00:00:45
echo_blades
What's up, buddy?
00:00:46
tyrellknifeworks
Hey, not much. Did you have a good birthday week?
00:00:49
echo_blades
Um, yeah, I did. It was, well yeah it was, it was different.
00:00:55
tyrellknifeworks
It was different. That doesn't sound good.
00:00:56
echo_blades
It, it was different for me. Like, how do you, how do you try to, yeah, I was going to say, but how do you try to have a sense of humility where, you know, it's really not about me and you know, but for years and years and years, I always make a big deal about my birthday.
00:01:02
tyrellknifeworks
It's getting old.
00:01:16
echo_blades
Uh, But I think the people that really mattered have all grown up now and really don't give a shit. And they're just doing maintenance stuff. I eat my kids. So it wasn't
Concert and Family Experiences
00:01:30
echo_blades
quite a thing. I mean, it was it was cool. I'd work. That's always fantastic. um Excuse me.
00:01:37
tyrellknifeworks
I would know.
00:01:41
echo_blades
I spit out my drink, asshole. Yeah, so I had to work. No big deal. Came home and Lynn always decorates the house for when we have birthday. So I had some streamers and some, you know, happy birthday stuff. And then ah we went off to, oh, to the concert. That's right.
00:02:05
tyrellknifeworks
That's right, yeah.
00:02:05
echo_blades
We went to go to to the concert, which was a really good time. I had a lot of fun.
00:02:14
tyrellknifeworks
Bobby Brown.
00:02:15
echo_blades
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, Whitney's didn't make a guest up. No, that's bad. I'm sorry.
00:02:24
tyrellknifeworks
Chris Brown.
00:02:24
echo_blades
Chris Brown. That's who we went to see. Yeah, this dude danced the entire time. Like I'm our already feeling old. But you see somebody like literally dancing and singing the entire time. Like I was tired from just standing there for like two hours. It was a long show. Um, but it was cool. It was a good show. I knew about half of the shit. Um, but I mean, to be honest, right? The, the best part about it was just being able to, uh, spend time with my wife and and my my middle daughter. Um, they had a great time and that was fun. What I do know is that Oakland, California is, is a trip and Dennis, let me tell you something else. I have been locked up being old.
00:03:16
echo_blades
for a long time, because I have not been out to an event of this type in a very, very, very long time. And I don't want to say the talent, but the people watching was like, eye popping.
00:03:32
tyrellknifeworks
Off the hook.
00:03:35
echo_blades
I have never seen so many
Monster Jam and Family Memories
00:03:41
tyrellknifeworks
where Where was it? Was it at the like the arena?
00:03:43
echo_blades
It was at the, it was at the Oakland, or Oakland, Oracle. Yeah. The arena. It was the, the freaks were out. Let me just say that.
00:03:51
tyrellknifeworks
yeah I was at the Oakland Arena today.
00:03:52
echo_blades
And, uh, I mean, Oh, where did you see
00:03:57
tyrellknifeworks
Uh, something, ah well, I think it was much more interesting, but, uh, part of, cause it was my grandson's birthday, uh, this week as well. And part of that was we took him to monster jam today and, uh, saw the monster trucks race around, uh, Oracle arena.
00:04:16
echo_blades
come
00:04:17
tyrellknifeworks
So.
00:04:17
echo_blades
Well, they're in the, the, in the stadium, right?
00:04:20
tyrellknifeworks
No, the arena.
00:04:21
echo_blades
It was indoors.
00:04:22
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
00:04:23
echo_blades
Oh.
00:04:23
tyrellknifeworks
That's what.
00:04:23
echo_blades
sh
00:04:24
tyrellknifeworks
That's what made it a little bit. I had never been to one of these monster jam things before. And so for everyone else, Oakland, there's Oakland Coliseum and Oakland Arena, and they're side by side. Oakland Coliseum is where the A's play, it's where the Raiders used to play.
00:04:39
echo_blades
Correct.
00:04:40
tyrellknifeworks
And the call in the arena is where, well, I guess it's where the Warriors used to play, right?
00:04:46
echo_blades
correct
00:04:47
tyrellknifeworks
um So it's basketball, so it's small. well The cars take their the trucks taken off like they they basically had almost no time to turn around They almost hit the wall about three times But yeah, it was it was cool And there was that I thought of you today cuz it was an A's game going out at the same time You
00:05:01
echo_blades
Wow. That's weird. I was just sitting on that floor.
00:05:10
echo_blades
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was, I was literally on that floor, uh, on Wednesday. And then now they're doing that dude. So freaks were out. The girls that I was seeing just, it was, it was a crazy show. I, I, I really can't explain it. Like it was off. It was off the a lot, a lot to see. Um, and the guy's more of a, you know, an R and B singer. So the the girls were more of his audience than, than anything. Right. So, and they were just, uh, screaming and yelling.
00:05:40
tyrellknifeworks
Of course, of course.
00:05:44
echo_blades
My mother beeping ears did not stop ringing. I made a, an absolute party foul move and didn't bring air plugs. Which I know better, right? I brought, my ears literally rang until probably like eight o'clock the next day.
00:06:06
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
00:06:06
echo_blades
It was so loud. And I can't imagine like, if you didn't have ears, ear pro for the monster trucks, cause that I've been, Jared and I used to go um to the monster truck. I mean, we went for like five or six years straight, but that was outside and it was loud.
00:06:23
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, I wish it would have been outside, but yeah, it was loud. Like Memphis had, he had his ear, his ear muffs on and yes, of course it lit up and all that shit.
00:06:31
echo_blades
Yeah, the ones with the big wheels. Yeah. Yeah. yeah Oh, that's, that's new. Jared just had the regular tires years, but
Golfing and Family Activities
00:06:40
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah. But you know, you know, the coolest part, I thought the coolest part was, uh, so we got the, you know, the pit passes, you go around and you you see all the trucks before it.
00:06:40
echo_blades
that was cool.
00:06:47
echo_blades
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I did all that. That's cool, man.
00:06:50
tyrellknifeworks
Grave Digger, the shark one, which I meant to take a picture in front of, but I never did. um And there's another one called ah Sparkle Smash. They're all driven by women now.
00:07:03
echo_blades
Oh, wow.
00:07:05
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, Grave Digger is like the the guy, the original guy that created Grave Digger. It's all his kids now that drive them.
00:07:12
echo_blades
Yeah. Oh, wow.
00:07:15
tyrellknifeworks
And the the big shark Megalodon is driven by women. So that was cool. So most of the drivers were women.
00:07:21
echo_blades
Oh, that's cool.
00:07:23
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah. So yeah, it was, I'd never been before.
00:07:25
echo_blades
Interesting. Yeah. You know, you know what else? Oh, I've been to a bunch of them. So, the that's cool. I'm having good memories right now of my kid. Those good times. I was gonna say, you know what wasn't cool? You know, I don't drink. So, you go to a concert. People are always, you know, lit up. um So,
00:07:51
tyrellknifeworks
Of course.
00:07:53
echo_blades
I'm pretty sure I inhaled probably about 17 pounds of weed though, just from sitting in the damn audience. Um, which is cool. Cause I always talk about freebies, right? Um, but when to go get waters, dude, three waters, give me a price.
00:08:13
tyrellknifeworks
I saw the note, so I can't.
00:08:15
echo_blades
Oh, you're in this $30 for three waters.
00:08:19
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
00:08:20
echo_blades
I was like, what?
00:08:22
tyrellknifeworks
Last time I paid that for water, it was in Vegas at ah like an ultra expensive club.
00:08:30
echo_blades
Yeah, that that was insane. that That threw me for a loop. Well, funny part was so we're like I said, we had floor seats were sitting down there and um I called my brother who's he's a good time. he's He's a funny dude. Like so I call him and I'm FaceTime him and I'm showing it and as the concerts going on and he was in bed. He gets up out of bed. goes into the bathroom. He's got no shirt on, goes grab sunglasses, puts his hat on, and starts dancing to ah to me, right? The people behind me that were sitting behind us were freaking dying because he was just putting on a whole fucking, a whole show, man. I just, I love that dude, man. He just, he's endless fun and always, always a good time, man, but that was hilarious.
00:09:19
tyrellknifeworks
But you you said about the weed the I think it might have been the last I've i've only been in the the arena a couple of times the last time I went to the arena ah was to see Prince and I know that's a long time and the guy in front of me lights up and the next day I have
00:09:31
echo_blades
That's hilarious.
00:09:41
tyrellknifeworks
um a whatever if and no ah physical for my insurance.
00:09:44
echo_blades
Longing the Cheetos. Oh, shit.
00:09:51
tyrellknifeworks
i had to be I had to be the dick and reach up to this guy and say, put that out. And he looked at me and I'm like, yeah, I mean it, put it out. And as the guy was like, I think it was like five foot one. There was a fight was going to break out, but he looked at me like, you're the oldest fucker in the world. i'm like And I didn't feel like explaining to him that you know I didn't want to fail a drug test the next day.
00:10:18
echo_blades
Uh, yeah, that wouldn't, that wouldn't have went over so well for me. I would've got beat up. There's way too many of them, way too many of them. Yeah.
00:10:29
tyrellknifeworks

We kind of spent the afternoon together while Kim was working. Then Thursday, I got a little shop time Thursday. managed to make a little progress on the buoy got the guard done well the guard sorry the slot done so a little bit on that actually the the one thing I did next week's not this week's video triple t is going to be on the new laser so stay tuned this week I'll be talking about the f the x tool f1 ultra which is a

00:11:33
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:11:34
tyrellknifeworks
I'm still playing around with it. And I've got a um one of my patrons actually wanted me to do some engraving on some sheaths. So we're going to guinea pig those on the F1 Ultra along with some steel.
00:11:46
echo_blades
Oh, okay.
00:11:50
tyrellknifeworks
So stay tuned for that next week's video. I'm going to be doing an entire video on straightening hammers and making

00:12:00
tyrellknifeworks
um straightening hammers. So I actually made a bunch of them just to throw up on the website as well if people don't want to make them. So yeah, check those out. um So yeah, check out this week's videos and yeah. But yeah, I didn't really Um, we went to six flags on Friday, um, with the family and, uh, yeah, so it didn't really get too much done in the shop this week, but you know, family stuff, summer.
00:12:35
echo_blades
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'm, I'm with you. It was, it was like that. It was, uh, I mean, I, I didn't get home until like two o'clock on a Wednesday night. So I was, uh, needless to say, I was pretty shot on Thursday. There was nothing, nothing happened. And then it started to heat back up. And then on Friday we decided, um,
00:13:01
echo_blades
Cause it was going to be hot as shit here again. So I suggested, yeah, I suggested to my wife and and son, I was like, Hey man, let's go to the beach.
00:13:04
tyrellknifeworks
Oh, it was.
00:13:10
echo_blades
So we shout out to Monterey for the weekend and spend a couple of days out there. Um, I got to golf with my brother and my son on Saturday morning out at a course called Laguna Seca, a beautiful morning. And I just, that is, that area is just my vibe.
00:13:27
tyrellknifeworks
Is that by the racetrack?
00:13:28
echo_blades
It is like you could hear them while we were golfing. no It was, it was that chewy or race cars. I don't know. the a Yeah, that's pretty good.
00:13:44
tyrellknifeworks
This is pretty good.
00:13:47
echo_blades
So, uh, Yeah, that was fun. That was a lot of fun. So my son, I, I've, I've said before, my son used to golf, ah USA golf for a long time and for a couple years anyways, and then he stopped golf and then a couple of weeks circle, um, two months ago or something. He said he wants to start golfing again. So I'm all for it. Um, I mean, I love to golf, but I really like to golf with him because he's really good. Like naturally really good. <unk>s um It's almost kind of sickening. Um, but so my brother and I,
00:14:18
echo_blades
went at it and um I started golfing like shit in the beginning and he was playing OK and Jared was doing all right. So we were keeping score at this time because last time I was when I golf with my dad a few months ago or whatever, I told everybody that I whooped everyone's ass. My brother called me the next day after or whenever he had heard the episode, he was like, bitch, you didn't whoop us and follow by he was talking all this shit. Right. And I was like, get that out of here. dude ah You never beat me. So we kept score and, uh, the long story short is I play like shit.
00:14:52
tyrellknifeworks
And...
00:14:58
echo_blades
The first, uh, first, the front nine and on the back nine, I turned it on and we get down to the 18th hole. I'm, I'm sure I'm, I'm whooping everyone's ass. I'm like, all right, whatever. I'm just going to send it. So I reached back to just like wallop, just like send it. And I hit that ball like three feet. Like I topped it and I'm like, I fucking topped it Dennis and just sent it like dribbling forward.
00:15:21
tyrellknifeworks
I thought you were gonna say 350 feet or 350 yards.
00:15:30
echo_blades
And he's like, Oh no, go ahead. You know, take a breakfast ball or, you know, moy I'm like, no, no, I'm going to play this. I ended up taking an eight on the last hole and he beat me by one stroke.
00:15:38
tyrellknifeworks
Shit. You're just lucky you you did that on the 18th hole. You didn't have to play the whole course with your dick out.
00:15:50
echo_blades
Yeah, I'm used to that though. It was weird, but I was already out. So I didn't explain that, but that's a little awkward. But no, yeah, that was, that was not cool. It was, it was a bummer. And we counted her thing up and then you should see him. And then I'm laughing at myself because
00:16:07
tyrellknifeworks
was he Was he doing that dance he was doing at the...
00:16:10
echo_blades
Yeah. So the the funny part is like, you know, i'm I'm really not overly competitive person. Like I really like just doing things with people and and having a having a playing a game or or, you know, having a competition is is cool, but I really don't like it. It doesn't drive me to like go all out and win. But as my brother, right. And and when I When I knew it was close, I must've added that scorecard up like three times.
00:16:40
echo_blades
like And I was like, motherfucker, you got me, you got me. So it was, I i shot a 101 because the front half, I shot like a 59 or something stupid. It was horrible. It was really bad. um And then he shot a hundred and then Jared shot like a 106 or something like that. So, I mean, we're not, we're not busting down the the PGA tour anytime soon, but ah it was a lot of fun.
00:17:04
tyrellknifeworks
you't You didn't care any big checks home is what I'm hearing.
00:17:06
echo_blades
Yeah. Yeah. But it was good as beautiful, man. Beautiful was like, I don't know, the sun overcloud for the first sort of front nine. And then the sun came out and it was like a, a high of like 69 or maybe 70 by the time we got done at like 11, we went out real early. Um, so it was really cool. It was a good time.
00:17:26
tyrellknifeworks
And that's in Carmel Valley, right?
00:17:29
echo_blades
It's in Monterey.
Entertainment Discussions: Deadpool Movie

echo_blades
It's, it's borderline. You're like, you're almost Carmel Valley.
00:17:31
tyrellknifeworks
yeah I think it's and think it's technically Carmel Valley, because I think Laguna Seca is technically Carmel Valley.
00:17:37

Oh God.
00:19:01
tyrellknifeworks
It was, I loved the cameos. Uh, it was great. I just didn't, want I didn't want to throw, cause I knew when I saw it, not too many people had probably seen it already.
00:19:05
echo_blades

00:19:11
tyrellknifeworks

tyrellknifeworks

I, ah yeah, neither here nor there with me. The first couple were funny, but this one was really good. I really enjoyed it.
00:20:48
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
00:20:48
echo_blades
A lot of fun.
00:20:49
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, I thought it was good.
00:20:51
echo_blades
Yeah, but yeah, go ahead.
00:20:53
tyrellknifeworks
Oh, I did forget something I did in the shop. That was really fun. Um, Thursday afternoon, um, Corinne, I stepped on Corinne and I, she really wanted to do something in the shop. So we didn't have a ton of time. She wasn't going to make a knife. She didn't have that kind of attention span, but we did, uh, make some coffee scoops and, uh, I didn't have any of the material. So we actually. cut it all out from scratch, cut the copper out from some copper sheet that I had.
00:21:27
tyrellknifeworks
I actually use thinner copper. I love the thinner copper. So if I do it again, I'll definitely use thinner copper.
00:21:30
echo_blades
Nice.
00:21:32
tyrellknifeworks
So it worked out really well.
00:21:33
echo_blades
Cool.
00:21:34
tyrellknifeworks
um And I ended up just, it was very different because it was all grinding out the handles and drilling the holes and all this stuff. It's, it was fun.
00:21:46
echo_blades
I saw
00:21:47
tyrellknifeworks
She had a great time. She did awesome. And, um, She was thrilled with with how the the scoops came out. I did a little content on it, her hammering away on them.
00:21:58
echo_blades
that. Yeah, that was cool.
00:21:59
tyrellknifeworks
So yeah, she she had she had fun.
00:22:02
echo_blades
She's already gone.
00:22:03
tyrellknifeworks
No, she leave, but I'm gonna be at this class in two and a half hours from here. So I'll be up at, I'm leaving here at 6 a.m. tomorrow, which would be Monday. I know you guys aren't gonna hear this till Tuesday, but monday i the class might be two days it might be one day it depends on um yeah so i'm going to I'm doing a folder class with master smith mike vagnino who's the master smith that i went through so um i'm doing a folder class with him so we're we're for me it's not about coming out with a like super finish polish knife it's about learning every one of the steps
00:22:48
tyrellknifeworks
So I don't like he's like, oh, do you want to bring the steel? Do you want I'm like, no, no, no, like I don't care I don't even care if it's a real blade like I want to I want to focus on the steps Why are we doing this? Why are we how are we cutting this? Like what are we using? How do we drill holes? How how are you tapping the like all of that kind of stuff? I want to learn I don't you you know, I'll make a
Knife-Making Classes and Techniques
00:23:10
tyrellknifeworks
video of me doing the folder after but um So he's gonna cut out some of the things, like we don't need to spend time grinding out a blank, like that's a waste of time, right?
00:23:22
tyrellknifeworks
So he's gonna pre-do some of that stuff. So of course that's normally two days we might get done in a day. So she leaves Tuesday, but if I have to stay there for Tuesday morning, I'm gonna miss her.
00:23:29
echo_blades
gotcha Gotcha.
00:23:36
tyrellknifeworks
um She goes to the airport by like 11 o'clock on Tuesday, so.
00:23:41
echo_blades
Gotcha.
00:23:43
tyrellknifeworks
So, but I'm looking forward to this folder folder class though.
00:23:45
echo_blades
Well, yeah, that sounds cool.
00:23:47
tyrellknifeworks
It should be fun.
00:23:50
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah. Mike's really laid back and, you know, yeah, it'll be.
00:23:53
echo_blades
He's a good dude. I keep threatening. I have not. I seriously have not been back. to the valley. um I have family ah very close to where he's at. And I just haven't been back in a while because I told him I'll go threaten to stop by and see him if I do get up that way. And I just i just haven't. so And then I was unceremoniously excluded from this event.
00:24:15
tyrellknifeworks
yeah not
00:24:19
echo_blades
So it's all good. It's all good.
00:24:22
tyrellknifeworks
by me mike said i don't want that jared guy here so so yeah it should be uh it should be a good time
00:24:23
echo_blades
No?
00:24:26
echo_blades
Yeah, and and and Rick accidentally broke my knife too. Yeah. Get out of here.
00:24:37
echo_blades
That's good. Yeah, that's cool. That's exciting. um
00:24:44
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, because it i mean Mike warned me, he goes, you know, when you do, you know, in that, you know, Mike V voice, you know, you know, when you do this, you're not going to want anything. You're not going to want to want to make anything but folders after this. You know that, right?
00:24:57
echo_blades
Oh.
00:24:59
tyrellknifeworks
So ah that'll be interesting.
00:25:03
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:25:03
tyrellknifeworks
People want, people want swords and I'm going to want to make folders.
00:25:06
echo_blades
I'm
00:25:06
tyrellknifeworks
So we'll, we'll see.
00:25:09
tyrellknifeworks
but i I do have a commission for um a balisong knife, which I don't know how I feel about it.
00:25:10
echo_blades
interested.
00:25:19
tyrellknifeworks
um hi well I told them I'd put them on the list.
00:25:19
echo_blades
You took it?
00:25:23
echo_blades
Gotcha.
00:25:24
tyrellknifeworks
So that means, you know, I could push them out forever, but you know, cause I don't take a deposit until their name comes up on the list, but that's just, I don't know.
00:25:36
echo_blades
but
00:25:36
tyrellknifeworks
It's good it's gonna be, it's a lot of milling is what it is.
00:25:41
tyrellknifeworks
because it's going to be titanium. he got him he's go He wants the channel styles, which means the blade fits inside the handle instead of the handle being sandwiched on either side. I don't know if you guys are familiar with balisong knives.
00:25:52
echo_blades
That's... No,
00:25:55
tyrellknifeworks
um
00:25:56
echo_blades
no we all caught you over there with all those flipper dudes at Blade Show.
00:25:59
tyrellknifeworks
yeah right i'm i am not i know I know a little bit about them only because
00:26:00
echo_blades
We know that's your thing.
00:26:06
tyrellknifeworks
Of course my son loves them, um like every, you know, 14 to now 18 year old that he is, um he has loved them and had them all through those years.
00:26:18
echo_blades
Mm
00:26:19
tyrellknifeworks
um But I have learned there's a couple of different styles. So like there's there's the style that has like a pin on the blade and that's what stops the handles. You following me?
00:26:32
echo_blades
-hmm
00:26:33
tyrellknifeworks
But now there's a different style where the pins, there's a pin in each handle and a little notch on the blade, which I've discovered these are actually a little better um because that one pin doesn't wear out. The pins are actually in the handles. So they're a little sturdier. i don' I'm not a balisong expert. You guys can correct me if I'm wrong, but those seem easier to make and they seem like they're a little sturdier. They're a little, Um, I dunno, easier to make durable.
00:27:05
echo_blades
Durable. Yeah. Yeah.
00:27:07
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah. So I'll probably be making that style where it's got a little, a little tail on the bottom of the, of the knife, which hits that pin on either side of the handle. So I don't know.
00:27:19
echo_blades
Nice.
00:27:20
tyrellknifeworks
I need to do some research obviously, but it's the whole milling out titanium and I dunno, I've never milled titanium. Can't be that hard, right?
00:27:32
echo_blades
I yeah. I don't know.
00:27:35
tyrellknifeworks
So that's part of the thing I'm gonna learn with Mike.
00:27:36
echo_blades
I don't know.
00:27:38
tyrellknifeworks
I'm sure he's milled titanium because he makes folders all the time. So we'll find out.
00:27:44
echo_blades
Like almost exclusively now, right?
00:27:46
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, he doesn't do I I mean it's it's so funny when you go through blade show and it's the guys that just make folders They have this giant eight foot or ten foot table and they've got like three folders And they're like he's a master smith, you know, they're really high-end folders but like they take up no room on the table and it looks like some guy who just like
00:27:58
echo_blades
Yeah. Yeah. Right. Right.
00:28:09
tyrellknifeworks
pulled out the knife on his pocket and sat in on the table, right?
00:28:12
echo_blades
Right, right.
00:28:14
tyrellknifeworks
um But yeah, at least the really high end ones. But I am gonna try to do a lot more, a lot more. I'm gonna try to do a course at least once or twice a year from now on. um I'd love to go up and see Salem or Moreco or both. Maybe I'll make one trip and go up to Washington and see both those guys.
00:28:40
tyrellknifeworks
We'll see.
00:28:41
echo_blades
That would be fun.
00:28:43
tyrellknifeworks
We should do that. We should, you know, I dunno figure something out, spend a week up there, a couple of days in Morocco. And of course that's a really expensive trip. If you're going to do courses with both those guys in a week, but plus accommodation plus flights and car rental.
00:28:57
echo_blades
Yeah. Yeah.
00:29:01
tyrellknifeworks
So yeah.
00:29:02
echo_blades
But that's, that's a lot of value there, buddy. That's a lot of value there.
00:29:07
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah. It sure is. Just doing some Damascus courses with Mareko. I mean, um I've looked over some Rick's notes from spending. He had Mareko in his shop for, I think it was three or four days.
00:29:23
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:29:24
tyrellknifeworks
And they just did some amazing, but you saw that steal, right?
00:29:28
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:29:28
tyrellknifeworks
Which, you know.
00:29:29
echo_blades
I actually signed my name right under Mareko's on the wall of fame.
00:29:33
tyrellknifeworks
That's right. Um, yeah, Rick's just got to get off his ass and actually do something with that, that steel.
00:29:41
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:29:43
tyrellknifeworks
Um, uh, well, I get, you want to keep that steel for a special occasion because it looks awesome.
00:29:43
echo_blades
Rick, I get it. Don't, don't let that guy talk you down.
00:29:51
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:29:52
tyrellknifeworks
I'm just busting your balls, right? Don't worry.
00:29:55
echo_blades
yeah
00:29:56
tyrellknifeworks
Oh yeah. But coming up, I mean, I don't really have,
Marketing and Community in Knife-Making
00:30:00
tyrellknifeworks
I i mean, I got to finish this week. Besides the course, I gotta finish this buoy. Oh, and I sold the intermediate, the buoy from the intermediate series.
00:30:10
echo_blades
The hamon?
00:30:12
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, the hormone buoy, sold that, sold another one of the, so, oh, I wanna take a moment and talk about, um you know, ive I've seen a couple of people still complaining about Instagram.
00:30:13
echo_blades
Nice!
00:30:26
tyrellknifeworks
I've basically now treat Instagram as, I'm gonna post on Instagram fun things that i think I think are interesting. I've given up on Instagram as a advertising mechanism, unless it's to my existing, like um it's gonna be tooling or something to you know the people that already follow me. I am getting more traction. okay All you knife makers need to listen. I'm getting more traction from newsletters and you know you talk to anyone in business, the best customers are your existing customers. okay These are people that have proven that have bought in from you before are most likely the ones that are gonna buy from you again. So if you're not capturing their emails, their information or people that have been to your website,
00:31:20
tyrellknifeworks
and sending out newsletters every month or whatever to tell them what's new, to tell them what's available. That is a major hole in your sales and marketing plan. Because every time I do that, I sell at least two knives the next day.
00:31:37
echo_blades
nice
00:31:39
tyrellknifeworks
So what definitely advise people, go do that, go set up a newsletter, go go do something.
00:31:44
echo_blades
Nice.
00:31:46
tyrellknifeworks
You gotta push, you gotta push out some marketing. You know, make it happen. Don't rely on Instagram. All these guys that are giving up because of Instagram, you know, that's poor planning.
00:31:58
echo_blades
Yeah, I think I just I just heard the term of like. the days of organic growth from Instagram are gone, right? So deal with it.
00:32:05
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
00:32:06
echo_blades
Move on.
00:32:07
tyrellknifeworks
Certainly in the, in the knife.
00:32:07
echo_blades
Post, post what you want. both Yeah. I mean, that's how I, I just post whatever the hell I want, what I want. Um, knowing that it's, it is what it is. Right.
00:32:17
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
00:32:18
echo_blades
Um, I'm still, I'm still slowly growing.
00:32:20
tyrellknifeworks
Yep.
00:32:25
echo_blades
But I mean, I'm i'm still a minute figure, so there's not much going on, but I've had some, for me, umm I'm good.
00:32:25
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah. I mean.
00:32:30
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
00:32:35
echo_blades
And ah like you said, um you know, you're not relying on it. You're just, just do it. Quit your bitching and just do it.
00:32:44
tyrellknifeworks
yeah you know You know who, yeah you know someone who knows how to market things? You know someone who is good at sales?
00:32:51
echo_blades
You know what I was going to do?
00:32:51
tyrellknifeworks
Is what?
00:32:54
echo_blades
Say something very similar. Get out of my head, dude. Go ahead. Let me hear it.
00:33:00
tyrellknifeworks
Mr. Lawrence Lake at Maritime Knife Supply. This guy is everywhere. I don't know how you could be in this community and not know who Lawrence Lake is at Maritime. He's everywhere.
00:33:11
echo_blades

00:33:12
echo_blades

00:33:15
tyrellknifeworks
um every podcast you know the guy If you need something, you reach out to Lawrence. all of a sudden he's got it. I was just on his website earlier on a Maritime Knife Supply looking at tools and just you know re-familiarizing myself with all the stuff. I forgot that he's got motors, VFDs, kilns, hardness testers, grinders, i you name it, file guides, files, calipers, you sanding sticks, tongs, hammers, you name it. He's got everything, not just
00:33:52

00:33:56
echo_blades
Yeah, he does.
00:33:58
tyrellknifeworks
And you know what's on the homepage that made me think of you, Jared?
00:34:01
echo_blades
What is it? Tell me.
00:34:02
tyrellknifeworks
A two by 72 leather belt, because I heard yours is like a two by 82 because you keep leaving it on the grinder. So you may need to order one of these.
00:34:09
echo_blades
Yeah, I actually It is a one by 72. I mean, 79 or 85 by now. Yeah.
00:34:19

echo_blades
Yeah, you know absolutely. You know what else is is good about a guy that's got everything that you need um is a knife maker himself, but he's also supporting our community, um like constantly. you know, sponsorships, like you had just mentioned, um the scholarship programs through the New England School of Metalworks, you know, for, you know, young makers, giving them the opportunity to go take a some classes and, you know,

yeah my wife My wife keeps busting on me because she's like, Canada only has 17 medals and the US has whatever 70 or something like that.
00:36:03
echo_blades
Camera.
00:36:11
tyrellknifeworks
I'm like, wait a fucking second. The population of of the US is like 15 times what Canada is. I think we're doing pretty good.
00:36:21
echo_blades
That's what losers say. I agree.
00:36:25
tyrellknifeworks
You're an ass.
00:36:27
echo_blades
I don't care about their gold medals. There's a lot of good knife makers out there and they will all be at the great custom knife show. So go check them out. Uh, for sure. You know, and you know what else he does? Our favorite thing cuts up your steel for your Damascus.
00:36:43
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, that that is my, solely my favorite thing.
00:36:44
echo_blades
If you're into that kind of thing,
00:36:49
echo_blades
Yeah, absolutely. And if you're not interested in making any Damascus, then you should go check out the boys over at Baker Forged and Tool. They have the best Damascus for you, available all the time um over at Baker Forged and Tool. Use the app. You can get one day early access to all of the drops. And right now, Dennis, Koi and the boys have their biggest summer sale going on right now.

00:37:48
echo_blades
What the fuck?
00:37:51
tyrellknifeworks
because yeah Because a lot of times we talk about these sales and they come up and they go so fast that
00:37:51
echo_blades
I sure hope not, Dennis.
00:37:58
echo_blades
I'm definitely not talking about the end cuts that were last week, so let's give it a chance here.
00:38:01
tyrellknifeworks
Right. Because we record on Sunday, but the show doesn't come out until Tuesday and a lot of this stuff is gone by then, unfortunately.
00:38:10
echo_blades
It is very true. The tsunami still is a limited supply. So um if you haven't done it by the time you hear this, go try to check it out and get yourself some. And they're also running a bracket style contest to figure out what is the most popular style of Baker Steel that they make. So each week they will put two of their patterns up against each other in a bracket style competition and let us, you and I and all um of us again, I guess.
00:38:44
echo_blades
Vote ah week by week and find out what is their favorite, what is all of our favorite pattern that they put out. And at the end.
00:38:51
tyrellknifeworks
and they're And there's some crazy guy doing the voiceover for that too.

Are you vying for this? Are you trying to challenge Brian to do the voiceovers for for the Baker
00:39:20
echo_blades
I would go head to head anytime.
00:39:23
tyrellknifeworks
All right, let's do it. We should have a Jared versus Brian voice off.
00:39:25
echo_blades
Not a problem.
00:39:28
echo_blades
That's right. That's right. Coming at you. wow

You may have an exclusive drop of the most favorites of all the Baker's fortune seal, uh, pattern style release after that. So yeah.
00:40:05
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, no, it's a cool idea. When i when i and I heard about it, I thought it was it was...
00:40:06
echo_blades
yeah
00:40:09
tyrellknifeworks
It's just something fun, something fun to do.
00:40:12
echo_blades
It's getting people interactive and with their stuff. I think it's amazing. And if you're going to go take advantage of that big ass sale and vote for all this stuff, make sure you use the discount code triple T 10 for 10% off your next purchase. Wow.

tyrellknifeworks
So this one, if I've been a big fan of this Maker for a while. um Who I've got this week is, ah the IG is DeBonteBladeWorks. which is Victor DeBonte. He has been a winner of the one of the challenges. I don't remember exactly which one I'd have to go back, but one of the YouTube knife maker challenges, the viewer entries. Um, he, uh, he won was the dagger channel. I don't remember which one it was, but he definitely was. Oh, he was the Bowie one. I don't know. I don't remember exactly, but he's definitely been a winner, uh, in the past. And, uh, he is an 18 year old bladesmith from, uh, the Pacific Northwest, according to his, um,
00:41:28

00:43:52
tyrellknifeworks
So I do want to spend a couple of minutes talking about, now that we've announced it, the apocalyptic challenge. ah So we Friday, we announced the next installment of the YouTube KnifeMaker challenge. ah Despite my my personal um what I wanted everyone voted for the apocalyptic challenge and All the all the other makers were laughing at me because they know I'm I'm not a reclaimed steel kind of guy most of my stuff is not the Not that style, but they're making me do it. So, you know begrudgingly I'm doing it but um
00:44:36
tyrellknifeworks
I wanted to make sure I clarify for folks on the rules for the viewer entries. So before you start, okay, read the viewer entry rules, because there's like a unique one in this one. As part of this, we wanna see what you started with. So either keep a peace, whether it's, I don't care, rebar. you know leaf spring when whatever it is and it doesn't have to be the reclaimed material you have to use reclaimed material somewhere in your build okay doesn't have to be the blade can be the guard i don't care obviously you're going to get judged on this so maybe not make it just a pin or something but you need to take a picture of what you started with or have a piece of that
00:45:28
tyrellknifeworks
Preferably, it's got to be part of your final picture. so You either digitally add it to your final picture of what you started with, or you have a physical piece like you you used half of a leaf spring, you're going to put the other piece in your picture. We want to see that. That's part of this challenge. We want to see what you turned it into. okay so If your photo editing skills aren't the greatest and you don't know how to do that, either get a friend who does, or keep a piece of what you started with so you can put it in your final picture.
00:46:01
tyrellknifeworks
Okay. So that is a requirement. If I get pictures and I can't tell what you used, I'm going to disqualify you. So pay attention.
00:46:10
echo_blades
Dequeued. Dequeued.
00:46:12

tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, that's part of the fun, right? We want to see, you know, and honestly, those are not that I know you guys aren't doing in YouTube videos, but YouTube videos that do the, I'm going to turn this into this in the thumbnail. Those always do

00:47:04
echo_blades
Document the process. You got to document the process. Don't take pictures that or videos of you actually doing it. Just document the process. Just do it. that
00:47:14
tyrellknifeworks
I'm not sure I'm sold on your, uh, your Brian has imitation, but, uh, I like your effort.
00:47:19
echo_blades
i don't want I don't want to be rude, so I'm trying to be reserved here.
00:47:25
tyrellknifeworks
But yeah, everyone start building, builds are due, your picture is due back to the the email which is in the instructions ah by October 18th. So you got a lot of time, go start planning, go start thinking about what you're gonna make, get on it. This ah this challenge is there are 14 YouTube channels participating plus five judging channels. So a total of 19 YouTube channels. So you're gonna see a lot of videos.
00:48:03
echo_blades
Oh, the five winners are in addition to the 14 competitors.
00:48:07
tyrellknifeworks
That's right, that's right.
00:48:08
echo_blades
Wow.
00:48:08
tyrellknifeworks
So yes.
00:48:11
echo_blades
Very cool. Very cool.
00:48:13
tyrellknifeworks
And we have the defending champion, Mr. Spencer at Heavy Forge, which I'm happy to say that we got some info from Spencer that Uh, he got some good news on his, um, on his surgery that happened. And he was worried. They, I don't exactly like, he was worried they severed a tendon or something like that, but it seems like it just slid behind a bone or something like that.
00:48:38
echo_blades
Yeah, some yeah some it was he it was going to end up healing in an appropriate way, and they were able to catch it and correct that.
00:48:47
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
00:48:48
echo_blades
So he's he's really on the mend now.
00:48:49
tyrellknifeworks
right
00:48:51
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah. He's thinking by September, he'll be, uh, back in forging status. So that's good.
00:48:57
echo_blades
Nice, nice, nice.
00:48:59
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah. We're all wishing Spencer a speedy recovery because frankly, I want to see him defend his title again.
00:49:06
echo_blades
That's right.
00:49:06
tyrellknifeworks
Uh, uh, he's a good dude and a good friend. All right. What else you got?
00:49:14
tyrellknifeworks
We, Oh, no, since, we're since we're talking about, um, um,
00:49:14
echo_blades
Mmm.
00:49:15
echo_blades
Good.
00:49:21
tyrellknifeworks
the apocalyptic challenge. I will mention one more sponsor, ah Mr. Frank Machado at Two Bastards Texas Smithian Supplies. ah I was using my two bastards hammer to hammer out some, oh, the other fun thing I did with Corinne, it was more of a demonstration, but I showed her how to make a leaf. So I made her a little leaf key chain and I used my two bastards fat peen hammer. ah to make that leaf, so I was very happy about that.
00:49:50
echo_blades
That's right.
00:49:54
echo_blades
You're damn right you did.
00:49:54
tyrellknifeworks
um
00:49:56
echo_blades
You're damn right you did.
00:49:58
tyrellknifeworks
ah So if you need a hammer, go talk to Frank, a two bastards, Smithy and Supplies. He makes some awesome work. It is definitely my go-to hammer. ah What's your favorite saying, Jared?
00:50:14
echo_blades
Ain't it grand to have a fat bean in your hand?
00:50:17
tyrellknifeworks
Yes, it is. ah By the way, I did find my old Hickory Forge hammer, by the way.
00:50:19
echo_blades
That's right.
00:50:22
tyrellknifeworks
I think we left it on top of the press when we are hammering we were changing dies or something. So that's why I couldn't find it.
00:50:31
echo_blades
i'm I'm still very offended.
00:50:35
tyrellknifeworks
We have the exact same hammer. So it wouldn't surprise me if you accidentally took it home. I wasn't accusing you. I was just asking.
00:50:44
echo_blades
Well, I mean, I think the fourth text is is accused of stories, sir.
00:50:47
tyrellknifeworks
Get out.
00:50:48
echo_blades
Fuck off.
00:50:50
tyrellknifeworks
You're such a liar.
00:50:55
echo_blades
Well, I am good.
00:50:56
tyrellknifeworks
So yeah, so Maritime, Two Bastards, and Baker Forge, along with mosa Mosaic Pins, are our sponsors for the apocalyptic challenge. So give them some love. They're supplying some amazing prizes. So over ah Yeah, almost $2,000 worth of gift certificates and materials for the first place winner. That's that's a lot of swag.
00:51:28
echo_blades
That's a lot of making me almost want to, but I'm still not going to.
00:51:33
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
00:51:33
echo_blades
But you know what? you the The coolest part for me about that that challenge is the the Facebook group.
00:51:41
tyrellknifeworks
That is fun to see everyone's progress.
00:51:41
echo_blades
Even if in every time I say I'm not interested, because I'm just personally right now, I know it's just not not in my, in my realm of time to mess around with stuff like that. But I always almost get suckered in after seeing the first couple pictures and progress and and things start to show then I get all kind of jealous and I want to do it. But I only have that because I joined the the Facebook group and get to see everybody's amazing stuff in the process. so
00:52:16
tyrellknifeworks
I did, I did see a comment from Toby saying, Oh cool. And then I sent him one back saying, uh, him and Kaggler should do, uh, should each do a build and then we'll do a special judging to see who wins between, uh, Toby and owner.
00:52:32
tyrellknifeworks
Um, no, of course not.
00:52:32
echo_blades
Did owner come back?
00:52:35
echo_blades
Oh, God.
00:52:36
tyrellknifeworks
Toby said maybe, but that's right up. That's right up. Uh, Kaggler's that's in his wheelhouse.
00:52:45
echo_blades
Yeah. I think you would have set up stepped up, not stepped up, but you know, like you set yourself up on the last one for this one to come.
00:52:52
tyrellknifeworks
Right.
00:52:53
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:52:54
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah. Cause he's not, he's not doing, he, he, he couldn't do this challenge. I think he's busy in the the whole grappling fighting thing, but, uh, but, uh, yeah, he's got to do YouTube videos anyway.
00:53:05
echo_blades
Gotcha.
00:53:09
tyrellknifeworks
Come on, do it.
00:53:10
echo_blades
Yeah. Do it.
00:53:12
tyrellknifeworks
It'd be funny if he won as a viewer, but didn't, didn't win as a channel.
00:53:17
echo_blades
ah One as a viewer, that's great.
Community Involvement and Personal Growth
00:53:22
tyrellknifeworks
Oh, he could, of course he could.
00:53:22
echo_blades
ah You could do that though, right? I mean, interesting.
00:53:27
tyrellknifeworks
That'd be funny. Okay, the gauntlet is thrown. Let's see if the fire and steel is gonna pick it up.
00:53:33
echo_blades
But he doesn't fucking like you. So I think this is a very small gauntlet, but which I don't get, but yeah, I'm still winning.
00:53:36
tyrellknifeworks
I don't care.
00:53:41
tyrellknifeworks
I'm still gonna keep poking him.
00:53:43
echo_blades
Maybe that's how he says he loves you, you know?
00:53:44
tyrellknifeworks
I know.
00:53:45
echo_blades
So that's good stuff.
00:53:50
echo_blades
But yeah, that's ah really cool. um I would say this next week, um I'm going to be using some ah Pelican paste on that Shrepa 2.0 Oakland A's theme project. um I'm just on the finish line. So I'll definitely be using the Pelican oil on that ah fat carbon and G10 lube that thing all up and get it all shiny and pretty. um But I suggest you go check out Pelican Paste. Travis is doing some good stuff right now. He's got all your premium wax needs ready to be filled. He's got hard wax, soft wax, Pelican oil, the hand saw, and the new soap as well, which I'm a big fan of myself.
00:54:43
echo_blades
um So ah go get yourself some Pelican paste. And while you're at it, use the discount code triple T 10 for 10 percent off your next purchase.
00:54:55
tyrellknifeworks
do it
00:54:56
echo_blades
Do it.
00:54:57
tyrellknifeworks
do it now
00:54:57
echo_blades
That's right. Yeah, he's banging.
00:55:00
tyrellknifeworks
that was my
00:55:01
echo_blades
He's banging all kinds of stuff, man. I i just love seeing how how these guys are. having success, right? Like I said, a couple weeks back, you know, I love the fact that all all of the people that support us and sponsorship are, you know, majority of them are all, you know, hustling on the side as, as this venture, you know, they got other things except for the big dog, you know, Koi who's handling everything full time, but the rest of those guys are just full time gigs and doing this stuff on the side and putting out amazing stuff.
00:55:18
tyrellknifeworks
Do it. Do it now.
00:55:35
echo_blades
So ah make sure you go support them.
00:55:40
tyrellknifeworks
Yep, ah I'm looking forward to be back in the shop after this folder course, telling you guys all about this folder course and ah yeah, it's gonna be a good week. Although, well, it's gonna cool down after Tuesday, right?
00:55:56
echo_blades
um
00:55:57
tyrellknifeworks
It is, I already looked.
00:55:59
echo_blades
i I sure hope so.
00:56:01
tyrellknifeworks
I think it spikes on Tuesday, but then we drop back to the low 90s, I think, unless it changed already.
00:56:09
echo_blades
It rained on my way out of town on Friday. You said it when I talked to you on Friday, you were at the the water park or whatever.
00:56:12
tyrellknifeworks
I know.
00:56:17
echo_blades
You're like, it's humid and weird. And I was like, it is.
00:56:20
tyrellknifeworks
yeah Yeah.
00:56:22
echo_blades
And then shitter shit or shit, it rained on me on the on the way out of town. That was weird. Unexpected.
00:56:28
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah. And again, for those that don't live in California in the Bay Area, it doesn't rain here between like May and October. So to have rain in beginning of August is like wacky as hell.
00:56:43
echo_blades
Yeah, I mean, it didn't rain here for like five years. But the bigger thing is like when we when I do travel and go, you know, to the south or back east or whatever. One of the hard things to kind of comprehend is that when it rains here, it's cold. It's always cold. At least.
00:57:05
tyrellknifeworks
Cool. Yeah. Yeah. It was, it was nice cause it was, it was, well, it was hot and sweaty at the amusement park, but on the way home it, you could feel the pressure drop and then it rained and it was, it was a nice relief.
00:57:17
echo_blades
Yeah. Yeah. It's not, and it's never
Shop Talk and Weekly Reflections
00:57:20
echo_blades
90 degrees and then thunderstorms. So that never happens out here, but I had a question for you before we do get out of here.
00:57:24
tyrellknifeworks
No.
00:57:28
echo_blades
Cause, um, so I had a buddy, uh, our buddy, um, Derek miles was, got his induction forged all hooked up, um, a couple of weeks back and, um, he, I think, yeah, Oh, he tried anyway. So he he made his own coils.
00:57:50
tyrellknifeworks
Okay.
00:57:50
echo_blades
And he was texting me this weekend that for whatever reason, though, the coils that came with the machine.
00:57:56
tyrellknifeworks
Mm hmm.
00:58:01
echo_blades
When he hits on the the foot pedal, it gets the beep the deep deep and everything's working.
00:58:03
tyrellknifeworks
Mm hmm.
00:58:10
echo_blades
Puts his coils on and he's not getting anything and they're not heating up. He's taking them apart. Um, he's, he keeps telling me, i dude, there's, there's waters getting through like there, there's no blockage of any kind.
00:58:27
tyrellknifeworks
how many How many coils?
00:58:29
echo_blades
So that's what he said that the, he had reached out to some people and they were saying, um, you know, that if you have too many loop de loops, that can actually be, uh, hinder the things working. So he, redid them to ensure that he didn't have too many like kind of match the one that he had and he and he still wasn't getting any luck. I was traveling. Um, so I was not able to kind of to dig in, but I'm looking at one that has yet just like one or two loops.
00:58:59
tyrellknifeworks
Because.
00:59:08
tyrellknifeworks
But all of mine.
00:59:12
tyrellknifeworks
OK, I'm.
00:59:12
echo_blades
Can you have too little or you have too many?
00:59:13
tyrellknifeworks
Yes, I like I actually think you have to have for the one machine we have, you have to have four.
00:59:16
echo_blades
Okay.
00:59:21
tyrellknifeworks
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure there's some kind of science between how ah around how many coils it is.
00:59:21
echo_blades
Oh.
00:59:27
tyrellknifeworks
And I think ours is set up for four because every one of mine, I'm pretty sure every one of the ones that we have has four turns.
00:59:38
echo_blades
Yeah, I'll have to check.
00:59:39
tyrellknifeworks
I mean, I don't understand the science and that doesn't, I'm saying it and it doesn't totally make sense to me, but you know,
00:59:46
echo_blades
Huh. Yeah. So I just wanted to bring it up. If anybody has any ideas or any but been through this type of thing, ah reach out to me on the the triple T I G and I'll I'll definitely share that over to to Derek. But yeah, I'm it's out of my realm over my head at this point.
01:00:00
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah.
01:00:04
echo_blades
I haven't even got the power up to mind, but I thought that was an interesting deal because you and I wanted to confirm that you had
01:00:07
tyrellknifeworks
the
01:00:13
tyrellknifeworks
i haven' been I haven't used the one um because i haven't made I didn't get the Flair fittings form yet, but it's it's literally identicalical identical to one of the ones that I made except
01:00:20
echo_blades
Okay.
01:00:27
echo_blades
You still don't have the the fittings yet?
01:00:29
tyrellknifeworks
No, I, cause I just haven't spent any time. Like I made the coil and it's, I made one that's identical to one I have, except it's a little bit bigger.
01:00:32
echo_blades
Gotcha.
01:00:40
tyrellknifeworks
Like the, the room is a little bit bigger, but it's the same number of coils.
01:00:41
echo_blades
Gotcha. Yeah. i got you
01:00:44
tyrellknifeworks
It's exactly the same. Like I'm, I couldn't imagine it not working. It's the same thickness of copper, like thickness, diameter, um, ah OD ID is all the same.
01:00:49
echo_blades
yeah
01:00:58
echo_blades
Yeah, Derek, I know you listen. You're like one of the four people that listen. So send those videos over to Dennis. Um, and let him take a look at it and see if there's something I'm not explaining.
01:01:07
tyrellknifeworks
ye Yeah, I'm no expert.
01:01:08
echo_blades
Right. Um, he's a damn expert.
01:01:09
tyrellknifeworks
Believe me, what I said.
01:01:12
echo_blades
He will fix to your problem, Derek. Okay.
01:01:15
tyrellknifeworks
I'll try.
01:01:15
echo_blades
He's a fricking parallel bar Olympian gold medalist.
01:01:16
tyrellknifeworks
yeah
01:01:20
echo_blades
There's nothing this guy can't do coils drop in the bucket.
01:01:22
tyrellknifeworks
All right, send it to me.
01:01:24
echo_blades
We'll get this taken care of right now.
01:01:27
tyrellknifeworks
I'll do what I can do.
01:01:30
echo_blades
And then get your flare fitting so I can see your shit not work too. And then I can make fun of you.
01:01:33
tyrellknifeworks
Yeah, and then there'll be you know if there's some magic sprinkled on these things. We didn't get the right kind of pixie dust or something.
01:01:41
echo_blades
Yeah, no, that's yeah, that's interesting though. yeah I thought that was ah something knife related here on this.
01:01:47
tyrellknifeworks
i I want to say something that I read something somewhere when I was looking it up about the number of turns that the machine is set up for. and that unless I'm imagining it, but I distinctly remember something about the number of turns. I don't know if it was a minimum, a maximum, and an exact number, but there's something to do with that.
01:02:11
echo_blades
That's why I can't have Instagram open on my screen because like we've been having this whole time and I have this, I don't, randomly I have a fader reel just like on endless loop. I'm just like, all right, I've seen enough of your mug, Jeff. I got to minimize you.
01:02:31
echo_blades
So, yeah.
01:02:33
tyrellknifeworks
All right.
01:02:35
echo_blades
Yeah, man. Interesting. Low key one here, guys. Thanks for hanging out. We appreciate you. And I think we're both going to get into some more shenanigans this week, so.
01:02:46
tyrellknifeworks
That's right. We'll see you guys on the flip side.
01:02:50
echo_blades
Yep. We'll get you some more bread basket, endless breadsticks.
01:02:54
tyrellknifeworks
That's right. I haven't seen that commercial lately, so we're good.
01:02:59
echo_blades
Good. I've never seen it.
