Cool Old Heatreating Basics Video

Thanks for posting this. I learned something. I'm new to this whole knifemaking thing and I'm trying to learn as much as I can.
 
WOW! I had overlooked this thread since there are so many of offsite links that can just eat up your time checking out, but this video is EXCELLENT! Excellent, heck it approaches perfection! Isn’t it ironic that you have to go back to what appears to be a 1940’s video to get good error free information? I had given up on current information so often linked to these days due to the fact that for every grain of good information you need to sort through a ton of chaff, littered with errors and misinformation. Not one issue here! Everything is dead on and it explains it all!

I am going to keep this one myself, and Jason, I urge you to post this gem on every forum you visit, if all forumites would watch this, half of all the repeating questions and misconceptions could be eliminated.

Thank you for posting this! :thumbup::thumbup:
 
Excellent video.....really should be a sticky.
 
The data is awesome, but what steel were they using to get those numbers? Maybe I missed that part.

That's quite an endorsement!

The video was very concise and did clear a couple of things up for me.:thumbup:
 
Definantly cleared alot up for me too! As soon as I saw how good and consicely it gives the information I had to post this! Glad you guys all like it! I'm a little surprised at Mr Cashens endorsement, as I was afraid it oversimplified some things. But for beginner basics I thought it was SPOT on. Feel free to post it wherever as I dont really get around to many other forums much.

That's cool as a polar bear's backside. I linked to it on another forum as well. Thanks for finding and sharing that!

I spent a lot of time trying to figure out why and how the things knifemakers did worked. I learned a lot along the way. One thing I learned is that when you start real metallurgy classes after having read knifemaker metallurgy for a couple of years, you kinda start with a limp. Another thing I learned is that some things knife makers do have no explanation or reason for doing them. An excellent video, and a demonstration that sometimes the old timers really did do it better.
 
Ah yes, good ole military training films.

If you think that one was good wait till they get to the being careful when fraternizing with the girls off base and the use of Penicillin for treatment afterwords! :eek: :foot: :rolleyes:
I slept thru a few of those, What? ? After runnnig five miles in full pack and you hit that cool room with the lights out it was natural, but a word of caution don't let the DI catch you sleeping cause its like he says "its hard to sleep while doing pushups"!!

Seriously the old films usually laid it out in terms anybody could understand! I like this one however the steps seem out of order. Shouldn’t it be annealing, hardening and tempering? :D
 
Great Video. I remember when Government's used to produce and provide valuable information like this, instead of the bullshit they stuff down the throats of the sheep now.:grumpy: Even at 31 I long for the day's of long ago.:D
