https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEjEAxdJLOg4k854j-oESfQWhile handling this blade I did my best to stick to the straight razor theme Matt and Ilya had in mind.
Since the damascus is already so rich in details and also because of the integral bolster I decided not to make a segmented handle construction like I usually do for my knives.
Instead I focused my effort on the tang, filing a pattern and laminating the olive wood with a black and a solid brass liner to match the pins colors and materials.
Overall I'm very pleased with how sleek the handle came out and I think it goes well with the blade!
Index of operation and materials:
1:10 Marking layout lines for the pin holes
1:25 Center punching pin holes
1:34 Drilling 4mm pin holes
2:09 Tang was hard near the bolster, had to soften it with heat protecting the bolster with a wet rag
2:32 Temper colors should show where the steel is now soft
2:39 One spot was still hard had to drill with a sharpened stone bit
2:49 Layout color for the filework marks
2:60 To make the filework I used a wide range of files
3:47 But also a die grinder to help smooth some curves
4:30 And also a dremel with a cut off disc to make finer detalis
Watch how I made another filework design without using files here:

This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
About YouTube 📺

Content and Users 🎵
Users can upload, view, rate, share, and comment on videos, with content spanning video clips, music videos, live streams, and more.
