all right I have moved up to 220
and I am figuring out ways to eliminate just a portion of the hand sanding like uh
the back of this I have drum Sanders and what I do is I cut the Sandpaper thin like this wrap
it around my drum sander and then do the spine and that eliminates a lot of the hand sanding
but what I wanted to talk about is Rumble now I have a bunch of people that I'm subscribed to
Friends on YouTube and I just wanted to encourage you to start a rumble Channel Rumble is growing
really fast now and I think the reason is people have just had their fill
of entities like Twitter and Facebook and YouTube controlling the words that come out of your mouth
and uh the very careful dance you have to do around subjects that they don't want you to
talk about and people have just had their fill of it uh I got banned on Twitter the other day
I I don't I haven't had a Twitter account for long and I don't really do much on Twitter but
I come across this lady it was a white lady who said uh you know black people don't have
any racial slurs for white people and I said well apparently you haven't been called a white devil
or a cracker or a honky I mean unless you consider those not racial slurs anyway within minutes of
me posting that Twitter Banned Me I'm you know I don't care it's just it's just uh funny how
social media works and YouTube is the same way if you're of one flavor you can say pretty much
anything you want and even make threats but if you're of another flavor and I'm not talking
about race I'm talking about gender flavor okay basically if you're part of the woke crowd
uh you have free reign to say what you want to people including making threats and all that
but uh if you have an opposing opinion they uh punish you they ban you like Twitter did
so anyway here's the thing Rumble you set your Rumble up account and you really don't have to
do anything with it you just nail your name down that's the thing then the point I'm trying to make
is if you go there now chances are you can keep your YouTube name and it's really easy
it's a simple process to start an account over there and you don't have to do anything after
that after you set up your account properly Rumble will automatically upload your videos from YouTube
all of them and you just go to Youtube upload your normal video and within you know an hour
or two that video is up on Rumble so it's sort of a backup to number one your name and number
two your videos I just wanted to make that suggestion uh my friend down in San Antonio
John Big Chief leatherworks uh suggested that I mentioned to another friend of ours
that he started Rumble channel so uh I'm not just mentioning to him I'm mentioning it to everyone
Rumble I think is the next thing uh behind YouTube and Rumble is growing really fast
and uh they're they're adding features like going live and stuff like that and the feature that they
do have that makes it just too simple to have a rumble channel is the fact that they upload your V
your videos automatically to rumble once you start your account up the correctly I mean you have a
choice of whether you want them to do that or not and uh recently I think it's been probably right
out a year ago they offered the opportunity where they would go to YouTube and download all your
videos onto Rumble and I did that so every single one of my nearly 3 000 videos are on Rumble now I
don't go to rumble often and answer comments every once in a while I do just keep that account active
but I spend most of my time on YouTube answering comments and you know and that but that was my
what I wanted to start this video over to this the fact that I'm number one working on knives number
two in the shop and uh I'm gonna get this up to uh probably 3 20 today and then I'm gonna go cut half
I started on a tree in Bev's yard cutting it down it's a Bradford pear tree which are just britable
horrible awful trees especially when they get old and they start dying limbs just fall off and heavy
my God these trees are heavy and uh anyway I'm not able to do it all at once I'm just cutting
it a little a limit at a time is what I'm cutting it down and today I'm going to cuddle them down
and tomorrow I'll cut the last limb down and get that tree out of there so
that's what my day-to-day is going to be like sanding on this and then cutting a tree so I just
wanted to number one suggest if you don't have a rumble Channel even if you don't put up videos
just go ahead and start an account so you can comment on other videos
and I'm only saying that because at the rate Rumble is growing that you know you may not
have your name you may have to start another name uh okay that's it have a good day y'all
okay these are the uh the this is the wood that I'm going to use for the handles
and it's a diamond Lux and they are very they uh sand up real nice interesting figure
and I'm gonna they're not thick enough they're only a quarter inch so I'm gonna add another
piece of veneer this is bakody and I can't decide whether I want to put the Kodi on the outside
or the inside because it does have some interesting grain
I don't know
this should be the outside actually I don't know I could put these either way so it doesn't
matter if I I'm just going to glue them on so this will make them about 3 8 of an inch thick
and then I'll decide later whether I want to use this as the outside or this as the outside
so I'm uh I'm at 400 I'm working on 400 on this knife I just started with 400. and uh
I think I'm gonna finish with 400 and then go out and cut that tree that limb
then come back and glue that the Cody onto them handles and that that'll be it for today and then
tomorrow I'll get this up to uh heat trading grit which I think I'm gonna go to 600 on this 600 is
a really nice satin finish and then uh when I get it out of the Heat Treating and the tempering oven
going back to about 400 to get the Schmutz off of it and then uh doing a nice straight green 600
satin finish and I think it'll be nice and then uh I'll get the handles on I think I can do all that
uh what should I Wednesday I think I can do all that by Friday I think I can have the handles
epoxied on this by Friday all right that's 400 I got 500 there I'm gonna try to get to 600 today
and wouldn't it be something if I could get this heat treated in the tempering
oven today I'm stopping right now it's only it's like 10 in the morning right now
and I'm fixing to go get my chainsaw and gather up some things and get over there to that tree
all right I'm sanded up to 600. and um sitting here debating
whether I want to go put this on the buffer and put a mirror polish on it or not I just might
I've got the bakody epoxy to the uh handle so it's going to be multiple multiple layers
it's going to be let's see one two three four five layers it's going to be a really uh interesting
handle I went up there and I cut one more limb off a Bev's tree that's it right there
and tomorrow I'm gonna cut the last limb off and then cut the trunk up
so that tray will be done and then she got another one in her backyard that's got to come down and uh
so let's see I don't even know what time it is hold on it's not even lunch yet so uh it's
just just a little bit before noon so I think I'm going to I'm going to uh polish that knife
heat trade it and then put it in the tempering oven
and uh tomorrow I'm gonna cut that limb down cut it up clean that tree up and uh
then I'll come out here and get the Schmutz cleaned off of that knife and get the handles
epoxied onto it okay so this is going to be a very productive day see you tomorrow y'all
I'm back
now I'm going to heat treat it I didn't think I could polish but uh it's taking me a little longer
but I can definitely do mirror polished
okay let's go to get this in the uh Forge and then the Heat Treating oven
and tomorrow we'll clean it up that's the tree we're waiting it on
got one more big limb to like to kill you come down yeah I tell you there's nothing like a
Bradford Paradise try and cut down it got hung up on the tree and while I was cutting on it it
flipped over and pinned me to the ground Whittle on it until because I don't know which way it's
going to go and then I walked around over here and the next thing I know it was hitting me in the
head you disappeared yep buried me up underneath that limb anyway I hate bradford pears yeah I'll
be glad when that one's all the the thing is all the limbs have this gigantic bow in it you know
and when they land you just don't know where they're gonna go they are so freaking heavy
they're so full of water absolutely they're the heaviest one I've ever picked up heavier than oak
about third and it they crack and break yep and you can't cut your wedge in the limb because
it'll pinch your saw I've never seen anything like these kind of trees I will be glad to have it down
