Nick Rossi does an outstanding job of filming videos at the New England School of Metalwork (NESM) and we have many of his videos of "How to" techniques and interviews of the Master Smith instructors for ABS Classes on the ABS YouTube Channel. Thank you Nick!

Are there any more requests for videos that anyone wants to see on the ABS YouTube Channel such as the use of particular tools, jigs, or techniques?

I would like to see a through tang assembly done. Anything on handles and guards is always appreciated. Forging a small dagger would be good too. I guess basically anything we need to know would be good. A picture is worth a thousand words and a video is worth a million words and pictures.

Thanks to everyone that is making the videos. They are greatly appreciated.

I would like to see some on Karl's takedowns. How did you drill those tiny holes before the milling machine.

Also I would like to point out that some makers like Karl and Kyle have posted some videos of their own that I found very helpful.

Try to keep some of them simple and show the poor boy way of getting there too. Not all of us have the money to invest in the fancy equipment yet. I am slowly improving my equipment but until then...there have been some really great knives from the past that were made using no electricity. I'm not saying I want to see the Tim Lively way just how to use simpler (cheaper) tools. I do have a drill press and a couple of different belt grinders. How about how to set up a drill press so that it will drill a square hole. I mean straight up and down not a hole that is square shaped. And a video on drilling a crooked hole with a spade bit would be good too. Still not sure I understood how they did that.

A video on how to use a disc grinder would be helpful. I read about how helpful they are, but I have never seen one in use.

Thanks!

Bob
