it's here it's got it in the mail and let me before I show you my car mom
enough this is the swamp devil that's a real departure from anything I would
normally think a knife should look like which is why I'm gonna make it because
uh I kind of like pushing the boundaries of my own limits and I'm gonna just make
it because it's not something I would normally make I did cut it out make it a
pattern so I am going to put this in my my repertoire of knives I am going to
make the cat's paw and I'm gonna make this and I'm gonna use black my card up
and red pins I'm going to put it in a black sheath called the swamp devil and
it's gonna have I'm gonna see if I can put a ballute finish on here not a satin
not a polished but blued and we'll see what that looks like
all right now I've not played this I'm not played of our Monica in many many
years I don't have the air and there's the first time I picked up harmonica so
I'm not going to get fancy I'm just gonna probably play simple folk tune or
something well you think of something I'm sick today
okay what's got a nice tone to it really nice
I'll find it well let's see what some was i singing
the other day no no don't have the don't have the right notes for that I'll think
of something I just got it let me play with it a little bit well yeah I got
some more bird's-eye maple and here's where I got it they have a website let
me make sure I'll have a name on here where's your website well that's what
here we go what crap calm and it's really just got a lot of where they call
it text Birds Eye and better a split but that probably does not go all the way
through and might be just superficial yeah it's just superficial so no big
deal alright well I had used my last piece of
bird's-eye maple on a neck knife of gut in my and the house I'm putting some
true oil on and this is 5 inches wide 3/4 thick 2 feet long that's actually a
good chunk of bird's-eye maple for 23 bucks not bad I get a lot of knife
handles out of that it's well worth 23 bucks and actually it is my favorite
wood as long as it's got a decent amount of these birds eyes on there in that
strains oh how it kind of stops here and then it gets really light here very very
interesting say yet both sides got a lot down this end and not so much on this
end although it's still you know got enough it's still pretty looking wood
well back in business with the bird's-eye maple like I say it's my
favorite knife handle wood it's the prettiest wood and you use this
bird's-eye maple with a walnut liner and for some reason it just really really
looks beautiful okay I'm gonna go play with my harmonica a little bit all right
I am committed I'm going to cut it out and I've got enough room left here
I do believe not quite oh well I could have moved this up a little bit more but
still wouldn't that giving me enough okay well I'll figure something out to
use this for and this is the harmonica I'm sending it back it's you know $99
basically shipped and since I can't play it I'm gonna ship it back I just don't
have the air and the air that I have is is barely enough to keep me in oxygen
when I move around so anyway it's not gonna get any better it's
probably gonna get worse so I'm not gonna waste any more time or something I
know what I can't do anyway back to the knives I'm gonna cut these out and I'm
kind of looking forward to building the swamp devil see you tomorrow it's late
in the day I'm going in and put a couple coats of true oil on a neck knife I have
made and Desiree's swamp diva and I want to give you a little heads up I'm going
to make a swamp diva for Breast Cancer Awareness Month and on October 21st as a
breast answer Awareness Day and I'll have this
knife made by then it's gonna have these pink handles as going in a black sheath
I have pink string I have the stamp the Breast Cancer Awareness stamp that I
want to stamp in the leather and then fill it in with some pink enamel and
it's going to be on a swamp diva blade not this one but I'll cut another one
out but I just wanted you if you if you want to participate to keep that in mind
I'm going to do a live stream and
auction it off to the highest bidder and the proceeds all of it will go to breast
cancer research and I'll show you my payment you know it'll all be on I'll be
on the on the up and up and anyway we'll get to that
thanks for watching y'all okay I lied I didn't go in I couldn't resist so here
they are here's here's where I here's what I've done you basically you know
what I've done i put dyke' him on my 1095 I trace my patterns out using my
scratch awl traced around the patterns I cook these out on addy Walt bandsaw with
swag table and then I went to my one by 42 excuse me
my two by 42 jet belt grinder and I smooth all the edges and corners and
made them the sharp and tight I did this with my drum Sanders same here I'll show
you them they're air air they're dye grinders both of them and they run off
of air and then I put these both sides on my 4 by 36 belt sander to get them
perfectly flat and get out of house and now I drilled my by quarter inch pin
holes on two three here and one two here I have a piece of wood a dock see I
pronounced it I pronounced it paddock but thugs criminals jailbirds and
mentally handicapped people pronounce it Duke or Arizonans but that's the same
thing so he knows who he is anyway here's my Paducah doc and this is for a
friend of mine in Bakersfield California you ever walk the streets of Baker's for
you okay I'm gonna get some black micarta some red pens I don't have any
red pens I just got some written some tins in and I actually I ordered red
pens but she said well we're out of red pens is there anything else you'd like
and I just grabbed me something and she grabbed me this one right here which is
a see if I can get this thing focused because it's kind of a cool pen
I like it the one in the middle I like them all
but I told her that she didn't have the red one just pick one out because I
wasn't at my computer but I am going to be looking for some red pins that's what
I want to put on here so if you have any input I really don't want to change this
style but if you have input as to you know the sheath or handle material or
anything that would make it more wicked and new-age and devilish and this I like
it I like the way it feels in my hand it's gonna feel really good when I get
the burdock on there the dock deepa dock on there there's been some
discussion as to the pronunciation and I'm kind of messing with a guy who says
it's pronounced another way anyway that's gonna be nice and I finally
figured out how to make a short handle feel good in your hand and that's just
to make it really big and round and there's plenty to grab on I want to put
some jimping up here it's gonna be a handy little knife okay little feedback
and I'm going in take a shower what time you had a bath too isn't it
yeah I think we're both gonna have baths see you tomorrow
