The fourth Bonechopper video...is POSTED!!!
I don't think very many people knows how much work and time goes into making a custom clever or even a knife. I know I didn't.
You do very good work and I'm sure @Hoji appreciates the time and effort you put into custom making his cleaver. AKA the bonechopper.
I appreciate it, Pops. To be honest, the Bonechopper took a LOT more work than the other blades I've made. It fought me. Hard. Even to the point of defying the laws of physics a time or two.
Betcha glad to be posting something other than the Bonechopper, lol.Hey @glenbo - the first step toward your knife has been taken. It's still attached to the bar I'm forging it out of, and it's pretty rough at the moment, but...it has begun.
