Knife repair channel - Southern Knife Hobbyist

[Reverand]

Here is my first full-length knife repair video!
I have about 10 videos started, but am still doing some editing until I am satisfied with them.
This one is terrible, but I am learning more about cameras, angles, and lighting. More to come!

Good video ( especially since this is your first). Keep them coming.
Knife repair is something I would like to eventually do,

Nice video. I looked all over for one several years ago but had to just go blind(except for all the good info I read on here about repairs). It’s nice to have visual aid to help along as a newbie. Keep up the videos!

Just had a look at your video. Nice work!
Keep those videos coming. I have been looking for a video like this for a LONG time!
2 thumbs up!

I will not continually post my videos on here, but I will let you know that I redid the video Shorts and added background music. That means that many of the old links will not longer work.
But if any of you are interested in seeing more, Subscribe to my YouTube channel and you can see them all, anytime you want. Or search for "Southern Knife Mechanic" on YouTube.
Thank you to all who have offered encouragement and advice!

You have add a "www." and take out everything after the YouTube link "?" Make sure there's no spaces between the brackets "]" and YouTube link.

Thank you!
I fought with it for a bit while on break, then decided I would look it over more carefully after I got home!

Keep up the good work.

I just came across this video and it answered a lot of questions I had. Thank you for making this. Would you mind sharing what belt sander you have & where you get your pin stock from? Also, how do I tell steel pins from nickel silver please?
Thank you sir,

Thank you, Carman!
I use a Harbor Freight 1x30" belt sander. They run around $50 dollars or so. I have two of them, just to have a backup. I did upgrade one with a larger, slower motor, but the original setup works pretty well. I recommend good quality belts on a cheap sander, if you are on a budget.
I buy pin stock from Jantz supply. They have a good selection at reasonable prices.
I use a magnet to separate the steel pins, as silver nickel does not stick to a magnet.

Thank you very much sir. I’m definitely on a budget, so that’s great advice. And, I didn’t know that silver nickel was non magnetic.
Thank you for your help and time.
