00:03:19
Denis Tyrell

00:03:31
echo_blades

00:03:33
Denis Tyrell
24.
00:03:33
Denis Tyrell
How is it I'm almost 10 years older than you and my oldest is only 22?
00:03:40
echo_blades
I had a very, very, very misspent youth full of excellent decision-making, her being one of them. But ah yeah, that's how it happens.
00:03:50
echo_blades
Did you just get after it?
00:03:51
Denis Tyrell
i thought you were just lying about your age
00:03:53
echo_blades
No. No. No, my status in life tells ah tells the truth. There's no harder no hiding that.
00:04:05
Denis Tyrell
well you're rocking the beard of a 60 year old so i was just wondering
00:04:09
echo_blades
don't know. So, hey, that's a great story. So last weekend or last week on Thursday, when I came by to etch those knives, we went to a ah dinner with Mrs. Echo Blades for her work.
00:04:27
echo_blades
her boss invited a bunch of people out to some dinner. Right. I had no idea what, where I was going to typically these things are like really, really fancy, like restaurants that I probably would never go to, on my own.
00:04:42
echo_blades
Um, and a lot of, you know, really very entertaining, insurance talk and, you know, bullshitting around, but, uh,
00:04:43
Denis Tyrell
Okay.
00:04:54
Denis Tyrell
yeah
00:04:54
echo_blades
As in case she finally listens to this one, it was just, that yeah, full of just the most entertaining conversations. Um, but yeah, so we ended up in this place called the Columbo club in Oakland and is an Italian social club established in like 1920 something.
00:05:12
Denis Tyrell
okay
00:05:14
echo_blades
it's like uh,
00:05:15
Denis Tyrell
bet the food was awesome.
00:05:17
echo_blades
and it's like a ah yeah know from from From a from a ah work perspective, like I have walked into like hundreds of these really, really shitty buildings that have these old school like big summer bell trusses, they call them, big dome type things.
00:05:38
echo_blades
um This one didn't have sprinklers, but I've i've had to do this a lot. So I walked in and I just instantly felt like I was about to start surveying this place and and go to work, except whole bunch of Italian, like apparently there's different regions and, uh, in Italia where they have all the, uh, flags from, you know, the different areas that they were just like, just a gang of flags. And they were all Italian though. And this big ass hall. So we meet the the boss and he comes up and he's like, you know, Hey, you guys want to drink? They really, they're, it's really basic here. You know, you you go, if you wanted like ah an alcohol ah beverage, they're going to give you like a shot of something or a beer. and you know no fancy like kind of bar thing.
00:06:20
echo_blades
And we sit in this ah they sit in this hall for like 40 minutes waiting for dinner to be served because it they serve it like a fucking, like a Navy, like a ship.
00:06:21
Denis Tyrell
Sure.
00:06:30
Denis Tyrell
Yep.
00:06:30
echo_blades
It's like a giant hall. for I mean, hundreds, two, 300, like huge. And they pack all these people in there in the basement. So if there's a fucking like a no shit, get out, we ain't getting out. It's like the ghost ship fire ready to happen.
00:06:47
Denis Tyrell
I've been to places like this because there's a big Italian community and where I lived in Canada. So I know exactly what you're talking
00:06:54
echo_blades
It was a trip, man. And it was so fucking loud. and um But yeah, we hung around and then they just like served like a family-style dinner type thing. And i it was it was the food was crap.
00:07:09
echo_blades
It was horrible.
00:07:10
Denis Tyrell
about. really?
00:07:11
echo_blades
the bri The bread was fantastic.
00:07:11
Denis Tyrell
really?
00:07:13
echo_blades
I'm not like... Dude, like yeah are you an anti-pasta guy?
00:07:17
Denis Tyrell
Not really. Like I like burrata, but there's not really like the whole sliced cheese and meat stuff. yeah um It's not my thing.
00:07:23
echo_blades
so So every now and again, like there'll be some, some things that I like on those, on those trays and not, but you get there and there was this plate. And to me, it was two slices of bologna and a piece of cheese and a pepper Cheney. Right. And this big ass fucking table, like just so long, full of like bread. The bread was the best thing that there was there. These really nice rolls. It was in, it's cold right now. So it's like, I mean, cold for us in California, it's like, you know,
00:07:54
echo_blades
upper forties, fifties in the evening. And, uh, you know, he has, you had to put the butter in your hand to fucking, to to warm it up. So it's, I mean, I do that everywhere, but you know, uh, except that it's in the, uh, it's wrapped, not, I have done, but butter balls in my hand,
00:08:03
Denis Tyrell
real classy
00:08:17
echo_blades
but, uh, yeah. And then I'm looking around and, and all these people there, they're, they're taking this piece of baloney. It's not called baloney. It's, Like it starts with a B.
00:08:27
Denis Tyrell
don't
00:08:27
echo_blades
I can't.
00:08:28
Denis Tyrell
oh cat
00:08:28
echo_blades
What?
00:08:29
Denis Tyrell
um b b
00:08:31
echo_blades
Regola or something like that.
00:08:31
Denis Tyrell
i don't Oh, I forget the name of it.
00:08:37
echo_blades
Yeah, I don't know. they it's it It's baloney. I don't give a shit what they're saying.
00:08:42
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:08:42
echo_blades
And yeah, and you're supposed to jam it in the bread bowl. And then they come out and they the the they had risotto, which I don't think I've ever ordered risotto on purpose ever.
00:08:50
Denis Tyrell
really
00:08:51
echo_blades
Yeah. Like it was it was bad. I didn't care for it. The salad was kind of the same, but they were like, I was more impressed with the, with the, with the kitchen. But like, I mean, they had the biggest bowls I've ever seen in my fucking life. They were like, I mean, literally three feet deep, probably fucking four feet round. And they were just tossing all this shit salad in there.
00:09:14
echo_blades
um But yeah, it was an interesting evening, man. And I just was not prepared for it. And it was a school night. And they I guess they were running late. So we were out there till like 930 and which felt like I was like falling asleep at the table.
00:09:30
Denis Tyrell
Was someone at her work Italian? Like, it's a weird place for a...
00:09:33
echo_blades
So the the the boss grew up there in that area. And it's something that he's gone back to. they They've incorporated and he moved across the country to Florida or something like that. So he was in town and wanted to take everybody and share this like, you know, thing with him. He's he's a pretty cool dude. He's a...
00:09:51
echo_blades
he's a really cool guy, but he's kind of eccentric. So, um, this was like, uh, uh, a Carl thing is, is his name.
00:09:56
Denis Tyrell
yeah
00:09:58
echo_blades
Um, so not, was like unexpected for me to tell you the story, but not unexpected. If you knew the kind of guy that he was, he is.
00:10:02
Denis Tyrell
Okay.
00:10:06
echo_blades
And, uh, but it was interesting to me, man. I'd never, I never would have guessed that that's how we would have spent the evening. Best part about it is though, they do a raffle. And, uh, apparently one of the,
00:10:19
echo_blades
the sales guys bought a bunch of raffle tickets for, for the table. And, um, so anyways, they're giving out these fucking giant three foot long things of salami.
00:10:31
echo_blades
And I've never had one. I don't even care for salami that much, but I was just like looking at this fucking giant torpedo missile of a fucking salami thing.
00:10:43
echo_blades
You see them in the, in the, in the book or stores, you know what i mean?
00:10:45
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, yeah, needs some mal alone time with his big salami.
00:10:47
echo_blades
Like I've never, never had one. So, They were giving those away. And I like, I willed this thing. We, I actually won the fucking, a the raffle and got a three foot salami bomber.
00:11:02
echo_blades
Oh my God. No, my God, dude. The fucking fun I had with that thing was so great. Wait, I mean, no. ah I mean, yes, all all of the good stuff, the the the gestures, the thing. But honestly, I was like, we were in Oakland and not not the best of the neighborhoods either. And I felt completely fine. i' would beat some motherfucking with a big stick of salami.
00:11:28
echo_blades
California legal weapon right there. ah So, yeah, that was that was interesting, man. i had a pretty cool, pretty cool time there. But now I just, it's a week old now.
00:11:39
echo_blades
I, or I haven't even touched the salami, so it's still sitting there.
00:11:42
Denis Tyrell
ah It's dry aged salami. It'll last for a long time.
00:11:46
echo_blades
It'll last for a long. So yeah, there you go. But yeah, it was an interesting, interesting deal, dude. So um yeah, that was, that was after i came over and hung out with you and finished up etching the goose cutter.
00:11:58
Denis Tyrell
Wow.
00:12:01
Denis Tyrell
The goose cut.
00:12:01
echo_blades
which turned out to be fantastic because the guy that is buying the goose cutter also bought the, um, the forged, uh, knife that I had and, uh, he wants another one.
00:12:11
Denis Tyrell
Uh-huh.
00:12:16
echo_blades
And, uh, so yeah, I have, I have, yeah, there's a lot of shit going on here.
00:12:16
Denis Tyrell
Well, look at you, Mr. Salesman.
00:12:23
echo_blades
So lot of, a lot of big, uh, didn't say big, but you know, lot of money to be made. And, uh, so back at it and, kind of having to shift gears a little bit because now this one is dependent on this will be the, like, yeah, the biggest sell, I guess, you know, it is three knives, but um yeah, payday wise for me, it'll, it'll be the one, ah two out of three are made.
00:12:46
Denis Tyrell
But these are all knives that are made.
00:12:50
echo_blades
So I have the other one that's already heat treated and kind of bevels pre ground. So I just got to shift gears on that.
00:12:56
Denis Tyrell
witwood Which one's that? It's another chef.
00:13:00
echo_blades
Yeah. Another chef, another, i can't remember what the fuck I was calling them. It's, I think they're the reverb style, the the one with a little swoopy line, just like the goose cutter.
00:13:06
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, the shrew.
00:13:08
echo_blades
So, uh, the goose cutter, the, the, the, um, the wave cutter is the, probably the one, but yeah, so I got that.
00:13:15
Denis Tyrell
Right.
00:13:17
echo_blades
i got the neighbors to go. i got another one, another
Knife Making and Workshop Stories
00:13:20
echo_blades
intrepid order. I got to, uh, profile or Jared, another, um thing which I was promised myself I wasn't going to do but that I don't have a choice on that one i have to bang that thing out so yeah was a it was a busy time and then I fucking cut myself look ah you're not gonna be able to see this you see that dude this is the absolute fucking worst place to fucking cut yourself on the very tip of your middle finger yeah I never realized how much
00:13:41
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. ah
00:13:52
Denis Tyrell
I don't know. the thing The knuckles are pretty bad.
00:13:56
echo_blades
I don't know, but you don't fucking like, I, mean mean I feel like yeah this fucking thing would not stop bleeding forever.
00:14:04
Denis Tyrell
Stop giving people the finger.
00:14:06
echo_blades
It's not, I mean, you, you use your middle finger for fucking just like that, that pad right there to touch everything. I was, uh, later that night I was in the shower and I, uh, I had, I glued up and, um, so took a shower and I was brushing my teeth and everything.
00:14:19
Denis Tyrell
And then
00:14:23
echo_blades
And I was like, Dude, I don't know why, but ah it's Lynn is sleep, you know? So I try to do things that like with a nightlight or like the, the phone, a light on my phone kind of put down somewhere. So it's still a dark.
00:14:37
echo_blades
And, uh, I was just about to, you know, just finish brushing my teeth and I'm just about to jump into the bed. and I like feel like my hand. I'm like, what the fuck? I look over, dude, I look like a murder scene.
00:14:50
Denis Tyrell
From that little cut?
00:14:50
echo_blades
It had, it
00:14:52
echo_blades
It had broke open again somehow from, you know, the, the shower and whatnot.
00:14:55
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:14:56
echo_blades

00:15:00
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:15:06
echo_blades
I was dying. Yeah. I got a pillow thrown at me cause I was fucking laughing so hard with the fucking, and I'm a big bitch anyways, but yeah.
00:15:17
echo_blades
So, And all I did was ah I was was hand sanding a knife and just the the edge on it is is already sharp.
00:15:19
Denis Tyrell
yeah
00:15:27
echo_blades
So just a little slight soup. Ever so slightly.
00:15:29
Denis Tyrell
I have done that. Even...
00:15:31
echo_blades
I mean, so slight. Just boop and fuck.
00:15:36
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, that's that's no fun at all.
00:15:36
echo_blades
So.
00:15:39
echo_blades
No. But yeah, so that was, ah that's that. You tell me something now.
00:15:44
Denis Tyrell
That's good.
00:15:44
echo_blades
I just took up 15 minutes.
00:15:49
Denis Tyrell
Well, since since you've been doing so much in the shop, we better tell people where to get some knife-making material from.
00:15:56
echo_blades
Oh man, handle it.
00:15:58
Denis Tyrell
so what if you need abrasives, you need... sandpaper, you need anything for knife making, you should go check out Maritime Knife Supply for all of your knife making needs, even glue to seal up cuts.
00:16:13
Denis Tyrell
They've got it all.
00:16:14
echo_blades
Yep.
00:16:15
Denis Tyrell
ah So go go give Lawrence a a hello and ah put some stuff in your cart. It's almost Christmas.
00:16:20
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:16:20
Denis Tyrell
You need to buy stuff for that knife maker in your life.
00:16:22
echo_blades
Yeah. And all those Hathians. Yeah, Hothians can still take advantage of all that awesome steel that he just restocked on too. So, um yeah, go get after it.
00:16:30
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Yeah. no Yeah. what's What's happened? Oh, um so last weekend when um Cameron was here, my stepson, the one that's in the Navy, ah he was telling me he he also has a Jeep.
00:16:46
Denis Tyrell
He's got a Wrangler. And he was saying, oh, yeah, I was going to duck my Jeep. I'm like, and I told him, and all the years I've had the Jeep, I've never been ducked. I've never come back to my Jeep and had a duck on it.
00:17:01
Denis Tyrell
And then
00:17:01
echo_blades
we remember
00:17:02
Denis Tyrell
The next day, I'm at the bank. I come back to the car. I'm with Logan, and there's fucking duck on my Jeep. And I'm like, did Cameron?
00:17:12
Denis Tyrell
like there's no He was out of town, so I know it wasn't him. And it was such a coincidence that he told me he was going to. So I got ducked twice in two days, um which was really funny.
00:17:23
echo_blades
And, and you didn't make an Instagram reel for the, for the podcast.
00:17:27
Denis Tyrell
I didn't, I did not. I should have, but I was in a hurry cause I was with Logan and we were on our way somewhere, but yeah, I should have, but
00:17:30
echo_blades
you didn't even think about it.
00:17:36
echo_blades
Well, congratulations. You popped your duck, Terry.
00:17:38
Denis Tyrell
my duck cherry, uh, it was pretty cool.
00:17:40
echo_blades
if
00:17:44
Denis Tyrell
I had, um, Logan and Parker in the shop. Um, whenever it was Monday, monday last Monday. And, uh, No, no, it was Thursday. Whatever. Yeah, it was just Thursday. um Making sharpening attachments. And I've got Parker training Logan. Logan's my older son. And now Parker's the one that's going to the Navy. So I'm losing Parker as my assistant.
00:18:12
Denis Tyrell
And so Parker is training Logan. That kid knows a lot of shit and he's really good at training. I was very proud of him because he's taking Logan through how to sharpen drill bits and like everything that we do to make sharpening attachments and like use the mill and how to put stuff in the mill and how to use the go stop. And and I was like, man, that kid knows a lot after being in the shop for a couple of years.
00:18:39
Denis Tyrell
I was very proud of that kid. So hopefully he passes all that on to Logan.
00:18:42
echo_blades
Nice.
00:18:45
echo_blades
Yeah. I mean, he doesn't need it.
00:18:45
Denis Tyrell
but It was a happy father moment.
00:18:49
echo_blades
Yeah. He doesn't need his brother though. He'll he'll get that from just the experience like a little Parker did.
00:18:54
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he will. I don't.
00:18:56
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:18:57
Denis Tyrell
Logan just actually just got another job, so I don't know how much he's going to be helping me. So we'll see. He's not never really been into working in the in the shop. So I don't know if he's going to continue, but we'll see.
00:19:08
echo_blades
Gotcha.
00:19:10
Denis Tyrell
But yeah, other than that, I finished up the um Gradient Feather Buoy video that launched Saturday, um which was pretty well received.
00:19:23
Denis Tyrell
um So yeah, that's running. And today I put up, ah the well, I finished the the chef tweezers today and I put up an Instagram reel of that.
00:19:37
Denis Tyrell
um I was pretty thrilled how those ended up and the chef that's getting them, Connor, is pretty jazzed about them as well. And it sounds like he's going to be on...
00:19:52
Denis Tyrell
a cooking show or tv show or something like that and he may actually feature them and uh so we'll see i may actually make him a knife as well for uh he he want he may want a knife um so working on that but i love the way the tweezers came out they were a little challenging to get the right springiness on them but they were pretty fun they did come up with
00:20:16
echo_blades
Dude, you did fantastic. You did fantastic. I don't i was just thinking about like, well how would I act if you walked away for a minute and then to keep going? I just had to use the bathroom. It was like level 12. My teeth were floating.
00:20:29
echo_blades
And I told him, keep going. And I could hear him like, and it's
00:20:34
Denis Tyrell
ah
00:20:35
echo_blades
Like a solo podcast is for like super advanced podcasters.
00:20:35
Denis Tyrell
Hey.
00:20:39
Denis Tyrell
Uh,
00:20:40
echo_blades
We may know a couple out there, but like, I'm not into that shit. I don't care to sit here and listen to myself jabber for 14 hours about absolutely nothing and pretend that it's cool.
00:20:51
echo_blades
But and anyways, like you did great, dude. Like I i've just just had to say that I was proud you. Those fucking tweezers came down to about a sixteenth of the size that I saw them with.
00:21:04
echo_blades
Dude, you thinned the shit out of them.
00:21:04
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I told you they were going to come down.
00:21:07
echo_blades
I was so nervous. I was like, this motherfucker's making chopsticks. He ain't making tweezers. He's making Damascus chopsticks.
00:21:12
Denis Tyrell
yeah Now remember, because I didn't want them to... Because if they twisted or warped in the quench, they were going to be really fucking hard to get back to...
00:21:24
Denis Tyrell
like the wi Because I couldn't use a straightening hammer on them. I would have had to do a billion shim temper. I just didn't want to have to deal with that. So...
00:21:32
echo_blades
I don't... didn't understand the, that whole theory until actually seeing them done. So yeah I think it was a good choice because that things yeah they were like fricking Roblox style tweezers.
00:21:38
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Yeah.
00:21:45
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. But now they look like tweezers, right?
00:21:47
echo_blades
Now they look like tweezers. They're still big, but yeah.
00:21:48
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:21:50
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:21:50
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Well, they're they're for big pieces of protein. So it's what he wanted.
00:21:54
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:21:54
Denis Tyrell
I got all the specs from from Connor on exactly what he wanted and the size and the gap and all that kind of stuff. so
00:22:02
echo_blades
Nice.
00:22:03
Denis Tyrell
But yeah, those are done.
00:22:03
echo_blades
And then it might get featured. That's cool.
00:22:06
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, they'll get shipped out tomorrow. um Yeah, so it was a fun little project. Something different, right? good to work
00:22:15
echo_blades
Absolutely.
00:22:16
Denis Tyrell
Good to work on something else for a change that I didn't have to put a handle on or something like that.
00:22:21
echo_blades
you
00:22:22
Denis Tyrell
But, yeah.
00:22:23
echo_blades
Yeah, that's that's a big deal.
00:22:26
Denis Tyrell
And I've been playing with, for the last couple of days, with that...
00:22:30
echo_blades
your yourself okay yeah okay yeah
00:22:33
Denis Tyrell
Well, yeah, maybe that too, but ah the X laser lab, uh, X one pro, um, laser welder, cutter, cleaner.
00:22:44
Denis Tyrell
ah that thing is so fucking fun. It is so much fun to use that. I gotta have you give it a shot. Uh, I even, even.
00:22:52
echo_blades
okay i saw the video of it it looked fucking really cool i i when i saw it i was like I think I saw it on Thursday night or whatever. of you hadn't set it up yet though?
00:23:00
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:23:03
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, no, it's because I got the wire. So the the wire that's in it, did you see the little Instagram video I did of me making the little TK? So that's only with 30 thou wire, like the same MIG wire that we use, which is actually pretty thin because laser welders don't, they don't use as much wire.
00:23:12
echo_blades
Mm-hmm.
00:23:18
echo_blades
Mm-hmm.
00:23:21
echo_blades
Mm-hmm.
00:23:26
Denis Tyrell
Like the wire doesn't feed, like the reason you get such a big puddle with make, it feeds a lot of wire compared to how fast the laser feeds wire.
00:23:26
echo_blades
Okay.
00:23:32
echo_blades
OK. OK.
00:23:35
Denis Tyrell
So the the lines on the laser are really, really thin. They're like not even an eighth of an inch wide. the actual laser bead.
00:23:47
Denis Tyrell
So, um, I ordered just to get some wider ones. I ordered some, uh, 45 thou wire, which seems huge, but, uh, people say that, yeah, you should use much bigger wire with, uh, with a laser welder to get a similar weld.
00:24:02
Denis Tyrell
Um, but it's so cool. Like it wants to, it wants to weld in a perfectly straight line.
00:24:10
echo_blades
Hmm.
00:24:10
Denis Tyrell
Like it,
00:24:11
echo_blades
So the little, uh, the, the red laser dot is where you you're like focused putting, um, that's a guide or something like that.
00:24:15
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:24:18
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Yeah. And it, and it's, it pushes like it's, it's such a weird feeling when you first do it. It's not like MIG you have to kind of hover and you know, in this, you, you literally touching the steel with the laser.
00:24:34
Denis Tyrell
Cause there has to be a connection. That's like a safety thing.
00:24:37
echo_blades
Okay.
00:24:38
Denis Tyrell
So the wire coming out pushes the gun. And then the laser is just melting that wire and the base metal together.
00:24:43
echo_blades
Oh.
00:24:49
echo_blades
Oh.
00:24:49
Denis Tyrell
And it it pushes the gun in a perfectly straight line. So you cannot help but do like a perfectly straight weld.
00:24:56
echo_blades
Yeah, no Cs or zigzag.
00:24:56
Denis Tyrell
it's None of that. Yeah, none of that. it just goes...
00:25:02
echo_blades
How does the bead look? Like you're stacking dimes or like automatically?
00:25:05
Denis Tyrell
It looks perfect.
00:25:06
echo_blades
Is this perfect?
00:25:07
Denis Tyrell
I mean, like I said, it's narrow um because of the width of the wire. I i i have the 45 thou wire, but then I just ran out of argon today, so I need to get some argon. But I'll be trying it tomorrow. But I was welding stuff together um like I was whacking on it with a hammer. I could not get it to break apart.
00:25:28
echo_blades
Hmm. Nice.
00:25:28
Denis Tyrell
So it's it's pretty solid. and the And then I played with the cutter.
00:25:31
echo_blades
nice
00:25:35
Denis Tyrell
And that my first, it totally spaced and thought that i forgot that the cutter is like, um it's similar to plasma where you need a lot of air pressure.
00:25:48
Denis Tyrell
But I was using argon because I forgot to change it to compressed air. And it was like cutting like shit with argon. And then as soon as I was like, oh shit, yeah, I have to use compressed to air and i have to have a lot of pressure.
00:26:00
echo_blades
Oh,
00:26:00
Denis Tyrell
And as soon as I changed that, it cut 16th inch um because I had some 16th inch steel and I had it on like that big plate that I use for the like my welding. And I'm cutting it, but that it's so powerful that it's going right through the 16th inch and it's welding it to the plate underneath.
00:26:24
echo_blades
shit
00:26:25
Denis Tyrell
um So there's some things like you got to be careful of, like because it'll... And then I'm like, oh, I know. I'll take a piece of wood.
00:26:32
echo_blades
cut your Cut your table.
00:26:34
Denis Tyrell
No, I'm serious.
00:26:36
echo_blades
so
00:26:38
Denis Tyrell
So like that plate underneath is like three-eighths. So I know it's not going to go through that. But at one point I'm like, oh, well, I don't want i don't want it to hit any of the metal or weld to the metal underneath. I'll just put a piece of wood. And it's like half-inch piece of wood.
00:26:54
Denis Tyrell
It smokes through that wood. Like the laser just like goes through that wood like it's butter.
00:27:00
echo_blades
Jeez.
00:27:01
Denis Tyrell
it's It's scary how powerful a 700 watt laser is.
00:27:05
echo_blades
Wow.
00:27:06
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. But it's it's really fun. It'll cut. And then once I got it dialed in and I knew what I was doing, it'll cut eighth inch steel, no problem.
00:27:14
echo_blades
Hmm.
00:27:15
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. So I was cutting 1095 with the laser, like, easily. So that's pretty cool.
00:27:24
echo_blades
Very cool.
00:27:25
Denis Tyrell
I just don't have the setup, like the water with, like, the like the rails.
00:27:29
echo_blades
So it's, it's not plasma cutting. Like,
00:27:33
Denis Tyrell
No, no, it's a laser. It's a laser cutting.
00:27:38
Denis Tyrell
Plasma is like the equivalent of like an arc welder, right?
00:27:38
echo_blades
Okay.
00:27:42
echo_blades
Okay. So that's the one you can't use on our on our steel, right?
00:27:42
Denis Tyrell
Using an arc.
00:27:44
echo_blades
Because that'll...
00:27:46
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, it has a heat a big heat affected zone.
00:27:46
echo_blades
It like potentially hardens it. Yeah.
00:27:49
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:27:50
echo_blades
Gotcha.
00:27:50
Denis Tyrell
But the laser is so thin, the heat affected zone is tiny.
00:27:56
echo_blades
Gotcha.
00:27:56
Denis Tyrell
Like really tiny. um In fact, the... you almost can't see like when when you do a line with the laser it's a really really thin line
00:28:07
echo_blades
So is it like cut profile out accurate or is it straight line use?
00:28:11
Denis Tyrell
you could um i need to play with the problem right now is um like And I'm going to do this probably for the video. the My problem is I don't have something to put the steel on, like you know like a water table that has like the and the metal slats.
00:28:30
echo_blades
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:28:31
Denis Tyrell
You know what i'm talking about? If I had something like that and I could clamp it down, then it would be easy to kind of put the template down and kind of draw around it.
00:28:32
echo_blades
Yeah, I do.
00:28:38
echo_blades
mean Gotcha.
00:28:40
Denis Tyrell
So really it's like that, it's that setup that's a little hard.
00:28:41
echo_blades
Yeah,
00:28:45
Denis Tyrell
I'll figure something out that is safe and I can do it for the video, but it'll definitely, like that's what I plan on doing is taking one of my metal templates and just drawing around it.
00:28:58
echo_blades
yeah that's what i was, that'd be cool.
00:28:59
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, yeah, that's what I want to try.
00:29:02
echo_blades
The manual CNC.
00:29:02
Denis Tyrell
But yeah, exactly. And you could take this and put it on a gantry. because it's just a it's just a trigger right there's you just have to wire that trigger to um you know your it's an on off you don't you would have to lower right you have to be able to lower it and then move it around like it's really not hard you can put it on any kind of controllable gantry and even if you had a cheap
00:29:09
echo_blades
Oh, well,
00:29:31
Denis Tyrell
like a gantry laser and just replace the head with, with that one. Even if you just like when you started and you like lock to the trigger on, you put a little piece of tape over it and then you hit go, it would, it would cut out the profile.
00:29:46
echo_blades
So you could cut bars of steel for Damascus.
00:29:46
Denis Tyrell
So.
00:29:49
echo_blades
That's, that's a quick way to doing it without a bandsaw.
00:29:53
Denis Tyrell
Um, well, but it won't, it won't cut three sixteens. I mean, it would have a really, maybe if you were on it would cut it if it was on a CNC, but.
00:30:02
echo_blades
No, no, like your, your, your prep material for your like eighth inch pieces.
00:30:02
Denis Tyrell
like
00:30:07
Denis Tyrell
Sure.
00:30:07
echo_blades
You got 48 inch bar.
00:30:08
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, you could cut it.
00:30:09
echo_blades
You want to cut those in the six inches that you could just no more bandsaw.
Laser Cutting and Workshop Innovations
00:30:13
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, you could cut it. I don't know that it would be faster because there's a little bit of like a, like a, droves or whatever they call it um like yeah there's a little bit of that but said the same to see
00:30:23
echo_blades
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, gotcha.
00:30:28
echo_blades
It would go through faster, but you a burr, basically, you'd have cleanup to do it on the edge.
00:30:32
Denis Tyrell
yeah there'd be a burr you got to clean off yeah but i mean you would probably like if it's inch and a half wide you could do that in like three seconds four seconds
00:30:33
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:30:41
echo_blades
Do you know? I gotcha. So if you don't want to use a bandsaw, you're not in Canada and being able to take advantage of Lawrence's pre-cut steel for Damascus pieces and you're just like fuck this I just I want to go buy some awesome pattern welded steel where would you go
00:31:02
Denis Tyrell
I would go talk to my boy, Coy Baker at Baker Forge and Tool.
00:31:06
echo_blades
me too yes yep he's got it all and right now for all year did the mega mega mega sale yes they are true
00:31:07
Denis Tyrell
That's who I would talk to.
00:31:13
Denis Tyrell
The mega sale.
00:31:18
Denis Tyrell
Don't buy the chair. You only need the edge.

echo_blades
i like that. That's a great idea. That's very cool. Shit. And then when you're done making all that steel, you're going to need to protect it. Your handles, the blade itself, all of that good stuff.
00:35:09
echo_blades
Go check out Pelican Pace. Travis right now is having a mega, mega, mega, mega sale as well.

00:35:49
echo_blades
All four of you. Happy Thanksgiving and take advantage of this.
00:35:54
Denis Tyrell
So I got ask what what comprises Thanksgiving dinner at the Sandoval household?
00:36:02
echo_blades
Dude, that's a fuck.
00:36:06
Denis Tyrell
Is that a depressing question?
00:36:06
echo_blades
This year is, yeah, this year is a little, ah past couple years have been kind of, yeah, that is kind of a, so typically ah we would have
00:36:16
Denis Tyrell
Oh, is this?
00:36:17
echo_blades
we would have the, um, the dinner ah at my grandmother's house and we would do the traditional, uh, I want to say whites of kin, but there was really no, no can involved.
00:36:22
Denis Tyrell
Right.
00:36:30
echo_blades
Just, just the white side over here. We would do the standard Turkey stuff and trimmings, you know, the whole, the whole shebang.
00:36:36
Denis Tyrell
Oh,
00:36:37
echo_blades
So, um, but yeah, uh, in the past though, cause my, my daughter's birthday is today and a lot of times it, it is, it falls on Thanksgiving or around it.
00:36:49
echo_blades
So we've done, always did something at grandma's house, but then every now and again, we'd, you know, do a, a, a ah trip to Disneyland or eat, you know, Jack in a box on the road. We've done that a couple times. So, but we know, it oddly in the, in the Sandoval house or self, we don't, um,
00:37:13
echo_blades
we've done a couple of Thanksgiving things here, but we're going to keep it super low key. Like we'll probably have ah a budget budget Turkey with some budget fixings. And then just a small, yeah.
00:37:23
Denis Tyrell
what's a budget turkey like a turkey with one leg of on it or what
00:37:26
echo_blades
Yeah. Not a Tudurkin, but you know, like ah just a Durkin, just a one legged Turkey. Yeah. i like that. Maybe a Costco rotisserie chicken or something, but yeah.
00:37:40
Denis Tyrell
okay cranberries or no cranberry sauce is anyone in your family a cranberry person
00:37:40
echo_blades
Well,
00:37:43
echo_blades
I am not a cranberry guy. Yes. Yes. Yeah.
00:37:48
Denis Tyrell
okay
00:37:49
echo_blades
It's always there and I always pass. It's just not my thing. It never has been. You? You look like you just like bathe in cranberry sauce.
00:37:56
Denis Tyrell
I love... i Turkey is a cranberry delivery system.
00:37:57
echo_blades
I could tell you.
00:38:03
echo_blades
I could totally tell. i see you in a fucking...
00:38:08

Moon charging in that tub that I was in in the mountains of cranberry.
00:38:12
Denis Tyrell
there's There are two things that excite me about Thanksgiving, and that's the stuffing and the cranberry sauce, which I always make because nobody else eats it pretty much except for me.
00:38:24
echo_blades
yeah
00:38:24
Denis Tyrell
um Yeah. it I would be happy with cranberry and gravy-coated stuffing, maybe with a little turkey on the side.
00:38:36
Denis Tyrell
i would be happy as a lamb.
00:38:37
echo_blades
I like ham. I like, we, we have, we always have a ham with our, uh, with our Turkey as well. And I always go ham on the ham. So.
00:38:45
Denis Tyrell
ah Kim bought a ham, but I don't think we're going to, we don't know how, we're only having a couple of people over, so I don't think we're doing both.
00:38:51
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:38:51
Denis Tyrell
And she always says she's going to get a small turkey, but then she goes to like Winco and gets the, you know, 15 pound turkey. I don't know what the hell we're going to do.
00:39:01
Denis Tyrell
with it
00:39:02
echo_blades
You know, that's, yeah, that's funny. Uh, Lynn's, uh, work used to give turkeys out. for a while, but, um, that's the ones that we would make at the house and they were not the biggest thing, but they were always like free range, like, you know, sustainable free game. Dude, they were the worst turkeys.
00:39:21
echo_blades
Like I give me, I'm up. I'm like that with, with, ah with the steak too. You know I'm not into the, what is it?
00:39:26
Denis Tyrell
The grass-fed ones?
00:39:27
echo_blades
The grass fed debt.
00:39:28
Denis Tyrell
No, they taste weird.
00:39:28
echo_blades
yeah Now give me grass fed full of fat all the, yeah, just, yeah.
00:39:30
Denis Tyrell
okay
00:39:33
Denis Tyrell
I want the corn-fed.
00:39:35
echo_blades
The corn fed. Yeah. Just give me all the the horribleness. That's what tastes good.
00:39:39
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Yeah. The marbly, Wagyu-like fat in the steak. Yeah. I want all that.
00:39:47
echo_blades
I did drive by um a tamale stand set up shop, like a pop up tamale stand.
00:39:54
Denis Tyrell
where we We got tamales at one of those the other day.
00:39:56
echo_blades
And I and I was about to like go go in and say that we were going to have the you know tamales for there. But that's a Christmas thing, too. So.
00:40:07
Denis Tyrell
Kim's a sucker.
00:40:08
echo_blades
That.
00:40:08
Denis Tyrell
She will stop at the side of a road. like We did this in Mexico and bought, I think we bought tacos out of the back of someone's car in Mexico.
00:40:16
echo_blades
Not a boy. Not a boy. Not a boy.
00:40:19
Denis Tyrell
i was I was scared, but...
00:40:21
echo_blades
Yeah. That's good.
00:40:23
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:40:24
echo_blades
Yeah. But yeah, so we're going to.
00:40:26
Denis Tyrell
But...
00:40:27
echo_blades
Yeah. I don't know what's going to happen, but low key this year for sure.
00:40:33
Denis Tyrell
ah Good, good. Well, i'm might I might spend some time in the shop this weekend. i would like to... I got this W-2 kitchen knife that I'm trying to finish that I think the jamon is going to look really cool on. It's kind of wispy.
00:40:51
Denis Tyrell
um I'm going to do like the high Polish finish on it.
00:40:56
echo_blades
High Polish?
00:40:56
Denis Tyrell
come
00:40:57
echo_blades
Nice.
00:40:57
Denis Tyrell
Polish. and Yeah. Polish. The Polish finish. the um So, umm yeah, I'm interested to see how that's going to come out.
00:41:09
Denis Tyrell
I think it's going to be very ashy.
00:41:11
echo_blades
Do it Friday. Yeah.
00:41:12
Denis Tyrell
Do it Friday.
00:41:15
echo_blades
Because that's the day and I'm not golfing.
00:41:20
Denis Tyrell
I may actually start the Mega Dagger by then. I want to start forging that that gap. But, oh, I did get... i got my knives, my Waterjet knives from KnifePrint.
00:41:34
Denis Tyrell
So I should really start a few of those and wait.
00:41:34
echo_blades
Cool.
00:41:38
Denis Tyrell
Push the dagger. But it's one of those, like... Dagger's more interesting to work on than a bunch of kitchen knives that are just water jet cut.
00:41:47
echo_blades
But those, are oh, I guess if you're going to start on this weekend, that's not going to go good for your Thanksgiving.
00:41:50
Denis Tyrell
But...
00:41:53
echo_blades
So you could extend that Thanksgiving sale into next week and put those kitchen knives.
00:41:55
Denis Tyrell
What do you mean?
00:41:58
Denis Tyrell
Oh, no. They're for...
00:41:59
echo_blades
Gotcha.
00:42:00
Denis Tyrell
that's for chris Those are Christmas. Those are for Christmas sales.
00:42:03
echo_blades
Gotcha.
00:42:04
Denis Tyrell
But I should get a couple of those done in the next, like, two two weeks so they can be up there for Christmas. So...
00:42:13
Denis Tyrell
Maybe I have to push the dagger a little bit because it's not for anything time on a timeline. So I should do the right thing. And, you know, I probably won't, but we'll see.
00:42:13
echo_blades
Cool.
00:42:26
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:42:27
Denis Tyrell
We'll see. I haven't, I haven't done chef knives in a while.
00:42:29
echo_blades
yeah
00:42:32
Denis Tyrell
Like, like the, these kind of batched chef knives for in a while. So it'd be fun. I just ordered some new um carbon fiber, some fancy marbled carbon fiber today that I'm excited to take a look at.
Material Choices and Project Updates
00:42:50
Denis Tyrell
It's red marble carbon fiber.
00:42:53
echo_blades
That sounds interesting. You got me.
00:42:54
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I've never.
00:42:56
echo_blades
I think red and red and black with carbon fiber is an awesome combo.
00:43:02
Denis Tyrell
Well, ordered some blue marble and red marbled carbon fiber.
00:43:08
echo_blades
Nice.
00:43:09
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:43:09
echo_blades
I like that.
00:43:10
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:43:10
echo_blades
sounds interesting.
00:43:10
Denis Tyrell
It looks awesome. um At least in the the pictures that I saw, looks awesome.
00:43:15
echo_blades
Huh?
00:43:16
Denis Tyrell
And I got some of that like snake skin composite material.
00:43:17
echo_blades
Cool.
00:43:21
echo_blades
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
00:43:21
Denis Tyrell
And I'm probably going to join this with some grip tech from our buddy, Matt over at grip tech composites. I have some grip X that I'm probably going to merge and do like a, a um,
00:43:39
Denis Tyrell
segmented scales with uh grip tech in the back and like i like putting the carbon fiber as kind of like the bolster um so i think i'm going to do that with the a couple of these knives so um it's one of the reasons why i got those so that should be cool but if you guys want some awesome grippy hand material go check out uh grip tech official on ig and uh grip um
00:43:55
echo_blades
Cool.
00:44:08
Denis Tyrell
Grip Tech. What's their actual website now? Is it griptech.com? What's their website?
00:44:18
echo_blades
it's so Yeah, it's GripTech Composites.
00:44:21
Denis Tyrell
Grip Tech. We need to put the website link down here, but so that...
00:44:25
echo_blades
I don't know. You destroyed the the notes. They were all there.
00:44:29
Denis Tyrell
um But go get to yourself some GripX or some GripX 3D with the 3D printed pieces or some of the Limitless Color Edition for higher finishes. And use the discount code TTT10 for 10% off at checkout. So go check it out.
00:44:47
echo_blades
It's griptap.com.
00:44:49
Denis Tyrell
GripTech.com. Okay. Go there. Or buy it from Maritime Knife Supply like I did.
00:44:57
echo_blades
That works too.
00:44:58
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:45:01
echo_blades
That works too.
00:45:04
echo_blades
Yeah. So do do it. Do, uh, yeah, let's get together Friday. Cause, what I did realize too, was that I, I, so I completely forgot about fucking leak gate going on at my house that I have every single fucking airline in my shop is compromised right now.
00:45:08
Denis Tyrell
right.
00:45:21
echo_blades
And, And it sounds crazy, except when you have a grinder that has a air suspension ride belt tensioner. ah it it it It's causing some problems. And I, yeah, I didn't realize how much now I use air until I went to turn it on and everything was, i mean, it's like at least four spots.
00:45:45
echo_blades
I don't know how the fuck every spot just like,
00:45:46
Denis Tyrell
it Why you just repair it?
00:45:50
echo_blades
Yeah, because then I would have to stop and repair it and then not do what I don't want to do already. Like, I'm trying to maximize the time that I have in the shop for knife shit, not repair shit. So it'd be easier to go to your shop somehow in my mind.
00:46:02
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, come on over. We'll we'll do something. I think I'm going to actually, I think I'm going to go to Rick's next week.
00:46:05
echo_blades
I'm just bugged.
00:46:09
Denis Tyrell
We've been,
00:46:10
echo_blades
Oh, fuck, Rick. I am so fucking sorry.
00:46:14
Denis Tyrell
what?
00:46:15
echo_blades
Oh, I ghosted him. He called me and I was in the middle of something. I never called him back. Oh, I'm a horrible person.
00:46:22
Denis Tyrell
See, Rick, ah Jared is not your friend.
00:46:25
echo_blades
Oh, that's such a burn. Oh, my bad, buddy. That was not intentional. And I'm pretty sure he's left me a very colorful message about me not answering anyways. So but yeah I'm going to hear it. Holy shit.
00:46:44
Denis Tyrell
It's probably called me because I couldn't get a hold of you.
00:46:47
echo_blades
Yeah, that is fucking true. Oh, what a bummer.
00:46:51
Denis Tyrell
No, I think the week, next week, i gotta I have an idea of what we're going to do, um which I think will be a fun project. I think I'm going to take Parker and we might actually go fishing one day, which I think would be pretty cool.
00:47:06
echo_blades
You'll pass all the good fishing. I don't know.
00:47:09
Denis Tyrell
Well, that fishing is probably frozen right
00:47:10
echo_blades
It's closed. It's closed to your past the season.
00:47:15
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, well, we'd be fishing in Nevada, so I don't know what the... He's saying the steelhead and everything are just running now, so...
00:47:26
Denis Tyrell
I don't know.
00:47:27
Denis Tyrell
He was talking about Pyramid Lake and going fly fishing and stuff, so obviously that's open.
00:47:27
echo_blades
Oh yeah.
00:47:27
echo_blades
fun Yeah. Oh
00:47:34
echo_blades

00:47:47
Denis Tyrell

00:47:51
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. But, um, I don't know.
00:47:52
echo_blades
Cold, cold,
00:47:55
Denis Tyrell
Uh, last, last time we went to Reno, we got stuck in a, the hugest snow storm coming back. And that was in April. Is that when we went? I'm pretty sure it was April.
00:48:07
Denis Tyrell
Like massive snow storm.
00:48:07
echo_blades
Me? I didn't.
00:48:08
Denis Tyrell
no No, just Parker and I, we went to, we went to Rick's to pick up that, uh, disc grinder.
00:48:09
echo_blades
I don't go. Yeah. Yeah, I don't go there. and' go
00:48:16
Denis Tyrell
And, uh,
00:48:16
echo_blades
Oh, that's right.
00:48:18
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, massive snowstorm.
00:48:20
Denis Tyrell
Like, lucky I had the Jeep, or we would have been we would have been dead.
00:48:20
echo_blades
Yeah, fuck that.
00:48:25
echo_blades
Ducked. God, man. You'd have been ducked.
00:48:30
Denis Tyrell

Denis Tyrell
So, oh, well, if you're coming Friday, then I'll make sure i pick up some argon tomorrow so you can try out that welder.
00:48:39
echo_blades
Yeah. As of now, that's it. So going to do a shotgun tournament on Thanksgiving morning, my son and I for golf and the shotgun start.
00:48:48
Denis Tyrell
Any shotguns?
00:48:54
Denis Tyrell
I don't know what that means, but...
00:48:56
echo_blades
That's where everybody starts on different holes. They get as you can have a whole shit ton of people and then everybody starts on separate holes and you all start moving at the same time around the course.
00:49:06
Denis Tyrell
Oh, and you just... I see.
00:49:08
echo_blades
Yeah. Instead of waiting for somebody to go off, waiting for somebody to go off, you know, you get, you get a bunch of people playing all at once.
00:49:15
Denis Tyrell
Oh, well, that makes sense.
00:49:17
echo_blades
Yeah. So they can get home for Turkey, you instead of like, yeah. So it's a nine, o the eight eight or nine o'clock probably start time and then go. And then on the golf segment this week, uh, we come on, give it to me.
00:49:29
Denis Tyrell
Hold on, wait, wait, wait.
00:49:34
echo_blades
We went out on Friday because i actually had Friday off. And, dude, it was like i was just talking about this with the somebody at the at the golf course the other day that um golfing in the fog.
00:49:51
echo_blades
I've only done it. It's like Monterey is a really foggy place. Bro, it was the absolute.
00:49:59
echo_blades
You couldn't see the ball past like 15 feet.
00:50:03
Denis Tyrell
Well, how do you even golf in that?
00:50:03
echo_blades
Like it was that foggy. had, dude, it was, it was brutal. It was brutal. And I walked that day cause it was still car path and you know, it was, yeah, it was an interesting fucking cold.
00:50:16
echo_blades
It was, yeah, not, not that enjoyable. um I promise you that. Um, and then I like hurt my back cause that whole walking things for the birds, dude. I am, I've, I'm as much,
00:50:28
Denis Tyrell
You're doing an awful lot of complaining right now.
00:50:30
echo_blades
If I'm just trying to say how old I feel, like I literally feel like, you know, I am telling people that I'm walking 18 holes of golf and swinging a club destroyed my hips and my back.
00:50:42
echo_blades
Like I was, i was ruined. It hurts so bad. Yes. hundred percent.
00:50:51
echo_blades
Uh, but then on, uh, on the next day, we, when we went out, um, I ended up shooting my lowest round ever and I shot an 85. I was fucking so stoked. It was fantastic. Jared shit the bed, whooped his ass.
00:51:04
echo_blades
And then, uh, so coming home, I'm telling him, you know, how's it feel? You know, we're tied. Cause that's his lowest round.
00:51:10
Denis Tyrell
Nope.
00:51:11
echo_blades
And, and he's, it's been months since he's, you know, had me beat in that manner. Go home. I'm kind of walking around, you know, like, what's up, you know, the, the, this little mother the next day goes and shoots an 83.
00:51:28
echo_blades
Not even 24 hours, not even 24 fucking hours. He couldn't fucking have me.
00:51:35
echo_blades
I was, uh, and then he, uh, him and his, his, his other buddy, they're both 17. Um, we played around with our handicaps with a a guy at the course and they beat us by one. Cause I suck.
00:51:48
echo_blades
So I shot like,
00:51:51
echo_blades
Yeah, to Jared Jr.
00:51:58
echo_blades
Oh, man.
00:51:58
Denis Tyrell

Denis Tyrell
Most states can't do that.
00:52:13
echo_blades
yeah that's true. That's true.
00:52:15
Denis Tyrell
It's really hard to find a white golf ball with lots of snow.
00:52:15
echo_blades
But I'm.
00:52:18
echo_blades
Yeah, never had to do that. but finding in the fog was, you know, I guess it's different if you're good and you can like, you know where you hit it, but
00:52:27
Denis Tyrell
see I would have no problem because it doesn't go that far.
00:52:30
echo_blades
yeah, that's true. It was good times. Good times.
00:52:37
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:52:37

00:55:22
Denis Tyrell
Well, I have one and I'm looking it I'm like, I'm gonna do a video of like forging a tiny little knife, like a little like paperclip knife or something like that on this anvil. So I reached out to Hobie today and I'm like, is that thing age 13? Cause it's not hard. Right. I'm like, I'm going fucking harden it. I'm going to, I'm going to forge a knife on it. And he got back to me. He's like, no, no, those are only 304 stainless. I'm like, damn it.
00:55:50
Denis Tyrell
I'm still going to do it though. I've got a tiny, I'm going to get a tiny little piece of Damascus and I'm going to use Frank's little pin setter hammer.

00:56:07
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Right. I didn't even think about doing it for YouTube. i was just going to for Instagram, but maybe I'll do it for YouTube.

echo_blades
Yeah, dude for both.
00:56:16
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:56:16

echo_blades
That's right.
00:56:23
Denis Tyrell

00:56:31
echo_blades
Mm-hmm.
00:56:32
Denis Tyrell
Uh, I still love that drop away I did the drop away platen. I, the more I have now that I have that, I use that so often. i just used it to do, to grind the pins on the, uh, the little copper rivets on the tweezers.

Denis Tyrell
It was awesome. So easy. But get so if you need a 2x72 grinder, go check out the Fastback at Ameribray.com. And while you're there, take a look at the Hyperdisk. It is a disc grinder. It is a buffer. It is you name it. If it spins in a circle, it can do it.
00:57:13
Denis Tyrell
Even like Jared. Jared spins in a circle sometimes.
00:57:16
echo_blades

00:58:24
echo_blades

00:58:30
echo_blades
Oh yeah, that's here.
00:58:31

Denis Tyrell
Might even have a few people over maybe if you want to drop by just to see them out.
00:58:54

00:59:04
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:59:05
Denis Tyrell
I know.
00:59:05
echo_blades
was like, so, yeah. But yeah, that's ah that's pretty much all. All that's it. I don't have, I got a lot of shit to do.
00:59:17
echo_blades
So, And um I'm excited to do it.
00:59:19
Denis Tyrell
that's good. Yeah, me too. It's, uh, yeah, I'm thinking I'm going to have to get, if I'm going to Rick's next week, I got gotta to get busy on those chef knives if I want to get them done.
00:59:31
echo_blades
Mm-hmm.
00:59:32
Denis Tyrell
So, hmm.
00:59:34
echo_blades
Yeah. Who do you got for Maker Spotlight?
00:59:37
Denis Tyrell
Maker Spotlight. Oh, that's a good one. Yes. um So this week I have um North Idaho Knives. This is um Todd Newmiller.
00:59:51
Denis Tyrell
And I have a good story about this. Because if you look at the second post in his feed, so the one where he's lasering a pattern,
01:00:02
Denis Tyrell
So Todd reached out to me and he said, hey, I've got this cool copper technique. I'm wondering if you'd be interested to do it on a triple T. And he's obviously got a pretty good laser.
01:00:16
Denis Tyrell
And he lasers a pattern deep into a piece of steel. He uses that as his core steel.
01:00:23
echo_blades
Mm-hmm.
01:00:25
Denis Tyrell
I'm talking like a sixteenth of an inch. It's really deep on both sides. And then puts copper and then puts a like a cladding, but the cladding is only there to keep the copper from coming out. And then grinds down to the surface of the core.
01:00:47
Denis Tyrell
okay And then puts his bevel in. So what you can get are really, really cool patterns that are lasered. And then the laser is filled with copper.
01:00:59
Denis Tyrell
Kind of like what I did with the electroplating, but this is thick. And it can put really, really cool patterns. Any kind of pattern you can do with laser. So um he sent me, we've been talking over email, and he sent me a couple pre-lasered patterns that And even included some copper. So that was super nice. So I'm going to try it on my Triple T. I'm super excited about this. I think it's going to look awesome.
01:01:25
Denis Tyrell
And he did um a a laser of ah of a shark, like a really, really detailed shark with like bones and skeleton features and stuff like that.
01:01:36
Denis Tyrell
So it looks really cool. So I'm excited to give that a shot. but he's But he's doing some cool stuff. So a lot with lasers. And um yeah, he's got one that's got like a flowery pattern, like whatever, like third row.
01:01:52
Denis Tyrell
If you look at that one, that's a good example of what I'm talking about with the the flowers and the canvas leaves on a knife. So cool stuff.
01:02:04
echo_blades
I've been, I've been following Todd for a while.
01:02:06
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. I have too, but not this part, not the laser etching piece of it. So, uh,
01:02:12
echo_blades
Yeah. I think it was, uh, it's too advanced for my brain. Cause I didn't, uh, didn't pick up on the, uh, the ingenuity there that he was doing.
01:02:24
echo_blades
Um, But yeah, he's good dude. He loves the golf podcast, by the way. Just saying shout out to my man.
01:02:33
Denis Tyrell
ah yeah yeah
01:02:37
Denis Tyrell
But yeah, so go go check out Todd at North Idaho Knives, see what he's doing with lasers, and you'll see more of that in an upcoming Triple T. So big thank you to Todd for that.
01:02:47
echo_blades
Very cool. Yeah. Only 341 followers. Let's get, let's get them some love there.
01:02:51
Denis Tyrell

01:03:29
Denis Tyrell
Okay, you butchered that one, but.
01:03:31
echo_blades
How do you do that? Tell me you're the, you're the world traveling Quebecian, right?
01:03:37
Denis Tyrell
the be cutelier.
01:03:37
echo_blades
Say it. I said, Oh, do it again.
01:03:40
Denis Tyrell
No.
01:03:42
echo_blades
it again. do it again.
01:03:44
Denis Tyrell
Kutellier.
01:03:46
echo_blades
Cutler.
01:03:46
Denis Tyrell
something that
01:03:47
echo_blades
I always roll my, my R's cause I want to be Mexican too sometimes, but that was really good. Um, yeah. Uh, I was just strolling through my, uh, my feed and another one of these just, yeah, there is a set of not, Oh, it's way down there.
01:04:12
echo_blades
Um,
01:04:16
Denis Tyrell
The one with six of them?
01:04:18
echo_blades
Yes.
01:04:19
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
01:04:20
echo_blades
the What are those? Fire, the six-speed same design. want to say, like, they're not pairing, but, yeah, they're like, stay dude, those are badass.
01:04:24
Denis Tyrell
They're like... almost steak knives.
01:04:34
Denis Tyrell
see ah Are the handles not attached in that picture?
01:04:37
echo_blades
I don't even care. I hope they're not.
01:04:39
Denis Tyrell
No, it's just that the handles are...
01:04:40
echo_blades
i hope they I hope that's how they look, because that's intense.
01:04:42
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, no, the handles are offset. That's weird. It's cool, but...
01:04:48
echo_blades
Yeah. I think that is such a sexy, cool little, uh, the, the bevels, the facets on the, on the handle. Yeah. They're like, you guys got to go check it out. Cause they're completely offset and proud of the spine in a manner that looks cool, but yeah, comfortable in some weird way.
01:05:06
echo_blades
Nice. I'm going on there. Yeah. Really cool stuff. Um, but, he has, think he's a, yeah, he's got 7,435 followers, but, ah and yeah, and 70 something of, yeah, all four of our followers already follow him. So, but ah yeah, go tell a friend and show him some love and tell him the boys at triple T said, what's up?
01:05:34
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, he's got some cool stuff.
01:05:36
echo_blades
Very cool. Very cool stuff. So,
01:05:38
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Oh, I see, even see a Western handle. Most of his handles are, uh, oh, he's got a few Westerns in there. Yeah. Very nice.
01:05:49
echo_blades
Yeah, I just, that's that's where I'm, that's where my heart lives. Dennis, right there. Stuff I like. So, yeah, that's what I got.
01:05:59
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Cool.
01:06:02
echo_blades
And then what did you do for Triple T? Did you do a video?
01:06:08
Denis Tyrell
Triple T was on tapers, both distal tapers and tapered tangs, and how to do those, the tricky part of doing the... um And then using the surface grinding attachment, either the...
01:06:24
Denis Tyrell
um of course i i showed off the ameribraid surface grinding attachment which i consider the the rolls royce of of uh of uh surface grinding attachments uh and and i also showed mine like the homemade one if folks want to diy it themselves um Both of those work for tapered for tapering tangs.
01:06:51
Denis Tyrell
But I had a few people that um because I talk about when you do it the tricky part of doing a tapered like it's not actually tapering, tapering it with the surface ground attachment. It's easy.
01:07:02
Denis Tyrell
Like I've never messed one up. You just do it until you get the right, you know, you kind of mark it off and measure, you know, you got to do some measurements and things like that.
01:07:12
Denis Tyrell
They're not hard. The hardest part is getting the holes drilled because now your tang is tapered. And if you just stack up your, um your scales on top of the hole and just drill straight through, because the tang is tapered. Now you have almost like a V, like the holes will not be straight. I had so many people go, why didn't you just drill your hole before you tapered it And I'm like, i felt like saying dumbass, think about what you're saying. That's not going to help you. I had like three people comment that.
01:07:48
echo_blades
And those three people would be right in line with how Jared would think. So fuck off.
01:07:55
Denis Tyrell
If you drill...
01:07:56
echo_blades
There's a reason why I haven't done that.
01:07:57
Denis Tyrell
If you draw it on a piece of paper.
01:07:58
echo_blades
You say it's like, it only takes a couple of measurements and blah, blah, blah. But that kind of shit right there bends my brain. It makes, yeah, those are the things I make way more complicated than they have to be. And I'll fuck it up. That's why I haven't tried them.
01:08:11
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
01:08:12
echo_blades
They look great.
01:08:14
Denis Tyrell
Once you, it's just, you just got to shim it and drill one side and the other side. You have to do the one at a time to get them perfect. at That's the only thing you got to be worried about. Because if you just try to drill through, you're going to, your pins are not going to go through and you're going it's going to cause your scales to pop off.
01:08:33
echo_blades
Did you figure that out before or after you tried to drill them straight on?
01:08:39
Denis Tyrell
No, I never, no, didn't. I was thinking about angles before I did not mess it up in that.
01:08:42
echo_blades
You've you've forced you thought, okay. All right. Respect.
01:08:46
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
01:08:47
echo_blades
Respect.
01:08:49
Denis Tyrell
Cause I thought about it. I'm like, if I stack these, if I just stack two pieces of wood up and I drill straight through, when I put them both together, they're not going to line up or I'm going to have a big fat ass gap in my hole. Cause I'm going to have to drill them.
01:09:02
Denis Tyrell
It's, it's not going to work.
01:09:07
echo_blades
Yes, he said that.
01:09:10
Denis Tyrell
A fat ass cap in my hole. did Did that get you going, Jared?
01:09:17
echo_blades
and o i know there's someone else there with me. Okay.
01:09:25
Denis Tyrell
Anything to get Jared's attention.
01:09:25
echo_blades
All right. yeah I'm not paying attention anymore. I'm thinking about a gap toll. It's great.
01:09:35
echo_blades
And yes, I censored that. Yes. Okay.
01:09:37
Denis Tyrell
Yes. Yeah.
01:09:38
echo_blades
All right.
01:09:38
Denis Tyrell
But yeah, that that is what the Triple T was.
01:09:44
echo_blades
Okay.
01:09:45
Denis Tyrell
So yeah, I have triple Triple T's lined up for the next few weeks, actually.
01:09:45
echo_blades
And you just, you.
01:09:50
echo_blades
Nice.
01:09:51
Denis Tyrell
I'm going to do the the Todd Copper thing. I've got the laser. And I actually will be doing another laser video at the probably end of December, beginning of January, because I think someone's sending me a new laser.
01:10:11
Denis Tyrell
engraving laser.
01:10:11
echo_blades
Oh, condolizer.
01:10:12
Denis Tyrell
Like a big 60-watt engraving laser.
01:10:16
echo_blades
Oh, cool.
01:10:17
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. So,
01:10:18
echo_blades
Maybe you know someone that's down one.
01:10:23
Denis Tyrell
yeah, we'll see.
01:10:24
echo_blades
Motherfucker.
01:10:27
echo_blades
yeah Oh, that that's so good.
01:10:28
Denis Tyrell
we'll see we'll
01:10:31
echo_blades
That's so good. Deep in your heart, you're laughing.
01:10:33
Denis Tyrell
see yeah
01:10:34
echo_blades
That's so good. Yeah. All right. So what what we're going to heat treat this weekend for sure, right?
Equipment Endorsements and Shop Talk
01:10:41
Denis Tyrell
yes i need the heat treat i need to heat treat some of those uh chef knives uh they're like the european equivalent of abl whatever that is
01:10:43
echo_blades
ah Hands down. Yep.
01:10:49
echo_blades
What steel are they?
01:10:56
echo_blades
Oh. Okay.
01:10:58
Denis Tyrell
They have a different designation, but it's basically ABL.
01:11:01
echo_blades
Gotcha. Okay.
01:11:02
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. But
01:11:04
echo_blades
I have some ADCR V2 and some stainless to do. So, yeah, maybe we'll have an even heat party. What do you say? Huh?
01:11:11
Denis Tyrell
let's do it.
01:11:11
echo_blades
huh
01:11:12
Denis Tyrell
Let's do it.
01:11:13
echo_blades
Maybe we'll just take all of our knives and we'll hang them in that big 48-inch kiln that you have so there's room for them all to just dangle and we'll get them all scienced up and and hardened.
01:11:28
echo_blades
Because I, and so should you, love Even Heat kilns. If you're in the market for a new heat treating oven, make sure you go check out Even Heat.
01:11:38
echo_blades
They are a family owned and operated company since 1948, building the highest quality knife heat treat ovens around. Go check out Lawrence Lake at Maritime Knife Supply is a distributor. And there are a handful of other ones that aren't as cool as Lawrence, but they do carry the most awesome heat treat oven around. So go check them out.
01:12:02
Denis Tyrell
Do it. Do it now.
01:12:03
echo_blades
Do it. Do it now. And then ahead.
01:12:08
Denis Tyrell
I was going to say, yeah, um ah well deaf I'll definitely be using that the cool the water chilled quench plates. I actually might have another product idea because I was talking with a student.
01:12:21
Denis Tyrell
I might actually dip my toes into a a chiller oil. oil to keep your oil cool for multiple quenching might have a product coming up for that.
01:12:39
Denis Tyrell
So, uh,
01:12:41
echo_blades
you're gonna warm it up and then you're chill it, chill it down.
01:12:45
Denis Tyrell
I know, I don't, you know, parks 50 and you don't have to warm it up unless you're like, don't live California.
01:12:50
echo_blades
Right now we would, right?
01:12:50
Denis Tyrell
Uh, no. Well,
01:12:53
echo_blades
I thought it was like 70 degrees is the the range.
01:12:54
Denis Tyrell
three
01:12:57
Denis Tyrell
Uh, yeah, and as long as your shop is 70. My shop's always 70.
01:13:01
echo_blades
Are you turning the heater on on that thing?
01:13:05
Denis Tyrell
No, my shop's always warm. I go in there, don't even wear, i don't have to wear a hoodie or anything. It's nice and warm in there.
01:13:13
echo_blades
Yeah, you must be insulated or something. My shit's freezing.
01:13:17
Denis Tyrell
Oh.
01:13:18
echo_blades
It's 49 outside right now, and I bet you it's 53 in there.
01:13:24
Denis Tyrell
Oh, I bet you, I bet you mine's 65.
01:13:24
echo_blades
Easy. Hey, do you turn the heater on in your house?
01:13:27
Denis Tyrell
Never have once. Only in the house. ye we had We broke down. We had to last week.
01:13:33
echo_blades
We still have it. We fucking like, i I absolutely the most, the most just, I will set it the most not smart, stubborn person that has family members that, that just go along with it.
01:13:34
Denis Tyrell
What? You like snowmen.
01:13:50
echo_blades
But we were like Eskimos last week. it was like in the house. Which doesn't sound cold, but I don't, my air conditioner doesn't even get my house that cold, man.
01:13:58
Denis Tyrell
he
01:14:02
echo_blades
It was fucking freezing.
01:14:04
Denis Tyrell
I drew the line last week. It was 65. And I'm like, yeah Kim wasn't home. I'm like, I'm i'm turning the heat on. she's She's the heat, you know, she's the guardian of the thermostat, kind of like you are from the sounds of it.
01:14:15
echo_blades
Yeah. Yeah.
01:14:16
Denis Tyrell
No, i would I would have it at, you know, 70 all year round if it was up to me.
01:14:24
echo_blades
Yeah. I don't know. I'll break down. Cause I get cold when, when, when it happens, I'm like, ah, that's it. I can't do it. But our house is weird.
01:14:31
Denis Tyrell
Well,
01:14:32
echo_blades
Cause of the, the we have big vaulted ceilings in the front.
01:14:35
Denis Tyrell
Oh, right.
01:14:35
echo_blades
Um, and you turn the, uh, the heater on for downstairs, you walk upstairs and you're, you're roasting because all the heat is from the,
01:14:36
Denis Tyrell
Do
01:14:44
Denis Tyrell
you have a dual heat, dual zone system?
01:14:48
echo_blades
uh, no, I don't.
01:14:49
Denis Tyrell
Oh. So what we're we're I'm lucky in this house we have a dual zone system, so we can heat either the upstairs or the downstairs. Different thermostats.
01:14:57
echo_blades
Well, mean, I do, ah yeah we do have dual zones, but one unit anyways, not two fingers.
01:15:09
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I don't know how works, but it it only...
01:15:10
echo_blades
Yeah. I do have, I have three actually. we they Somehow the people that we bought it for dampened up the upstairs to make my bedroom and one of the the other bedrooms on the same thermostat.
01:15:21
echo_blades
But it nevertheless, does matter because the fucking...
01:15:24
Denis Tyrell
You never turn it on.
01:15:25
echo_blades
Yeah, but when we do, we turn the downstairs on and you'll fucking fry upstairs. It's the strangest thing in the hallway anyways. so
01:15:33
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, but that's normal normal. Normally houses are like that.
01:15:36
echo_blades
I guess.
01:15:39
Denis Tyrell
I don't know. I brought up a blanket. I got a blanket here beside me just in case it was like freezing cold up here when I was doing the podcast. But it's pretty nice up here now.
01:15:52
Denis Tyrell
What the hell? Jared's making love to his mic right now.
01:15:57
echo_blades
Somebody call him it for me. That's the most Canadian thing I've ever heard in my life. You got a blankie with you.
