This isn't your traditional hardware setup. As in I'm not here to showcase my gaming/streaming rig, peripherals, or any of that stuff. I would rather tell you a little about my tools. (2) 2x72 DIY grinders Belt and disc grinder: 4"x36" with a variety of belt grits Reciprocating saw: DeWalt 12 amp Drill press: WEN 4208 5 inch 8-speed Bench grinder: Ironton 6 inch WW Grainger band saw Vintage Columbia bench vise Delta Pro scroll saw If you see something else that you're not sure what it is, just ask!

Welcome to the channel! Firstly, I'm a Texan through and through. I am also a budding knifemaker who has a very. . . ermmm. . . minimalistic setup. Hang around and see what kind of creations and injuries we can all come up with. Bear in mind, I'm learning here, and am by no means an expert.

I try to stream whenever I can find a couple hours here or there. I am by no means a full time streamer, but I am a full time husband and father. Knifemaking is my hobby and maybe my mistress.

Shank me with a sub why don't ya! All support is very appreciated.

Tips are accepted through this link: https://streamelements.com/hcks_texas/tip Like I said, knifemaking is a hobby for me and doesn't generate a lot of income.... mostly drains my funds actually... Help me out by tipping! All funds go directly back into the stream through tools and supplies to feed my addiction
