echo_blades
Dude. All right, guys. There's probably a couple things I really enjoy in this world, but our pre-freaking
00:00:44
Denis Tyrell
Harassing me is definitely one of them.
00:00:48
echo_blades
the countdown to the show start on Dennis's intros are my fucking favorite thing ever.
00:00:53
Denis Tyrell
could you like to torment me?
00:00:54
echo_blades
I do. ah just got to do a couple of like facial gestures and this guy just falls apart.
00:01:00
Denis Tyrell
I'm going to start...
00:01:00
echo_blades
He comes with a who
00:01:04
Denis Tyrell
I'm going to start doing that.
00:01:08
echo_blades
Oh my God.

Denis Tyrell
It's going good. It's going good.
00:01:17
echo_blades
Good.
00:01:17
Denis Tyrell
You know, i'm getting shit done. I can't believe it's middle of July already. Time is a ticking, but, you know, life goes on.
00:01:26
echo_blades
Yeah, dude. I just got this amazing notification from my phone that said it's going to be 11 degrees cooler tomorrow and it's still 91.
00:01:34
Denis Tyrell
I know.
00:01:38
echo_blades
I was like, oh, that's a bummer.
00:01:41
Denis Tyrell
Well, you live in the barren wasteland
00:01:44
echo_blades
I can't.
00:01:44
Denis Tyrell
20 minutes north of me that it's fucking hot as hell.
00:01:47
echo_blades
I can't. I can't imagine. It's still. Yeah, it's crazy how much. Five, six, seven, whatever degrees makes because like a low 90s day for you.
00:01:58
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:02:02
echo_blades
Is, you know, almost 100 here.
00:02:04
Denis Tyrell
100 for you.
00:02:04
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:02:05
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:02:05
echo_blades
And that's a big difference.
00:02:06
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, it's going to be like, what, like 82 here tomorrow?
00:02:07
echo_blades
But.
00:02:11
echo_blades
Oh, see, that's perfect.
00:02:11
Denis Tyrell
It's going nice.
00:02:12
echo_blades
Yeah. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that.
00:02:14
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. No.
Forging Plans and Military Challenge
00:02:16
Denis Tyrell
I'm going to be forging most of the day tomorrow, so I want it to be a little cool. right Justin Wilson's coming over tomorrow, and we're going to take the first shot at the Brass Mai. This is going to be a test run um of the Brass Mai I'm going to do for the military challenge, but we're doing a little test run to see if it sticks and it works, and
00:02:45
Denis Tyrell
You know, hopefully I'll come out with a billet for something else. And then I'll know it works for the sword before I mess up all that Damascus.
00:02:54
echo_blades
Yeah, that's good, man.
00:02:54
Denis Tyrell
But.
00:02:54
echo_blades
I'm happy you guys are going to get together. he was We were messaging not too long ago, and he was asking about that. So that's cool.
00:03:04
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, it was supposed to be with Gabe Keeling too, but he's crazy busy. Lots of kids and job.
00:03:12
Denis Tyrell
Busy job stuff and so. Yeah, he can't. He's going to push it off a week or so, but he and I will get together at some point.
00:03:12
echo_blades
Oh, nice.
00:03:21
echo_blades
Hey, what was the word that you used when you were describing the um the Damascus a pattern after you came back from Morocco's?
00:03:35
Denis Tyrell
What do you mean to what I was using?
00:03:37
echo_blades
The word like there was some way you were described gradient, but it was like some, it was another ah man.
00:03:39
Denis Tyrell
Gradient?
00:03:46
echo_blades
I can't think of it.
00:03:47
Denis Tyrell
Anti-aliasing? I was using that to explain it to people, but...
00:03:49
echo_blades
No.
00:03:52
echo_blades
Nah, it's like that fiber-ish looking deal.
00:03:56
Denis Tyrell
Oh, you mean a fractal?
00:03:59
echo_blades
Fractal.
00:04:00
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, well, that's kind of...
00:04:00
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:04:02
Denis Tyrell
That's a pattern that I want to do. It's not really... That's what he and I had discussed, making this kind of fractal pattern Damascus. Which is still on my list to do. It's probably going to be something I try in the winter.
00:04:15
echo_blades
Okay, yeah. I guess the gradient is what it is. Anyways, yeah, well, Justin sent me a picture of some billet that he was working on that had that had that vibe those look pretty cool so um
00:04:27
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, that's going to be a complicated one. I haven't quite
Work-Life Balance and Finding Peace
00:04:31
Denis Tyrell
wrapped my head around what I'm going to do for that.
00:04:32
echo_blades
yeah yeah I just googled fractal yeah that looks that looks cool but anyways yeah well that that sounds like a good time I'll just be at work I mean fuck it yeah I'll just be talking uh fire sprinklers actually I'll be at home work from home tomorrow

00:05:09
Denis Tyrell

00:05:10
echo_blades
So I guess I love talking because I do it so much.
00:05:11
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:05:14
Denis Tyrell
but You do love talking. Everyone that knows you knows that you love talking.
00:05:18
echo_blades
ah I just don't like hearing people. You guys fucking annoy me. So if I feel the air, then I got listen to your bullshit.
00:05:26
Denis Tyrell
oh So how's your week been?
00:05:30
echo_blades
My week just started. Yeah.
00:05:33
Denis Tyrell
Last week, dumbass.
00:05:34
echo_blades
Oh, shit. My bad. Jeez. Thank you. Thank you. Last week was a drag, man. Last week was a drag. I had had a busy week at work and my extracurricular work activities had me ah had some late nights.
00:05:51
echo_blades
It's been a while since I've had ah and to do that. And that's...
00:05:55
Denis Tyrell
You mean work-wise?
00:05:55
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:05:56
Denis Tyrell
You had to work late.
00:05:57
echo_blades
yeah Work.
00:05:58
Denis Tyrell
Ah.
00:05:59
echo_blades
Yeah. I do more.
00:05:59
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:06:00
echo_blades
Yeah. Anyways, long story short. Go too much into that. But yeah. I'm a busy guy. A lot things going on. So every now and again, though, you get in a spot where there's no other option but to to dig down and and grind through that stuff and have been...
00:06:07
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:06:19
echo_blades
for a good chunk of last week. So that was a bummer. Um, but that was, that was it. That was pretty chill. I hadd a great, I had a great weekend.
00:06:29
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:06:30
echo_blades
Yeah. So I, golfed on Saturday and, um, my son didn't want to go. So there was a single shot, a slot open at this course that I like to go out in Stockton.
00:06:43
echo_blades
Um, and,
00:06:44
Denis Tyrell
Stockton.
00:06:46
echo_blades
Yeah, it's a nice course, though, dude.
00:06:47
Denis Tyrell
All right.
00:06:48
echo_blades
I'd rather go i'd rather drive 45 minutes out there than than golf here locally. and I enjoy the course that much. um But neither nevertheless, right? So if you're going to go out with some randoms, if you're going to solo, you you know you take the chance of getting paired up with... yeah I'm either going to ruin their time or they're going to ruin mine, right?
00:07:12
echo_blades
right that Or everything goes great like it normally does. But there's always that chance. like If you go in with three buddies, you may not want some straggler stranger dude that you don't know coming in and fucking your stuff up.
00:07:23
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:07:24
echo_blades
But the good part is if you're going out, the the only available tee time was 5.50 a.m. Yeah.
00:07:31
Denis Tyrell
that's That's your jam.
00:07:32
echo_blades
yeah So people that want to golf, they want to just get the golf done. That's the people that are...
00:07:36
Denis Tyrell
So those are serious.
00:07:38
echo_blades
Yeah, yeah those are the guys...
00:07:38
Denis Tyrell
These are like the serious.
00:07:39
echo_blades
Yeah, we're you're you're trying to get your round in and out and have have the rest of your day. So that kind of limits the knuckleheadness. But anyways, I show up, check in.
00:07:51
echo_blades
um i go out and I'm getting ready to tee off. And um the three guys never showed up. I don't know who they are, but they never showed up. So I had a group in front of me, a full group in front of me and a full group behind me.
00:08:03
echo_blades
And I had a solo round early morning by myself.
00:08:06
Denis Tyrell
by yourself.
00:08:08
echo_blades
it was the most peaceful, enjoyable, serene time that I've had yeah on the tail end of that shitty week that I had to just, you know, at first I was kind of like a little anxious, like, well, am I, am I really by myself?
00:08:24
echo_blades
So when you, if you do that though, because you're waiting on three people in front of you, you play, I played my ball and then kept, kept a legit score. But if I didn't do something, I liked, i had some time to practice and take some stuff. So,
00:08:38
echo_blades
It was pretty cool, man. Birds chirping, beautiful weather. It was like 62 at that time in the morning. Like it was just perfect, man. Super
Passion and Motivation in Knifemaking
00:08:46
echo_blades
enjoyable.
00:08:46
Denis Tyrell
Something about going out alone. Like I love going hunting alone and you get out there and it's before dawn and there's not a sound and you're basically sitting there and you start to hear birds. You start to hear everything come alive.
00:09:04
Denis Tyrell
That is my favorite part of hunting is that morning when the sun breaks and everything starts to come alive. And even if you don't see anything, that part's awesome.
00:09:11
echo_blades
Yeah. Oh, I just got the chills, Dennis. That was wow. Yeah. I'm serious. Like I'm, I'm totally into that. Like, I think there's a, a point in our lives.
00:09:24
echo_blades
um Maybe not you cause you retired and you don't do shit, but when you used to work and, but you know, you get so busy in the, in the grind, especially here and where we live in the Bay area.
00:09:26
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:09:34
echo_blades
Right. it It is a fast moving hustle. i mean, in the industry I'm in, like it's, it's just,
00:09:38
Denis Tyrell
yeah
00:09:41
echo_blades
always nonstop, like just high stress, high pressure. Um, you don't, even when I'm driving home, like you're in traffic, right. And you just forget to like, look up like every now and again, i have to remind myself to like, look up and like, look at the sky, like, like take in the scenery like just kind of try to decompress, but you get those opportunities and, and,
00:10:05
echo_blades
in an overwhelming dose, there's a rush of dopamine when you're, when when that happens, man.
00:10:08
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:10:10
echo_blades
And it was really cool. It was so cool that I wasn't even sure I wanted to talk about this. Right. But i and I, and I feel like a broken record here every now and again, talking about, you know, struggling with balance of, you know, trying to find time to make and, um and the motivation at times.
00:10:30
echo_blades
But this was the first time this has happened since I started making, Um, I'm enjoying golf. That's, that's one thing too. And in my neurodivergent mind, I'm, I'm a little obsessive about whatever is shiny at the moment. Right.
00:10:44
echo_blades
So, um, but you can't, I can't do it every day. Um, but during that, somewhere during that round, had this thought, like I said, that had never crossed my mind and it was, i think I don't want to make knives anymore.
00:11:02
Denis Tyrell
No, boo.
00:11:04
echo_blades
boo Yeah. And i was like, maybe this, maybe this is, yeah, maybe this is, maybe I'm done. Maybe it's ran its course. And, and just to kind of cut all the drama, cause that's not what I'm trying to do here. Right.
00:11:18
echo_blades
But I don't feel that way for real. I don't want to do that, but,
00:11:23
Denis Tyrell
I almost had your stainless Damascus sold to somebody else there for a second.
00:11:28
echo_blades
Yeah. No, I seriously, that's not, it's not, it's really nothing that I'm, I'm actually entertaining or considering, but it was the very first time that that has ever crossed my mind. Number one. And I just had a, like a little moment where I entertained it and, uh, and it was, it was all right for, for a minute.
00:11:50
echo_blades
And, I'm curious if anybody else has ever had ah moment like that.
00:11:50
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, well...
00:11:54
echo_blades
I know we've all struggled with motivation. I know we all struggle with you know, the, the create, the, having that creative out or creative mojo to like, you know, do something shit gets repetitive. Um, you know, you have a block of some kind, but, um, this was, it was a new, it was a new thing.
00:12:13
echo_blades
And like i said, man, I don't, I don't really feel that way. Um, there's too many, too many, too many good things that this has brought into my life that I'm, I'm not really considering cashing in, but,
00:12:25
Denis Tyrell
I think it I got to think everyone goes through little, at least little phases of, you know, do I, especially if this is like hobby, right?
00:12:36
Denis Tyrell
For you, it's a hobby.
00:12:37
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:12:37
echo_blades
I think that has to be, and thank you for pointing that think that's a very, very, very important part.
00:12:43
Denis Tyrell
yeah I mean, even the guys that do this, like, you know, I wouldn't say as a main gig, but do it on the side, but do it for,
00:12:53
echo_blades
Monetary.
00:12:53
Denis Tyrell
money. Like I'm thinking of like Coakley, Ryan and Brent and these guys, it's, you know, it's a major, it's a major part, you know, they make, they make decent cash from it.
00:12:59
echo_blades
Mm-hmm.
00:13:05
Denis Tyrell
and And it's, you know, probably something they, they rely on.
00:13:05
echo_blades
Mm-hmm.
00:13:10
Denis Tyrell
I'm sure, I'm sure everyone goes through and have I am back my mind. I'm thinking all the guys doing batch work, like they must hate life every once in a while. Like, you know, looking at like 20 knives to, uh,
00:13:18
echo_blades
I was going to say that too, but...
00:13:23
Denis Tyrell
um to hand sand or whatever. And actually, i was i was actually listening to WFI today, and I haven't um i actually listened to that in a while. And I caught Cone talking about his plan, where he's actually switched away from doing the large batches.
00:13:43
Denis Tyrell
and he'll heat treat a bunch of knives. And I think this is a great idea. He'll heat treat a bunch of knives. but then does them two at a time. Finishes two knives to completion before he goes and does the other ones.
00:13:56
Denis Tyrell
Because it was just so, you know, it was such a mountain to climb and to look at all those knives, you know, and to know that he has to do, you know, an entire day or two of grinding bevels or something like that.
00:14:13
Denis Tyrell
And instead he finishes two knives every... two days or whatever it was. But, um, you know, I, I think a lot of people go through this, you know, I won't call it love hate relationship, but you know, like any hobby.
00:14:28
echo_blades
no Yeah, I know. It's not always all in. I mean, when it's when it's in
Creative Blocks and Shifting Interests
00:14:33
echo_blades
and you're in it, it's, like I said, there's, it's, it's yeah, it's provided an overwhelming amount of good in my life.
00:14:43
echo_blades
and And I don't, I'm not trying to say that that's not happening anymore now, but, you know, it is a little discouraging because, you know, not everybody's gig is the same too, right? You got...
00:14:53
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:14:55
echo_blades
I got to barking dog. Sorry. ah
00:14:57
Denis Tyrell
ye His gig's not the same.
00:14:58
echo_blades
Not everybody has, has the time. Like I, sometimes I get, okay. Irritated, resentful, and it's not valid. Right. But when I see people turning over large volume quickly.
00:15:15
echo_blades
Right. But again, i i equate their output to my, the amount of time that I can put in. And that's not apples to apples. That doesn't, that doesn't equate.
00:15:25
Denis Tyrell
sure
00:15:26
echo_blades
Right. So a guy that is in his shop eight hours a day, of course he's going to put out more, right. A guy that gets two hours or one hour a night or two hours a week, right. they're The output's going to be slower. Right.
00:15:38
echo_blades
But it's, I mean, you know, it's just, like I said, million things to, to consider. And, and I'm just the in my head kind of guy all the time anyways. Right. So.
00:15:49
Denis Tyrell
So let me ask you this. is it... is it You know, if there was something like when when I get, you know, call it down in the dumps or whatever you want to refer to that mentality, I'll just I'm going to put that aside and I'm going to work on something knife related, but work on something that really interests me, like something I'm excited about.
00:16:15
Denis Tyrell
And if I'm not excited about it, i don't have that desire to get in the shop. So I'll switch it up to something else that I'm interested in. You know, like, is that you think it's something like that?
00:16:28
Denis Tyrell
Or
00:16:29
echo_blades
Well, I think, I think that, that exact ideal got me into the position that I'm currently in right now where, I've done that too many times. You know, that's where the whole term came about, you know, the, the, the Jerry trash, but, uh, the, uh, but I think that's kind of what I did was, you know, did a bunch of things that I enjoyed doing to a point to where now it's like, you know, I gotta, I gotta get through all that crap again, man. And don't want to sound like I'm bitching or whining, but it's, it is just, uh, the thought of me starting something new right now,
00:17:06
echo_blades
I just, it doesn't, doesn't sit well with me. I literally have probably 20 plus things just in all different, you know, that are that I've had time in, not like I've just fucked around and, and profiled something.
00:17:17
Denis Tyrell
Sure.
00:17:22
echo_blades
But, um, so I gotta have billets up the ass that we've made, you know, cause I love making Damascus. I love you know, every time I get an opportunity to forge something, I'm going to go do that. Right. So there's 10 forged various stage knives. There's things that are so close to being finished that it's embarrassing that they're not done.
00:17:40
echo_blades
But, um, So, yeah, I think that that is, you know, for somebody, I think that is a perfect answer to kind of get through the the low spot of motivation. But, yeah.
Therapeutic Insights and Humor
00:17:53
echo_blades
You know, rounding it around ended out, like said, it was just it was it was weird. And and there's a term in recovery that we call world that that I use a lot. um That has always resonated with me is that you're only sick as your secrets.
00:18:06
echo_blades
So.
00:18:07
Denis Tyrell
I've never heard heard you say that one.
00:18:09
echo_blades
Yeah. If you're, if I'm going to have a thought and I'm going entertain it, especially if you were to apply that to like me thinking about drinking beer or something like that. Right.
00:18:20

That's a dangerous thing for me to keep inside my head and kind of obsess. And, you know, cause the, Chances are I'm going to build on that and that desire is going to grow and all that crap like that. So I apply that to all areas of my life. And, you know, there's that oversharing that comes of that. But I'm not afraid to to to say that kind of stuff. So when I have a thought like that, it's like I tell people.
00:18:47
echo_blades
you know and i get the, the power goes out of it and it's no longer like a dirty secret.
00:18:47
Denis Tyrell

00:19:47
echo_blades
Let me know. and Okay. I know that, but speaking of, I got a funny ass, uh, uh, I, uh, I started doing, uh, some reels just, I think like I was golfing one day and I was walking the dogs and, um, not reels, uh, stories on, on IG.
00:20:06
Denis Tyrell

00:20:08
echo_blades
And, so I was, I was walking the dog the other day and, bring them hit me back. And, uh, he was like, Even your dog has a Canadian vest because our little dude dashes in Milo when he was with us.
00:20:25
echo_blades
They're always in, we call them jammies, but like if they, if I see them without them, like they, they look naked to me. Right. So there it's, I used to hate it.
00:20:33
Denis Tyrell
Even in the summer, you put coats on your dog?
00:20:35
echo_blades
Not coats. They're just, they're jammies. They're clothes, not coats.
00:20:39
Denis Tyrell
They're clothes. You put clothes on your dog and it...
00:20:42
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:20:44
Denis Tyrell
Man, that's weird.
00:20:46
echo_blades

00:21:02
echo_blades

00:21:39
Denis Tyrell
All right.
00:21:40
echo_blades

00:21:43

Denis Tyrell
He was asking, he pays for ChatGBT, like the the monthly thing, and he was asking it to do stuff, and it was telling him, oh, well, I can do this, and I can i can do that.
00:22:38
Denis Tyrell
And afterwards, he's like, well, you were split. You were going to send me this. You were going to, you know, and then chat GPT basically says to him, oh, yeah, I can't do that. And he goes, but you told me you could do that. And he goes, are you saying you lied? and and he basically said, well, yeah, I was trying to make you happy or something like you got to listen to his.
00:22:59
echo_blades
Wow.
00:22:59
Denis Tyrell
Oh, yeah. Like chat GPT was actually telling him stuff that. He wanted to know, like he wanted to hear But it wasn't like, oh i can create I can create a plugin for you and I can do this, but it really couldn't.
00:23:10
echo_blades
It couldn't go through.
00:23:14
echo_blades
Oh, my God.
00:23:15
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, it was it was bizarre.
00:23:20
Denis Tyrell
So, yeah, Toby, that's crazy.
00:23:24
Denis Tyrell
i was...
00:23:24
echo_blades
And I haven't listened to any podcasts in um in a while.
00:23:28
echo_blades
So it's not, it's not, I don't listen to Toby because I do every now and again, but don't know. How do you listen to a guy who tries to sharpen a knife with the wheel going the wrong way?
00:23:37
Denis Tyrell
but that's That's what I sent him. I'm like, dude, aren't you supposed to sharpen that with the wheel going away from the knife? And he's like, no, no, that's the way Tormek does it. And i'm like, well, that's fucking weird.
00:23:49
echo_blades
I don't know. It looked a little sketch to me and I can't, yeah.
00:23:51
Denis Tyrell
It looked very sketch.
00:23:53
echo_blades
Yeah. But yeah, that thing that thing popped right back at him.
00:23:55
Denis Tyrell
maybe yeah It looks scary as shit. I wouldn't be sharpening a knife like that.
00:24:01
echo_blades
Yeah. But he then he showed how cool it is to true up the stone. was so awesome.
00:24:06
Denis Tyrell
i I think he was reading the American instructions and he got confused.
00:24:11
echo_blades
you thought he was in Australia where the water goes?
00:24:12
Denis Tyrell
but Yeah, right.
00:24:13
echo_blades
good Yeah.
00:24:17
Denis Tyrell
ah he he He didn't read the Northern Hemisphere instructions where the the wheel goes the proper way.
00:24:21
echo_blades
Yeah. He's on the wrong side of it. Yeah.
00:24:24
Denis Tyrell
but
00:24:27
echo_blades
ah Wrong side of the equator there, buddy.
00:24:32
echo_blades
Oh, man.
00:24:33
Denis Tyrell
But speaking of podcasts, we were Hustle and Grind. It'll be actually coming out this week, right? That was fun time with those knuckleheads.
00:24:40
echo_blades

Denis Tyrell
That's right.
00:24:46
echo_blades
I'm sorry for you guys.
00:24:47
Denis Tyrell
And I got even worse news. I think it's going to be a triple dose because I'm going to be on Knife Perspective with Kyle.
00:24:54
echo_blades
Oh, Lord.
00:24:55
Denis Tyrell
But I don't know when that's coming out. We're recording tomorrow, which is like today when you you guys hear this. But I don't know when he actually...
00:25:06
Denis Tyrell
When he actually puts that out.
00:25:06
echo_blades
Releases.
00:25:07
Denis Tyrell
I'm not sure.
00:25:07
echo_blades
Yeah. Mine either.
00:25:09
Denis Tyrell
But, yeah, we'll be talking about the...
00:25:10
echo_blades
Huh.
00:25:13
Denis Tyrell
Mostly I think about the hammer-in and I think it's going to be some, uh, he wants to do like a, one of those background and interviews on me because of the, the hammer-in thing at, uh, Midwest Nightmakers.
00:25:25
echo_blades
He wants to put you on the couch.
00:25:26
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, exactly. Uh,
00:25:30
echo_blades
Get your pillows out people.
00:25:31
Denis Tyrell
uh, yeah. Yeah. But um I was thinking about it today. I was i was um ah had Parker in the shop today. we were making sharpening attachments.
00:25:45
Denis Tyrell
and And I thought, you know, I really love hanging around with this kid. and And I looked up the prices for flights to Minneapolis. I'm like, all right, I'm going to take the kid.
Teaching Independence in Knifemaking
00:25:59
Denis Tyrell
So, yeah, so, of course, I asked him. And he's like, yeah, of course, I'm going to go. So, yeah, he's going to be coming to the Hammerin and to the ten North Star Forge, which haven't actually told them and asked them, but he's coming.
00:25:59
echo_blades
Nice.
00:26:14
Denis Tyrell
um You know, it's not like another hotel room or anything. so But, um yeah, he's going to be my helper for the Hammerin and for the the course afterwards.
00:26:26
echo_blades
Nice.
00:26:26
Denis Tyrell
But I'm really enjoying having him in the shop. And now that he's he's making knives...
00:26:30
echo_blades
That's cool, man.
00:26:32
Denis Tyrell
And, um you know, I'm, I basically, want him to, he's on like his, like third knife, like, you know, since he really restarted.
00:26:44
Denis Tyrell
And I really want him to now do every step by yourself.
00:26:49
echo_blades
Right.
00:26:49
Denis Tyrell
Right? Like you're on your own. I might say, you know, and I sent him my little PDF of like the steps to do a, full tang knife. And I'm like, follow the steps.
00:27:02
Denis Tyrell
You know what to do. Let's see you do it kind of thing. Yeah.
00:27:06
echo_blades
No, I think that's important because, you know, I think yeah we all kind of know, you know, that though, that there's going to be some assistance there. Right. And that's great. That's great to have.
00:27:18
echo_blades
um But there's no substitute for getting in and just doing it. Right.
00:27:25
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:27:25
echo_blades
And finding out where you, where you're really at and, you know, what happens, you know?
00:27:26
Denis Tyrell
yeah
00:27:29
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. And it's got to get to a point where, you know, he's not asking me a million questions and annoying the shit of me when he's in the shop.
00:27:31
echo_blades
So,
00:27:37
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:27:39
echo_blades
Yeah. That's cute for a while, right? Yeah.
00:27:42
Denis Tyrell
for
00:27:42
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:27:43
Denis Tyrell
And I can actually get work done while he's also making a knife. So that's got to happen.
00:27:47
echo_blades
Yeah,
00:27:48
Denis Tyrell
But yeah, looking forward to that. So yeah, next month he will be coming with me.
00:27:53
echo_blades
yeah that's cool, man. I think that's not to gloss over that, man, but I think it's an awesome... opportunity that you guys have to kind of strengthen, i don't know, strengthen, but you know, just to further, you know, the relationship and enjoy the time and to have a common interest. and you know, there's many, many, many examples of, of family members that, you know, do their own thing and aren't, aren't into the same stuff.
00:28:19
echo_blades
So that's a, that's an ah awesome thing to capitalize. And I'm, I'm happy for both of you because that's pretty cool.
00:28:24
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, and and not to get all nostalgic, but when he was, you know, Parker was a bit of a, he was a tough kid, as in, you know, he he was he was a bit of a bad kid when, you know, he didn't pay attention to school, he'd had major injuries,
00:28:28
echo_blades
You don't, it's all right too. It's okay too.
00:28:48
Denis Tyrell
ADHD, he's always fought with that. like I remember times when it's like he and I would butt heads a lot just because you know he was and it's both of us.
00:28:59
Denis Tyrell
i mean i know who I know who he gets it from too.
00:28:59
echo_blades
Sure.
00:29:02
Denis Tyrell
and But now it's so different. like um I feel like we're so chilled together. We can hang out and make stuff. and yeah It's really nice.
00:29:13
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:29:13
echo_blades
Yeah. Well, he's growing up too, man. So he's coming into his own and yeah, he's not an annoying little shit to be around.
00:29:16
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. yeah
00:29:19
echo_blades
He's, he's, he's decent dude.
00:29:19
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, he's he's an adult now, and yeah, it's crazy.
00:29:24
echo_blades
Yeah. That's cool.
00:29:25
Denis Tyrell
So, and would you say Jared just turned 17, right? 17. seventeen right
00:29:29
echo_blades
You just turned 17. Yeah.
00:29:30
Denis Tyrell
seventeen
00:29:30
echo_blades
I just posted a, a thing on Facebook of us golfing 2017.
00:29:38
echo_blades
And I think that he was, Oh yeah, he was about eight. It was, yeah. Whoever that math works. Um,
00:29:48
echo_blades
And then I posted the one where we just golfed that tournament the last couple of weeks back. Um, and that's probably cause he has zero desire to come out in the shop and I have zero desire to press that upon him.
00:30:02
echo_blades
So, um, but we have that to do together and, and I enjoy it, you know, so I'm with you.
00:30:02
Denis Tyrell
true
00:30:11
Denis Tyrell
yep yeah but uh he also got his first chance at um using the new grinder today so parker
00:30:11
echo_blades
That's cool.
00:30:21
echo_blades
Which one is that?
00:30:22
Denis Tyrell
That is the Ameribrade Fastback 2x72 grinder, of course. ah So Parker got to play with that today, and he was very impressed. And, you know, it's it's got the 7-inch drive wheel, which my old grinder didn't.
00:30:32
echo_blades
Nice.
00:30:36
Denis Tyrell
And he turned that thing on, and they've got their VFD set. So it kind of, you know, it it doesn't, like, come on full bore, right? It kind of, you know, comes up, ramps up.
00:30:45
echo_blades
Ramps up.
00:30:48
Denis Tyrell
And it ramps up and that thing is just, he's got it on like, you know, 10. And that thing is just screaming and he looks at me and he goes, man, it sounds way faster.
00:30:57
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:30:57
Denis Tyrell
I'm like, yeah, don't don't get your fingers.
00:31:00
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:31:02
Denis Tyrell
But um yeah, he, cause he, he did one of the things he, yeah, yeah.
00:31:06
echo_blades
At any speed, Parker. Get your fingers in it at any speed.
00:31:09
Denis Tyrell
yeah But he does some of the rounding of the attachments and some of the grinding that we do on those. And yeah. But he loved it.
00:31:18
echo_blades
Cool.
00:31:19
Denis Tyrell
He loved it. Said it was great grinder to use.
00:31:20
echo_blades
um Nice.
00:31:23
Denis Tyrell
Also had all my students, both my students, I should say, using that grinder. And they loved it too. And they're all having grind grinder envy. So if you need a grinder, head over to Ameribrain and get yourself Fastback 2x72.com.
00:31:40
Denis Tyrell
With all of the goodies that they got, surface grinding attachment is awesome. The rotary platen, which we used during the course because um it was a chef knife course. And I'll talk a little more about that in a minute.
00:31:55
Denis Tyrell
um We used the rotary attachment. And while you're there, go take a look at the HyperDisc and see if that little piece of magic is something you want to get.
00:32:05
Denis Tyrell
And I know Jared's got one.
00:32:05
echo_blades
It is a sweet piece of magic.
00:32:06
echo_blades
I have one and every opportunity I get, ah use it because it's fantastic.
00:32:11
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Yeah. And those guys are awesome. They're somewhat local to us here in California. So support the local guys. um But go check out Ameribraid. Kevin and Eric are awesome to deal with.
00:32:27
Denis Tyrell
So yeah, go get one.
00:32:30
echo_blades
Yep. Do it.
00:32:33
Denis Tyrell
um Since we're doing ads here, i also want to mention Baker Forge and Tool, because I did reach out to Koi about doing the the brass my. gave me some tips, so we're going to put those...
00:32:49
Denis Tyrell
put those to the test tomorrow, um, with the brass, my, that we're going to attempt.
Knife Crafting Challenges and Success
00:32:55
Denis Tyrell
Um, sorry. Yeah. Brass, my, sorry. He coiling does the bronze, my, cause the brass is troublesome because of the zinc content, which is why I'm going with a different alloy.
00:33:06
Denis Tyrell
So, uh, you guys will see this in a video one way or another. Um, I don't know if I'm going to, I'll probably, I probably will video it tomorrow.
00:33:12
echo_blades
Good or bad? and
00:33:15
Denis Tyrell
And, um, and Just as a triple T or something like that and show the the brass might.
00:33:20
echo_blades

That's right, but um this past few days it was what Thursday, Friday, Saturday, I was teaching a three-day course. I had two guys come for the course.
00:35:13
Denis Tyrell
Jeff and Dan come for that course. They wanted to do... It was funny because they each, totally like months apart, um wanted... Jeff wanted to... He booked it first and wanted to do Kumai chef knife class.
00:35:29
Denis Tyrell
And then month ago, Dan reaches out to me and says, I wanna do Kumai chef knife class. I'm like, well, and so I was able to group them together.
00:35:41
echo_blades
That's cool.
00:35:41
Denis Tyrell
But we started, we made, I'm trying to think it was like, i don't know, 30 or some layers or a little more, 30 layers alternating.
00:35:54
Denis Tyrell
1084 copper 15 and 20 copper, 1084 copper 15 and 20 copper. And we did that for like 30 layers and that we forged that down into our cladding. And then,
00:36:05
Denis Tyrell
used i didn't actually have the core that i needed um because ups i don't know was taken forever uh to get my steel delivered and wasn't it wasn't uh lawrence's fault because uh he had sent it i don't know what ups did with it routed it through alaska or something
00:36:26
echo_blades
Every now and again, they'll get you to that point where it's like estimated time of delivery. And then they delayed, delayed, delayed, delayed.
00:36:31
Denis Tyrell
was like it was like plus three days
00:36:33
echo_blades
Yeah. Yeah.
00:36:35
Denis Tyrell
it was so annoying so i needed some two inch wide stock and i didn't have any and i actually in my drawer for these guys i'm like look we're i'm just going to reach it we're going to use i had some 60 layer damascus that had already forged and i said look we're just going to use this and they were cool with that so we used that as the core but it came out really i love their knives came out really really good they I did the little video of them holding the knives, but I didn't actually get close-up pics, so I need them to send them to send me some close-up pics of the knives, and I'll post those on Instagram. But they came out really good.
00:37:11
echo_blades
nice
00:37:11
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. And I gotta say, Jeff's my age, a couple years older than me. Dan, both of these guys are on my Patreon. Dan 78 years And...
00:37:24
echo_blades
Yeah, it's still, still, yeah. I wouldn't have guessed that.

Cause we're going to buff it off and we did coffee, but, uh, we went for dinner and, uh, we were back and we were done, done, done at like 8 PM Saturday night.

00:40:04
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:40:06
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. i'm it I didn't get it super dark, but I actually... It matches the handle perfectly. And you'll when you see it, you'll you'll understand what I mean. and Because the handle is like a ghost kind of gray.
00:40:06
echo_blades
I love that.
00:40:19
Denis Tyrell
And I didn't go like dark, dark on the um on it like sometimes you you do on the stainless semis. um But you definitely see like the silvery line and the ghosting kind of of the carbon migration.
00:40:34
echo_blades
yeah that that is some sexy stuff dude I've seen some really really cool ones
00:40:34
Denis Tyrell

Oh, it's a Cobb. Or not Cobb. um the The field there. What's it called? Brave Stadium.
00:43:10
echo_blades

00:43:13
Denis Tyrell
You're not telling me.
00:43:14
echo_blades

00:43:17
Denis Tyrell

Truist Dave.
00:43:21
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, that's what we said. The Brave Stadium. Who cares what it's called?
00:43:23
echo_blades
I know. Yeah. I was just testing you, bro. I just want everybody to know that you're a square booty that doesn't like sports.
00:43:29
Denis Tyrell
and I just don't like baseball.
00:43:30
echo_blades
But yeah, no, that, yeah, it's cool. I was just watching the Home Run Derby ah highlights here while we're recording because I'm professional. But yeah.
00:43:40
Denis Tyrell
but
00:43:41
echo_blades
I'm still bummed that I didn't. So we had an opportunity, like Dennis and I come in Parker too. We come in a day earlier than we have the the first couple years. We learned our lesson and we come in on the red eye and every year though, it's actually been the A's are either like leaving when we get there or they're coming into town when we're leaving.
00:44:08
echo_blades
So um I've never had the opportunity to to put that together. But there was a day game on that Thursday that we were there. And you guys had, I don't know we split up for some reason. I think I was going to, my tent was to go get something to eat and take a nap.
00:44:23
echo_blades
And then I found out that there was a day game there. And I was so close to going. And i'm today um i regret it. But the the reality is is that I went and ate some food and slept for like four hours and that was probably more important to get some rest that day then.
00:44:38
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:44:39
echo_blades
But, uh, still a little bum, little bit of regret for not going, but, uh, yeah,
00:44:43
Denis Tyrell
That's where we had dinner Friday night was right outside of the Brave Stadium.
00:44:47
echo_blades
it's like called the battery or something like that. I think that's the name of that little, uh, the down, the, all that spot, but
00:44:49
Denis Tyrell
yeah
00:44:53
Denis Tyrell
Yes. um Yeah, we went to some barbecue place like like really right on underneath like the Braves logo thing in front of the stadium.
00:45:00
echo_blades
nice. Cool.
00:45:02
Denis Tyrell
So, yeah. What else was I going to say? um
00:45:09
echo_blades
No, it wasn't important. It wasn't baseball.
00:45:11
Denis Tyrell
and it definitely was not baseball baseball is boring you know what's not boring shopping at maritime knife supply yeah i'm i'm starting order number four and the last seriously i've like
00:45:14
echo_blades

00:45:42
Denis Tyrell
And then I'm like, shit, I forgot to get um copper bar stock for guards because I'm doing that kumai thing, and I think I'm going to put a copper guard on it.

00:46:19
Denis Tyrell
my surface conditioning belt was so used.
00:46:23
Denis Tyrell
It was like, i I probably should have turned it over and used the backside and it would have done more.
00:46:23
echo_blades

echo_blades
Yep, for sure.
00:54:43
echo_blades
Don't be waiting. Just fucking, we got to get Brent to get his shit together and figure it out.
00:54:46
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Right. i Toby was saying on the, speaking of coming here, Toby was saying on the podcast that he was looking at booking flights. I'm like, it's like a year and a half away. What are you doing?
00:55:00
echo_blades
God bless his slow little mind.
00:55:01
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:55:05
Denis Tyrell
And I'm like, he was thinking, I'm like, don't bug your flight from Atlanta to California.
00:55:10
echo_blades
Hey, I want to clear this up. I think we've already done this, but I feel like I need to defend myself. Now, whether you're going to go to Dennis's house or out here, there, there are multiple options for airports.
00:55:24
echo_blades
Okay.
00:55:25
Denis Tyrell
um Okay.
00:55:25
echo_blades
And i just, i landed coming back from Florida on Friday afternoon at like four o'clock. And it took me three and a half hours to get home.
00:55:38
echo_blades
So from sfo
00:55:38
Denis Tyrell
From.
00:55:41
Denis Tyrell
Well, you're busy Friday.
00:55:42
echo_blades
That's what i'm saying. So it depending upon where when you're flying in here in the Bay Area, then there is alternate options that are farther in distance but could be literally half the time.
00:55:43
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
00:55:57
echo_blades
So that's my recommendation for the other.
00:55:58
Denis Tyrell
but Right, but three hours is like extreme.
00:56:03
Denis Tyrell
Like, oh, yeah this is to your house.
00:56:03
echo_blades
That is an every Friday.
00:56:05
echo_blades
That's pretty option.
00:56:07
Denis Tyrell
To your house, not to my house. Yeah, to your house. Because that's like, it could be, if you,
00:56:11
echo_blades
it would be two. It would be two plus from, from any time you leave in SFO in rush hour for sure.
00:56:13
Denis Tyrell
yeah
00:56:17
Denis Tyrell
Yes, I agree. Yeah, it's like, because then you hit like, I'm not going to go into all the roads here, but like from my house to Jared's house, if it's bad traffic, it can be a fucking nightmare.
00:56:19
echo_blades
Yeah. But
00:56:28
echo_blades
yeah, it takes me about 40 minutes if there's shitty thing. If from, from my house to where you are in the morning, but it's yeah.
00:56:37
Denis Tyrell
but coming home on a Friday could be way worse. Yeah.
00:56:41
echo_blades
I'm just saying from your house to my house, it can be 40 minutes versus 20.
00:56:46
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:56:47
echo_blades
At any rate, that's the whole reason for that thing. That's why I said I'm not going to argue with you on whatever we were talking about. was like, okay.
00:56:54
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:56:55
echo_blades
But that was the reason.
00:56:55
Denis Tyrell
I, I heard the, I heard the, okay.
00:56:58
echo_blades
Yeah. Got it. Oh, man.
00:57:01
Denis Tyrell
Um, But yeah, no, I told him, like, don't book your book, your ticket, because we're going to be coming back, and we probably want to be on the same flight so that I don't have to go back to the airport to pick your ass up.
00:57:11
Denis Tyrell
um
00:57:12
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:57:13
Denis Tyrell
And make sure you fly in the same airport as where we leave from, because that's where the car is going to be.
00:57:17
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:57:18
Denis Tyrell
So, yeah, we'll we'll coordinate with him before he books anything.
00:57:23
echo_blades

Denis Tyrell
And it it was good.
01:07:20
echo_blades
I loved it.
01:07:21
Denis Tyrell
It was really fucking long though. God, why is every movie three hours these days?
01:07:23
echo_blades
It doesn't matter. I was... that was...
01:07:27
Denis Tyrell
It's like two and a half. It's over two.
01:07:29
echo_blades
I guess it was. it was long enough for me not to be able to go swimming.
01:07:30
Denis Tyrell
Well over two.
01:07:33
echo_blades
That's that's what I know. So during the mid of the movie started and Dennis is like, get your ass over here and in you know and there come swim.
01:07:36
Denis Tyrell
Uh,
01:07:44
echo_blades
And I was like... huh, that sounds like it. Wait a minute. And I'm, I was probably posting the the picture or the, uh, the story during the movie when you're not supposed to be, but, uh, and answering Dennis, but, uh, yeah, it was long enough to her.
01:07:57
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. I can tell you you're in the movie by by your short response that people are probably yelling at you or or at least sending you bad thoughts.
01:08:04
echo_blades
Yeah.
01:08:06
echo_blades
I was trying to avoid it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But no, it was good, man.
