're not making your own steel, where are you going to go?
00:53:39
echo_blades
I would go to Baker Forge and tool and I would definitely get in on all of their fantastic Damascus pilots because they are the best at doing this and they make a lot of it and they make badass stuff um this week. They just dropped the ah Firestorm Damascus core in a brand new pattern in the surge pattern. So um go check that out.
00:54:10

echo_blades
I believe you're right.
00:54:20

00:56:07
tyrellknifeworks
Well, since we're doing all the sponsors, I will talk about Pelican Paste. I plan on using some of this when I get to all the handles on these chef knives that I'm doing. um And I'll probably spread some on those blades as well, though they're stainless, still makes them look nice. So ah hard wax, soft wax, Pelican oil, hand salve, soap, get your hands clean, because, you know, the ladies don't like those shop hands. So get yourself some Pelican Paste.

tyrellknifeworks
Nice.
00:57:10
tyrellknifeworks
Well, man.
00:57:10
echo_blades
I have I have ah something cool happen. Uh, we have a listener question too. And, but I, you might remember cause you always listen intently to the things that I share with you. Um, I, ah I,
00:57:29
echo_blades
um, had started a knife for a customer ah a while ago and I ordered some stabilized redwood that I got back
00:57:40
tyrellknifeworks
Yes.
00:57:40
echo_blades
And I was not happy with the product that I received. Right.
00:57:45
tyrellknifeworks
Mm hmm.
00:57:45
tyrellknifeworks
I recall.
00:57:45
echo_blades
So I ended up sending that.
00:57:46
echo_blades
Yeah. I ended up sending that, um, a couple of pieces over to our buddy, um, Ryan cochlea, uh, Chad, one Ryan Chad board.
00:57:55
tyrellknifeworks
Ryan Chadward knife works.
00:57:58
echo_blades
And I've said, yeah, that's, that's a confusing one still gets me, but, uh, and he, he ran them through his stabilizing process because he makes. He stabilizes wood, um, and go grab yourself some of the, uh, if you're lucky enough to catch one of those drops, I got a couple of pieces myself.
00:58:16
echo_blades
Um, but that guy is kind of being very particular about wanting a redwood. He he lives up in the Santa Cruz mountains. Um, so there's, there's a lot of redwoods up there and he's, uh, actually lives in the country where he has access to a lot of redwood.
00:58:26
tyrellknifeworks
Mm hmm. Get it? Yeah.
00:58:34
echo_blades
Um, and he does. He makes big tables and, you know, woodworking kind of thing um on redwood. um So he's got a hard on for the ah redwood handle. And so I told him, I, you know, wasn't happy with what I got. And he's like, well, you know what? Let me, let me just give you some, some redwood and and we'll get it stabilized and we'll use some of that. So this has been going on for a while though, right? So obviously he's not in a huge hurry. um But I came to work.
00:59:08
echo_blades
last week. Yeah, last middle of the week. And there was a giant plastic bag and I probably have like 15, probably eight by four by almost like an inch and a half, two inches thick.
00:59:25
tyrellknifeworks
Wow.
00:59:25
echo_blades
uh, blocks of redwood. Um, so I reached out to our buddy Ryan and asked him if he was interested in helping me out, uh, stabilizing that stuff.
00:59:36
echo_blades
So I'm going to be sending some blocks out there.
00:59:39
tyrellknifeworks
Nice, and nice and dry.
00:59:41
echo_blades
Yeah, they are super nice and dry.
00:59:43
tyrellknifeworks
Nice.
00:59:44
echo_blades
It's really cool. Really cool. Um, patterns in them too. So I'm stoked about that.
00:59:52
tyrellknifeworks
Cool.
00:59:53
echo_blades
I don't know. I feel like that's a huge score.
00:59:56
tyrellknifeworks
Uh, it is, I love a good stabilized, like a nice piece of redwood looks. it It almost reminds me of like the red part of like an Amboyna, like he gets that swirly.
01:00:08
echo_blades
Yeah.
01:00:10
tyrellknifeworks
It looks really good.
01:00:11
echo_blades
Yep. Yep. I agree. I agree.
01:00:15
tyrellknifeworks
Cool.
01:00:15
echo_blades
So going to get that going and be stoked.
01:00:19
tyrellknifeworks
we're gonna We got a listener question you said, and I still want to talk a bit about the triple T this week, but what's our listener question?
01:00:27
echo_blades
So we got a message from a gentleman at Freeman Farm and Forge, and his question is, I am a hobby maker and looking to purchase a major

upgrade. Currently I heat treat out of my forge and grind on a 1x30 and a 4x36 grinder. I'm looking to either purchase a heat treat oven or a good 2x72 grinder. Could you make a case for both of them or or one of them over the other. I want to start using stainless and but and i and would send them out for heat treat if I went with a grinder. So basically, he's we've all been in this spot as as new makers where we've tried to go minimal in on the dollars to to get started to see if it's something that we want to do and you find yourself at this
01:01:21
echo_blades
point where, um, you have some decisions to make, you know, do you get a heat treated oven or do you get a new grinder? What do you do?
01:01:32
tyrellknifeworks
Well, what's your answer? What would you do?
01:01:34
echo_blades
I would give both.
01:01:35
tyrellknifeworks
We don't, we don't all have Jeff, by the way, so.
01:01:42
echo_blades
Yeah, maybe you don't get to just ask your buddy to help you make a grinder when you don't even know what a fucking bolt or a wrench is.
01:01:46
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah. did I'm laughing because of what Jared did is get his friend Jeff to help him build a grinder. And then he bought, even he'd right out of the gate pretty much.
01:02:02
echo_blades
I bought the even he, before we started building the grinder.
01:02:05
tyrellknifeworks
so
01:02:06
echo_blades
It was, I didn't even know it was possible at that point.
01:02:06
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah. Right.
01:02:09
echo_blades
So, so there's some truth and some embellishment on that, but it did happen like that. So I did have that amazing resource, which I'm forever grateful for. it Um,
01:02:19
tyrellknifeworks
But what would be your advice to this guy?
01:02:23
echo_blades
I would go with a grinder, 100%, 100%.
01:02:26
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, for sure. 100%.
01:02:31
tyrellknifeworks
The grinder is your workhorse. I mean, you can either send a stainless out for heat treat or just honestly just hold off on stainless. Um, you know, if you work work on Damascus or work on other items, um, you know, unless you absolutely want stainless, then yeah, send it out. That's that's easier. Uh, you'll get a lot more bang for your buck out of a two by 72.
01:02:31
echo_blades
Yeah.
01:02:59
tyrellknifeworks
every single knife, stainless or not, you're going to need the grinder.
01:03:00
echo_blades
first
01:03:03
echo_blades
Yep. Hands down. There's that is the, the must need the must have service.
01:03:06
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
01:03:11
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah. And, and I'll go one further. I would say before the heat treat oven, um, get your two by 72 and there's a few attachments you're going to want. I would get the very first attachment you should get or make is a surface grinding attachment.
01:03:28
echo_blades
and I agree.
01:03:29
tyrellknifeworks
And then probably a small wheel.
01:03:33
echo_blades
e I might go the other way, but just financially. But it may all depends on what what what position you're in, you know, monetarily. If you can get them both, get them both.
01:03:44
echo_blades
because and I mean, mean, you got to obviously make sure that you're this is what you want to do and you're and you're into it, right? Otherwise, you're just throwing dollars out the door. But um I was of the mindset when I started that there was no fucking way in hell I was going to
01:03:53
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
01:04:02
echo_blades
be able to heat treat out of the forge. Just me personally, that process, that not knowing that it would have drove me crazy. Um, so, and I had a crazy opportunity to get a screaming deal.
01:04:16
echo_blades
So, but the grinder is hands down.
01:04:17
tyrellknifeworks
yeah
01:04:20
echo_blades
If if I was to do it again, that that's what I would do. ah Things changed very dramatically once I got a two by 72.
01:04:27
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, it just, and especially a variable speed two by 72.
01:04:31
echo_blades
And that's going to go, they even make those variable speed one by thirties, but there's something to be said for having a the ability to turn that bitch up all the way and no chance in hell you're stopping it, you know, and then bringing it down to zero.
01:04:46
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, absolutely.
01:04:50
echo_blades
So you're not, you know, cause I think I had a two by 48 that had just one hall ass speed and all speed all the time.
01:04:55
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, all speed, all the time. kind of
01:04:58
echo_blades
And on those one. Just even to 120. Oh God. That was a, that was a nightmare.
01:05:04
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
01:05:04
echo_blades
Big difference from the one by 30 to that. Um, so yeah, man, but that's, that's what I would do.
01:05:07
tyrellknifeworks
yeah
01:05:09
echo_blades
Um, I think Dennis is on the same page. Uh, there's so many options for, you know, and price points on grinders. Um, you know, the DIY, the house made the revolution to the Rodbeck, Maribara and all the other guys, um, they all make great tools and.
01:05:27
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
01:05:27
echo_blades
You know, as long as you stick with those reputable guys, you know?
01:05:30
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, can't go wrong with any three of those makes you just said.
01:05:34
echo_blades
Yeah, I agree. So.
01:05:37
tyrellknifeworks
Cool. Yeah, I mean, i think I think we've seen that kind of question before, um but good to circle back on that one.
01:05:48
echo_blades
Hmm.
01:05:48
tyrellknifeworks
I actually answer a lot of these. If, um, if you're a new maker here, I'm going to do a shameless plug here. If you're a new maker, um, go check out my beginner series. There's a playlist on my YouTube channel. Um, and it talks about a lot of these questions like, should I buy this? Should I buy that? Should I get a press? Should I get a power hammer? Should I like a lot of these questions, like, like tool progression, a lot of those I cover in the very first episode of, um,
01:06:19
tyrellknifeworks
first two episodes, depending on whether you're forging or stock removal. um So yeah, go check out the the beginner series playlist on on my YouTube channel.
01:06:29
echo_blades
Yeah, the newer one you did was not a lot. I had the evolution of your experience into this newer one. So, um, both of them are good though, but yeah, there's no shameless in that dude.
01:06:37
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah. Yeah.
01:06:41
echo_blades
That's, that's a amazing service that you provided this community. And one of the things that, you know, all of our listeners, I'm sure of, uh, appreciate and recognize. So it's a good suggestion.
01:06:55
echo_blades
Self-centered bastard. Oh, my bad.
01:07:00
tyrellknifeworks
I do want to just touch quickly on the the triple T videos. So we did um installment two of the folder series where we started drilling our holes and doing the um the channel for the stop pin.

Folder Series Progress Update

01:07:16
tyrellknifeworks
ah So how did some ways to do that? That's probably the the really the only tricky part of like, if you don't have a mill, how do you do that section?
01:07:27
tyrellknifeworks
Um, so there's some, you know, you can, you can do it by hand with a file. You can do it in a drill prep, putting an end mill in a drill press, as long as you go really slow, take really small bites.
01:07:40
tyrellknifeworks
um You can get away with a drill press. um It's not great for your drill press. I wouldn't do this all day, every day, um but you can get it done.
01:07:51
tyrellknifeworks
I've done it on a drill press before. i My old intermediate series, I showed how to slot a guard whither with an end mill.
01:07:58
echo_blades
But you need a DRO.
01:08:00
tyrellknifeworks
um yeah it's You do need a DRO because you want to know how you know how far that end mill is going down. So it's a good idea to have a DRO in your drill press.
01:08:12
echo_blades
OK.
01:08:13
tyrellknifeworks
So go watch that video on how to install a drill press DRO.
01:08:16
echo_blades
OK, enough already, dude, jeez.
01:08:20
tyrellknifeworks
um I've had a lot of people ask me for the PDF for the folder. um So for the SandTiger X, which is the folding version of the SandTiger, a lot of people ask me for that pattern.
01:08:37
tyrellknifeworks
So I've put that pattern up on Patreon. So if you're a Patreon member, ah you can go download that for free. um So go get it printed out, put it on, you know, you can follow along.
01:08:51
tyrellknifeworks
ah You can also get that on my website if you're not a Patreon member. Honestly, it's cheaper to become a Patreon member. Go do that. um And then you get all the other designs as well.
01:09:04
tyrellknifeworks
But um
01:09:04
echo_blades
Or you can just hit your boy Jared up and and I'll give it to you. I'm kidding.
01:09:13
tyrellknifeworks
I'm going to excommunicate you in a second.
01:09:16
echo_blades
I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'll charge you twice as much.
01:09:21
tyrellknifeworks
I am going to take a break from the folder series this week. I'm going to do just an update on that laser. I promised I was going to do a video on all of the attachments for the F1 Ultra, um which is pretty cool.
01:09:36
echo_blades
Ooh.
01:09:37
tyrellknifeworks
The conveyor, um the rotary table the rotary attachment, and a bunch of the other attach the air purifier, and a bunch of the attachments.
01:09:48
echo_blades
Nice.
01:09:48
tyrellknifeworks
So I'm going to do that, and then we'll get back to the folder series first week of October. I can't believe Next week is October already. What the hell? September is just flown by. I can't believe it.
01:10:05
echo_blades
Yeah, this is my, and this is going to be my last full weekend to get anything done. Cause the weekend after that, I go to LA with my daughter and then come back from that home a couple of days and we're off to New York.
01:10:19
echo_blades
So that's, that's crazy.
01:10:21
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah. i I gotta to get that. I mean, I do have the week after ah maker camp to finish my apocalyptic challenge build. I don't really want to use that week. I want it done. Like I want to be editing video that last week. I don't want to be working on the build, but I'll see how it goes. But reminder for all you guys working on your apocalyptic challenge builds. Remember the deadline. um I don't remember the timeline for you guys. I'm pretty sure it's the 18th and 19th. It's the Friday before. What's the Friday? I'm gonna have to look it up. um It is the 18th. So you need to get your your email, your entries into the YouTube KnifeMaker Challenge email. um And remember, your picture has to not only have your build, but you have to have what you started with.
01:11:19
tyrellknifeworks
Okay. Hopefully you read the rules and you either kept a piece of that or you're editing and you took a picture of it and you're going to edit in that into your final picture digitally.
01:11:30
tyrellknifeworks
Um, but I want to see what you, we want to see what you started with. That's part of the interesting thing here on the apocalyptic challenge. Already got a couple entries.

01:12:54
echo_blades
I like this, this clip around. We don't talk for. a week and then that's it. We're, that's it once a week.
01:13:03
tyrellknifeworks
That's right.
01:13:04
echo_blades
It's the recipe for no talking to Dennis.
01:13:04
tyrellknifeworks
We talk on this podcast and that's it. No talking to Jared.
01:13:08
echo_blades
Yeah. This is healthy, functional friendships here. Follow our lead guys.
01:13:16
tyrellknifeworks
All right, man, we're done.
01:13:17
echo_blades
All right. Yeah.
01:13:18
tyrellknifeworks
I gotta go to bed.

ah You probably will.
01:13:40
echo_blades
And that's a wrap.
