00:01:04
echo_blades
ah The rest of this year.
00:01:06
Denis Tyrell
Oh, okay.
00:01:06
echo_blades
Like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:01:07
Denis Tyrell
I don't believe that either.
00:01:08
echo_blades
Yeah. It's a highly fucking unlikable.
00:01:13
Denis Tyrell
You play golf one more time.
00:01:13
echo_blades
Like,
00:01:14
Denis Tyrell
I guarantee you swear.
00:01:16
echo_blades
yeah That's for sure. What a ride it was last week on that course. woo ah
00:01:23
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. So did you get any feedback? Any props on the big hole in one or what?
00:01:29
echo_blades
Not a single response from ah this community.
00:01:32
Denis Tyrell
No.
00:01:34
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:01:34
Denis Tyrell
No one gave you the old attaboy or no one gives a fuck.
00:01:34
echo_blades
No one gets no one gives two flying fucks. Nope. And that's cool.
00:01:40
Denis Tyrell
They're more interested that you finish four knives.
00:01:43
echo_blades
Yeah. Yeah. Hopefully. Yeah. But I really didn't get much on that either. So, but I'm good. i was fantastically satisfied and happy with ah being in the hole in one club. um But again, I'm, I'm rehabbing my swing. So I shot 102 other Saturday.
00:02:04
echo_blades
and then on sunday my okay golfer self showed up and I, I shot 90. So that was, that was pretty good. I missed a birdie from two fucking feet. Dennis.
00:02:15
echo_blades
That's funny. By the the best shots I've hit all year, minus the whole one, like stuck it. Like it was so good. And I was like, for sure. I was walking out of there with a birdie and I fucking blew it past the hole. Like I was a hundred feet away. Just nerves, dude. This game is so fucking bad, but ah yeah, that's cool.
00:02:35
echo_blades
Uh,
00:02:36
Denis Tyrell
So tell me, what'd you get for Christmas?
00:02:39
echo_blades
um Oh, dude, I got a really cool gift from my son. He had ah my Echo Blades logo printed on a dozen balls.
00:02:51
Denis Tyrell
Nice.
00:02:51
echo_blades
And I was that mean, it was so sweet. it was super thoughtful. um You know, I have this thing right now with with golf balls, like new golf balls. Anyways, um if I pick a new like straight out of a sleeve,
00:03:05
echo_blades
and put it down at one, I mean, it's probably a 90% chance that ball is getting lost. And it happens with new balls all the time. If I find one, like after I hit one off into the water and I find one, you know, somewhere else, I'll play that ball for the rest of the damn round.
00:03:22
Denis Tyrell
right.
00:03:22
echo_blades
But as soon as I pick a new ball out, so i actually don't even want to use these.
00:03:26
echo_blades
um I did use one and guess what? Bloop, plopped it in the water the second time I hit it. So, ah but ah yeah, I figure I'll use a couple of them. I have a couple of them up here for show to keep
Christmas Gifts and Minimalistic Traditions
00:03:40
echo_blades
forever. But yeah, it was super cool. Got a couple other um
00:03:46
echo_blades
things. Nothing big. We really did not do, you know, historically we've gone apeshit for Christmas and we've just kind of held back on that and kept it pretty chill.
00:03:58
echo_blades
So more about the time and everything.
00:04:00
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. say was Same with us this year. We did, like, really... we Kim and I only bought stuff for each other that, like, dumb shit that we needed.
00:04:12
Denis Tyrell
Like, I got her, like, a scarf glove set, and, ah you know, we got new cutlery, new silverware, new, like, dumb shit for the house.
00:04:22
echo_blades
Oh, that's hilarious.
00:04:23
Denis Tyrell
Like...
00:04:23
echo_blades
So, so my, my daughter's back home for, it's been a while now, but the other day, i think it was a couple of weeks ago, I go into the, uh, the silverware drawer and I can't find a fucking fork.
00:04:39
echo_blades
And I'm like, where in the flying are all the, where in the fork are all the forks at? right And so ah every now and again, I'll i'll go apeshit here in the house and I'll hold court. So I accused everybody of, you know, like, who in the fuck is the fork thief? Like, put the damn forks back. Like, we had a shit ton forks. and um So anyways.
00:05:03
echo_blades
one of my gifts, my daughter gave me a a brand new pack of forks, just forks.
00:05:08
Denis Tyrell
Just forks?
00:05:10
Denis Tyrell
Did they match?
00:05:10
echo_blades
Cause yeah, they were all forks, but yeah, it was more like a fork.
00:05:13
Denis Tyrell
No, did they match the ones you already

00:05:15
Denis Tyrell

00:05:15
echo_blades
Oh, I don't know. I don't who fucking cares about that. I don't know. It was just like a fork. You joke, you know, kick get off my ass. Here's your forks fool. So, uh, I thought that was pretty cool, but, uh,
00:05:29
Denis Tyrell
i i went to, I think it was a Walmart, and looked at cutlery. and ended up getting, I thought Kim was going to hate them, but they are black a set of stainless, but they're black.
00:05:43
Denis Tyrell
I think they look really cool. She actually does like them. So it's a whole set of silverware, but they're black.

00:08:15
Denis Tyrell

00:08:16
echo_blades
yeah and we just Yeah, we just slumped it up, buddy.
00:08:18
Denis Tyrell
Hmm.
00:08:21
echo_blades
think I made chili with it, too. yeah that's what I did. i don't know. It is what it is. um But, man, I'm just really enjoying the time. I really enjoyed the time off. um and for mother The second half of it, because the first half of it, i don't I think I slept like three hours a night for two nights for sure, trying to finish up the last build that I had in this order to get out for Christmas.
00:08:50
echo_blades
And I worked up until what do we, I think I met, I met the dude down the street from your house.
00:08:55
Denis Tyrell
It's like 4.30. Oh.
00:08:56
echo_blades
It was five 30.
00:08:58
Denis Tyrell
ah
00:08:58
echo_blades
It was actually five 30 by the time we got there. um And yeah, that was an event, man. It was actually pretty, i don't, I don't, I guess, i don't know. It's like that for me in most things with my, the way my brain works. Right. I ah i operate and perform in chaos, in high stress situations very well, given i like a long lead time to complete something. I'm to sit around and wait until the last minute. So it it becomes stressful like that. But yeah, basically ah ground that knife out on Tuesday at your house and
00:09:38
echo_blades
Oh no, Monday started to grind. And then Tuesday i finished the grinding and then hand sanded until like fucking two in the morning, got it ready, ended up ah gluing it up at like six in the morning on Christmas Eve.
00:09:53
echo_blades
And then I went golf while that thing was setting. And then like, I realized I was like, holy shit, I used a 24 hour epoxy. So I ended up calling you. At like, i don't know, 11 or something. And I'm like, hey, how long does this shit really take to set?
00:10:11
echo_blades
So anna longer than three hours.
00:10:11
Denis Tyrell
Longer than three hours.
00:10:15
echo_blades
But by the time we got it, it had been sitting for what? Like six, six or seven, six hours by the time I got there.
00:10:21
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, it was like almost seven, I think. Yeah, yeah it was prayer it was pretty stiff.
00:10:23
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:10:25
Denis Tyrell
It was stiff.
00:10:25
echo_blades
It was fine. it nothing yeah i wouldn't It's nothing I've done before, so I was super nervous, but I was actually conceded to the fact that we were going to induction forge and use the five-minute and go from there, but we didn't end up having do that.
00:10:41
echo_blades
Thankfully, that would have ruined everything.
00:10:42
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. No, and it seemed fine. It was it was rock solid when when you got we we got around to actually doing it.
00:10:47
echo_blades
Yeah. Yeah. But again, man, or not again, I should say for clarity, big, big shout out to my personal sharpening assistant, Dennis Terrell, Knifework Sharpening Services, ala who helped me get that.
00:11:10
echo_blades
You sharpened a couple of them for me.
00:11:10
Denis Tyrell
Well, I...
00:11:13
Denis Tyrell
three three of them three of them
00:11:14
echo_blades
Yeah, three of them. Yeah, because I left two of them there while I was there. because my ah I finally got the damn air fixed up in the shop now. So I'll figure out that whole...
00:11:28
Denis Tyrell
oh they have the airline I suit you mean yeah mm-hmm
00:11:30
echo_blades
Yeah, because I was going back to the to the wicked edge for a while, just for like my own desire, but that doesn't lend itself to having to sharpen a couple in a short period of time.
00:11:40
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:11:42
Denis Tyrell
yeah and you you have the you've you have my old wicked edge go which is not really meant for big knives you can do it but it's kind of a pain in the ass yeah
00:11:50
echo_blades
Yes. Yeah, it is. But I did one of them on it. Um, so yeah, I got it. Long story short, I ended up getting four, four done, um, and delivered by Christmas. And then, man, the, the best part about that was, well, the money was cool.
00:12:12
echo_blades
Um, that was my biggest, uh, biggest payday, I guess you could say those three. And then, uh, But they went to people that I know and they were given as gifts.
00:12:23
echo_blades
And i got really good feedback from from both of them. I got a picture from the the family of three that they sent me.
00:12:31
Denis Tyrell
I saw the picture. Yeah, it was good.
00:12:32
echo_blades
And yeah, that was really cool. And then I talked to the the other guy today and um they they ended up um cutting up a big ass prime rib.
00:12:44
echo_blades
Like, you know, we were talking about like the, the, the bigger, they have like 20 or 30 people for this dinner.
00:12:46
Denis Tyrell
Mm-hmm.
00:12:50
echo_blades
And that, that knife was like the, the showpiece they were on. Nope. Can't use this as just for this and blah, blah, blah, blah. But the, the the son who who got it was, uh, loved it. And yeah. So all that stuff was real, like made me feel really good. And it's kind of like, uh, in recovery, they say that,
00:13:09
echo_blades
people that don't go to meetings don't get to hear about people or what happens to people that don't go to meetings. So I was applying it to knife making, like you don't, you know, as a maker, you don't get to receive that kind of, that, that unexpected feeling of of gratification.
00:13:15
Denis Tyrell
mm-hmm
00:13:24
echo_blades
Um, when you get good feedback and you see what you've made, you know, being enjoyed or, or well received if you don't make anything. So, yeah. It's kind of the same same thing that's been a while since ah since i've ah since I had that. So that was really cool. um it's It's still one of those things because I've so i've made knives and sold knives where I've never heard anything back from people.
00:13:46
echo_blades
Like, they're
00:13:48
Denis Tyrell
Well, that happens to me most of the time, Cool.
00:13:50
echo_blades
That's what I, yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, and I understand that to be true for, for a lot of people, but, um, so this was, this was extra cool to, to see and get the feedback, man.
00:13:59
Denis Tyrell
Cool.
00:14:00
echo_blades
So it felt good, man. It felt really good. And, um, um, fired up still. So,
00:14:08
Denis Tyrell
So I did something really dumb shipping and it was the, when did I ship that out? The 22nd would have been Monday. He uh, So Tuesday I shipped a sand shark and, um, one of those four chef knives, different, two different people.
00:14:33
echo_blades
You sent him to the wrong place.
00:14:33
Denis Tyrell
Crisscross the labels.
00:14:34
echo_blades
Oh.
00:14:38
Denis Tyrell
I get it's the first time I've ever done this. And I get an email from the guy going, i got my shipment, but instead of a sand shark, it was a chef knife. was like,
00:14:53
Denis Tyrell
And then I reached out to the guy that was supposed to get the knife and got the sand shark. And he's actually not at home, which sucks. He's away. He's ah traveling for a week. So he can't even. so i'm have to send these guys labels to send them to the other guy.
00:15:10
Denis Tyrell
so but they're both being very nice about it, even though I messed it up. So.
00:15:15
echo_blades
Oh, that sucks.
00:15:16
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, it's just annoying to to have to do it. but i'll get it I'll get it worked out.
00:15:22
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:15:24
echo_blades
That's... I don't even... I want to make fun of you, but yeah that sucks.
00:15:29
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Well, at least at least it wasn't like this is something that was not going to arrive for Christmas, so it's not like this was a Christmas present or anything like that.
00:15:30
echo_blades
That's one of those...
00:15:37
echo_blades
That would have been a major bummer.
00:15:38
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, that would have sucked.
00:15:39
echo_blades
Yeah, that... Yeah. that You can't fix that.
00:15:41
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. No. but
00:15:44
echo_blades
So if there's anything good there, yeah.

Oh, my God. They are just whiny little like, oh, I can't believe my kids have been away for a week and a half. And it was just I get that they miss their kids. But really, you got to put that shit on Facebook.

Make it about them.
00:18:28
echo_blades

00:18:35
Denis Tyrell
But um yeah, he's doing he's doing really well. And yeah, he's getting through it. He does say, you know, it's a little bit like being in jail. Not that he would know. but I said, yeah.
00:18:45

00:18:49
Denis Tyrell
yeah I don't live in a gated community. Yeah.
00:18:54
echo_blades
It's hard behind the bars of a gated community.

And that wasn't until, like, 14. it was almost five o'clock, which is seven o'clock his time. And I was worried I wasn't going to get a call because he said a couple of the divisions like we're messing up and not doing what they were told, whatever. and they got their calls taken away.
00:19:33
Denis Tyrell
Like that's brutal. So it's like, it's like being on survivor and not getting the letter for your, from your family kind of thing. So yeah.

00:29:57
echo_blades
a
00:30:00
echo_blades
What's that?
00:30:06
echo_blades
You've said that. You've said that
Bladesmithing Class Gift
00:30:09
echo_blades
several times now.
00:30:09
Denis Tyrell
Uh, um, I, so I had, so I had, uh, a guy reach out. No, he didn't even reach out. This is some ways of this has never happened before. Someone just went on my website and bought, um, a gift certificate for two people for a two day class, which a lot of money, um, out of the blue, never talked to me.
00:30:30
echo_blades
Okay.
00:30:33
Denis Tyrell
Don't know who this guy was. So I just see the order come through, you know, for you know, two, two day classes. And then, you know, I, so I fired off an email and say, Hey, I see you bought this. When do you want to schedule it? He's like, Oh yeah, it's a Christmas present. I'll, um, it's going to be a surprise. I'll reach out with, you know, and I think we, I think he had planned on the date with one of them. And then so the other one, it was a surprise for the other one. So it was, so it's today and tomorrow, um, Monday, Tuesday is the date of their class. Um,
00:31:09
Denis Tyrell
So he reaches out Christmas day. I think it was saying, Hey, here, um, here are the, um, uh, here are the emails of the people you can add to the invite to the calendar invite.
00:31:21
echo_blades
you
00:31:23
Denis Tyrell
I'm like, great. But they're like, I can't tell names from the email. So I said, you know, what are the, what are their first names? And, uh, the first names are Marie and Fiona. And I'm like, Oh, well, that's really strange. like A guy books bladesmithing class, a two-day bladesmithing class for his daughter and his wife.
00:31:46
Denis Tyrell
which I was a little apprehensive about because um you know you don't know what their interest level is going to be since their husband decided that this was going to be a good idea for them.
00:31:54
echo_blades
Sure.
00:31:57
Denis Tyrell
But um they're really great, really enthusiastic.
00:31:57
echo_blades
Mm-hmm.
00:32:02
Denis Tyrell
They have done glassblowing before, um but they were great. They're really great in the shop. um The daughter is 17, so it's not like she was like a little kid or anything like that.
00:32:15
Denis Tyrell
But yeah, they got through the knives were at the point of um they're fully ground, but they they were really great with instruction and taking taking instruction while forging and while grinding and dealing with tools they've never dealt with, like the surface grinder and things like that. But yeah, it was fun.
00:32:37
Denis Tyrell
And yeah, they were great students. And I think we'll be done early tomorrow because we literally have just got to put handles on. hand sand and sharpen and we got all day tomorrow so it should be good i'm looking forward to it yeah there are better students than jared is what are you reading you're like intently looking down

00:36:07
echo_blades
Oh, that far. That's awesome.
00:36:11
echo_blades
Did you figure out the, uh, the handle you end up sticking with that piece or do you get something?
00:36:15
Denis Tyrell
i think i'm gonna go with that piece of ivory that uh that i showed you i i shrunk the blade about an inch and i think it's dainty enough that a little bit smaller handle is going to be fine
00:36:18
echo_blades
Nice.
00:36:29
echo_blades
Gotcha.
00:36:30
Denis Tyrell
So yeah, it'll work out. Even if if it doesn't, I'm going to you know make that piece of ivory, and I'll look at it And if it doesn't work, I'll put that aside and use it for some other project. It will not go to waste.
00:36:40
echo_blades
Gotcha. Yeah.
00:36:42
Denis Tyrell
But yes, yes.
00:36:42
echo_blades
That's an expensive waste if you did.
00:36:46
Denis Tyrell
um
00:36:46
echo_blades
Yeah. I heard you talking to, to our good buddy, Rick Hall and the the number you dropped for, you know, what what would be expected for a new piece of that?
00:36:58
echo_blades
i was just like, good i got what, wa what,
00:37:01
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. and it's I don't have a good source. So if any of you listeners have a source for white block ivory, I'm interested to hear.
00:37:13
Denis Tyrell
Because it is really hard to find um blocks of... And I don't mean molar. I don't mean bark. I don't want scales. I want block ivory that that is very white. I know it's very expensive, but it's...
00:37:31
Denis Tyrell
Impossible to find. um At least I don't have a good source for it and I'm not buying it from some random dude on Instagram. We've had that issue before. Right, Rick?
00:37:44
Denis Tyrell
Rick, Rick, I'm needling you.
00:37:44
echo_blades
Yeah, Rick and his random dudes. Yeah, fuck. yeah
00:37:48
Denis Tyrell
Always give money to random dudes on Instagram.
00:37:50
echo_blades
I always get random dudes for the fucking white ivory.
00:37:56
Denis Tyrell
ah Is that what he calls it? White ivory?
00:37:59
echo_blades
That's what he got. That's his favorite term. I am so curious when I'm going to get the fuck you, Jared, call for that one. well
00:38:07
Denis Tyrell
What do you mean? You get that all the time. You just never answer it.
00:38:09
echo_blades
I know, but yeah. Well, I mean, I know it's coming, so mix it up a bit, Rick. Jeez.
00:38:17
Denis Tyrell
i always Well, you get them too, but I always get the random memes from or reels from from Rick that somehow are either giving me the finger or telling me to fuck off.
00:38:28
echo_blades
Yeah, for sure. Yeah.
00:38:31
Denis Tyrell
I think they're funny.
00:38:32
echo_blades
At least he doesn't give you freaking dancing Santa sack like somebody I know.
00:38:38
Denis Tyrell
That one was pretty good, too. I like that one.
00:38:42
Denis Tyrell
You know who doesn't give you the finger? Mr. Coy Baker from Baker Forge.
00:38:47
echo_blades
No, he does not. That is the sweetest man alive for sure.
00:38:51
Denis Tyrell
That was terrible transition into a read, but...
00:38:53
echo_blades
if
00:38:55
Denis Tyrell
Uh, if you guys need some premium steel, uh, go check out Baker forge and tool, uh, to some of the most beautiful steel around. they just did an auction. i think that ended yesterday or today. I don't remember. I went and looked at some of those auction pieces and they were really nice. There was a couple that I was tempted to bid on.
00:39:15
Denis Tyrell
Um, but I knew I would never, i would bid on a piece and then I'd forget about it and someone would overbid me and I wouldn't, be I wouldn't show up in the last hour that you always have to for, for auction.
00:39:28
Denis Tyrell
So I didn't bother, but, um, yeah, go check out what they got, uh, available.
00:39:29
echo_blades
Yeah, that would suck a dumpster.
00:39:34
Denis Tyrell
I think they're still, I don't know if they're still running the sale. Um, but go check them out while you're there, get some gator piss of all of the varieties, uh, pick up some grime Reaper, uh, to get that steel clean and then some gator skin to, uh,
00:39:51
Denis Tyrell
Make it nice and protected and use the app ah to get an early view on what's out there. And as always, use the discount code TTT10.
00:40:02
Denis Tyrell
Everybody's doing it. All the cool kids. So
00:40:04
echo_blades
Yes, they are.
00:40:06
Denis Tyrell
so what
00:40:06
echo_blades
Continue. Continue to do it.
00:40:07
Denis Tyrell

00:40:08
echo_blades
Yes.
00:40:08
Denis Tyrell
Yes, continue.

echo_blades

00:40:11
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, so Baker Fortune Tool. Clean it at your protected. Go do it.
00:40:16
echo_blades
Clean it, edge it, protect it.
00:40:21
echo_blades
That is the way.
00:40:22
Denis Tyrell
yes
00:40:23
echo_blades
Yes. I beat you to the yes. Awesome.
00:40:27
Denis Tyrell
so you got any uh any big plans for new year's i know you don't but i'm gonna ask you anyway
00:40:33
echo_blades
yeah, that's, that was my note, but no, I, you know, I, yeah now I'm not a big fan of the, uh, of the resolution. Um, I have perfected the art of never fulfilling them. So, um, it's kind of a a waste of a time, uh, in my mind anyways, I'm not knocking anybody that, you know, is successful in doing that, but, uh,
00:40:55
echo_blades
You know, think my, if I was to do anything, it would, it's probably going to be more in the realm of, you know, some personal behavioral maintenance.
00:41:06
echo_blades
This year is more.
00:41:08
Denis Tyrell
See, I agree. I don't believe in resolutions.
00:41:11
Denis Tyrell
I believe in setting goals for the year, which is a very different concept.
00:41:12
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:41:15
echo_blades
Sure.
00:41:18
Denis Tyrell
Resolution means you you're doing something that you want to change generally is what a resolution means.
00:41:18
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:41:24
echo_blades
Yeah. Uh huh.
00:41:25
Denis Tyrell
Maybe I don't want to change things. I just want to do better and, you know, have some goals.
00:41:31
echo_blades
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they'll get in shape type thing and, you know, like all that crap is just, yeah, there's so many, the gyms are really packed um for the first month of January, you know?
00:41:40
Denis Tyrell
Yes.
00:41:44
Denis Tyrell
Yes.
00:41:44
echo_blades
And then, yeah, he just waited until February. They, they, then out again. Mm-hmm.
00:41:48
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. the The two, the two places not to go in January. One is the gym and the other one is the gun range because everybody got a new gun for Christmas and everyone wants to go to the range and shoot it.
00:42:00
Denis Tyrell
So January is always a terrible time to go to the range, but, uh, yeah.
00:42:03
echo_blades
yeah yeah i don't know like i said man it's just i think there's more of uh yeah some some more maintenance of continually my my never-ending goal to try to be a decent human being so think that's more of the realm mean i could give you the delay i'm gonna be a better knife maker and i'm gonna you know that and I'm going to shoot a, you know, 80 you know, but it literally, that's where my efforts are probably gonna, to be, um, try to focus on finding some happiness, Dennis, through this chaotic time, ah of, you know, being overwhelmed with a lot of shit that's out of my control. So,
00:42:45
echo_blades
That's kind of where put the effort when I remember to try to place it there um and continue my Choose Joy campaign. It's kind of where I've been focusing energy over the last couple months anyways.
00:43:01
echo_blades
so
00:43:03
Denis Tyrell
Nice.
00:43:03
echo_blades
Because we have a choice.
00:43:04
Denis Tyrell
um I haven't sat down and thought about goals for next year. I did a video on that last year, so maybe I'll do that again. But um certainly it's going to be some more, takes a couple more classes.
00:43:18
echo_blades
You know what, dude? i let me Let me backtrack here. Let me backtrack here. Because i don't I give you a lot of shit. right And I think that's what all four people or six, whatever we're up to.
00:43:28
Denis Tyrell
That's what they all listen for.
00:43:29
echo_blades
yeah so But I do want to say that ah you know there's um a couple things that that I admire and respect about your work ethic. And during this this resolution ah topic, um I remember last year being incredibly like, oh my God, looking at the notes because you are, you know, I think it was we were newer to the, to the podcasting thing and you were trying to make some, some content and you had, over the last couple of years, you've had some goals.
00:44:07
echo_blades
Uh, and in retrospect, if I go back through there, I can think, um, teaching classes was one, ah making a folder,
00:44:15
Denis Tyrell
Mm-hmm.
00:44:18
echo_blades
was another one um being less Canadian, which you failed at miserably. You didn't think I was going to fucking be all you know, hats off the whole way. Right. No, but then you, you really, you set those goals um and you accomplish them.
00:44:36
echo_blades
So I do want to recognize that because a lot of times, you know, you'll hear many people say they're going to this and do that and stuff, but you, you, you know what, I'll tell you what, for a window licker like yourself, man, you set your mind to something, dude, yeah that, that window gets really clean. so
00:44:55
echo_blades
yeah
00:44:56
Denis Tyrell
That's really clean. OK.
00:44:57
echo_blades
Yeah. Cause you're in.
00:44:58
Denis Tyrell
I was just scrolling back in our notes to see if I could find what. i'm no Oh, no, that's a few. Yeah, I'm not going to find it.
00:45:11
Denis Tyrell
Oh, hold on.
00:45:11
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:45:11
echo_blades
But I mean,
00:45:12
Denis Tyrell
Here we go. No, I did find it. Goals.
00:45:18
Denis Tyrell
2025, my goals were complexity, go the extra miles. um Every build will have that little extra something.
00:45:23
echo_blades
Fail. Fail.
00:45:26
Denis Tyrell
More build content for YouTube.
00:45:28
echo_blades
Fail.
00:45:28
Denis Tyrell
aye I don't know if i did that one. ah Very few customers build what inspires me and I definitely achieved that. And then more education.
00:45:40
echo_blades
and You did that.
00:45:40
Denis Tyrell
So
00:45:40
echo_blades
Yeah, you did. You took a shit ton of classes.
00:45:43
Denis Tyrell
yeah.
00:45:43
echo_blades
maybe it was the year before that you were talking about. It was after after Blade one time, too. But um yeah, anyways, it just hats off, acknowledgement for you to, you know, you've you've done a lot of things that you set out to do and continue to do so.
Reflecting on Goals and Resolutions
00:46:00
echo_blades
And I just want to say how in-fucking-convenient it is that you teach classes on all the times that, you know, we used to spend together. It's so beautiful.
00:46:11
Denis Tyrell
ah Yeah. And it's so inconvenient that you're golfing in the time that we used to spend
00:46:11
echo_blades
It's so funny.
00:46:16
echo_blades
Touche. All right. Fair enough. but, uh, all right. Anyways, fuck you back to, uh, yeah.
00:46:27
echo_blades
So yeah, I don't know, man. 26 is here. This was probably one of the fastest years ever for sure. i know they're not slowing down.
00:46:34
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I totally agree.
00:46:35
echo_blades
They're not slowing down. I remember a summer when I was like, uh, in eighth grade that never ended and that' that's not the case these days.
00:46:46
echo_blades
They're going by faster and faster. So, um, shit. We'll be here again next year talking about the lamb 26 was or how great it was, you know, for all you optimistic folk.
00:46:58
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, and we're already talking about vacations for 2027. Me and Kim were talking with my sister and stuff about, oh, yeah, doing something in 2027 and all the shit we have planned for 2026.
00:47:10
Denis Tyrell
I'm like, we got this planned out all the way to November already in 2026, and it's already giving me angst.
00:47:12
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:47:17
echo_blades
Wow.
00:47:21
echo_blades

00:48:15
echo_blades
I'm not good.
00:48:22
Denis Tyrell
I don't know what the slash is. But now, because we talked about how the engraving wasn't perfect on the last one.
00:48:33
Denis Tyrell
I'm going to be doing laser engraving because now like looking at that build I did with the, uh, the copper and the chef knife and how deep that was, I'm going to be doing the engraving in the, uh, fittings in this sword with, uh, with the laser.
00:48:49
echo_blades
Interesting.
00:48:50
Denis Tyrell
So that will be, uh, will be cool.

But it's really cool because they give out awards for like the best theme card and stuff. So anyways, he started this a couple of years back, maybe a year and a half or so. And it's almost ready racing.
00:59:37
echo_blades
And he just started an Instagram. page. So we'll shout him out to here. um He's got like 10 followers right now. So it's like brand new stickers still on type of account. um But ah I was I was chatting with him today about creating content and starting an Instagram page.
00:59:57
echo_blades
And i had a, uh, probably a a different take than it's a, it's a entirely different take than when I first started. Right. Um, I remember starting the journey of making and then, and the content creating and trying to grow your, your brand and all that crap, uh, and how intensely consuming that was.
01:00:23
echo_blades
Um, And how it just like it it actually became problematic for me. Right. So you'll you'll hear conflicting views about how it's necessary and what you have to do. And like, you know, some people's models are just post, post, post, post. post And, you know, and I just it's not my thing.
01:00:42
echo_blades
Um, I don't subscribe to that. I'm not knocking anybody that does. Um, I think there's a place for it. And, um, you know, if, if that's your deal, then by all means get after it.
01:00:55
echo_blades
But the thought that came to my mind when I was kind of explaining like well, this is what you do and this is what you need to do and what I suggest and what's worked for me and what I've seen work for other people. I was just like, God, man, I am so glad that I'm not like stuck in that right now.
01:01:09
echo_blades
Um, it, it, it, like I said, it was problematic. Like it became all consuming to the point where, you know, I was, it was taking time away from my personal life and my family. I'm like on my phone, you know, checking this and checking that and trying to, you know, and it gets in the way of, of like work too in the shop. Right. When you're, I mean, for a guy like you that's doing YouTube, right. There's the, it's kind of ah a little different, but for, for the IG, um, kind of method or whatever else you're doing for the short form content stuff, um,
01:01:37
echo_blades
you know, it trying to set up a shot and, you know, like it got in the way of like me actually getting stuff done. And so I kind of put it to the side and, you know, after some gentle, not so gentle hints from, from my family too. um And I've kind of taken a pretty good break. I think I posted something for the first time in a while the other day.
01:01:59
echo_blades
And I was putting the the reel together and I was just like super lazy. Like just meh, meh, meh, just send it out, right? Who cares? And i I was telling him, I said, ironically, some of the better...
01:02:11
echo_blades
performing reels or things that I've done are ones that I have put almost no effort into.
01:02:14
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. yeah
01:02:17
echo_blades
And the ones that I like planned and like, you know, really tried to do well on, they shit the bed. So I'm like, I don't know what it is, but, um, so if that's your thing, you're interested in, uh, in racing, go check out my buddy at almost ready racing on Instagram.
01:02:34
echo_blades
Uh, he's the theme of that car is Dr. Pecker. Uh, it's fantastic. It's well done. um and, uh, they, they do pretty good. Uh, so I wanted to just to, to shout him out, uh, and give him some, some encouragement there. Cause, um, it was funny cause he had, he posted a a video and he was just texting me a little while ago. He goes, I'm a regular content maker now. Right. Cause, uh, you know, you follow somebody new, they'll start popping up in your feed.
01:03:01
echo_blades
And I saw a video and he had like 15 likes on it of the car. And, um, I was like, so I went and checked his page. I'm like, last time I checked, he like five followers.
01:03:11
echo_blades
And then I checked again. He has 10 followers, but 15 likes. And I'm like, dude, you're on your way. i mean, that's the recipe, right? So there that means at least five people that don't follow you like this.
01:03:18
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
01:03:22
echo_blades
So you got your shit out there in some capacity, right? You keep doing it. Hashtags.
01:03:26
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. 50% more than people that follow you.
01:03:29
echo_blades
Yeah. Yeah.
01:03:30
Denis Tyrell
that okay
01:03:31
echo_blades
I'm like, that's a fucking ah great success. Yes. And ah so, um you know, while trying to be encouraging as somebody that's starting out and trying to do that, because, you know, it is fun.
01:03:43
echo_blades
it It's great to to to participate and do it. But I did have the overwhelming ah self-reflection of I'm glad that I'm not currently ah consumed by that right now.
01:03:54
echo_blades
i just I just don't give a fuck, you know.
01:03:57
Denis Tyrell
Well, I had a related thought this week, but it was kind of the opposite, to be honest. I was actually thinking it it was in the last two weeks where I've started posting on Instagram a little more often because I'm not blocked anymore.
01:04:15
Denis Tyrell
And i I kind of tested the waters by posting a couple of knives and none of them have gotten flagged.
01:04:16
echo_blades
That's
01:04:23
Denis Tyrell
So now it's like, okay, maybe this is real. Maybe they've really lifted the curtain on us and we're not getting flagged for everything.
01:04:32
echo_blades
Yeah, i don't I don't want my comment to be mistaken for I'm saying it's stupid and don't do it.
01:04:36
Denis Tyrell
No, I know it's not, but
01:04:36
echo_blades
I'm just saying in in excess it to where it was considered. I have that personality, right? So that's where I'm saying that it has an appropriate amount of attention in my life now.
01:04:43
Denis Tyrell
yeah
01:04:47
echo_blades
And I'm grateful that I went through that process to be here at this point where it's like, yeah, I have to do it.
01:04:53
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
01:04:53
echo_blades
I will do it. I enjoy doing it. But it's not like, oh, my God, I got to post through. got to do this. I got to do three times a day or blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:04:58
Denis Tyrell
Oh, I'm, I've never, I'm lucky if I post through three times in two weeks, but i want I want to get better at it.
01:04:59
echo_blades
You know, it just...
01:05:08
Denis Tyrell
I want to try to do a post a day. I never get around to it, but at least I have some ambition to do that now that my account is not blocked.
01:05:19
echo_blades
and that That's a great point. That's a great point because I did bring that up while I was talking to him. I was like, for for our community, there it kind of was stifled there while we were all getting...
01:05:29
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, for two years, we just got, you know, fucked at the drive-thru.
01:05:31
echo_blades
Yeah.
01:05:34
Denis Tyrell
Like...
01:05:34
echo_blades
Yeah. I mean, I went from...
01:05:39
echo_blades
I don't know, from zero to probably 1600 followers and in a year. And then it I've gotten a couple hundred more, you know, I think I'm at 18 something now and it's been in really small batches of like, you know, you'll get hot for a second and then it stalls out. and
01:05:57
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I went from like eleven four to like eleven seven or something like that in two years.
01:05:57
echo_blades
But yeah. it's
01:06:04
echo_blades
Yeah.
01:06:04
Denis Tyrell
Like it's ridiculous because I put no effort into it because I'm not like no one's seeing anything.
01:06:05
echo_blades
Yeah. It's, it's, still
01:06:10
echo_blades
Sure.
01:06:11
Denis Tyrell
But now now all of that's lifted.
01:06:12
echo_blades
Yeah. Sure.
01:06:13
Denis Tyrell
So I'm happy.
01:06:15
echo_blades
Yeah. it It was, it was cool. But I mean, like said, it was, it was, it was cool to be able to kind of, you know, to, to give some feedback and some suggestions and have that, that, that bit of reflection. And then, you know, but there's something about watching and seeing the spark in somebody that's
01:06:36
Denis Tyrell
Yes.
01:06:36
echo_blades
getting into a new, whatever it is, this happened to be, you know, like social media or, you know, uh, that you can't help, but be inspired, right. And you can't help, but you know, ah to, to want a piece of that, uh, that motivation or that, uh,
01:06:53
echo_blades
you know, that enthusiasm for, for what you're doing. And i always want to be encouraging to to people that are starting in that capacity because it's, ah um it's provided all kinds of amazing relationships and opportunities and and cool things that I've done over the past few years. But I'm, like I said, I'm, I was happy to,
01:07:14
echo_blades
to be able to be in this spot where I think it has the appropriate amount of attention for me. Um, and that's kind of where I want to end it. So that was it. ah I didn't want to let that go.
01:07:25
Denis Tyrell
I actually, one thing I forgot to mention, i actually had, um, I released a video this week and I made that knife that I talked about either last week or the week before, I don't remember with the copper, um, Todd Newmiller did that copper, um, lasering, um, which
01:07:35
echo_blades
Sure. Yeah. And thanks for the coin, dude. That, that thing was bad-ass.
01:07:41
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, the coins are awesome.
01:07:43
echo_blades
That those thing was really cool.
01:07:43
Denis Tyrell
but um Thank you, Todd.
01:07:44
echo_blades
Yeah.
01:07:44
Denis Tyrell
But um I did the video.
01:07:45
echo_blades
Yeah.
01:07:47
Denis Tyrell
And don't get me wrong. I love the knife. And I think it you know it was fun. It was a cool video. I was not prepared for the feedback I was going to get on that knife. like I thought people were going to, yeah, okay, that's cool. Copper, seen it.
01:08:01
Denis Tyrell
Amazing feedback on that knife. Everyone... love that. Like I was like surprised. i didn't think it was going to get that kind of feedback. And then I've sold like the day after I posted it, um, to a Patreon member, which was like, anyway, was weird, but it was great. I wish the YouTube video would have done better. Um, but, uh, I don't know what's going on with YouTube lately. It's just,
01:08:25
Denis Tyrell
Every video seems to fizzle, but that sounds like what what others have experienced after being on YouTube for four or five years. But I don't know if it's me or you know, I've heard owner Honor say the same thing, Caglar, that things just start to fade and, you know, you're not a golden child on on YouTube anymore.
01:08:47
echo_blades
Mm-hmm.
01:08:48
Denis Tyrell
But I'll keep at it because I like it.
01:08:48
echo_blades
Sure.
01:08:52
echo_blades
Yeah.
01:08:53
Denis Tyrell
But anyway, i was happy with that build and anxious to to use the second piece that Todd sent me, the one with the shark, which I think is going to be cool. And I might actually do that one with um powdered nickel in the shark.
01:09:10
echo_blades
Mm-hmm.
01:09:11
Denis Tyrell
I might fill the the shark with nickel instead of copper. I think that'd be cool.
01:09:16
echo_blades
Nice.
01:09:17
Denis Tyrell
So yeah, stay tuned for that one.
01:09:20
echo_blades
Stay tuned.
01:09:22
Denis Tyrell
So I got a few other builds to finish before I get to that. But I'm going to get this dagger done and get some knives up on the drop point for sale.
01:09:25
echo_blades
Nice.
01:09:31
echo_blades
There you go. Very cool.
01:09:34
Denis Tyrell
All right. That's all I got.
01:09:36
echo_blades
Okay. All right. Well, happy new year, everybody.
01:09:39
Denis Tyrell
Happy New Year. And we will see you. ah what's What's next year in Spanish? I was going to say mañana, but that's not it. um
01:09:50
echo_blades
Come on. It's Feliz Navidad.
01:09:51
Denis Tyrell
Come on.
01:09:54
Denis Tyrell
No, it's not.
01:09:59
Denis Tyrell
You know, what's going through my head, right?
01:10:02
echo_blades
oh Yes. The same thing that's going through my head.
01:10:08
Denis Tyrell
All right. We're going to keep that to ourselves.
01:10:11
echo_blades
Sure. It's not appropriate. Stay safe. Be smart. Take an Uber if you're out partying. Do all that good stuff. Come back home safe and we'll see you next year.
01:10:23
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Make smart choices as my wife would say.
01:10:26
echo_blades
Sure.
01:10:31
echo_blades
<unk>rero
01:10:35
echo_blades
rerero
01:10:42
echo_blades
And the next time I do this, i'm going to try to do it in Spanish, but that's a wrap.
01:10:45
Denis Tyrell
Oh yes. I want the phrase of the week from Jared in Spanish.
01:10:49
echo_blades
Okay. Yo tengo el gato en el pantalones.
