What can be done from an old tire from a chainsaw? Yes, anything. For example, a machete knife, which can be useful in hiking trips.
The knife can be made large, using the entire length of the tire, and small - for household and household needs.
First of all, the author fixes the tire with a clamp to the table, and cuts the shank with the help of a grinder.
After that, with a marker, you need to draw the contours of the future knife and cut the workpiece using angle grinders.
The main stages of work
At the next stage, the master cuts the "spikes" with the help of a grinder in the upper part of the blade of the knife. Then the workpiece will need to be processed on a grinding machine.
After that, you can proceed to the formation of descents on the workpiece and sharpening the knife blade.
Further, from a piece of a wooden bar, the author cuts a handle for a knife (this is convenient to do on a band saw), and then marks the places for drilling holes.
We drill holes in the handle and make a slot for the shank of the knife. We insert the knife and fix the handle with two rivets.
At the last stage, it remains only to handle the handle on the grinding machine, giving it the necessary shape, and cover it with varnish or mineral-based impregnation.
Details on how to make a machete knife from a tire from a chainsaw with your own hands can be seen in the video.
