Blacksmithing : FORGED CUTLERY
A film about how we forge stainless steel cutlery - It is also about why and who for. The set we are making here is a bespoke design for a Michelin stared restaurant in London. This will be exclusive to that chef and not repeated for anyone else. Tableware is a real passion for us and something we have been exploring over the past few years - I hope you enjoy watching the processes and feel free to ask me any questions.

Blacksmithing : Making Nails - The Forge
I just watched Alex steele's video where he made 500 nails in just over 12 hours now he did several thing differently to you his nail were smaller about an inch and he used a tool to hold the nail while shaping the head. He showed a film of an old blacksmith making nails they used under 30 or 40 strikes to shape it, the used a tool where after shaping the nail they dropped it into this tool and formed the head and they did it in one heat
That's correct and certainly the most traditional way to forge nails . I haven't watched the film but he probably used a 'nail header' . I have been forging nails in a less traditional way using a leg vice as it was always much easier to teach beginners that way. On average I can make 25-30 an hour of the 3" nails. Thanks for watching and new film coming soon
Neat video and process. Music on the video was a bit loud compared to the vocals.
Thank you for the feed back ... I'll take a look and work on it . Cheers
Fantastic work Alex & Team. Inspiring ❤️🔥
thanks man ... next film coming up soon. I Think you will like it
what a gorgeous work!!!
Que bruto son los hijos de vulcano.
What is the whait pen? I'm ruky blacksmith😅
Thanks for a great video depicting some great craftsmanship and care given to an otherwise overlooked tool.
👍✌️⚒️
👍✌️⚒️
What sort of variation do you get piece to piece?
we try to get as little as possible but of course each piece is slightly different . All part of the beauty I think
@@alexpoleblacksmith yeah, that slight variation is a nice aspect of hand made things. Also when the same person tries the same idea repeatedly and you see the evolution in their execution of the idea
So what is a two tine fork then, a bident?
Yeah.
Beautiful pans. The handle shape is so important to the daily enjoyment of using a pan. But so often done poorly.
Amazing work as always 👍👍

So very glad to see you back, sir!! I love the work you put into your videos. Your craftsmanship is exquisite! I would love to see and learn from you working in person. One can dream.
Thanks for watching … 👍
J'aime vraiment votre travail et le fait que vous préserviez les techniques traditionnelles tout comme moi. ❤
Looks great! I've never had much luck with stainless/keeping it from rusting.
Have you tried Passivation in phosphoric or critic acid? Really necessary for this craft shown here.
@@stevefarley7014 I bought a citric acid spray to test. Same issue. I must be doing something wrong.
hi. We don't seem to get any issues as long as the forged piece is cleaned properly and isn't left in contact with mild/carbon steel. Very piece is put through the vibe and then dried and oiled. Works for us ok - I'm using 304 . Happy to give any tips if you want as it's a great material to use
Thank you for sharing! Love your guys' work!
Very nice, job well done. They probably make the food taste great.
Thank you
Amazing! Glad to see more films coming out on the RUclips.
thanks ... and new ones coming soon
I love a well made coffee and a well made YT video for inspiration before heading to my shop. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
pretty chunky nail.
big is good ...
Watching this while having my hand under cold water. I'm still an absolute rookie 🤕 Thank you for this tutorial!
ouch ... hope you are ok ? Keep on at it
@@alexpoleblacksmith thanks. Yeah I'm fine now and getting better each day! 👍
Beautiful work and beautiful videos. I follow you guys on Instagram and abonated the youtube channel quite some time back. I'm happy to see new videos now. Greetings from Switzerland.
thanks and hope you enjoy our next film ... coming very soon
Big job to move.
Moving must have been difficult.
It sure was ... but sorted now and much better space. Thanks
Dude it’s been two years where have you been??!?!? Glad to see you back.
THANKS ... yes we are back ! Will be releasing at least one film a month now and hopefully can have the time to keep it going. next one is a cracker ...coming soon
Как получить такую книгу?
Beautiful video and awesome message. Thanks for sharing it with the world.
Thank you for watching and your kind words
Beautiful video! It gives this wonderful feeling of mindfulness and awe with the world around us. Like a deep breath of fresh, cool air at dawn.
What a wonderful mouth watering and thought provoking video - I would have loved to have been one of the participants enjoying that magnificent feast. I really enjoyed the dialogue and I feel that as modern day blacksmiths we all help to maintain a craft that could have easily disappeared into the ether. Thank you
it certainly was a great feast. Thanks for watching
Пердець, це те що бажає душа кожного чоловіка! Десь трішечки брутально аутентично грубо звичайно знайоме та цікаве! Гарно подане!
So so so cool. I want one. I want to make one.
do it ...
Here because of Adam Smith, really a humble and creative art. Well done Alex, quite the blacksmith.
Like the Vice technique, first I've seen. Just made first nails today, my tool design needs work but first attempt with tools i had already. Making small square hole is difficult
Invest in some fingernail clippers, i think they cost $1
Hey mate are you using carbon steel?
yes ... but not for nails though
@@alexpoleblacksmith What are you using for the nails?
and to have the muscles of a blacksmith? how to get?
I’ve been thinking about making nails like this for quite some time now. Looks cool as hell!
thanks ... fairly easy. Just takes practice
Every time I watch this video it makes me want to forge. Very inspiring!
Thanks
Beautiful job. Good video. I would call that a hatchet.
yes ... probably more correct
Your videos are unique. I love the history lessons that come with them. I hope you start making them again!
Thanks. About to start the channel up again after a break ... lots more coming soon
do you ever use a nail header?? I never seem to get them just the right size..
thanks a lot, there is nowhere near where I live to learn blacksmithing and your videos are a blessing to learn by myself
Where are you located?
In Dorset ,
Beautiful craftmanship, a worthy way to make a living
Got the book.... absolutely love it.... very good read. Recommend 👍
Hard to take seriously when the smith has an anvil that bounces around like that.
My question is what function of the nail? Because we can purchase the nail in many materials store
What would you price them at for sale at market?
