Al foil knife

[dirc]

I know youtube is a horrible waste of time...

this is #3 on youtube trending list, somehow

so much work, its a bit amazing this worked

I'm definitely surprised it worked.

It won't work for very long, but at least it worked.

what gets me is how much time was spent on a really numerous & exhaustive stone count

That bit with the porcelain cow statues was odd.

Anybody else think it is fake.

I definitely thought so, after the 'forging' - it seems like the foil was replaced by a slab or bar stock... but the later visible layering made me reconsider

I don't know much, but, I don't think you can forge weld aluminum on a kitchen stove. Like using argon to tig weld aluminum is a hoax or something.

1220 F is the melting point for aluminum... so really should be fairly easy on gas like that. I haven't tried it, but it is a fairly low temp requirement
