Hollow Grinding Video, Making a 4" Hunter...
My goal with this video series was to make watching them as close to a shop visit as possible. This video covers two DVDs and runs for seven hours! Of course, actually making the knife took much longer than that and the video is carefully edited so that you don't have to wade through much repetition but nothing important is left out. Hollow grinding is the major portion of this video but several other important subjects are also covered:
For the raw beginner there is a small section on hand tools, drills, vices,etc I also quickly step through the building of a simple full tang kit knife Then, we make a Kydex sheath for the kit knife Hollow grinding is covered in great detail A guard is milled for the blade. This is a through tang knife so we look at drilling a hole through a 5" block Instruction is given for the use of JB Weld and for AcraGlas We drill and tap the pommel The handle is shaped using the contact wheel, the platen, and the small wheel We learn how to protect the spine of the blade while shaping the guard The safe use of the buffer is covered, as are compounds and buffing wheels After the knife is finished there is a detailed tutorial on making a welted leather sheath for it A method for creating the initial edge on a new blade is demonstrated The knife is sharpened and the logo is etched The Hollow Grinding DVD is $15. I know, a ridiculously low price for something that took nearly two years to make but I'm not doing this for the money. If you would like a copy Paypal $15 to knives@rayrogers.com If you don't have a Paypal account just send an email to that same address and we'll go from there ...

I've watched the entire thing, and it's very good. It was done with lots of detail, the next best thing to being there in person......

If it was an older laptop it might not like the dual layer disk. But, if it turns out to be a dud let me know and I'll send a replacement right away ...

Well, I just finished watching the full run of this double disk video. Ray has done it again. Put together a video with a huge amount of information in it.
Much more than simply a video on "Hollow grinding", Tools, drills and drill charts, Hidden tangs, Leather sheaths and much more is covered. And all of it done in a way that even a newbie like myself can clearly understand. I wish I had had these video's way back when I made my first attempts at knife making. Would have saved me a great deal of bother. (As I know it will in the future) Thanks Ray, a job well done. Marty Last edited by Salthart; 04-09-2017 at 10:36 PM. |

I just bought myself a 10" wheel and don't know what the hell I am doing on it so his post couldn't have come at a better time.
