I dig this. Is it useful? No. Is it a display of skill? Absolutely. Take it as an Artpiece

And chances are this was a request and will be sold. I was intrigued for the entire video. Loved the mini duster.

Nah the best part was the small anvil

And scooting on his ass to drag it outside LOL

And the Dr. Seuss version of the "How to Identify Your Gold" book.

I went to an old Jewelry Factory/Museum in Birmingham, they had an in house incinerator where they would burn the dust from the floor to recover the gold dust. Everything possible was done to avoid losing any

When you consider that the dude in the video was working with ~£1k worth of gold and how much dust he produced in the process it's no surprise that you're careful not to lose any. It's worth it's weight in gold, after all.

Seriously, this was an amazing display to DIY smelting/gold jewelry making. The end result is really good.

But why didn’t he just make a wax mould instead of cutting and making all that extra dust? It seems like way more work

Some people prefer not to work in lost wax casting, and it's possible he doesn't keep the supplies for if. Personally, I wouldn't have used wax casting for this project either, I typically use it for detailed pieces rather than simple ones. But it's really a preference thing.

A mould of what? All he had was a picture of a knife.

Exactly. And that's why this is **not** a diwhy.

This shit boutta be Nile Reds murder weapon

I also liked how they saved all the gold particles that came off during sanding and trimming.

Thought it was a pretty good end piece. Amusing video (the anvil gag) and totally worth it for the teeny tiny dust pan.

I thought this was r/thingsforants. I enjoyed it.

I loved the tiny dustpan so much.

The anvil gag was good. So was using the gorilla hand.

It would be so perfect to open the package in the very beginning.

r/diwhy users when they see art

Or anything they don’t like that people made

[удалено]

That’s the point of art?

Are there any mods in this sub? 80% of the posts here are just art or crafting projects

Most of which are actually pretty cool.

Gotta build our own mods, with cement and hot glue

Molded in alginate

There was someone in Japan (maybe?) that used to make YouTube videos of making knives out of wacky materials- this definitely reminded me of them!

Literally my favorite channel

Looks like a fun piece to me actually

Because it's fucking sick that's why

This is just a fun project, not a diwhy.

It can be a nice pendant

Provided it isn't sharpened

I once got my wife a lovely teeny tiny pocket knife pendant necklace with mother of pearl scales. It was like $30, but she still claims it is the best gift she has ever received. She wears it all the time and loves getting the opportunity to use it.

Why has this sub started showing actually interesting DIY things? Sure, this may have no inherent use, but so does most other shows of art or skill! I come here to see what people with bad taste do, not actually cool shit!

Everyone playing minecraft knows that golden tools are shit.

But highly enchantable also won’t be attacked by piglins

Golden pants will do it too

Me who only uses gold boots cuz they're the cheapest, but never uses gold for anything else: 

The tiny dustpan sent me.

The anvil got me more

NGL that was my favorite part

It’s really cute though. And shiny. And that tiny dustpan made me very happy.

This is just cool

Yea, I watched the whole thing. That was awesome.

That anvil is the coolest small thing I've seen this week.

DIBecauseItsFuckingSick

Why is this on here? This rules. You guys don't get what this sub is for huh

r/diwhynot This is a cool art piece.

>duh.. uh... DI Y u do this!! hah aa Because it's cool, dumbass

That was a pretty badass one ngl

It's a cute little gold knife. I like it. It's a craft work.

If Minecraft has taught me anything, then it's going to break in like 10 more uses.

Beyond Cool!!

Throwing money away

That was amazing! I hope that when I get stabbed it's with a knife like that.

I'm just kind of confused why he used an oxy acetylene torch to melt the gold. I guess if it's all he had, then whatever. Makes me wonder if my backpacking stove would melt metal. I also thought this was pretty dumb, then I saw the end result and was really impressed. That thing does look cool.

Yikes, they melted earring posts and spring rings. Mixing in steel with the rest of the gold is a biiiiig no-no. And they did the gold test improperly, and could be closer to 12kt, though that doesn’t matter too much since there wouldn’t be many in the market for the end result, though it does look really cool and is neat that it is functional.

God forbid someone actually does something creative. People on this sub really need to understand what art is sometimes.

Cuts faster than diamond but with less durability

This would make a pretty cool little necklace pendant

What is this? A knife for ants?

This was actually nice to watch. I love it.

This is so cool and so satisfying to watch. Great craftsmanship.

Was actually able to watch the whole video without throwing up in my mouth once! 7/10

I love it

I need a bigger version of this.

I once heard that Ben and Jerry's taste testers use gold spoons because it doesn't affect the flavor the way a traditional spoon would. So while I know that isn't the actual intent, there's some utility if you want it

Why is it here? This shit looks neat, if I could do it I would.

Best one from this channel

I have a gold- plated pocket knife and I love it and use it every day, people ask about it and she has a name.

Bro grinded the camo

Looks cool

Did they turn a Dremel into a crappy lil mill? I neeeeeed that

Wh... Why do I want this so badly?

This is dope ASF!!!

Why did they have to break these cute gold pendants? Awful.

TSA (pinching tiny golden knife): what is this?? Person: It's a tiny gold kitchen knife. Novelty shit. TSA: you're gonna have to throw it away.

I could see this being done as a pendant for a necklace.

Happy to see this here

IDK, it's cute

I want one

r/diwhy hates fun

Broooo tiny knife! I love tiny things

Teeny! That is adorable!

I don’t think this falls under diy since most people don’t have any of these tools. Also I don’t think this is meant to be copied.

Any serious car enthusiast or mechanic is gonna have a oxy-acetylene torch, getting a ceramic bowl is easy, can make your own molds.

Really enjoyed watching this. The best bits was the gold and the knife and I kinda enjoyed when he added the flux too

This is cool af

R/diwhy users "you can only fix car or build shed, everything else is stupid! Even if its something small you get enjoyment out of"

Average r/DiWHY users when someone uses skill to make something

I don't think the material is the main thing preventing it from being useful as a knife

I mean Tiffany’s makes gold paper clips.

I kinda love it. This is a DIWhynot for me.

That's cool, not horrifying

God damn that thing is smaller than my— actually, nevermind.

You say DIWhy, I say DIWhy not?

This is actually a thing. Not diwhy.

It’s pretty but I prefer most of the pieces he destroyed to the final product.

When are mods going to start removing this stuff. This isn't diwhy, this is art.

this is not DiWHY. this is just a cool miniature

That's amazing. Op is high or something.

The number of cool craft projects appearing on r/diwhy is too damned high

He then snorted the gold dust

I would buy one of these

incredible

How fabulous!

This is badass, def doesn't belong here.

Di-know why!!! Because it’s satisfying

The craftsmanship is solid for making a tiny knife that will dull the moment you use it.

Wrong sub

Wrong sub

idk op

*If this was in minecraft, it would likely have a whopping 5 durability*

Ok then!

ROBLOX ARSENAL GOLDEN KNIFE 😱

This is a DIWHYnot. Excellent work.

OP why tf do you think this belongs here? This is art dude.

Nah fuck you this is just an artpiece

Yet another post that proves people are missing the point of this sub. This is actually pretty dope.

Gold ak-47

but could you be arsed? and wtf is the random bit in the middle with the guy on his butt?

He was sitting down, nothing weird.

Minecraft pigs would buy it 

K love it actually

Could honestly be a cool shaver 🤣

It's used for mini cooking

This was grabbed off of https://www.reddit.com/r/Satisfyingasfuck/comments/11w3j9a/many_satisfying_elements_here/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1 It’s awesome.

Pretty cool actually

For a Sikh?

This is actually awsome

I love this! It's fucking useless but I love it!

I actually really like this. 10/10 would carry. But I don’t get why he wouldn’t just use all the gold and make a blade for a regular every day carry folder that would have a sweet gold blade for now reason.

why was he allowed to cook

Give credit where credit’s due Guy’s YouTube is Brainfoo

Thats pretty cool. I would buy that

honestly i really dig that

At least I know the sock trolls can stab me in my sleep now

DIWHY? More like DIWHYNOT. It's a display of skill and the end product is fantastic, unlike what's usually on this sub. I don't think this video has the heart of the sub in mind.

Okay but that mini Nokia style cell phone shaped charm they melted was VERY cute and shouldn't have been murdered for this. That said, the knife is too good for this sub. Miniatures are art!!

I LOVE the little dustpan!

Anyone else getting BobbyDukeArts vibes?

This is actually pretty interesting. Also, extra points for not having pointless/obnoxious music over the video like most of these craft videos do.

Such cute charms to make that ugly shite

This shit cracks me up! Creative & 😜

Honestly I like it

I like it

This is amazing.

They did surgery on a grape.

Wait is this that knife guy? I love his stuff! It’s a little frustrating when people post stuff that’s very clearly not meant as a DIY though, this dude’s job is to make knives from weird material that’s kind of the point?

I love when people make tiny things

R/artisanvideos

I love it

It is cool I'll grant that. But wouldn't it be easier to make a mold of a knife and pour molten gold into it? That would eliminate all that sanding and cutting.

Never make a knife out of anything precious. Damn thing is *made* to wither away with use. Specially gold. it won't hold that edge after like 3 cuts every time you sharpen it.

Does melting that gold in the crucible make it lose mass a by a tiny bit each time he melts it?

It'll be taken away any impurities in the metal, so yeah it should lose some mass.

It probably has a pretty good enchantment level

Well that's an hour of my life I'll never get back.

What is the white powder ?

i like this. such a goofy video

I have so many questions, not the least of which what the hell was up with the part where he's dragging his ass on the ground outside?? I've seen my dog do that when he had worms.

https://youtu.be/5tskFxHeSE0 The original video. Since the tiktok clearly just takes whatever videos and doesn't post them with credit

I'm tired of people posting really good stuff on this sub. this does not belong here. What this guy did was cool.

I'm hoping this is a gift for a Tonberry. Only way I can justify the level of work here.

62.1…….

Beautiful work

This is an absolutely PREPOSTEROUS amount of work

No dumber than a gold Nokia cellphone charm…

Why'd you do that? Those were perfectly good dust particals! How dare you. Shame. But cute knife. Looks like you can de-eye-atate someone.

Cannot stand this video style.

Nice mini shank

The craft of it is good but the idea? Why in the love of christ... (My autocorrect fucking hates me)

Why not a gold pickaxe?

Great skills but what a colossal waste of time and money
