Introduction and Weekly Highlights
00:00:00
echo_blades
Mm-hmm.
00:00:16
echo_blades
What is happening, everybody? Welcome to another Triple T Podcast for Knife Makers. My name is Jared from Echo Blades, and as always, I have my very bestest buddy, Mr. Dennis Terrell from Terrell Knife Works, and we had a fabulous week this week.
00:00:31
echo_blades
Didn't we, sir?
00:00:32
Denis Tyrell
We did indeed have have a fabulous week. It's always fun having makers in the shop. um Yeah, I had a great time.
00:00:39
echo_blades
Yeah, same here, man. And I don't even know how to continue all the fun that we had because we are so wasted.
00:00:47
Denis Tyrell
I'm tired now, actually. I didn't i didn't sleep well last night. um Probably the first... No, I dropped Noah off this morning. so yeah, i don't know why i didn't sleep well last night, but...
00:01:01
Denis Tyrell
But the shop the house was nice and quiet today, so that part was nice. Yeah,
00:01:07
echo_blades
I could imagine. Yeah. You had a full house.
00:01:09
Denis Tyrell
yeah.
00:01:10
echo_blades
I had a freaking long late week, dude.
00:01:10
Denis Tyrell
yeah
00:01:12
echo_blades
I i think I work late. Wednesday, Thursday, pull a sneak surprise attack on Noah and grabbed him from the the
Unexpected Surprises and Humor
00:01:24
echo_blades
airport. We did a covert undercover secret agent mission.
00:01:28
echo_blades
He was expecting Dennis and he got the freaking Mexican Express to come get him. So...
00:01:35
Denis Tyrell
You know that freaked him out a little bit because he's you know he doesn he doesn't handle change very well when it comes to travel.
00:01:42
echo_blades
Oh, I know. It was great.
00:01:46
Denis Tyrell
And you took him for a banana milkshake that didn't go over well.
00:01:52
Denis Tyrell
What happened?
00:01:52
echo_blades
Dude, I have no idea.
00:01:54
echo_blades
i think they substituted like the people that are normally there for like AI bots or something. Cause this is honest to God.
00:02:05
echo_blades
No lie. My entire life. I have never had a bad banana milkshake from there. And that was the very first time ever. there There's normally like you can't even use a straw because it's getting clumped up with big old pieces of banana.
00:02:24
echo_blades
And there was not a single nanner in this whole thing. I was devastated.
00:02:28
Denis Tyrell
It was powdered, powdered banana.
00:02:30
echo_blades
Well, it was a clear cup, which is never happens. Always in like a weird paper cup. Um, but yeah, it was a clear, uh, cup this time. And I could see like this weird, uh, gelatinous goo flavoring type additive on the top. And I'm like, I knew right away. i was like, oh, this isn't going to be good.
00:02:52
echo_blades
Um, so yeah, I was bummed and I think I'll, I'll have to go back to make sure that it's trash, but that would be devastating to me. Cause that's been the only consistent thing in my life.
00:03:05
Denis Tyrell
You should pull the owner aside and give him your feedback.
00:03:09
echo_blades
Yeah, I don't even know if it's the same guy. Like, everything was everything was different. the The menu had changed. Like, that's the one thing I liked about it. It's, you know, it was still older.
00:03:16
Denis Tyrell
And you were just there with Brent. Had you been there since then?
00:03:20
echo_blades
Probably, yeah. Probably a handful of times. Brent came in September, so. Yeah, for sure. This is is random. So I don't know. That was a bummer. That was probably the only bad thing that happened. um But yeah, it was just ah it was pretty much go, go, go for me anyways.
Accessibility in Knife Making
00:03:41
echo_blades
So I was pretty exhausted last night myself.
00:03:45
Denis Tyrell
yeah but um if you live in a hole and you haven't listened to the podcast in a few episodes uh we had mr noah from nt out river forge and jayden from ah fox river blades um in the shop doing a folder class so that was awesome had to do some um accommodations because jaden's in a wheelchair which um I talked about it last week, moving stuff around with a winch and
00:04:18
echo_blades
Oh, dude, by the way, ladies and gentlemen, we took a ah assessment of this hook that kind of bent, bro.
00:04:32
echo_blades
I was overwhelmingly struck with anxiety seeing it was far more than just a little bent. Like I, I didn't suspect that it would have pulled out of the, the screw would have came out as far as it did. i mean, the little hook part definitely was bent, but yeah, that was suspect and super. Yeah.
00:04:55
echo_blades
Yeah. ah respect for even trying it, number one.
00:04:57
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. like
00:05:00
echo_blades
And I'm so, I'm happy. Normally I want bad things to happen to you, but like that would have been devastating and I'm glad that it all went good and it got set up the way that it did. Cause that was looking suspect, dude.
00:05:12
echo_blades
Sketchy.
00:05:13
Denis Tyrell
Well, the difference is like the, the mill stand is higher than the table. So I was letting out, like it was less pressure on the cable. and I can watch it like so I was pretty confident it wasn't just gonna spontaneously you know let go unless the cable was moving and it didn't really move like it was only a little bit but today I welded i got a new a new one and I welded it closed so it was a full loop so it couldn't stretch um because I had to crank it up so it had to go up
00:05:24
echo_blades
don't know.
00:05:51
echo_blades
Oh, you put it back today?
00:05:52
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I put it back today.
00:05:53
echo_blades
Oh, wow.
00:05:53
Denis Tyrell
um So I had to go up like six or eight inches to get back on the stand. I had Logan help me like move the table and move the stand underneath while I was holding it.
00:06:05
Denis Tyrell
Like making sure it didn't do anything stupid like flip over forwards or something. But yeah, it went back on the stand, no problem. Didn't break anything.
00:06:14
echo_blades
Good. Nice.
00:06:15
Denis Tyrell
So yeah.
00:06:17
echo_blades
I'm happy for that. Cause like I said, I looked at that. I was like, Oh my goodness. That was a little little little sketchy.
00:06:24
Denis Tyrell
yeah i just remember moving that thing the very first time i got it with buddy and it took everything in us to get it on we moved it from the pallet onto a table and then moved it from the tip like a tabletop onto the stand and yeah i almost popped a hernia just moving that thing it's heavy like It's just awkward to hold.
00:06:53
Denis Tyrell
and it's at least as heavy as the as the lathe. um So, yeah, it's not fun.
00:07:00
echo_blades
It's weird because in my mind, I'm thinking of my my little Harbor Freight mill. And i don't think it's that much bigger. That thing was awkward as hell to kind of lug around.
00:07:12
echo_blades
But I definitely didn't have any issues with putting that thing in the back of my car and hauling it from the car to where it is.
00:07:19
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, but it's a Harbor Freight Mill.
00:07:22
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:07:23
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:07:23
echo_blades
I guess.
00:07:23
Denis Tyrell
I mean, well, the the the better the mill, the heavier it is.
00:07:23
echo_blades
I don't know.
00:07:28
Denis Tyrell
Like, that's...
00:07:28
echo_blades
Okay.
00:07:29
echo_blades
Yeah. I, even, even so though, like I can't, I'm not just having a hard time kind of differentiating the size.
00:07:30
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:07:35
echo_blades
So it must've been substantially bigger.
00:07:37
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. And the base, like the the base of the mill is like solid cast, like cast iron or steel. It's really heavy.
00:07:50
echo_blades
Gotcha. Okay. Yeah, well, yeah. the The hook that bent says he agrees.
00:07:58
Denis Tyrell
ah Yeah, and and every every time I move stuff around in the shop, I optimize it a little bit. I found a new home for the portaband. um
00:08:08
echo_blades
I told, I don't think I told you.
00:08:11
Denis Tyrell
What?
00:08:12
echo_blades
I don't think I told you. I don't even think I told you.
00:08:15
Denis Tyrell
What?
00:08:16
echo_blades
I was looking at where you put the portavan and I think I whispered
00:08:21
Denis Tyrell
Oh, that was temporary, but yes.
00:08:23
echo_blades
Oh, that's not the new home?
00:08:24
Denis Tyrell
no no that was the it's it's on top of the drill that was sitting on the drill press table yeah that was
00:08:28
echo_blades
Yeah. Yeah, which I thought was, I thought it was sweet. I thought, i was like, it was pretty damn genius where you put it to get it to the level that it needed to be.
00:08:39
Denis Tyrell
yeah yeah
00:08:39
echo_blades
And I was like, every now and again, a guy impresses me with his kindness, his thoughtfulness, and his resourcefulness. So I couldn't tell you that, obviously. But I guess I just did. Fuck.
00:08:51
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, ah everything, we were trying to get everything at Jaden's height, like a height he could use. So that was the, so it was good thing i had a floor model drill press and I could drop the the table down and then clamp the port-a-band to it.
00:09:04
echo_blades
It was pretty crafty. It was pretty crafty, dude. I like that.
00:09:07
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. No, i ended up I ended up taking the, when I had my my big thick swage block on, that big chunk of wood,
00:09:09
echo_blades
Classy and crafty. Uh-huh.
00:09:17
echo_blades
Gotcha.
00:09:18
Denis Tyrell
I stacked that up with like three more layers of two by fours and now have bolted the um um
00:09:28
Denis Tyrell
port-a-band to that. And I just took off. i use the Swage block once a year. So I'll just put it back on when I need to.
00:09:33
echo_blades
Gotcha.
00:09:35
Denis Tyrell
um
00:09:35
echo_blades
Oh,
00:09:36
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. So when, and I need it at first I was, I was actually, you I was all,
00:09:42
echo_blades
because it was on the welding table, huh?
00:09:43
Denis Tyrell
yeah Which fucking makes a mess and it's beside the oven and it gets all over and yeah, that pisses me off.
00:09:50
echo_blades
Yeah, yeah.
00:09:51
Denis Tyrell
um So yeah, I moved it and it's better. I was going to make a metal stand for it. I was all ready to do some fabricating today and then realized if I make a metal stand, it'll be super light. I'll go to push, like I won't be able to apply any pressure onto the saw. It's just going to fall over.
00:10:07
Denis Tyrell
So yeah, went with the thick, heavy wood stand.
00:10:12
echo_blades
Nice.
00:10:13
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. But it was super fun having the guys in the shop.
Knife-Making Class Reflections
00:10:17
Denis Tyrell
um Jaden is um wiser and cooler than his age.
00:10:23
Denis Tyrell
um he's I forget that that kid's 23, and he just came out with some just some zingers over the weekend. And just a really cool kid. down I call him a kid only because I'm...
00:10:39
Denis Tyrell
he's He's only a year older than my son. um But a great maker, um really down earth guy. You know, we it doesn't matter. It doesn't. It makes zero difference that he's in a wheelchair. He is. He does amazing stuff. So, but the you know.
00:11:00
Denis Tyrell
handicapped or whatever you want to call it or not amazing mark maker, regardless of any kind of, you know, limitations he might have. He's busting through those.
00:11:10
echo_blades
ah quite the contrary i think yeah i think it's a um uh a subtle flex on the rest of us because he operates as if there's yeah like i mean i was i to be honest with you man i had uh very little knowledge of him i didn't
00:11:22
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. yeah
00:11:31
echo_blades
I wasn't even following him prior to this weekend. he wasn't on my radar. So i i I didn't have any any expectations or anything. And, yeah, I can just echo everything that you said. Dude was hilarious, um knowledgeable, had a good sense of um very – what i admired the most was, his, you could tell the desire to learn, to use the time, appropriately, the gratefulness that he add he had for the gratitude i said for, for being there, want to take advantage of it. And, and just wheels are always turning, um, staying in locked in with the processes that you guys are doing. Um, so that, was that was really cool.
00:12:17
echo_blades
Uh, and they, both of them turned out, uh, some really cool, um, knives at the end.
00:12:23
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I mean the lock up, the action on both knives is perfect. And both of them going to do a little bit more finish work on the knives when they go home. So I'm looking forward to seeing some final pictures um of them and maybe hopefully a little video or something of how those knives turned out. But yeah, they were, they look awesome.
00:12:46
Denis Tyrell
So yeah, it was super fun having them. um and jayden's wife uh evan is a sweetheart um so uh yeah it was it was great and so um i don't think we talked about it last week um and we certainly talked about it or you'll folks you'll hear it if you listen to hustle grind podcast that i was on with jayden uh that comes out the same today when this one comes out but uh
00:12:56
echo_blades
Mm-hmm.
00:13:17
Denis Tyrell
Noah had a little accident um last week and so busted his finger up in his press. So the big joke is that, you know, the but Jaden was going to help him have to help him throughout the course because he busted up his finger.
00:13:37
Denis Tyrell
um And even Jaden was making fun of him and calling him a cripple, which I thought was extra funny.
00:13:41
echo_blades
Hilarious.
00:13:41
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:13:42
echo_blades
Yeah. It
00:13:44
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:13:46
echo_blades
was good.
00:13:46
Denis Tyrell
But yeah, it was a good time. It was a really good time. And I dropped off um Noah this morning. And I know um Jaden and his wife were heading out at around 2-ish today.
00:14:00
Denis Tyrell
So I'm assuming they got home just fine.
00:14:03
echo_blades
think it's tomorrow.
00:14:04
Denis Tyrell
No, it actually is today.
00:14:06
echo_blades
It is today.
00:14:06
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, it was today.
00:14:06
echo_blades
Nice. Nice.
00:14:09
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. But um yeah, it was good.
00:14:14
echo_blades
Yeah. And no Noah was one of my favorite people. So, uh, it was really awesome to see him, um, hang out. And, uh, So it's first time I've ever been in that kind of, well, it is.
00:14:27
echo_blades
Yeah. First time I've ever got to see Noah in action. All one, two, three, eight digits of him, you know?
00:14:39
Denis Tyrell
Eight working digits.
00:14:39
echo_blades
No, he was a soldier too, though, man.
00:14:41
echo_blades
Yeah, he was a soldier too.
00:14:41
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:14:42
echo_blades
It was good times, man.
00:14:43
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, sure was.
00:14:45
echo_blades
Absolutely good times.
00:14:45
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. And we used the hell out of the Ameribraid grinder that was actually um took the casters off the Ameribraid to drop it down three inches for Jaden, but it worked out

00:15:32
echo_blades
Yeah, absolutely.
00:15:33
Denis Tyrell
Yep.
00:15:34
echo_blades
I had a little, uh, I don't have the, um, the drop away platen.
00:15:40
Denis Tyrell
Mm-hmm.
00:15:42
echo_blades
So I was grinding the knife a little bit and, i was putting pressure and it, it, it, it was in the giveaway, uh, condition and it scared the shit out of I was like, Oh,
00:15:42
Denis Tyrell
in the And you want it? Okay.
00:15:55
echo_blades
Because there's I was telling the guy there, too. There's there's many a times. i think we were talking about it one night, but Dennis has a tendency to run the grinder in two so two speeds only, either on at 100 And...
00:16:10
echo_blades
and ah very, very commonly he'll, you know, he'll tell me, no, don't be a pussy and you know put some effort into it. Lean into it. And, uh, and when that thing gave away, I was like, oops, I guess I broke it.
00:16:27
echo_blades
It took me a minute to to figure it.
00:16:28
Denis Tyrell
You thought you pushed so hard that you you dented the planet?
00:16:31
echo_blades
I, yeah, I'm, I'm a strong guy, dude. I mean, look at me. This is not, I'm peak male of the specimen here. Uh, but,
00:16:39
Denis Tyrell
Hey, b and me and Ryan Coakley like to run the grinders at full tilt and get some work done. I know he feels the same way.
00:16:46
echo_blades
Yeah. Yeah. I, yeah. Very rarely we mobile mind see full blast, full speed, whatever you want to say that it's, uh, that was funny though.
00:16:57
Denis Tyrell
only Only on, especially if I'm like profiling with an old beat up 36, then it it's going to get the business. It's going to go. Yeah.
00:17:07
echo_blades
Now I've witnessed it. There's no, no doubt about that.
00:17:10
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. ah They, um Kevin put out a video about um the scratch and dents. So they're either they're going to put up for sale a bunch of like refurbished and scratch and dent motors. And I reached out to him and said, hey, hey you got one of those three horses? so then I, because I only have the two horse on mine and because I've ah only ever had a grinder with a two horse and, but I have bogged it down once or twice and I'm thinking, man, what I could do with a three horse.
00:17:42
Denis Tyrell
That would be awesome.
00:17:42
echo_blades
Yeah, I'm actually going to be traveling ah down south a to San Diego area with Jared in a couple weeks. I reached out to him today and I think I'm going to swing by and say what's up.
00:17:56
echo_blades
Go check out the shop.
00:17:57
Denis Tyrell
if he has that three horse, I might get you to pick it up for me.
00:17:57
echo_blades
and
00:18:05
Denis Tyrell
Because you're my best bud, Jared, and you would love to do stuff for me.
00:18:06
echo_blades
and do that would be really That would be really nice of me. Wow.
00:18:13
echo_blades
That would be exception exceptionally nice.
00:18:21
Denis Tyrell
uh
00:18:22
echo_blades
yeah
00:18:25
Denis Tyrell
but uh i i one thing i every time i teach not just this course but but this one has so many steps and it's one i probably haven't taught as many as some of the other courses but every time uh i i learn more about the nuances of folders every time i teach the class and uh just some problems that people like they were facing a problem that I don't normally see, which is like the blade being off center towards the lock bar.
00:18:54
Denis Tyrell
I won't get into too much detail, but that's, that's not usually the problem. Usually it goes the other, the other way. So we had to like, think about how to fix that. And, um, and we did on both or not, both of them had the same problem, which was bizarre, but, um,
00:19:09
echo_blades
Have you done ah folder class for anybody like a random?
00:19:16
Denis Tyrell
Um, well, what do you mean, Rand? Um,
00:19:19
echo_blades
like a Like a, I guess that like Jaden would probably be the most random, but I know you you, you know, Brent and I did it, Toby, and then,
00:19:26
Denis Tyrell
so yeah, no, I haven't done it for like random students. I have, well, I have, um, um, now I'm spacing. Who's coming next month? Um, um, what's his name?
00:19:40
Denis Tyrell
Geez, he's gonna yell at me. Um, No, not that one.
00:19:50
Denis Tyrell
a ge Jeff, Jeff Rumba is coming next, yeah, yeah um end of July.
00:19:50
echo_blades
he will remit.
00:19:54
echo_blades
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:19:56
Denis Tyrell
And he's taking the folder class.
00:19:59
echo_blades
Got it.
00:20:00
Denis Tyrell
So that'd be the first, you know, not someone I know really well. why He's been here for a class already, so I do know him pretty well.
00:20:08
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:20:09
Denis Tyrell
But um but yeah, it's cool.
00:20:10
echo_blades
Yeah, yeah.
00:20:12
Denis Tyrell
It's cool to pick up new little, you know, how to um We spent a lot of time on how to bend the lock bar properly this um um this time, and I actually updated the notes with a little more details on how to bend the lock bar and just some other things that I thought was you know interesting. to you know The more times you do it, the easier it is to teach, so it was it was good.
00:20:40
Denis Tyrell
I had a good time as well and learned stuff.
00:20:40
echo_blades
Nice.
00:20:43
echo_blades
Cool.
00:20:43
Denis Tyrell
So we've got to get yours finished. what do you got left to do in yours?
00:20:46
echo_blades
Yeah, i worked on it. I worked on it a little bit.
00:20:49
Denis Tyrell
I know, but do you have left? Just finish work?
00:20:55
echo_blades
Basically.
00:20:57
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, because you got to do um the notch in the um
00:21:03
echo_blades
Yeah, I have a little...
00:21:04
Denis Tyrell
in the lock bar.
00:21:06
echo_blades
The last time the last time we Yeah, I can't remember if this is a new thing, but it was a little sticky. um The action was really good at one time, and then I don't know if it just was gritty as hell, and I got to clean it up.
00:21:24
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, you're talking about the lock sticks?
00:21:24
echo_blades
But yeah, um predominantly it's, yeah, the lock stick and the just the actual action on it. Because it it actually opens up and locks in tighter than...
00:21:39
echo_blades
It's nice both ways.
00:21:40
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:21:40
echo_blades
The detent is in there really good. So it locks up and closes really cool, but it's a little sticky on the inside in between there.
00:21:51
echo_blades
um But yeah, basically finish work.
00:21:54
Denis Tyrell
Okay. Yeah. You got, um, I think that lock stick, you just got to next time you're bringing over. if it's still sticky, we'll either re harden it.
00:22:04
Denis Tyrell
We'll try that first and then take a little diamond file and just kind of um soften the edges on the lock bar that where it touches. And that usually takes a bit of the stick out.
00:22:13
echo_blades
um a second I was second guessing myself on whether we hardened it or not.
00:22:19
Denis Tyrell
I don't think we, it's really shiny, so I don't think we did.
00:22:23
echo_blades
Yeah. I couldn't, I can't. I know Brent's was. But anyways, yeah, neither here nor there.
00:22:29
Denis Tyrell
we We'll do it again anyway.
00:22:29
echo_blades
I was second guessing myself.
00:22:30
Denis Tyrell
i've i've
00:22:30
echo_blades
Yeah. Yeah.
00:22:31
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. It's like a one minute operation, so it's and it's not hard.
00:22:38
echo_blades
I remember seeing it and doing it. that's why um that's why I think we did, but.
00:22:42
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, if we did rents, we would have done yours.
00:22:43
echo_blades
I don't remember.
00:22:44
Denis Tyrell
I don't see why we wouldn't have.
00:22:47
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:22:47
Denis Tyrell
But...
00:22:48
echo_blades
Unless I was not in the class or working or something.
00:22:52
Denis Tyrell
Maybe.
00:22:55
Denis Tyrell
But... um
00:22:59
Denis Tyrell
um if you
00:22:59
echo_blades
You know, who's always in class, you know, who's always in class and doesn't ever take a break.

00:23:08
Denis Tyrell

00:23:09
echo_blades

Denis Tyrell
Indeed. um Yeah, I've got a... i I screwed up and for some reason, I don't know, when I'm like, I focus on like the next thing I have to do like calendar wise, which was like this weekend.
00:24:11
Denis Tyrell
And then anything else that happens feels like it's like weeks away. But so I was thinking that July 4th was like next weekend. You were the one that corrected me and said, no, no, it's this week.
00:24:21
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:24:23
Denis Tyrell
And I was like, shit. So I only have three more days. So I'm going to try to, um,
00:24:28
echo_blades
But I always, i always love the matter of fact in which you tell me I'm wrong. It's, it's a, it's a quality characteristic that you have. And think it was just you and I, you were, were making some, we were grilling or something. was out there talking with you. I was like, yeah, I think it's the fourth of July. No, it's not. That's the week after.
00:24:49
echo_blades
i was like, no, dude. ah Pull out your calendar.
00:24:52
Denis Tyrell
No, that that was disbelief. That's ah my my snap disbelief reaction.
00:24:57
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:25:01
Denis Tyrell
um Yeah, so only three days. So I'm going to well finish mile i'll finish my folder like tomorrow morning. But I'm working on another design. the the one The other one that you saw is a little, you another curvier design.
00:25:17
Denis Tyrell
I'd like to get that one done before the weekend.
00:25:18
echo_blades
I like it.
00:25:20
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, it's ah in ah funny enough, totally random.
00:25:20
echo_blades
Yeah, I like that.
00:25:25
Denis Tyrell
ah It actually looks like one of Jaden's fixed blades when it's open. the handle is very, very similar to his. Um, so maybe I was, uh, subliminaly boy, that didn't come out right.
00:25:40
Denis Tyrell
Sublima. I can't even say the word, unconsciously.
00:25:44
echo_blades
Sublime.
00:25:44
Denis Tyrell
No, unconsciously thinking, thinking of his knives when I designed it.
00:25:46
echo_blades
Subliminally.
00:25:51
Denis Tyrell
Uh, cause I knew he was coming.
00:25:51
echo_blades
think you had too many ah I think you had too many Jason mimosas.
00:25:55
Denis Tyrell
ah Yeah, probably.
00:25:58
echo_blades
yeah
00:25:59
Denis Tyrell
Uh,
00:26:00
echo_blades
I don't know. what i have that written down there. We were talking with the with Noah the first night he was there. and I can't remember what the joke was, dude.
00:26:07
Denis Tyrell
You don't remember the context? I remember the context.

00:27:27
Denis Tyrell
Um, yeah, so, July 4th in like four days or whatever, while leaving for July 4th in four days, going camping and jet skiing, planning on having a good weekend.
00:27:36
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:27:39
echo_blades
Yeah. That was the one thing I i was going to tell you. is like, you can't argue with me about an upcoming holiday because I work. So, you know every day is not a potential holiday for me. So I know these days when I get a paid day off, they're, they're very near and dear to my heart. So, um, yeah, looking forward to that.
00:27:58
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, but you're, you're, good ah you what what are you doing for July 4th?
00:27:59

I have been good.
00:28:04
Denis Tyrell
You're going family or something like that?
00:28:05
echo_blades
I'm fine. Yeah, I'll probably go hang out with my buddy. I'll golf for sure.
00:28:11
Denis Tyrell
On July 4th?
00:28:14
echo_blades
There's nothing more American than golfing. And then I'll...
00:28:18
Denis Tyrell
I'm not going to entertain that, but, and then what?
00:28:26
echo_blades
that's That's it. I'll go swim and eat hot dogs and steaks and corn and cupcakes and more cupcakes and... More cupcakes.
00:28:40
echo_blades
And then I have zero plans to go see fireworks. ah
00:28:47
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, well, we're going to be we can be on the Delta, so I think we'll probably um have dinner on the on the, what's it called, Sugar Barge restaurant there.
00:28:48
echo_blades
Zero.
00:29:03
Denis Tyrell
and They'll probably fire them off over Frank's Track, I'm assuming, which is like a big waterway on the Delta.
00:29:10
echo_blades
I've done a lot of fishing on Frank's track.
00:29:10
Denis Tyrell
um Really? Huh.
00:29:15
echo_blades
Well, off of it anyways.
00:29:18
Denis Tyrell
You caught fish there?
00:29:18
echo_blades
Striper town, baby. Striper town, yeah.
00:29:22
Denis Tyrell
Really? Huh. No, never even thought of fishing there.
00:29:28
echo_blades
I've spent many days on on on er a lot of boats other than the wakeboarding boats.
00:29:40
Denis Tyrell
I...
00:29:40
echo_blades
In the Delta anyways.
00:29:41
Denis Tyrell
the the the first The first time I met Dan, like the first whatever, couple of months, I asked him if if he fishes and like, can I fish off his boat? And he looked at me like, like you look at me when I say something stupid.
00:29:58
Denis Tyrell
Like, he was like, don't even consider bringing a fishing a fishing rod on my boat. Yeah.
00:30:06
echo_blades
I get it now. I do get it now.
00:30:08
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:30:09
echo_blades
I think I said the same thing. i was like, I'll just fish while you guys are.
00:30:11
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, that's what you mean.
00:30:14
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:30:16
Denis Tyrell
no you won'
00:30:17
echo_blades
That's funny.
00:30:20
echo_blades
Yeah. What's going to say? Oh, 4th of July. Yeah. I have continued my mission of watching a bunch of revolutionary con constitution, independence, declaration of independence documentaries, man.
00:30:40
echo_blades
I'm thoroughly enjoying myself.
Discovering American History
00:30:43
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, you you feel educated?
00:30:43
echo_blades
There's a lot of, uh, I am humbled by how much I thought I knew and how much was just assumed.
00:30:56
echo_blades
So it's been, it's been enlightening to say the least. And I'm feeling super, super American right now.
00:31:03
Denis Tyrell
And this is all about presidents or...
00:31:04
echo_blades
Um,
00:31:07
echo_blades
No, it's just about like the the the whole the being the 250th birthday, right? Just the whole, the beginning. The last thing I've been watching is a thing on Netflix called The American Experiment about, you know, what a...
00:31:26
echo_blades
how incredible our, you know, our government and the democracy and the evolution of all that and how new and, uh, it just, just how different it is and how relatively new comparative to, you know, our, the history of, of us all being here.
00:31:42
echo_blades
Um, it's just been super enlightening and film him really, uh, like I said, just, yeah, super patriotic and yeah.
00:31:49
Denis Tyrell
You sound pretty patriotic right now. I'm like hearing the star-spangled banner off in the distance.
00:31:55
echo_blades
Mm-hmm. Yep. It's, it's, it's, yeah, a hundred percent. um I don't know. Maybe I'm just getting old, but yeah, like i said, though, the thing is, this is how much, ah how, how many details I didn't actually know of the, the events and like how, what a, what a,
00:32:18
echo_blades
how unlikely it was for us to to be here right now. Like a million things had to go right. And, you know, I had to send some amazing people and yeah, just some really cool, cool stuff.
00:32:29
echo_blades
So, uh, yeah, it's been, it's been a good, good use of time and traffic. hello
00:32:40
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I haven't watched any of those specials, but I do normally like those, but just no time lately.
00:32:46
echo_blades
Yeah, but there was some on The Presidents.
00:32:46
Denis Tyrell
but
00:32:48
echo_blades
I watched one on Thomas Jefferson and Theodore Roosevelt. like yeah i Just on and on and on. So it's been good.
00:32:54
Denis Tyrell
Good.
00:32:55
echo_blades
What I was going to say to you was
00:33:05
echo_blades
nothing. Good night, everybody.
00:33:06
Denis Tyrell
I was going to say, it sounds thrilling.
00:33:10
echo_blades
completely went blank. It happens sometimes. I'm a little bummed.
00:33:14
Denis Tyrell
What are you bummed?
00:33:14
echo_blades
i think like i I think that you wasted the good Dennis for another show. And i just want to highlight what a very, very bad move that is for the Triple T audience.
00:33:28
Denis Tyrell
ah Yeah, doing an episode, especially before. Should have that one after. Should have done ours before.
00:33:36
echo_blades
yeah i Yeah, I couldn't agree with you more.
00:33:41
Denis Tyrell
ah Noah asked, he wanted to record Hustle and Grind while he was here. And so we did. It was fun. So yeah, go listen to that one.
00:33:48
echo_blades
I opted out. Yeah. Yeah. You want to know what really happened? Go check out another show where you'll get fully energetic and actually happy.
00:33:56
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, don't listen to ours.
00:33:59
echo_blades
Yeah. Dennis feels like he's repeating himself. Even though I know nothing about what happened. So,
00:34:05
Denis Tyrell
Um, no, I mean, it was, it was good to hear their perspective, like, uh, Noah and Jaden and how the, they thought the weekend went and how, you know, they learned stuff and yeah, it was good hearing their, their, uh, their perspective, but.
00:34:25
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, um looking forward to getting into the rest of the summer now. It's going to start to get hot here. And I've got forging to do, which is not going to be fun.
00:34:35
Denis Tyrell
So, well, it's under...
00:34:37
echo_blades
You're going bust out your peen?
00:34:39
Denis Tyrell
I will be busting out the peen. um My plan after the buoy I'm working on which is now in hand sand and finish work, um I will be do cutting a couple slices off that loaf of feather, the one I did that fancy buoy on.
00:35:00
Denis Tyrell
And I'm going to do another, i think, ah a buoy and a hunter um set, like a pair, um a kind of a matching pair. And that's going to require some forging.
00:35:11
Denis Tyrell
So some hand forging. So I will definitely be using the two bastards hammers to force those to my will and make some cool looking knives out of those. So if you need a hammer to force something to your will, go get yourself a fat peen. like at One of those straight, one of those cross, or one of the zigzag peens for extra pleasure.
00:35:36
Denis Tyrell
Why, Jared? Why extra pleasure?
00:35:39
echo_blades
Because it's always grand to have a double diagonal fab peen in your hand.
00:35:44
Denis Tyrell
Yes.
00:35:45
echo_blades
Doesn't matter which way you flip it.
00:35:48
Denis Tyrell
Goes both ways.
00:35:51
echo_blades
Flip it and grip it. It goes both ways. let's see what you did there.
00:36:00
Denis Tyrell
ah That ad read is getting more and more... a What's the term?
00:36:08
echo_blades
Awesome.
00:36:09
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, yeah, that. Um, but yeah, lots of, knife. I still, I still, that those two other, well, I still got a few months, I'll do those two. And then i don't know what else I'm going to do for, uh, Austria.
00:36:26
Denis Tyrell
I may try to do a dagger for Austria. Um, just to keep practicing daggers unless it turns out really good and I want to keep it for my master set, but we'll see.
00:36:38
Denis Tyrell
So, yeah. But, um,
00:36:38
echo_blades
Nice.
00:36:41
echo_blades
What was the word that you taught me with that scribing on the ivory or whatever that was?
00:36:49
Denis Tyrell
Scrimshaw?
00:36:51
echo_blades
Scrimshaw. That's right.
00:36:52
Denis Tyrell
Yes. I have a...
00:36:55
echo_blades
Dennis has a piece of ivory that has some scrimshaw on it where there is a blatant, blatant disregard for firearm safety going on on it
00:37:06
Denis Tyrell
Well, it looks like he's firing a spear gun, so there's that.
00:37:06
echo_blades
This dude is...
00:37:12
echo_blades
ah You can call whatever you want, but he's got that spear gun pointed right at his homie's head. If we're ever together in that situation and there's a barrel pointed that close to my head, we're fighting.
00:37:23
echo_blades
If you don't shoot me, obviously.
00:37:27
Denis Tyrell
ah Yeah, but you can see the little cord and it's it's hitting a seal, I think.
00:37:33
echo_blades
I guess.
00:37:36
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, that was actually surprise when I got that ivory that it was scrimshot on one side, which is kind of cool.
00:37:43
echo_blades
sacrificial scrimshaw
00:37:43
Denis Tyrell
It almost... It makes me, and on the end of one, I'm actually going to probably cut that end because it has a beautiful picture of a deer head.
00:37:55
Denis Tyrell
So I may actually like cut it off almost like a coin on the end just so I,
00:38:00
echo_blades
i don't know if it's beautiful but it's it's a deer i don't know if that's difficult to do or not but
00:38:06
Denis Tyrell
no, no. I'm assuming it's pretty difficult. But the deer looks pissed off. That's what I like about it. It's not like a happy deer.
00:38:13
echo_blades
There you go
00:38:14
Denis Tyrell
It's pissed off deer.
00:38:15
echo_blades
It's a dentist deer. It's a DD double dentist deer.
00:38:20
Denis Tyrell
Or I guess maybe maybe it's a a caribou. I don't know.
00:38:24
echo_blades
It's a for fuck's sake deer. That's what it is.
00:38:29
Denis Tyrell
I'll show you next time. Like, if you really look at the deer on the end, because I was looking at it and thinking, oh, I might just cut this off. And i'm like, that deer looks pissed. um
00:38:38
echo_blades
Oh, what's one of those weird Canadian phrases that you tell me is giving you the the wink eye, the stink, the the, no, it's the hairy eyeball.
00:38:43
Denis Tyrell
The stink guy, yeah. The the hairy eyeball. The hairy.
00:38:48
echo_blades
That's what it is.
00:38:51
Denis Tyrell
But Toby knew what that meant.
00:38:54
echo_blades
He did foreigners.
00:38:54
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Yeah.
00:38:58
Denis Tyrell
you know who doesn't give people the hairy eyeball gives them the hairy chin coy baker from baker forge
00:39:01
echo_blades
Oh,
00:39:05
echo_blades
Hmm. That's right. he does. He's got a mean hairy chin.
00:39:11
Denis Tyrell
um and uh
00:39:11
echo_blades
Where do we begin with my hairy chin?
00:39:15
Denis Tyrell
ah If you guys need some premium steel, go check out Baker Fortune Tool because they got the most amazing steel around. ah You can use the discount code TTT10 and load up that cart, not just with steel, but Gator Piss, their premium etch-ins to make that steel pop.
00:39:36
Denis Tyrell
The Grime Reaper to clean it and then protect it with gator skin. So what they got it all. Um, is, uh, what's, oh yeah. The Firestorm damn core Chevron is, uh, because I only know cause we talked about it yesterday.
00:39:54
Denis Tyrell
Um, is, uh, it's one of my favorite patterns. It is, uh, Damascus core Damascus cladding with, um, the copper and then hit with the Chevron dyes that makes it just look amazing.
00:40:09
Denis Tyrell
So, uh, definitely check that out.
00:40:11
echo_blades
you you also know You also know because I put it in the show notes.
00:40:13
Denis Tyrell
No.
00:40:16
Denis Tyrell
I'm actually not looking at the show.
00:40:17
echo_blades
You keep bringing this other show up, dude. Why don't you just tell them me to use their code, too, you douche nugget.
00:40:21
Denis Tyrell
i Noah said, Noah thought I was going to jump in and say our code last ah last night, but I was nice and didn't.
00:40:29
echo_blades
That would be rude. Yeah. But you can use the app to get early access to the drop next week ahead of all the standard basic interwebers.
00:40:32
Denis Tyrell

00:40:41

The Power of Maker Gatherings
00:52:07
echo_blades
Yeah. If you guys haven't had the opportunity to go hang out with other makers and do what we like, something like we did this weekend, just, I think you're doing yourself a disservice. Um, I was kind of, while I was at work today,
00:52:20
echo_blades
um I just kept getting some thinking and like, what an awesome time. Like all the laughs, all the, the, just the conversations, the, the, exchange of ideas. It is, I was absolutely amazed to find out that that was the first time that Jaden had actually got to do something like that.
00:52:45
echo_blades
Um, so it just kind of was making me feel, uh, pretty lucky, um, that I've got to hang out and, and make and quite a few different people's shops.
00:52:58
echo_blades
Um, so if you guys haven't done that, man, I highly suggest it, um, find somebody local or plan a cool trip and go hang out with somebody.
00:52:58
Denis Tyrell
you
00:53:08
echo_blades
Cause, uh, it's, it's just a hell of a time.
00:53:11
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, for sure. And I mean, obviously he's got some, some, uh, challenges, uh, so he doesn't, you know, leave the house as much as maybe other people, but, um, it was great to have him here and yeah, I agree. It's, it is awesome being in other people's shops just to, even just to see the layout of their shop, how they use tools that it might be different, the processes they use with those tools and yeah.
00:53:38
Denis Tyrell
so yeah i mean i'm you might head up to uh noah's shop i hear so uh that'd be fun uh yeah

You were using the Canadian calendar. I get it.
00:54:18
Denis Tyrell

00:54:20
echo_blades
You're up against it.
00:54:21
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, yeah.
00:54:24
echo_blades
You're using a different process.
00:54:26
Denis Tyrell

You got to use the correct template. All right, I'm done.
00:54:32
Denis Tyrell

00:54:33
echo_blades
My favorite thing, my favorite before you go on, my favorite, favorite, favorite moment of the weekend was I made a comment about you saying against and Jaden caught on.
00:54:43
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:54:45
echo_blades
And every single time you said it, he locked eyes with me and just kind of chuckled to himself. That's what we were doing at the at the Mexican restaurant. uh you were like what are you talking about what are you doing and i'm like nothing i just got a got a side thing going on so yeah it just just another my my hats off to to jayden for being a a witty uh little champ there that was fucking that was that was awesome every time you said he just looked at me we started laughing
00:55:16
Denis Tyrell

00:55:39
Denis Tyrell
But yeah, it starts Thursday.
00:55:44
echo_blades
Bro, whatever you got going on with your camera is making me fucking nauseous. ah you I am seriously like, you're like, I feel like I'm in a, I feel like I'm going to go find the Petrovia line or whatever.
00:55:56
Denis Tyrell
ah
00:56:02
Denis Tyrell
Okay.
00:56:04
echo_blades
I'm fucking sick right now.
00:56:08
Denis Tyrell
Time to turn the auto center off on the Apple camera.
00:56:13
echo_blades
Yeah, or stay still. Fuck, dude. It's taking me for a while. I'm about to hit my face on the screen, dude, trying to follow you.
00:56:24
Denis Tyrell
It's anything to give Jared some exercise. and
00:56:26
echo_blades
Yeah, that's what I need for sure. You know, I did what is i i did want to say one thing, and I and i feel like i
00:56:28
Denis Tyrell
It's the where's Waldo of...
00:56:35
echo_blades
I don't owe anybody apology, but I feel, for myself anyways, I feel, ah all month I've been meaning to to mention that it was Men's Mental heard mental Health Awareness Month.
Men's Mental Health Awareness
00:56:47
echo_blades
And um i know it's gonna come out tomorrow and it's the last day, but um i I stand behind this statement where I say that I don't, I think there's there is nothing more sad to me than people that, especially ah men that needlessly suffer because of things they're going through. They don't have the ability to talk, to share, to to let it out.
00:57:16
echo_blades
And ah i like I said, that's that's where I feel like I i i but meant to to bring this up you know throughout the throughout the month and just kind of encourage anybody that feels that way. And if you're not great, that's awesome. I'm not saying it's, you know, everybody's afflicted by stuff like that, but if you are, um, and you're having any kind of, uh, thoughts ah loneliness and all that crap, um,
00:57:40
echo_blades
You know, you're not alone. There's all kinds of people to talk to. And just don't like I said, I truly, truly with with all my heart feel like that is the saddest thing in the world to me where um that people just needlessly suffer because most of the time you start talking to people, you're going to start hearing people relate and identify with the things that you're saying. um And if there, if you're talking to somebody and it doesn't work out, there's always somebody else. So, um, I just want to encourage you guys to, to at least have some awareness of it. Um, if everything's going great, that's awesome. Keep that up. Um, if not, um, like I said, don't, don't be afraid to, uh, to, to talk because, uh,
00:58:24
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Don't needlessly suffer. Be like me. And ah yeah I have a reason because I talk to Jared every week. That's, uh, that's my reason for suffering.
00:58:31
echo_blades
Yes. A hundred percent. Yes. I am suffering from a dentist, which is why I reach out continuously to my so mental health support group and which has sustained me and given me the ability to deal with this and participate in this relationship for, i what did we say?
00:58:52
echo_blades
like Four years, four, almost five years now.
00:58:53
Denis Tyrell
I think it's five.
00:58:55

Denis Tyrell
It's on both ends.
