Thanksgiving Week Greetings
00:00:16
Denis Tyrell
Hey, welcome everybody. It is Thanksgiving week for those here in the United States. So we're all gonna give thanks for all of you and all of our friends out there and my buddy Jared.
00:00:29
Denis Tyrell
I even am thankful for him.
00:00:32
echo_blades
Oh, that's so good.
00:00:32
Denis Tyrell
Jared, how are you?
00:00:35
echo_blades
I am doing good. How are you doing today, Dennis?
00:00:42
echo_blades
I am grateful for you, too.
Microphone 'Mustache Tickler' Joke
00:00:47
Denis Tyrell
what the hell was that?
00:00:48
echo_blades
What are you talking about, Dennis?
00:00:52
Denis Tyrell
Why was it that rough?
00:00:56
echo_blades
Ah, what's up, buddy? How are you?
00:01:00
Denis Tyrell
I'm good. I'm good.
00:01:02
echo_blades
Why does your microphone have a mustache tickler on it?
00:01:07
Denis Tyrell
Because I was tired of breathing into it. So I tried to get to ah ah something to reduce the wind.
00:01:16
echo_blades
I should take a picture and post it that you have like an Eskimo hat on you your microphone tip.
00:01:16
Denis Tyrell
Apparently
00:01:24
Denis Tyrell
Hey, it's cold.
00:01:26
echo_blades
Yeah, I guess.
00:01:26
Denis Tyrell
It needs a little.
00:01:30
echo_blades
Oh, God, it's good stuff, guys. I wish you could see it. It's so good. He looks so warm and fuzzy.
00:01:36
Denis Tyrell
Hey, it's nice and warm in here.
00:01:38
echo_blades
Yeah, there you go.
00:01:40
Denis Tyrell
Oh, I had an eventful week. um What about you?
00:01:45
echo_blades
I had a very not eventful week, so there was a like, I mean, a large amount of nothing that took place over here.
00:01:47
Denis Tyrell
Oh, well.
00:01:53
echo_blades
A lot of work. And then this weekend, um, yeah, it was pretty uneventful. I did have some plans that, uh, changed very
Eventful Week Discussion
00:02:02
echo_blades
rapidly. So I'm interested in your exciting week before I tell everybody about my nothing.
00:02:10
Denis Tyrell
Man, where to start. Um, so I do want to start with some not so good news. Maybe this has happened to someone else.
00:02:22
Denis Tyrell
So I'd like to get some feedback on this.
Knife Order Scam Concerns
00:02:25
Denis Tyrell
Um, remember a couple of weeks ago I said, Hey, I got an order that I'm shipping off to Mexico.
00:02:32
echo_blades
Mmm.
00:02:34
Denis Tyrell
So, um, which I got paid for because I have an order like that, an international order like that. I'm going to make sure it goes through. And it wasn't an expensive knife. It was like a $300 order, shipped it off. And then probably six days after I shipped it before they received payment or before they received the shipment, I get a message from my website my commerce provider, GoDaddy, that they have disputed the charges at their credit card company.
00:03:13
Denis Tyrell
So GoDaddy has to reverse the payment.
00:03:17
echo_blades
Has to.
00:03:18
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, they've already reversed it. They've already, it's under dispute. And they asked me for all the information, the invoice, the tracking, the shipping and all of this.
00:03:29
Denis Tyrell
So it's in, they're disputing the dispute.
00:03:32
echo_blades
Okay.
00:03:33
Denis Tyrell
um And I'm wondering, has anyone else faced this? Is this just a new scam out there? um I can't.
00:03:41
echo_blades
but I'm confused. So do you got paid?
00:03:43
Denis Tyrell
I got paid and then they reversed it because the the the guy reported it, has disputed it with the credit card company. I don't know what basis he could have disputed it on because it'd only been six days to ship an international shipment.
00:04:00
Denis Tyrell
He got a tracking. He got a fulfillment email saying that it was shipped. He got a tracking number.
00:04:09
echo_blades
Did the package arrive?
00:04:11
Denis Tyrell
I haven't checked yet. Um, or well, I haven't checked in the last day because I was away for the weekend, but, um,
00:04:18
echo_blades
Hmm. So he waited for it to ship, get a tracking number, disputed the charge, and is trying to get a knife and classy.
00:04:21
Denis Tyrell
thank you Wait. Yes. Yeah. and not pay for it.
00:04:34
Denis Tyrell
Very classy.
00:04:35
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:04:36
Denis Tyrell
So what I don't know if this is a new kind of scam. Is this going to be because it's overseas and they're just going to dispute it and not do anything about it?
00:04:47
Denis Tyrell
um So I'll keep you guys posted on how this goes, because this will definitely put my radar up for international orders going forward, um which
00:05:00
echo_blades
Does the same thing happen here in in the States or do they automatically reverse the payment if it's disputed?
00:05:04
Denis Tyrell
I mean it, oh yeah, yeah. This is not like if the credit card, if it got disputed by the credit card company, yes, they would just reverse it. that That part's normal.
00:05:14
Denis Tyrell
I'm not mad at GoDaddy. They're doing what they're supposed to do. It's the fact that this guy disputed the payment. It's not like I didn't send it. He got a tracking number.
00:05:25
Denis Tyrell
He knows it's on the way. This is definitely bullshit.
00:05:29
echo_blades
Or is the stolen credit card and the people that actually, you know, have the credit card are like, Hey, I didn't order this shit.
00:05:29
Denis Tyrell
So.
00:05:39
Denis Tyrell
Mm, maybe.
00:05:41
echo_blades
I'm not saying that.
00:05:42
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, but then they have the address of where the knife was shipped to. If the guy was dumb enough to ship it to, ah it smells like a scam to
Credit Card Dispute Insights
00:05:51
Denis Tyrell
me.
00:05:51
Denis Tyrell
um I very much doubt that, you know, I doubt I'm gonna ever see the knife again, but it's certainly, you know, like I said, it gets my radar up for international orders from now on.
00:05:51
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:06:08
echo_blades
Yeah. And then you think that, uh, having that sell through a website is is a little safer than, you know, a, uh, Instagram or social media type of transaction.
00:06:20
Denis Tyrell
Right. And it's it's I've heard I've heard horror stories about PayPal, um same kind of thing. So the PayPal ones, I make sure that that comes through fully before, um you know, I get the money from PayPal before anything gets shipped.
Listener Engagement on International Orders
00:06:39
Denis Tyrell
But this was credit card.
00:06:41
Denis Tyrell
And those are usually a little safer. But I don't know if you guys have had any issues like this.
00:06:41
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:06:44
echo_blades
Hmm.
00:06:48
Denis Tyrell
drop us a line on the, uh, on the Instagram. I'd like to hear, uh, you know, if anyone else has had this issue.
00:06:55
echo_blades
Yeah, I'm a little interested too.
00:06:59
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
Katana Crafting Challenges
00:07:00
Denis Tyrell
So that's not so good, but I'll keep you guys posted.
00:07:03
echo_blades
Yeah, that kind of that sucks, man. I'm sorry that that happened.
00:07:07
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. I mean, it it what it it wasn't like, you know, the dagger that I just shipped at least, but, um, it was a $300 knife and not a, you know, $5,000 knife or something like that.
00:07:22
echo_blades
Yeah, that that's definitely a plus.
00:07:25
Denis Tyrell
Right. But those, those I get signatures on and, you know, that kind of thing.
00:07:31
echo_blades
maybe he just got Maybe he just got the knife and and was like, fuck this.
00:07:40
Denis Tyrell
I sent him an email and
00:07:40
echo_blades
yeah I just got lightheaded. I'm so funny.
00:07:45
Denis Tyrell
Jared's, Jared's arm hurts from patting himself on the back.
00:07:48
echo_blades
Oh, Jesus. Yeah. No, this isn't what I wanted. yeah
00:07:55
Denis Tyrell
Fine. Send it back. No, I sent him an email saying, why did you just beat this on what, what reason?
00:07:59
echo_blades
And he's ghost or.
00:08:01
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, he never answered me.
00:08:02
echo_blades
Gotcha. Yeah, that's a bummer, dude.
00:08:03
Denis Tyrell
So that's the other reason why. Yeah, it sucks, but something to watch out for in the future.
00:08:07
echo_blades
Oh, shit.
00:08:11
echo_blades
Hmm.
00:08:14
Denis Tyrell
But yeah, I've been still madly working on katanas. um
00:08:20
echo_blades
bro. So guys, Dennis and I are friends. we We see each other a lot, no matter what, how it sounds here. So so I swung by this afternoon to to pick something up and I walked in and I have, we've been hanging out for years now, right? And today was the very first time I think I've ever seen you wear like
00:08:49
echo_blades
stress, like ever.
00:08:52
Denis Tyrell
ah
00:08:53
echo_blades
And I think it's hilarious and brings my heart full of joy. Like I am so thankful for this on this wonderful Thanksgiving week.
00:09:01
Denis Tyrell
Oh, that's what you're thankful for.
00:09:03
echo_blades
I'm so thankful that you you found the opportunity to to have retirement, bring you more stress than I've ever seen in your life. It is great.
00:09:12
Denis Tyrell
a
00:09:13
echo_blades
No, but seriously, man, like you were kind of, I looked and I could just see, I was like, Oh, this guy's yeah. I'm just gotta get all this stuff and run it, you know? And yeah,
Reno Trip and Snowy Adventure
00:09:24
echo_blades
it's first time I've seen you wear it.
00:09:24
Denis Tyrell
yeah
00:09:25
echo_blades
So
00:09:27
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I mean, I'm trying to get these things done so I can get them sent out and I've got a hard deadline. Like I've said, ah either I'm going to make it or I'm going to miss it by like a month because the guy's traveling. I'd really like to make it in December. So that's why um' I got basically three weeks and I got a lot to do on these things. Um, so I was trying to finish guards today. Didn't get as far as I wanted. Uh, hopefully we'll finish those It's actually good that I didn't get as far because I had some email communication with the customer and I sent him the design for the the guard and he had some really good suggestions.
00:10:09
Denis Tyrell
and you know So it's good that I didn't start that part of the guard.
00:10:11
echo_blades
Oh, good.
00:10:16
Denis Tyrell
So I'll be doing those tomorrow. I've already got his blessing on the design and he really likes it. So we're going to move forward there.
00:10:24
echo_blades
Cool. Yeah, you wouldn't want to do those twice.
00:10:27
Denis Tyrell
No, no, I don't want to do anything twice.
00:10:28
echo_blades
You'd be making, um, that sort of, that's kind of what I'm getting at.
00:10:31
Denis Tyrell
I've already done a katana, one of the katanas twice.
00:10:35
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. So yeah, hibaki's are done.
00:10:35
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:10:37
echo_blades
Oh.
00:10:40
Denis Tyrell
ah They went okay, actually managed to do two hibaki's in a day, which is pretty good for any of you who've ever done a hibaki on a Japanese blade, those take a while. um And then the guards and the guard, basically the guards are just discs that I've kind of, I was going to mill it, but I ended up using the lathe just thinning out the center just so to take some weight off and give them some contour. And then now I got to put all the relief and the cutting the holes and all the fancy shit in them. So, and then they need, they need inlay and there's a bunch of stuff that's got to happen on these things. So yeah.
00:11:22
Denis Tyrell
So if I can get those done and start on the the handle, the parts of the handle, which I'm not even going to remember the name of, the Fuchi or something, whatever, it the opening on the handle that accepts the Tang and then the back of the handle.
00:11:39
echo_blades
Obviously the Septico.
00:11:39
Denis Tyrell
um Yeah, right, that.
00:11:42
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:11:43
Denis Tyrell
The Septicu's younger brother.
00:11:48
Denis Tyrell
If I could get those done this week and and fit the handle, I'll be ecstatic because there's all kinds of other shit to do, finish work on these things.
00:11:56
echo_blades
Nice.
00:12:00
Denis Tyrell
So I'll need a couple of weeks for that.
Golf Outing with Son
00:12:05
Denis Tyrell
But um yeah, that was most of my week.
00:12:05
echo_blades
Cool
00:12:08
Denis Tyrell
But then I had to take a day off to um drive down, drive up to Reno ah to get the disc grinder that I bought.
00:12:19
Denis Tyrell
um which ah my buddy Rick, uh, one of his friends was selling a disc grinder, which actually Rick built for him. Uh, and I got a great deal on that. So, uh, Rick had had it at his place.
00:12:32
Denis Tyrell
So, uh, wanted to go up and, uh, get that spend the night in Rick's place and actually took Parker, uh, my son Parker and, um, yeah, which was nice having him in the drive and got to talk for a while and go out for dinner and yeah.
00:12:39
echo_blades
Oh, cool. So when you went, you went up Friday.
00:12:52
Denis Tyrell
When a Friday morning got there noonish weather was, it rained from my house until 10 miles from Reno, um, like pouring rain through the pass, everything, but it didn't freeze.
00:13:02
echo_blades
Oh, wow. You just went up 80.
00:13:09
Denis Tyrell
80. Yeah.
00:13:10
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:13:10
Denis Tyrell
And then, um, yeah, but on the way home. We're like, so we we got there. we We basically fab the, I wanted the, the grinder to flip horizontal and vertical. You know what I mean? And so we fab that. And then, um, and that was Friday afternoon. We went out to dinner, um, actually ended up just being Parker nine. There's a story there, but, um, and then so we came home Saturday afternoon and Parker, I wanted to show Parker like downtown Reno, which is,
00:13:42
Denis Tyrell
I haven't been downtown Reno in a while. When was the last time you were downtown Reno?
00:13:46
echo_blades
I was just there in June.
00:13:50
Denis Tyrell
Wow, what a man.
00:13:51
echo_blades
Yeah. It's been that way for a long time, dude.
00:13:53
Denis Tyrell
It was.
00:13:55
echo_blades
It's a shadow. It's a shithole.
00:13:55
Denis Tyrell
It looks it looks worse like Harris is closed now like there's I don't know how.
00:14:00
echo_blades
Land of the zombie. Yeah.
00:14:02
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, it is like there was there was and I'm not there was literally more homeless people on the streets than there were people walking around.
00:14:11
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:14:11
Denis Tyrell
It was, yeah, where the dead go to die.
00:14:12
echo_blades
It's sad.
00:14:17
echo_blades
Yeah. A lot of, uh, every time I've been, I've been to the Atlantis, the GSR, or the last time I went to the pepper mill and those aren't on, on the strip or whatever you want to call it.
00:14:26
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:14:27
echo_blades
They're just on the outskirts because it's boo.
00:14:29
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. I would have gladly gone to one of those, but Parker's only 19. It's not like he can gamble. So there was no.
00:14:36
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:14:38
Denis Tyrell
you know We went to Circus Circus and you know played around played a few games and you know and said, yeah, this sucks.
00:14:41
echo_blades
Sure.
00:14:43
Denis Tyrell
Let's go. And then hit a massive snowstorm through
Family Time and Balancing Interests
00:14:48
Denis Tyrell
the pass.
00:14:49
echo_blades
You got through though.
00:14:51
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, but um I haven't been in in snow period in probably four or five years and certainly haven't been in driving in a snowstorm in a really long time.
00:15:01
Denis Tyrell
So it was weird.
00:15:04
Denis Tyrell
but I had the Jeep and four build drive.
00:15:04
echo_blades
You think four by four four.
00:15:07
echo_blades
Yeah. Yeah.
00:15:10
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, we were doing like 10 miles an hour for about an hour.
00:15:17
Denis Tyrell
But it was good.
00:15:18
echo_blades
Yeah, no, you don't mess around in the snow, dude. I'm telling you.
00:15:20
Denis Tyrell
that
00:15:23
Denis Tyrell
Everyone had chains on and and then there's there's the idiots going way, way too fast. And then the idiots going way, way too slow.
00:15:32
Denis Tyrell
And it didn't really seem like much in between. Yeah, but we made it.
00:15:32
echo_blades
yeah
00:15:37
echo_blades
I've only driven, I've only driven to the snow a couple of times and it's always, it freaks me out. It's not my, not comfortable.
00:15:46
Denis Tyrell
I can't see the lines.
00:15:46
echo_blades
Can't see the, uh, the, the lanes. Like everything's just like one big fucking field, snow field.
00:15:54
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, it, it brought back memories of Canada. Um, you know, the, where you can barely, see especially we didn't go at night, but if ah I've been, um driving in a snowstorm in Canada where it was so dark and so snowy, I can only see about 15 feet past the hood of my car and it felt like you were, you know, in light speed in Star Wars kind of thing.
00:16:20
echo_blades
Yeah. Not, not my speed.
00:16:26
Denis Tyrell
But we made it. It was good.
00:16:28
echo_blades
Nice.
00:16:28
Denis Tyrell
it was that It was beautiful though, like the trees and the snow. And you know i know I know all you people and groaning out there like, oh, these guys in their snow. But it was pretty.
00:16:39
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:16:41
echo_blades
Cool. So you're digging the grinder, the, the, the disgrinder is good. You're happy.
00:16:45
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, yeah. I mean, um yeah, it was definitely a good deal.
00:16:46
echo_blades
Good deal.
00:16:49
Denis Tyrell
i mean For what I, I basically paid the price of like a K back VFD. Um, and then got the grinder, like a two horsepower, like obviously me say but it's way overkill cause I'm never going to run this thing that fast.
00:17:03
echo_blades
Yeah, I was gonna say. All right.
00:17:06
Denis Tyrell
But, um, yeah, it's got a forward reverse.
Thanksgiving Reflections and Gratitude
00:17:09
Denis Tyrell
It's, you know, it's. Yeah. It's the cat's ass.
00:17:13
echo_blades
What?
00:17:16
Denis Tyrell
And it's nice to have a permanent disc grinder in the shop now.
00:17:19
Denis Tyrell
I don't have to swap out a disc grinding attachment. So yeah. So but actually to my Patreon members, I'm probably going to do a giveaway of my disc grinder attachment.
00:17:20
echo_blades
Yeah, that's cool.
00:17:34
Denis Tyrell
So folks, if you're if you're one of my Patreon members, stay tuned. You'll probably see a giveaway for that.
00:17:42
echo_blades
Cool.
00:17:45
Denis Tyrell
I have to see about shipping. That thing weighs a ton, but we'll see. Oh, oh, I got a funny, a funny message from. um I just had a brain fart. From. um what the hell
00:18:09
echo_blades
tu Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.
00:18:11
Denis Tyrell
Toby, geez, I was like spacing on his name.
00:18:12
echo_blades
Oh.
00:18:14
Denis Tyrell
I got a funny message from Toby and he's like, dude, you gotta listen to this. You won't believe it. I'm like, what? He goes, listen to this and tells me, tell me whose voice you think this is.
00:18:26
Denis Tyrell
And he sends me an audio clip. I think it was a video. It's a video clip with audio of some guy reading like Bible verses.
00:18:35
echo_blades
Hmm.
00:18:36
Denis Tyrell
I swear to God, it's your voice.
00:18:39
echo_blades
Yeah, he said it.
00:18:39
Denis Tyrell
We are, it is, it is you, did you have an ah like ah alternative life reading like scripture or something?
00:18:48
echo_blades
I am actively searching for alternate employment, and one of them is in the voiceover and or reading the market.
00:18:59
echo_blades
So yeah, that's me.
00:19:00
Denis Tyrell
Oh, I knew it, I knew it.
00:19:01
echo_blades
Yep, I actually did that. and and and And he shared that with me too as well. And I told him that, you know, that's, I do that strictly for the Lord. I just, I give back and that's my gift for all the, for the love and guidance he's provided me. And, uh, you know, that's, those are, those are Bible verses. Those aren't mine. Don't, don't get mistaken. But, uh, yeah, yeah, he said, somebody's ripped off my voice to for that. So.
00:19:30
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, next thing you know, they're going to be running Olive Garden commercials during Bible reading.
00:19:35
echo_blades
Yeah. paineer plant plant plant by theirator brand Yeah, that's pretty cool.
00:19:41
Denis Tyrell
Oh, man. So i talked I've talked a lot. Tell me about your non-week.
00:19:47
echo_blades
Oh, so I, uh, yeah, work is, is lame. And, uh, that was, we're getting busier and busier for whatever reason.
00:19:59
echo_blades
Um, well, I know the reason now we've had a lot of projects that were sitting on hold. Uh, a lot of builders not and spending money and giving the final goes on, cause we do large multifamily, um, like apartment buildings and, uh, on podiums with like retail and. Sub-training garages and stuff. So they're, they're big projects. And, um, you know, before the election, a couple months, probably since like the summer, you know, we've had a lot of design.
00:20:33
echo_blades
which I'm in charge of and then nobody actually pulling the trigger on the contracts to to breaking ground and stuff. So um we had quite a, no, I think it's just, it's the results of the election is my, my guess.
00:20:41
Denis Tyrell
This isn't one of those, one of those cases where like, Hey, it's December and they got a user lose it money. It's not that
00:20:52
echo_blades
Just they're, they're going, yeah. They're feeling more comfortable with spreading and interest rates are coming down and you know, it's always, it's always like this during, during the election, you know, people are,
00:21:02
Denis Tyrell
Hmm.
00:21:03
echo_blades
not very optimistic about spending money um of that. you know it Plus, it's expensive to to spend money right now. you know Interest rates are super high, but that's my take. um So we got a lot of shit that was on hold. We say go. and And if anybody's in the construction world like I am, you understand these these schedules these days are like accelerated in a manner that's almost not really achievable.
00:21:31
echo_blades
And so we have what we're currently working on and then all the stuff that's, you know, Hey, we're ready to go. So we got to add all this. So it's a little bit of a shit show and, um, just not fun. So dealing with all of that. And then, uh, I was looking forward to the weekend to, to make some knives. And then my son hit me up and asked if he, if I wanted to go golf and, um, it was raining, like, you know, the leading up to it.
00:22:01
Denis Tyrell
Was it Saturday you were talking about?
00:22:03
echo_blades
Uh, when we were discussing it, it was earlier in the week and it was pretty wet week for us here. And, uh, I was like, I don't know, dude, it says it's going to rain. And so anyways, he, he, he calls me, he texts me on like Wednesday or something and says, dad, it's not going to rain on Saturday. So but let's go. And I'm like, all right, son, you're, you're a weather man now. So the problem is, is around here, if you're going to book a tea time, you can't really wait until Friday if you want to go off on the weekend.
00:22:34
echo_blades
You're going to get, you're not going to, you're going to get a shitty time. You're going to go out at like 11 or, you know, 12. And I'm not trying to, to do that. ah If I up to me, I'm going to get up super early and, um, try to get that round in and out because go golf takes a while. Um, you know, three hours, if you're moving pretty good, right.
00:22:54
echo_blades
Uh, yeah, it's, but if you go out at like eight or nine and you know, other people are out there, you get hold up and it can, it can turn into like an all day thing.
00:22:54
Denis Tyrell
Takes me like five.
00:23:01
echo_blades
So, um, anyways, so, um, sounded fun. So we, we went out and, uh, I booked the time and so him and I went out on Saturday and I'll be son of a bitch.
00:23:13
echo_blades
The kid was right. We got out. It was beautiful. Um, it was just like stunning. Cause it was stopped raining at like, I don't know, five in the morning. And then the sun came out and it was big clouds. It was, it was, it was gorgeous. And we're starting to finally now get our version of the, of the leaves falling. So there was a, you know, some autumn leaves on the ground and, uh, it was, it was really cool. Uh, and it was just him and I. So I always enjoy just hanging out with him, kind of like what you're talking about with with Parker.
Thanksgiving Plans and Traditions
00:23:42
echo_blades
Um, and the last time I'd never golfed this particular course. Uh, last time I was there was when my son was golfing, uh, USGA, when he was like nine.
00:23:53
echo_blades
or something like that and I would caddy for him so I would always have these really good memories of that that's like one of the the best times of my life was was caddying for him pushing his cart and kind of doing that when he was talking about you know strategizing over the shots and Um, so really, really cool memories. And I was happy to to make some more with him at this, uh, time, but he has this, uh, so him and his buddies, he's currently right now he's golfing like two or three times a week. So he has this, uh, uh, what is it called? It's called the youth on course. So I paid like 20 or 30 bucks for the year.
00:24:32
echo_blades
And he can go out on twilight, like on the weekdays after, you know, when you barely can get in nine holes and at the end of the day for like five bucks because he's a youth.
00:24:41
Denis Tyrell
Wow.
00:24:42
echo_blades
So really inexpensive. Um, cause I couldn't. It's like, you know, 30, 40, 50 bucks to, to golf, even at that time at the twilight rounds. So he gets out for five bucks.
00:24:52
echo_blades
So him and his buddy are out a couple of times a week. And, um, he started this little tick tock page and him and his buddy go back and forth and they did record these little one hole matches.
00:25:05
echo_blades
Um, so he does like a reel on tick tock, but he has this app for the, um, from iPhone where you can,
00:25:12
Denis Tyrell
I saw it. I saw it.
00:25:13
echo_blades
Yeah, you can, you you kind of put yourself and in the ball and in the frame and you record the video and it does a shot tracer, which is really cool.
00:25:13
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:25:24
echo_blades
Cause you know, when you see it, it's like what you see on, if you're watching golf, which I know you watch it all the time. So you're you're familiar.
00:25:32
Denis Tyrell
it It reminds me of Americans watching hockey, actually.
00:25:36
echo_blades
Okay.
00:25:38
echo_blades
that I've seen, no, I've seen that.
00:25:39
Denis Tyrell
you know
00:25:41
echo_blades
I have seen that, but I've, I really,
00:25:42
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, all all Canadians made fun of Americans when that got introduced.
00:25:48
echo_blades
I was so thrilled. I was like, oh, that's what's happening. But, uh, yeah, so I thought that was pretty cool. So we did a couple of those and, um, I actually, uh, one of them he did, I hit a pretty good drive and I posted that today, uh, on my story and.
00:26:05
echo_blades
Got a lot of, a lot of comments about that. So it was pretty cool, but he, he kicked my ass and, uh, we might go back this weekend, but, um, so that was a good time, but basically long story short is that we.
00:26:21
echo_blades
It was most of my day. So by the time I got back, you know, I didn't get out in the shop like I had intended to. And then I mean, I knew this was happening, but I just didn't quite put it all together.
00:26:33
echo_blades
But my daughter's birthday was Sunday as well. So happy birthday, Sarai. I love you. um She's turned 23, which is mind blowing.
00:26:45
Denis Tyrell
Crazy.
00:26:46
echo_blades
Yeah, I guess that's why I have to dye my beard because I'm old.
00:26:50
echo_blades
My oldest is 29 going to be 29 here next next week.
00:26:54
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, that's really crazy. Cause I'm wow. How much older than you am I? And I only have it. My oldest is only 21.
00:27:02
echo_blades
Yeah, well, he fucking spent a lot of time making yeah good decisions or something.
00:27:03
Denis Tyrell
I started late.
00:27:11
echo_blades
Building a career. Yeah, no, I'm kidding. But ah yeah, so um and I I have I wake them up singing Happy Birthday to them.
00:27:23
echo_blades
They're all their lives, every single one of them. So I get up early. I don't get the girls aren't they don't live here anymore. So I'm FaceTiming or sending in videos and doing something like that, but she wanted to go see Wicked, um which just came out this weekend and we were able to catch a show at like, I think 11 o'clock show.
00:27:42
echo_blades
So planning that and my fucking thing was like almost three hours long. So it was, it was a long, it was a long one.
00:27:49
Denis Tyrell
That's way too long. There should be a new rule. Movies are not allowed to be longer than like two and a half hours, even then.
00:27:58
echo_blades
If it's good, I'm i'm into it.
00:28:01
Denis Tyrell
It's rarely good.
00:28:02
echo_blades
And I enjoyed it.
00:28:02
Denis Tyrell
It's rarely good enough that I want to sit there for three hours.
00:28:04
echo_blades
I don't know. I don't know.
Cherishing Family Moments During Holidays
00:28:07
echo_blades
I can i could eat a lot of popcorn, Dennis.
00:28:12
echo_blades
So yeah, so we enjoyed that. We'd both seen the play, and it was a good time. That was a long time and we got back and then we did cake and you know, and hung out for a little while.
00:28:25
echo_blades
So like I said, it was knife making zero, uh, all kinds of other shit, 20. So Oh
00:28:33
Denis Tyrell
Hey, well, you put some put some time in that family bank, so that's good.
00:28:38
echo_blades
yeah, it's all good. I just, I, when I'm, I don't know about, I mean, you don't work anymore. This is what you do, right? So what I, what I do, my strategy for, for life and a lot of things is like,
00:28:50
echo_blades
Especially when things are really busy is I always have these things like planned that I'm looking forward to. So when I'm in the middle of, you know, these high stress moments and, um, I always will, you know, take a deep breath, uh, say a couple of bad words. And then, you know, I think about like, Oh, I got, I got maker's camp coming up or I got, you know, this weekend, I got this, we're going to forge this. But I think about knife making all the time. Like that's what it, you know, like I can't, sometimes I'm in meetings and.
00:29:20
echo_blades
you know, it's like Charlie Brown. won want want wa wa ha And all I hear is a hundred layer Damascus by the forge pulse. It's all I think about like all day long. I'm thinking about like, what should I do? What I want to do plans, you know, like, Oh, I got to do this or I want to do this or come up with something that I want to design. or Um, so that kind of gets me through those lame moments where, where things are not cool.
00:29:46
echo_blades
And I had a bunch of that this week and I really had some plans and I got a super cool shipment in on the weekend and I was really eager to to try that and I didn't get to mess with that.
00:30:03
echo_blades
So that'll happen here.
00:30:04
Denis Tyrell
Oh, is that is that the handle material you've been waiting on?
00:30:09
echo_blades
No, that's coming on tomorrow.
00:30:10
Denis Tyrell
Oh.
00:30:12
echo_blades
Yeah, but um so that actually worked out in our favor. So um it's all good. It's just life is full. um You know, and I think that just kind of segwaying into, you know, the the Thanksgiving holiday that we have coming up. You know, I try to stay focused and keep my my thought process in line with with what this time really means and and there's a lot to be grateful for and there's a lot to be thankful for and a lot to, you know, as much as easy it is to to get into complaining mode and talk about, you know, the woes and the and the battles of just everyday adulting life. um There's a lot of things like this weekend where, you know, I have ah have a beautiful family and I got to spend
00:31:03
echo_blades
a day with, you know, two of my kids and enjoy that time. And, um, I don't, I don't take that for granted. So, um, even though I thought about knife making a lot, uh, it's, it's really, uh, it really kind of just brings home and, and I'm really looking forward to kind of this, this time off here. Cause we will have a four days off and.
00:31:25
echo_blades
Uh, get, get my, the sand of all crew together and, and spend some time together and with my wife and kids and just keep it low key. Cause this one's going to be a little tough without, uh, without grandpa, uh, with that loss is still, uh, weighs heavy, um, every day.
00:31:37
Denis Tyrell
Yep.
00:31:43
echo_blades
And this was one of, uh, the. I mean, just the holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas is is just not going to be the same without her. um So happy to be together and with the with everyone and just be thankful for it all.
00:32:03
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
Sushi Dinner Humor
00:32:04
Denis Tyrell
I mean, we're doing kind of a low key as well. Just, um, the immediate fam, like the Kaylin Memphis are coming over and my boys and, um, I think that's about it. Um, and, um, yeah, we're just doing the Turkey dinner kind of thing. And yeah, but I, I tell you, like spending, you talk about spending time with the kids and.
00:32:32
Denis Tyrell
you know, starting to think about like, you know, kids are going to be grown up and, you know, won't want to spend as much time with dad. And it's, it was really good to spend, you know, those two days with Parker. And, you know, I just see him, you know, it's, it's fun to see him kind of as an adult, like to hang out with like my adult friends. Um, and,
00:32:58
Denis Tyrell
talk about adult things. And it's, it's, you know, I, I still think of him as a little kid sometimes, but, you know, he's 19 and, you know, he, you know, he has opinions and he helped. He was helping us in the shop and fabbing stuff and giving opinions and, you know, it was cool. So it was a, it was a fun time having him there.
00:33:20
echo_blades
Yeah. I agree. I can't. I can't. 100%. That's really what I ah didn't intend to, but I'm i'm glad that yeah that it's kind of tailed that way because, you know, for the people with the younger kids, you know, the time goes by quick and then, you know, you got to add old kids and you start making knives and you don't have time to do it.
00:33:41
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Well, I do when when Parker and I were in Reno. So friday I told him beforehand because the boys, both my boys love sushi and we go out for dinner. The three of us, it costs me a fortune because they can eat. So I said to Parker in Reno, they have all you can eat sushi. So we're going to go in and have that. So Rick was like really tired. So it was just Parker and I. We get there and sit down and ask her.
00:34:11
Denis Tyrell
You know, what, how does this work? And she says really quickly, Oh yeah, it's like 30, no, no, no, no. And you can pick from this page and this page. Well, we both thought, thought she said 39. Okay.
00:34:23
Denis Tyrell
It was actually 30 99. We were thrilled at 39. So that's how it started. So we sit down and at the top of the menu, it says, um, like in the nigiri, like, you know, the fish pieces on rice, right?
00:34:38
echo_blades
oh yeah yeah
00:34:40
Denis Tyrell
And it says two pieces per order. um But for all you can eat, it's one piece per order. And they give you a little thing where you check off what you want and you give them the paper.
00:34:51
Denis Tyrell
So we ordered like we can both eat. We ordered like four rolls and a whole bunch of nigiri. They bring it to us and it's twice as much as what we ordered.
00:35:04
echo_blades
Yeah, oh yeah, uh-huh,
00:35:04
Denis Tyrell
So apparently, even though I read on the menu to no, no, so we ordered
00:35:08
echo_blades
yeah, yeah.
00:35:10
Denis Tyrell
16 pieces. They brought us 32. Plus the rolls and Parker and I look at each other and it's like it is very bad not to eat everything you order it and all you can eat sushi place like they really don't like that.
00:35:25
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:35:26
Denis Tyrell
So we had to stuff ourselves um leaving that before we left that place.
00:35:30
echo_blades
You put a clinic on her.
00:35:31
Denis Tyrell
So it was Uh, yeah, we, we put an, an eating clinic on it was, uh, it was pretty crazy, but he had a good time and loved it.
00:35:37
echo_blades
Nice.
00:35:40
Denis Tyrell
And like, I got the bill and it was like 80 bucks. I couldn't believe it.
00:35:43
echo_blades
Yeah, that's crazy. That's still, that's still mind blowing.
00:35:45
Denis Tyrell
And I had a beer.
00:35:46
echo_blades
Yeah, that's mind blowing to me.
00:35:50
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:35:50
echo_blades
That's crazy. So what are you making for for Thanksgiving? You guys making a ah Cobra goose? but feast
00:35:59
Denis Tyrell
We're doing the typical Turkey, um, My stepdaughter, Kayla, makes amazing pies, even though much to my chagrin, she's not making the crust for this one, um which I've already voiced my displeasure because she makes really, really awesome pie crust.
00:36:18
Denis Tyrell
But I guess she's going to buy the crust, but make the pie. and So ah but we're doing.
00:36:24
echo_blades
What's your favorite pie?
00:36:26
Denis Tyrell
My favorite pie is like a blueberry pie.
00:36:29
echo_blades
Really?
00:36:30
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, absolutely.
00:36:32
echo_blades
At all the pies, you're, you're picking blueberry?
00:36:35
Denis Tyrell
I'm picking blueberry.
00:36:37
Denis Tyrell
Blueberry or or even like a mixed berry pie. That's the shit. Not pumpkin, not apple. but
00:36:37
echo_blades
ah
00:36:46
echo_blades
Pecan, tell I die.
00:36:48
Denis Tyrell
Pecan.
00:36:49
echo_blades
Pecan.
00:36:50
Denis Tyrell
Oh, speaking of, okay. So the state that Reno is in, how do you pronounce it?
00:36:58
echo_blades
Nevada.
00:36:59
Denis Tyrell
Nevada, okay. Because I got tagged by Rick by saying Nevada. He's like, no, it's Nevada.
00:37:06
echo_blades
It's Nevada.
00:37:10
Denis Tyrell
ah Yeah, I got corrected twice from him.
00:37:14
echo_blades
Yep.
00:37:15
Denis Tyrell
But yeah, we're doing the to you know, the turkey, the stuffing, the BMS, the.
00:37:18
echo_blades
You
00:37:22
Denis Tyrell
Oh, like I love Turkey.
00:37:23
echo_blades
like Turkey?
00:37:26
Denis Tyrell
I think it's a delivery system for cranberry sauce, but
00:37:29
echo_blades
Oh, I'm not. a I'm not a cranberry guy.
00:37:32
Denis Tyrell
You've never had my cranberry sauce, my homemade cranberry sauce.
00:37:35
echo_blades
Hmm.
00:37:37
Denis Tyrell
It's good.
00:37:38
echo_blades
Yeah, I always pass. I like ham better than turkey, so.
00:37:42
Denis Tyrell
I can see all kinds of weird.
00:37:44
echo_blades
Mm hmm. And we probably are going to have some tamales too.
00:37:47
Denis Tyrell
Oh, I love tamales.
00:37:49
echo_blades
So we'll see.
00:37:51
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, Kim came home but last last week, you know, a couple of weeks ago and she goes, oh, I got these tamales. I bought them out of the back of some guy's car. I'm like, give them to me right now.
00:37:59
echo_blades
at a girl.
00:38:02
echo_blades
It's dangerous, but it's sometimes well worth it.
00:38:05
Denis Tyrell
Oh, the they were some of the best tamales I've had there.
00:38:08
echo_blades
Yeah. You see them with the, with the little, uh, styrofoam coolers that we can't find every time we're traveling across the
Thanksgiving Meal Preparations
00:38:16
echo_blades
country looking for a cooler.
00:38:16
Denis Tyrell
Right.
00:38:17
echo_blades
Those are the, there's gold in those things. When there's tamales, they open it up. It's like, ah,
00:38:25
echo_blades
rays of sunlight coming out from, from tamale. So, oh, good for her. That's cool.
00:38:30
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, years ago, we used to cut Christmas, our own Christmas tree down in Santa Cruz. And there was always a woman there with a cooler that would sell the tamales and I'd be like, I don't care about the Christmas tree.
00:38:42
Denis Tyrell
I just want to go for the tamales.
00:38:43
echo_blades
Yeah, there you go.
00:38:45
Denis Tyrell
And they were done by the time we got like back down to the highway.
00:38:51
echo_blades
That's funny.
00:38:51
Denis Tyrell
Good tamales, man.
00:38:54
echo_blades
I love it. Um, yeah, my, my daughter's, uh, does, uh, banks as well. And she had, uh, she was, did a test, uh, pumpkin pie, and then she made up a pecan pie.
00:39:09
echo_blades
And just, uh, just a like a couple of pieces that she brought for us to test.
00:39:14
Denis Tyrell
Mm-hmm.
00:39:15
echo_blades
Dude, I cannot be trusted alone with pecan pie.
00:39:20
Denis Tyrell
It's so sweet.
00:39:21
echo_blades
Oh my God. It's so good. Like. It made me like, I felt like I was one of those burnouts in, in Philadelphia, Skid Row. There's like this reel of these hop heads that are just like, like like somebody drove down the street and they hit pause on the entire street and there's a bunch of just, just more like stuck, kind of like swaying back and forth.
00:39:32
Denis Tyrell
the
00:39:37
Denis Tyrell
you
00:39:44
Denis Tyrell
ah
00:39:46
echo_blades
That's how I feel when I, when I, it's so good. I am.
00:39:49
Denis Tyrell
Okay. Okay. So you like, if you like pecan pie, I'm going to reach out to all my Canadian listeners and friends here. Jared would love butter tarts. Have you ever had a butter tart?
00:40:01
echo_blades
I've never heard of a butter tart.
00:40:02
Denis Tyrell
Okay. It's a Canadian dessert. It, it, I don't like them. Same thing. They're extremely sweet, but very much like a pecan pecan pie, but in a little tart.
00:40:15
echo_blades
and
00:40:17
Denis Tyrell
They're very popular in Canada.
00:40:21
echo_blades
Do ship well, Canadians?
00:40:22
Denis Tyrell
I don't know when someday we're going to go to Canada and I'll make sure you get poutine.
00:40:27
echo_blades
Well, hurry up and finish those damn katanas and bring back some butterscotch or butter crap or tarts or butter cooking.

echo_blades
I know a guy out there who sells everything you need for knife making. Have you heard of him?
00:41:02
Denis Tyrell
I have, and he loves butter tarts cause we've had this discussion.

You know what I still have? Look at this.
00:41:08
Denis Tyrell
Oh yeah. Eat more.
00:41:11
echo_blades

Who has everything that you need for your knife making from scales, abrasives, steel, grinders, attachments, multiple of our other wonderful sponsors, ah products, anything you need, ah Lawrence has it. And if you can't find it, he will go figure out where to get it and look it up for you.
00:41:40
echo_blades
Not only that, but he's one hell of a dude who always gives back to the community. um I do want to mention that the $2,000 scholarship for the New England School of Metalworks is um still going on and you have until the December 1st. If you are between the ages of 16 and 30,
00:41:59
echo_blades
get that application in and for a chance to win that $2,000 towards class and accommodations for the intro to bladesmithing class that they have up there. So um just one of the many cool things that Lawrence does and provides for the community. Also, I do know that this weekend you guys can also look forward to a Black Friday or it's Boxing Day, right?
00:42:29
Denis Tyrell
No.

echo_blades
After Christmas?
00:42:32
Denis Tyrell

00:42:32

Precision in Knife Making
00:44:50
Denis Tyrell
So I want to, something interesting came up at interesting, annoying for Rick, but came up at Rick's place and it kind of tied into triple T last week, which my triple T was all about precision and precision tools. And, you know, now that I'm obviously into folders, precision matters. And a good little example of this, we're at Rick's place and he's,
00:45:17
echo_blades
Sizes always matter, Dennis. I mean, oh, person's in my fault.
00:45:19
Denis Tyrell
I said, precision, not size.
00:45:21
echo_blades
Okay, all right. Yeah, it's hard to add a couple inches on that. You're talking millimeters. that
00:45:28
Denis Tyrell
um We're at Rick's place and he's, I can tell he's visibly annoyed and he's he's asking me about the pivot. And he says here, and he hands me his, the the folder that he's working on, the first folder after the course. And he's like, try the pivot. And the pivot is visibly loose.
00:45:48
Denis Tyrell
moving back and forth. And I said, I'm asking him the obvious questions. You know, are you a dumb ass? And did you drill the whole wrong? And he assures me, no, it's drilled reamed to one eight seven five, because they're three sixteenths.
00:46:05
Denis Tyrell
And he goes, take the pivot out here, measure the pivot. He hands me a Midetoyu calipers.
00:46:12
echo_blades
Same ones I have.
00:46:13
Denis Tyrell
Right.
00:46:13
echo_blades
Yep.
00:46:14
Denis Tyrell
Measure them. His pivot is
00:46:15
echo_blades
Matsumoto. They're called Matsumoto.
00:46:19
Denis Tyrell
His pivot is one eight six. And then he hands me Midetoyu.
00:46:27
echo_blades
Matsumoto.
00:46:28
Denis Tyrell
Not a caliper. What's the other thing?
00:46:31
echo_blades
Micrometer.
00:46:32
Denis Tyrell
Micrometer. And we measure it again. One eight six. So his pivot is off by, you know, one and a half thou, which doesn't sound like a lot, but on a pivot for a folder that is like a football field.
00:46:48
Denis Tyrell
Um, and it's, and it's the pivots that he got from wherever he got them.
00:46:49
echo_blades
ouch teaser
00:46:55
Denis Tyrell
I'm not going to name the company, but, um, so yeah, we sit there and lamented. What is he going to do when I, and just to prove it, I took apart the folder that I brought to take the pivot out and put the pivot in his knife.
00:47:09
Denis Tyrell
And then it was rock solid. And I got my pivots from a different, uh, from a different source. So.
00:47:17
echo_blades
teas her
00:47:18
Denis Tyrell
So that, that shows you how much precision matters when you're talking about a thousandth of an inch, making a big difference. So yeah, get yourself some, uh, some good measuring equipment, uh, and get your stuff from, from a reputable place.
00:47:38
Denis Tyrell
But, um, yeah.
00:47:38
echo_blades
That sucks, dude. So, so the pivots he got were not what they said they were.
00:47:40
Denis Tyrell
is
00:47:43
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:47:44
echo_blades
Ouch.
00:47:45
Denis Tyrell
And the funny thing is that the worst he called the guy and the guy said, oh, no, no, no, like my my pivots are accurate to the millionth of an inch. OK, but but they range.
00:47:54
echo_blades
Ooh.
00:47:56
Denis Tyrell
This is what the guy said. But they range between one eight or one eight six three to one eight seven two.
Dagger Sale and Social Media Challenges
00:48:05
Denis Tyrell
Like if they're within a millionth of an inch, why are they varying by almost a thousandth?
00:48:12
Denis Tyrell
Like yeah That sentence did not make sense to what you just said. So yeah, he's gonna shit can those pivots and use ah you some others.
00:48:25
Denis Tyrell
But.
00:48:25
echo_blades
That's a bummer.
00:48:26
echo_blades
I'm sorry, Rick. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Thank you for that message you sent me today.
00:48:31
Denis Tyrell
Oh.

Denis Tyrell
Oh, you know, you bastard.
00:48:55

00:49:04
Denis Tyrell

echo_blades
See?
00:49:11
Denis Tyrell
I'm like, there's no border. There's. It's not like we're not crossing into Mexico here. There's no border.
00:49:18
echo_blades
All you gotta do is report an apple, dude. They don't care about your chew.
00:49:22
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I may or may not have stopped at Cabela's and bought some ammo, which also isn't allowed, but.
00:49:28
echo_blades
ah
00:49:31
echo_blades
That's cool. Well, thank you, sir. I do appreciate it because I was down to another brand.
00:49:38
Denis Tyrell
i part It was Parker's idea. We were going to where we were just leaving Cabela's. They had a whole jar of Cabela's brand chew. We were really tempted to buy a couple of those because they were...
00:49:50
echo_blades
Isn't that like beef jerky? It's beef jerky.
00:49:52
Denis Tyrell
Is it?
00:49:52
echo_blades
It's not true. Yeah, it's beef jerky.
00:49:54
Denis Tyrell
That would have been even better.
00:49:58
Denis Tyrell
like because Because they were like three bucks.
00:49:58
echo_blades
ah bella's Yeah, it's beef jerky, dude. it's
00:50:05
Denis Tyrell
Damn it. Now I wish I would have.

00:50:08
Denis Tyrell
Just handed you a bag of like a bunch of those taped together.
00:50:14
echo_blades
I would have known right off the bat though, but that's good. Yeah. Such is life travel in the States for tobacco.
00:50:21
Denis Tyrell

00:50:24
echo_blades
So but anyways, yeah, I appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you for not forgetting.
00:50:27
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, you're welcome. And you know, they have drive up um like smoke tobacco places in Reno.
00:50:37
echo_blades

00:50:38
Denis Tyrell
that
00:50:42
Denis Tyrell
oh Oh, it's like, that's crazy.
00:50:42
echo_blades
Because Rick and I went last time. Yeah. It was it blew my mind when I was there too. It's like, can I have a drone?
00:50:52
Denis Tyrell
who
00:50:56
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, that's what I felt like.
00:50:57
echo_blades
Uh, it was good. Do you know what I heard today from somebody is that now at, uh, I don't ever eat there.
00:50:59
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:51:05
echo_blades
Um, I'm big for a lot of reasons, but eating at Carl's juniors isn't one of them. Cause I don't, I don't ever eat there, but some people were telling me that they have ditched, uh, live people, um, that you order to and you order through AI.
00:51:22
Denis Tyrell
Really? That's annoying.
00:51:25
echo_blades
And he said they got the order completely right. And they were trying to throw like curve balls because they found out it wasn't, it was, it they knew it was an AI. And they said they got it at the drive-thru.
00:51:35
Denis Tyrell
Oh, you mean at the drive-thru. Oh, I thought you meant at the counter. I'm like, no.
00:51:40
echo_blades
No. Oh yeah. No, I mean, I cook in the burger, but yeah, when you drive up, yeah, they don't have anybody man in the, uh, the, uh, drive-thru.
00:51:50
Denis Tyrell
Huh.
00:51:50
echo_blades
It was interesting. I was like, what? Cause, you know,
00:51:54
Denis Tyrell
I haven't been to a Carl's Jr. since they had $6 burgers. Are they still $6? Do they still call them $6 burgers?
00:52:02
echo_blades
I don't think anything $6 anymore.
00:52:04
Denis Tyrell
I know, but...
00:52:05
echo_blades
I ordered a burrito from a place by my work. And let's say a couple of years ago, they were nine bucks.
00:52:11
Denis Tyrell
Probably $18
00:52:14
echo_blades
And then they went to fucking after COVID, they popped up to like 13 bucks.
00:52:15
Denis Tyrell
now.
00:52:20
echo_blades
And that makes me go like, what the hell? But I kind of accepted that everything's kind of gone up. $16.
00:52:28
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. Don't want.
00:52:28
echo_blades
Now, last week, I was like, what?
00:52:31
echo_blades
I was the one telling like you're lucky. I really liked burritos because I sent this thing back, but yeah, 16 bucks.
00:52:38
Denis Tyrell
Yeah. I mean the place at the corner that I like the regular burrito, not even the big one.
00:52:40
echo_blades
You could.
00:52:42
Denis Tyrell
The regular one is 18 bucks.
00:52:44
echo_blades
Yeah, you could not be a Patreon for the work port podcast anymore for that rate.
00:52:53
Denis Tyrell
That's true.
00:52:54
echo_blades
That is true. So.
00:52:56
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, things have gone up.
00:52:58
echo_blades
ye
Key Traits for Master Knifemakers
00:53:00
echo_blades
but Yeah. uh, yeah.
00:53:02
Denis Tyrell
But I did end the week on a high note because I sold the Nosferatu dagger, which I was happy about. Had to make the sheath for that before I left, but shipped it out today. So that is the opposite of ah the Mexico knife fiasco, um because it was somebody, not local, but someone in the US, only a stay couple of states away.
00:53:30
Denis Tyrell
But it was fun to get to ship that one out. and I put a little reel up with the...
00:53:35
echo_blades
What was the steal on that one?
00:53:37
Denis Tyrell
It's Damascus, so it's 1084 and 15 and 20.
00:53:41
echo_blades
No, what what was the steal?
00:53:44
echo_blades
What was it? That was the basket weave.
00:53:46
Denis Tyrell
That was the basket split, yeah.
00:53:47
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:53:48
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:53:48
echo_blades
That's what that pattern.
00:53:51
Denis Tyrell
Yep.
00:53:53
echo_blades
Sorry.
00:53:54
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:53:54
echo_blades
That's what I meant to say.
00:53:55
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
00:53:56
Denis Tyrell
But did you see the real?
00:53:57
echo_blades
Well, cool.
00:53:57
echo_blades
Congrats.
00:53:58
Denis Tyrell
Did you see the sheath for that one?
00:54:00
echo_blades
I did not.
00:54:01
Denis Tyrell
Oh, you have to check Instagram. Look at the real. It came out nice.
00:54:03
echo_blades
Oh, cool.
00:54:04
Denis Tyrell
I liked it. So hidden stitching on the front because the it was like shark skin over ray skin and it was sitting over the stitching.
00:54:14
Denis Tyrell
So there's no stitching on the front.
00:54:15
echo_blades
Oh, cool.
00:54:16
Denis Tyrell
So I like. Yeah, it looks cool.
00:54:18
Denis Tyrell
It's all black, of course, because the blade is black. So hopefully. yeah Hopefully he likes it because I haven't i never sent him a picture of the sheath. so
00:54:18
echo_blades
Yeah.
00:54:29
echo_blades
Wow. Surprise motherfucker.
00:54:33
echo_blades
No, that's cool. And I've, uh, in and out of Instagram and social media altogether. Um, as of late, I forced myself to do a couple of reels, um, last week. I did one for the, uh, that little EDC that I ah made the sheath for with my mom.
00:54:52
echo_blades
Um, I put that one out and then I did some stories. um My son and I were golfing in that golf tracker thing, but I've been kind of bummed with Instagram because I don't know if I'm not bummed and it's nothing that's like high on my priority list, but I have been stuck at 1500 and 95 followers for what seems like forever. Like, and I think overall, like I had a.
00:55:18
echo_blades
getting close to where I'm at within a couple thousand was easy. Like happened so fast, but I think I, luckily I got in right before the, you know, the Instagram shit hit the fan, but dude, I haven't at 15 95 go down to 15 92 go up to 15 98 go back down. It's like, I get a bunch of bots and then they all disappear. So.
00:55:43
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, they do a correct bot correction.
00:55:45
echo_blades
Yeah, it's kind of weird, but you know, I know you're not, you got to put into it to get, get that back out, but yeah, I don't know.
00:55:55
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, I'm like, I'm lucky if I post once a week now on Instagram. It's just my head's not in it.
00:56:02
echo_blades
Yeah, same. And the feed, my feed is like just not what it used to be either. You know, you're, uh, I get a lot of ads and
00:56:13
Denis Tyrell
I was gonna say it's all titties now.
00:56:15
echo_blades
No, that's the other account. Hey, that's our discount code, dude. Relax. Okay. Tenings plus another T. All right, get out of here. Yeah, no, that's, that's, that's my, my personal account. Two different stories there.

echo_blades
We'll be in there. I was telling Dennis a long time ago, we were traveling and I'm like, searching through there and I'll pop to the other account. I'm like, Oh Jesus. Like, I gotta be careful who I'm in line with.

echo_blades

Denis Tyrell
The listener question is, What personality traits are most important for a master knifemaker? From Gene Kunkel,
01:01:04
Denis Tyrell
8-0-0-1. This is from ah probably YouTube.
01:01:11
Denis Tyrell
um So what's your I want your take on this. What personality traits are most important for a master knifemaker?
01:01:11
echo_blades
and Okay.
01:01:19
echo_blades
Personality traits.
01:01:26
echo_blades
My first reaction is, does it fucking matter? But I don't care what you are.
01:01:31
Denis Tyrell
yeah
01:01:33
echo_blades
No, um, I think, uh, I think Humility is probably one the biggest one that'll stick out to me. Like if you're approachable, um I mean, talk of personality here. So I get to get my judge on right now. If you're a dick, unapproachable, come off like you know it all. Your shit doesn't stink. You're the best in the world. I'm not interested in and fucking with you at all. Master Smith or not, right? um That's been a really, really, really awesome
01:02:05
echo_blades
but experience for me is that I haven't ran into many people that are like that. So for makers of any skill level, um I think that's that's really important to me. If you're relatable, cool, talkable, um and just downright just a decent, cool person, I'm um into it. And I want to talk and I want to learn and I want to pick your brain and I want to show you what I have and um get some feedback and whatnot, but yeah, if you're not approachable or down to earth, then you can kick rocks with your cool knives, Mr. Knife Master, whatever you are.
01:02:46
echo_blades
Because I'm not i'm not interested. but i'm and i but Obviously, I feel passionate about that, right? But I think more times than not, um people fall into the other category of that's been my experience. So um as far as personality goes, yeah, just don't be a douche. And and I'm into it.
01:03:06
Denis Tyrell
and So what, but to be a better, like a master knife maker, what do you, well, obviously approachable. What, what other things, what what other items do you think, uh, personality traits or traits you think they should have?
01:03:22
Denis Tyrell
Or, well, yeah, like personality trait, yeah a maker trait, like what's, what do you, what do you, what do you think, uh, you know, think of your favorite, you know, high level master.
01:03:22
echo_blades
Like maker trades, like I ah just said it.
01:03:35
Denis Tyrell
What do you think there? the good traits you think they have.
01:03:43
Denis Tyrell
All right. I think probably the most important is like attention to detail. Being able to see the little things, see the little nuances of a knife. I think that is probably one of the most, like that makes a really important master is being able to look at a knife and say,
01:04:08
Denis Tyrell
Yeah, this swedge on one side is off by five thousandths of an inch then from the other side, like that kind of detail. I think that's what separates the masters from and and not just seeing it being able to fix it, of course. um And knowing, you know, giving you the tips on, yeah, yeah, just do this or just do that.
01:04:32
Denis Tyrell
um Yeah, like I got a couple of good tips from Mike V on for folders. I've had ah like my um my lockup on the folder I'm assuming is sticking a little bit. Just put a little of that tap fluid on it that you tap the holes with and that'll make it less less sticky and release a little easier, like little things like that. So yeah, attention to detail.
01:05:05
echo_blades
I can get on board with that once they're decent people.
01:05:09
Denis Tyrell
But I mean, that sentence aside, like, you know, you can be a master knife maker and still be a dick, but you could be good at it, you know.
01:05:13
echo_blades
I know. ah
01:05:18
echo_blades
Yeah, but if you're a dick, you're not gonna share that that attention to detail with people, unless, you know, there's a select few, right?
01:05:23
Denis Tyrell
That's true. That's true.
01:05:24
echo_blades
So I'm not trying to be an ass, but I was kind of trying to be an ass to you right there. But ah yeah, no, I think that's ah that's a good one. And I mean,
01:05:34
echo_blades
mastermaker journey, ah journeyman. yeah the It's the sharing of ah of the knowledge in a way that is easily received and hopefully beneficial to the person, right? And encouraging um as you're ripping the shit out of them.
01:05:51
echo_blades
like are good like We always talk about my experience with with Mike V the first time. um you know does Those words will never, ever leave my my head. like Every time my hand's in, i I think of him coming down out of his glasses looking down at me. you know like You know, if you're going to handstand fucking handstand, you know, don't, don't, don't be lazy about it.
01:06:12
echo_blades
Right. And and it wasn't mean and it wasn't, uh, it was, um, a purposeful criticism or, uh, and, and I appreciate it.
01:06:21
Denis Tyrell
yeah
01:06:22
echo_blades
So, um, but yeah, I haven't had the opportunity to present, uh, or approach a master Smith in that, that sense to where the, uh, I was.
01:06:38
echo_blades
that kind of feedback was important.
01:06:40
Denis Tyrell
Yeah.
01:06:40
echo_blades
I haven't had that experience yet. So for someone like you, I can know, I can totally relate with you when you were shopping around, um not shopping around, but taking your journeyman set around and and seeking out feedback from Master Smiths as you were getting ready to test for journeymen.
01:06:42
Denis Tyrell
Right.
01:06:59
echo_blades
And, you know, the stories of this one was very helpful and this one wasn't, right?
01:07:05
Denis Tyrell
Yes. And a couple of them were dicks like, like, like you said, a couple of them didn't didn't give good info and weren't very approachable.
01:07:10
echo_blades
Weird. Yeah.
01:07:18
Denis Tyrell
But, uh, yeah, so you're right.
01:07:19
echo_blades
Yeah.
01:07:20
Denis Tyrell
That is an important one as well.
01:07:22
echo_blades
It is, but no, I agree though. It's, but I've had some really, really solid feedback from, from people that weren't masters of Smith's, you know?
01:07:32
Denis Tyrell
Oh yeah, of course.
01:07:33
echo_blades
And, but, um, yeah. So that's an interesting question. It's kind of a... I think it was geared for you.
01:07:47
Denis Tyrell
Well, it was a question to me, but I wanted to get your your point of view.
01:07:53
echo_blades
just to nobody du cool ah Yeah.
01:07:57
Denis Tyrell
you know who's You know who's not a nobody? He's like, yeah, me.
01:08:04
echo_blades
but I just said I was. Get out of here. Tell me, tell me. I i have a a bunch of nobodies.
01:08:13
Denis Tyrell
Mr. Frank Machado at two bastards, uh, Texas Smithy and supplies who I just saw. I was, I was trolling through Instagram and I saw someone taking a Tomahawk class.
01:08:26
Denis Tyrell
I'm like, wait a second. That's Frank.
01:08:28
echo_blades
That's right.
01:08:28
Denis Tyrell
Uh, so he took an, uh, a Tomahawk class with Jeff Davidson.
01:08:32
echo_blades
That's right.
01:08:32
Denis Tyrell
So that was cool. So, Hey, even if you're a hammer maker, you can make Tomahawks and you can, you can take a class and you can get info from other people. And I bet you. I bet you Frank used his two bastards fat peen to make that tomahawk. Just guessing, but I'm pretty sure he did.
01:08:50
echo_blades
