I'll be very surprised if
What is the complexity of the issue? such a problem to bend the blade?
The question is not correct.

You take an arch support from shoes or boots. You heat it on a burner, you bend it as it should. You warm again until dark cherries and into the water. You dip it in oil and again on the burner, when the oil burns, you cool it in the air. Sharpen and the knife is ready. Somewhere like that.

50 bucks for a crooked knife!!!?
I'm wondering if I heat the knife on the stove burner until it's red enough to bend it? I have a piece of a quick saw - can it be bent at all?
I have not seen such knives for sale in our country. I saw sets of chisels with mushroom-shaped handles, but there are no such knives. Can they be in art merchandise?

I've been cutting spoons for a long time. And aerobatics is considered when the spoon is made without the use of sandpaper. "Licked" cutting tool. And of course, we are not talking about linden or alder. Khokhloma is a souvenir and nothing more. Real spoons are cut from pear, cherry, walnut. (Then they are protected only with oil)
And therefore, the material of the arch support type is clearly not enough. My entire set consists of forged - spring steel. And welded - the cut bearing cage is welded onto a bar with a diameter of 10mm. When sharpening, the descent is removed from the inside and always from the butt to zero.
I forgot to say that for convenience I put on a larger handle - two hundred or three hundred millimeters. It's more convenient to work.

I took a piece of non-hardened powder iron, bent it as I needed and took it to the thermist for hardening. then stripped off the ribbon and that's it.
ladikanton 16-09-2011 13:26
I have a piece of a quick saw - can it be bent at all?
At home - no. The quick cutter is designed to work with high temperatures which will not affect its hardness.
The option with bearings, it seems to me, is optimal. A familiar wood carver used to make cutters from engravers.

I answer the Metrologist, as well as the whole honest company, about oil protection.
There are two options. If the spoon was cut for yourself, friends, relatives - then - just sunflower oil. When sauteing onions, vegetables, use a new spoon five, seven times ... For fishing, it’s good if garlic was also present in the oil, but this is not for everybody. Moisten the stalk with oil several times and let it soak into the structure of the tree.
If the spoon is for sale, we go the longer way, but no less and no more correct. We lay out the spoons, and pour three-quarters of pharmaceutical linseed oil into them. Leave for a day. Then we smear everything that is left on the back of the scoop and the handle. The next day you need to wipe with a canvas. Put on a shelf and forget about a month. It may not happen once in a while. Then a small piece of soft wood is taken. You can linden or alder. And diligently rub the spoon with this piece, getting a marketable appearance. It is precisely the wooden sheen that appears.

The law of paired cases - it is worth thinking about something or doing something, it will certainly happen to another person in the near future or pop up somewhere in the form of a discussion. Cool!
Just a couple of weeks ago, I started cutting (and almost finished, interrupted due to piled up cases) kuksu! I wrote off in PM with Igor77, consulted, looked for a spoon cutter or cranberries ...
In short, the most low price on Morovian spoon cutters in Moscow - at Paradox. They are, as far as I remember, official dealer Seas in Russia. If there is such an interest, then maybe we can ask Uncle Yura to fit a batch to the next exhibition? .. The cutting properties of Mora personally only please me and I would gladly purchase their spoon cutter.
And here is my unfinished kuksa and what I cut it with:
This tool was in an old (beginning of the second half of the last century, it seems) set, with which my mother used to cut something in her youth. It has similar nozzles and other profiles - square, triangular, etc. His handle is FUCK!!! I knocked my hand down in the trash in two hours. But I really wanted to and I did not stop!

I tried to work like this, to be honest, I was not too impressed. In this regard, I liked the homemade quick cutter much more, shaped like a small coffee spoon. All edges are sharpened, except for a narrow neck. Here it is a pleasure to rake them. And it is not difficult to make from a rectangular bar (blank turning tool for metal). I'll try to post pictures of it in the next few days.

I made a knife from a ring spanner - I didn’t like it, it’s more convenient with cranberries.
Maybe things are different with spoons, but for kuksa, cranberries are better, at least for me.
YoNas_Kaki 19-09-2011 16:23
Svir, I saw in "You-Pipe" how you cut kuksu with cranberries:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d78rcuH8vb0
Very useful video! It just makes me sick to even just look and think about how this ... pardon my French ... long and bent huyabra will jump off and kaaaaaak! .. Yes, all this is also on my knees ... The thing that is in my pictures, like a spoon cutter and a knife from a key, there is simply nowhere to go - you work with them in a small arc, in fact, only with a brush. I really liked my picker. Only now it is very small, that's why I want a bigger spoon cutter.
By the way, do you cut from dry or raw suvel on the roller? At first I started from dry, but it is like a curb in terms of hardness !!! Then it blew up and I poured water into the already dug hole. When wet, it cuts like cheese...

Svir 19-09-2011 17:24
It is dangerous to cut only at the very beginning, as soon as a small hole is formed, it is no longer so scary. you cut from the edge inward and can only jump off to the bottom of the kuksa. In any case, of course, you need to be careful, however, as with any cutting tool.
In the video, I cut the "dried" burl)))) i.e. for a knife handle it is damp, I would not put it like that, but not quite raw either - about 6 months of natural drying (not boiled). I also cut it from dry suveli - it’s more difficult, of course, by an order of magnitude.

Clear. My suvelka has lain on the closet for three (or more? ..) years - PObble!!! It took me about 1.5 hours to gnaw out the first 50 ml. And then I finished to wet it and the remaining 200 ml I gnawed out somewhere else in 2 hours. So the water rocks! Ischo would have a more powerful knife ...
Making wooden spoons is a simple and exciting process that allows you to touch the centuries-old traditions of arts and crafts. To create such products, you will need a minimum of tools and materials. Making spoons with your own hands is great opportunity hone basic carving skills and get a better feel for how wood and carving tools behave. You can experiment with the shape and size of the spoon, as well as the design of its handle, creating a unique utensil that is not only decorative, but also functional.
In our material, we will tell you in detail how to make a spoon with your own hands, introduce you to the basic carving techniques and answer current questions regarding manufacturing. wooden utensils.
What are wooden spoons made of?
What wood is best for carving wooden utensils? This important question excites all novice carvers. For cutting spoons best fit blanks from hard, but not prickly hardwood - aspen, ash, maple, birch, elm, walnut, cherry or maple.
Beginner carvers it is better to use lime. This wood is softer and lighter, has a uniform density and is well planed in all directions. For gaining experience and practicing basic carving skills, this is the most suitable material. Among other things, linden products are not prone to warping and do not emit tannins.
Coniferous trees unsuitable for the manufacture of spoons because of its high resin content and characteristic odor. Also avoid exotic tropical woods such as teak, which can be toxic.
As a blank, you can use planks or split the whole deck-ridge into small pieces. The first option is more practical, the second is more traditional. The orientation of the wood fibers in the blank determines the symmetry of the pattern of the bowl of the spoon, as shown in the photo.
A set of basic tools
To make a wooden spoon with your own hands you will need minimum set simple tool:
- Knife. For wood carving, it is better to use the Bogorodsk knife. Its two-sided sharpening makes it equally convenient to work both “on your own” and “on yourself”, and a narrow nose makes it possible to cut wood along internal lines.
- Spoon cutter (staple). This is a chisel with a sharp bend, designed for scraping wood in recesses and processing the inner walls when carving dishes. An alternative to a spoon cutter can be a wide cranberry or an ordinary semicircular chisel.
- straight chisel- used for even cutting of solid wood from the workpiece.
- Clamp- necessary for convenient fixation of a piece of wood.
- File for roughing and sandpaper different grits (320, 180 and 120 grit) for a flawless finish.
- Stichel- a thin steel cutter, for creating decorative carvings on the handle.
How to carve a wooden spoon: step by step guide
- Using the template, transfer the drawing of the top and side views to the wooden blank. Please note that the orientation of the wood fibers is longitudinal, in this case the spoon will have maximum strength.
- Having fixed the workpiece with a clamp, proceed to the rough formation of the bowl. For these purposes, a spoon cutter is used, but you can limit yourself to the usual semicircular chisel or wide cranberries. Wood is sampled in the direction of the fibers. When deepening the bowl, do not forget that you need to leave a small thickness allowance for fine trimming and grinding.
Hollow out the bowl on the workpiece rectangular shape much more convenient, since the piece of wood is rigidly fixed and maintains a stable position.
- When the recess is formed, you can start cutting off the excess array in the horizontal and vertical plane, following the top and side contours. To do this, it is most convenient to use a jigsaw or band saw, but if you wish, you can perform all the manipulations with a straight chisel or a hacksaw.
- Using a Bogorodsk knife, we cut off the convex part of the spoon. With a wide chisel, we give the bowl a perfectly even rounded shape. With the help of a knife and a chisel, we work out the shape of the handle.
- Using a spoon cutter, finish trimming the bowl and carefully align its edges, as shown in the picture.
- Grinding is carried out in two or three passes, each time reducing the grain size of the abrasive.
Advice!
When in contact with water, even a perfectly sanded surface can begin to pile. Raised pile does not spoil appearance spoons, but unpleasantly felt in the mouth. Therefore, if you plan to use your own hand-made dishes for their intended purpose, you can solve this problem in the old proven way. After grinding, the spoon is wetted and thoroughly dried, passing again with a fine-grained abrasive. This procedure is repeated two or three times.
Our version of making a spoon is more of an adapted technique. It is designed to be used modern instrument, which, although it simplifies the workflow, but at the same time moves away from centuries old traditions carving art.
The secrets of the original Russian carving of a wooden spoon - see the video below:
How to cover a wooden spoon for food?
The final touch of creating a wooden spoon is its processing with a finishing compound. And here, as a rule, many questions arise. If you cut out a decorative spoon, then everything is simple: it can be painted with paint, applied with any varnish or waxed. With products that are planned to be used for their intended purpose, everything is more complicated. When choosing a composition for impregnation, it is important that it be practical and safe.
In the Russian tradition, they used and continue to use for processing wooden spoons. This impregnation is environmentally friendly, has antibacterial properties, emphasizes the texture of wood, and is easy to apply. But it will have to be updated periodically. At the same time, using raw linseed oil over time, it can begin to impart an unpleasant rancid odor to the food.
More practical solution is the use of special mineral oils for finishing wooden utensils. This impregnation gives the surface water repellency, while it does not form a film - the pores remain open and the wood continues to breathe. Mineral oils do not affect the taste of food and are more persistent.
About practicality and food safety finishing compositions we spoke in detail in our .
Everyone has their own fashion and hobbies, and therefore it is sometimes very nice to find like-minded people, evaluate their stamp collection or skill in a certain game. Here are collected various videos that are dedicated to a particular hobby. Whether you love chess, tennis, or collecting wild, unbridled animals under your roof, here you will be able to find nice video- content to your liking.
Now it is very popular both on the net and in reality one hobby available for the most part only to the female sex - Make-up on camera. It will seem to ordinary viewers that in these videos the girls simply put on makeup and inflate an elephant out of a fly. But in fact, these beauties showcase their artistic skills, which have developed over the years. In such videos you can find tips, life hacks, and highlight many useful moments that you missed in your life. Curvy models and their stylists will tell you which eye shadows to choose and which dresses to match your hairstyle. For many women, this has become a kind of hobby, to which they devote almost their entire lives.
In addition to make-up, many girls simply love shopping, and therefore they often upload their trips to the local shopping center, where they buy clothes and begin to examine and measure them. Such girls often collect a whole collection of various outfits at home, and some could even open their own store and sell clothes for several years - they have so many purchased outfits. And all their vast collection gets into the camera lens. To be honest, it’s not clear to me why many girls watch this, but such content has customers and it’s a little strange.
However, not only girls love fashion and style and have distinguished themselves with their hobbies, men also have many different hobbies that can amaze you to the core. Some people collect napkins from stores, some people like to play sports games (which is crazy in itself), but there are also those who spend all day molesting women and collecting their kisses. At the same time, they prefer to record their adventures on a video camera, and then put the videos on public display and make themselves great machos.
In any case, there are so many different hobbies, activities, activities in our world, and all of them can captivate a person with a certain mindset for a while, or maybe even for a lifetime. There are so many of them that there is simply no point in listing them further. On this page you can find hundreds of various videos, and they can be about anything. After all, how many people - so many hobbies. Each person can invent for himself a certain “killer” of time. Sometimes you may even be surprised at what the human brain is capable of when it is bored, but do not be surprised if your own hobbies are strange to someone.
Look at people doing what they love, laugh at the stupidity of what is happening, or emphasize for yourself certain things that you can find applications in your life. Here, for the most part, entertainment and informational and stylish video content is collected.
I will slowly fill this section with my tool that I use for woodcarving.
Mainly homemade tool. There is of course and purchased, but not enough. Of course, I would like to buy cutters for carving and chisels PFEIL made in Switzerland, but not always our desires coincide with our capabilities.
Chisel tip for Foredom drill.
Yes, and the DeWalt 788 jigsaw machine, which I talked about on the previous pages, still occupies me no less than carving, but now, with the onset of cold weather, I decided that I would not cut it until spring, otherwise everything in the room would be clogged with dust and you would be tormented to get out. So while I cut some spoons and what else comes to mind. Moreover, they sent a tip for Foredom drills.
relatives tipped foredom I tried to use it, I didn't like it. Well, firstly, the motor itself needs up to 5 thousand revolutions, and I have 18 and even with a pedal, but it’s not convenient. And the main thing that I didn’t like is that you have to practically poke into a tree in order for it to start working, and it’s really expensive.
And then they helped me buy this tip, it cost almost three times cheaper than my own, and most importantly, it starts working even from a light touch on the wood.
We look at the photo.
Of course, my hands immediately itched and from the birch log that my neighbor brought me from the dacha (he heats the stove with them), in about ten minutes I hollowed out just such a blank for a spoon. Of course, first sawing it on a jigsaw machine. He will still bring me birch for handles of cutters and knives, and maybe he even says alder.
As you can see, with this nozzle, 5 blades are given, of course, not enough, but at first I think that's enough. Yes, and it will not be difficult to make the necessary ones, all that is needed for this is steel with a thickness of 2.5 mm.
Yes, of course, you can choose with your hands, but after all, the 21st century is in the yard and just in a few minutes you can hollow out the food in a spoon from this birch Foredom nozzle it is very very nice
Well, I'll show you what came out of this wooden blank for a spoon.
To complete the picture, I will give another video of how a joyful American demonstrates this woodpecker nozzle for a foredom.
For linden or alder, of course, I would hardly use such a tip, with my hands somehow more convenient. But for hard rocks very, very recommend.
By the way, this tip works well, not to say that it is quiet, but not quite loud either, the neighbors should not come running.
I liked cutting wooden spoons, so I decided to continue, but at the same time making the cutting job a little easier for myself by making a spoon cutter. It seemed to me that one should not deviate from traditional solutions and quickly made myself two spoon cutters from y8. Well, from what was at hand.
Here's what happened.
Classic cutter with sharpening on both sides. The handle is quite powerful at first glance
Second spoon cutter made like this. I made two specially because I didn’t know which one was best, more convenient, to use. 
I sharpened both, although I suffered with this sharpening for a long time, it is very inconvenient to sharpen such tricky forms. But how did he adapt and what was the result? As a result, it turned out that cutting with these classical formals is terribly inconvenient. The hand gets tired very quickly because the main effort falls on the brush, which must both cut and turn. In general, he spat on these spoon cutters and reluctantly went to the store for cranberries.
I bought it from Oleg in the Stameskino store.
If anyone is interested, I will put a link specifically to the cranberries that were purchased. Unfortunately, it is not possible to put a specific offer on this cranberry, but you can familiarize yourself with different profiles produced by the Swiss company Pfeil. The choice is very, very diverse and, of course, your eyes may run wide at first. But if you understand why you need a tool and you don’t feel sorry for big enough money. That is no doubt any cutter, chisel, knife Pfeil probably worth the money.
I also bought a Pfeil joint "to try" there, or rather not the joint itself, but a blank for it. I quickly made a handle and this is what happened.
Of course, I didn’t leave it without a sample for a long time, shaved the spoon with this knife. Sharpening holds very well. So I recommend.
But of course it was not without jambs. So the cranberry is not sharpened correctly, as I understand it, it was polished and filled up cutting edge, moreover, they also filled up the very plane of sharpening. But hands to help us and a little patience. Worse what inner surface The cranberry chisels were poorly processed, and it was not very convenient to crawl there, but a drill with an elastic band helped. In general, this pfeil metal is sharpened quite hard. But it's worth it, because it keeps sharpening for a very long time. It cuts softly, which you can’t say about the incisors from the quick cutter, which I have the majority.
The jamb knife is also not without sin, they just tore off the slopes on the sharpener and that was it. But the trouble is, the descents are made at different angles. I had to recast.
In general, I was satisfied with the purchase, firstly, I met Oleg, and secondly, I acquired a really good instrument.
So I bought myself a Pfeil cranberry, although there was not the size I needed, but it was close enough to what I needed.
For those interested in the file archive section, I posted a book (with pictures) about carving wooden spoons. book on English language, but the pictures and drawings are clear.
Bought files for jigsaw machine Dewalt DW788
Considering the excellent cost of these files and also the excellent cutting ability, I don’t see any competitors from them. Prokson's files were not even lying around, and if you compare the price / quality, then Prokson's files are in a landfill.
For those interested, here is the store address www.scrollsawbladespatterns.com/ultra_reverse.htm
To be continued.... As I gather myself.
