The flat spot where you drill is called the BOSS by blacksmiths!! Letting them cool to room temperature is called normalizing. You are a talented young fellow but please join your local blacksmith association and take some classes and/or watch some demos. Not meant to be mean but as an eighty old smith I hope you continue to seek knowledge.

Hi my friend I want to ask you about steel temper! Better by water or oil?!

Do you just use scrap metal?

Nice vid!... As a personal touch, I would finish off the face of the touchmark (and for really sharp lines the edges as well) wit a really fine wet sandpaper on a flat guide...👍🏻

Hey! I am planning on making blacksmithing a hobby of mine. Would tongs be a necessary tool to start with, or should I start without then move to using them later on.

Does anyone happen to know if cooking these inside is perfectly safe?

Wow that’s a sweet set up. I’ll be making my own smithing area soon. Thanks!

That bonus segment was perfect!

Im gonna get into it you got my sub and ill let y'all know how it goes

I'm turning 17 in a couple weeks and I was thinking blacksmithing would be something that takes years to get into, your video helped clear my head about a few things and you've really motivated me. Thank you

Man you should be proud of yourself. I wish you well.

Cheers mate, just getting into blacksmithing and needing tongs! absolute lifesaver. Just made my first vid :)

I'm 13 and just started forging my first blade it's a short sword so this video was pretty helpful to me thanks

thank you great video!

Absolutely love this bro and I'm going to give it a try myself!

I have tons of rust nails. I need to make everything except fire bricks so I can reuse everything

I have a cattle ranch and tons of oak. I am trying to learn everything from hinges to angles of all sizes. I have a super heavy oak gate, and I need strengthen it. I want to be able to be total self-sufficient. Think like we are bake in 1880

Hey man, I see you stopped uploading vids 9 months ago, as a young blacksmith with very basic tools I love your channel and i would love to see more of your videos. Stay at it I'm sure you'll succeed on YT.

I have one of these, but it won't use conditioning belts. Do you know how it could be modified to fit condition belts?

Awesome vid!

Bla,bla,bla🗣️🤢🤯

7:01 those have got to be some toasty balls

Now I know how to do a quick pair of tongs . . . don't have any yet . . . but I do have vice grips (lol) Thanks, Todd

I honestly think forging should be something people should at least experience once. I might try it myself because I definitely would like to learn and experience it.

What is the diameter of the rebar? 12mm fine???

I just now watched 2 or 3 of these videos back to back unintentionally...but in each video the person says they are going to show you how to make the stuff then proceeds to say that if you want to learn how to do black smithing you might need a contact a local class or some bullshit ..man this is federal advertising for university resident student recruits. 👽🤔 #FedConspiracy

Fire, hard surface, hammer, and metal is all that's needed. Of course, a good mask and tongs are important.

My neighbors gonna be pissed “Tink, Tink, Tink, Tink, Tink…..30 min….. Tink, Tink, Tink, Tink”

Shoutout to the guy for xoming so far. He said 200 subs. What a feeling to make it to well over a thousand. Keep up the solid work!

My boys are going to love this channel. They are 11 and 10.

Fantastic mate, thank you so much for this brilliant video. Rebar is literally everywhere and free 😊

Great to see a video of a rebar project. Rebar is affordable, available, and durable, so I like it. Great job!

Great job

Great video! New sub from a 49 y.o. looking to get started. Thanks!

Beautiful build! You sir, are a true craftsman!

Nice job man!!

I am so annoyed that I didn’t get into black smithing earlier. I could make pretty much all of my tools for my other hobby (wood work)

Thanks for the awesome review! I love been looking for a belt sander to make finger boards but I was hesitant to drop a lot of money

Is there a certain oil I should use

Thanks for the advice, bud! 41 years old and taking my first blacksmith class tomorrow. Thinking my backyard will soon have a start up forge!

You have a new sub young man. Please keep the craft going and stay humble. Your video has made me realize I can go back to my roots

whats the music you used in the background for this video?

Didn't watch because I'm a bit apprehensive about forging in the back yard. First, everyone would be able to see what I was doing. Secondly, if it starts to rain I'm afraid the paper would get all wet and ruin the prints.

Kick ass dude! This is awesome!

Great knife project the end result looks great. You know your stuff about forging and metal work and the handle wood finish and shape looks good. As far as I can tell you've just started bulding up your workshop and your tools and with every project you can learn to get better. One or two things thoug I noticed about the handle that I wouldn't have done this way and I like to explain why. Just to give you some tips what you can do better next time. Sorry if this sounds harsh I'm no expert and I'm no knife maker but more like a hobby woodworker watching different knife maker videos. In other words I'm just a nitpicky nerd with too much time. I've allready build my workshop over the years and accuiered new mashines and inherited used tools for woodworking. I'm not so much a blacksmith. But maybe I should start my idea of building a machete out of some lawnmooer blades I've collected instead of still watching others how they do knifes. First as one mentioned before the short tang is not the best and most robust solution. Maybe a peened bolt sideways throug the handle would have helped, but then again the hole for the bolt in the wooden handle is just another point of failure for splitting, pros and cons but I would have considered maybe a smale diamenter bolt. Better jet I've seen people welding threaded rods at short tangs and bolting them tight with a recessed nut. I've seen others chissel witherspoons in the sides of the tang, cut some edges in the tang with an angle grinder and/or rougth sanding the metal surface of the tang. This would give the tang better grip because two comonent epoxy glue doesn't like to stick to polished metal. Sooner or later and this is my theory, the metal and the wood contracts and expandes just slightly in different rates with the temperature changes and the epoxy glue could crack and peal of the metal surface of the tang. Therfore I understand why some knife makres don't rely on simply sticking glue on smooth metal. Well some methods like bolts and glue and then even boring holes in the full tang just to rougthen the survace is a bit overkill for my understanding, A rougth sanded metal on also rougth wood surface should stick together with glue. And now I feel the need to mention the thing that bothers me to see as a woodworker is the unstable wood grain direction in the handle not in the same direction as the blade. Maybe you choose the grain direction intentionaly for the looks or it was a mistake but this is definitely not a good combination with the short tang, you could do this grain on a full tang where the wood is just there to give the handle some thickness. I understand you had your doubts about the wood stability while you applied the wood stabilizer but I doubt once the knive is in heavy use while chopping the point of failure could be a wood crack in the grain direction exactly in the middle of the handle where the tang ends or the glue will fail sooner or later. I didn't see what you did to fill the cracks in your handle. But I've seen people doing all kinds of wood preperation for their knive handles. Such as soaking the wood in epoxy glue with a self build underpressure tank. This would give the wood more stability and durablility. Well sorry for the long post I just wanted to mention the wood grain issue and now I'm getting more and more ideas and maybe there is something usefull to consider. Anyway I wish you the best for your youtube channel and your blacksmithing workshop.

I enjoyed the video! God bless you!

I don't subscribe easy but I have left a sub. Im 44 and I want to give this a go so I'm gonna be watching a lot

I'm 25 with three kids a wife and a full time job. And you have inspired me to pursue my own blacksmithing journey. Thank you very much for your free advice. Keep up the great work.
