Welcome back to my channel!
A few weeks back, I finally got myself an old car spring from a scrapyard. They are of course made of spring steel (you don't say!), which is quite a nice hardenable steel. I've been working on a few projects using this material but the first one is this touchmark stamp, something I wanted to make for awhile now.
Now I can finally stamp in my logo, instead of acid etching it. This process fits very well to the brute de forge finish on a blade I think.

Have a nice day and keep filing!


About me: My name is Tim and I'm a 20 year old student. I got into knifemaking about two years ago, by watching videos similar to this one. Over the years, I gained some knowledge and last year I built this belt grinder to finally make my own knives. I do sell custom orders, mostly of kitchen knives, if you're interested, follow me on Instagram. My goal is to make inspirational and educating, as well as entertaining videos. I gained almost all my knowledge by watching YouTube ideos, so now I want to give something back. If you’ve got a question, feel free to write me a comment or start a conversation with me via my Instagram @spira_knives

Future plans: I want to make educational as well as inspirational and entertaining videos. The topics will be setting up my workshop and mostly making knives.
A few ideas that I will post soon:
- ̶a̶̶ ̶̶f̶̶u̶̶n̶̶k̶̶y̶̶ ̶̶b̶̶a̶̶b̶̶y̶̶ ̶̶c̶̶l̶̶e̶̶a̶̶v̶̶e̶̶r̶ (lost all files before I rendered the video)
- forging a drawknife for woodworking
- forging a herb chopper
- building a gas forge (DONE!:D)
- how I etch my logo
-forging a touchmark stamp (DONE)

All my builds and machines are low cost but good quality. I’m a beginner as well as a student on University, so I want to get the best tools for the least amount of money. If you are starting your new hobby, consider watching me setting up my little workshop.
