Your forge welding videos are the best on RUclips. Hope to see more from you soon!

I've gotten wrought that looked like playdough, but recently I bought a bunch with next to no slag and it forged like a dream, zero delamination.

Great work!

Super ! Il y a encore 45 ans on m'a appris le métier de Métallier de cette façon. Bon effectivement je pense que nous étions avec mes camarades les derniers a avoir été formé de cette façon au lycée technique 😢

Thanks you so much

Question, quel type d acier utilisez vous s il vous plaît ?

Hi- a little error on the diagrams- you show the welds in line rather than at 90’ Took me a couple of checks to see what you did with the actual forging🤔👍

I can't make out what the word is you are preventing. Gaul? Is that like a cold shut?

Love. This was the first thing that I was asked for when I started forging, I said no but now I have seen this I would have more confidence

Thanks for the lesson. I really appreciate the way you showed the different ways to achieve crisp shoulders. Your production values are good. It might be helpful to have a voice over explaining things as it's a little tough to read while concentrating on the hammer work. Keep up the good work. I have subscribed

Thanks for doing these lessons, I've found them very helpful and informative. All the best from Australia.👍✌️

👍✌️⚒️

It would have been interesting to know/see how much the bars grew in length. Thanks for posting.

Why don't you use flux? Or, why does most others on YT use flux... Does it help in your opinion?

Nice clean work

I love that you can pick an old bolt out of a skip & see that it was handmade, how it was made & the blacksmith was right handed. The work you are doing now will be looked over in 200 yr time and someone will do the same. It took me a while to get used to the marks left by my hand tools, now I see them as makers marks.

Thanks Rowan

Rowan, this series is fantastic. This particular video could benefit from some comparative analysis across the techniques.

Рад видеть снова вас в ютубе. Спасибо за науку.

very nice work. Everyone should strive to be this good at these elements of blacksmithing.

Thank you for a very informative video.

Well done sir!

Great info! Thanks!

Great stuff! Thanks!

Is it me or does he sound like Rowan Taylor? Great video too here! But wow I had a flashback to the old Rowan days!

These videos are fantastic Rowan, well done.

I think it needs to be mentioned that today wrought iron isn't produced any longer in significant quantities. Todays rolled mild steels cover a range from 0.01% C (DC 07 sheet) up to 0.2% C.

How awesome. Such a great work 😍😍

What a great video 👍👍

Best fire welding instruction on RUclips or anywhere else!

More videos!

Thank you. These are great videos

17 years at the anvil and I've never seen a bolster like that.... I have to make one lol. Great stuff, brother.

Thanks

Great instruction

Beautiful! Since everything looked so smooth and easy I can't guess how long it took you to do this.

Puddle iron is practically nonexistent in the US. I have had no luck and finding any.

Nice work dude. Such a great work 👍👍

👏👍

Very nice and I bet it wasn’t his first time!

This is great stuff, I don't know how many blacksmiths are still doing these kind of jobs (most seem to plasma cut instead of welding) but as far as a record of tecniques is concerned theyre disappearing fast so thankyou for making the effort to preserve them

well presented ...fantastic break test on the cast iron...I could tell you were trying to swing the hammer really slowly lol

looks good to me, Thanks for sharing

It is a real master class! Thank you very much!

Great job, great channel! Thank you!

I can see the point with one of the other comments but your hand hammering work is exceptional and everyone should practice enough to work in this way, monkey tools help if you make a lot of tenons but for one off work you must be able to work with hammer, butcher and swage or tenon plate. Practice, is the name of the game until you get a job that needs thirty tenons, then make a monkey tool. Thankyou for sharing.

great stuff Rowan Thanks for sharing

Some years ago I had some swage blocks cast, and I admit to being very impressed at the skill of the foundrymen. I had a go, under their supervision, using my own pattern and I found that - as with so many things - much practice and experience really are the best recipe for successful casting...🙂

Now show how to do these in the middle of 20' bar.
