I feel like watching Bob Ross with an "iron brush". Relaxing video, you make everything look so easy. Excellent work!
This guy is probably the best RUclips instructor I have come across. I learn so much. And his content is consistently good.
I enjoy your videos a great deal.
That braided twist is what a handspinner would call a 2x3 cabled ply. The existence of cabled yarns pre-dates the Bronze age, so I wonder if some smith looked at what his mother, sister and/or wife was doing with her yarn and thought "bet I could do that at the forge, too..."
That braided twist handle is a thing of beauty.
Thanks
"It's amazing how much easier things move when they're hot". This reminded me my first hot-smithing steel after months of cold-working on copper. I was like- wait, shouldn't steel be harder to work on?
i was weirdly proud of bein able to figure out how to do it just by looking at it (for reference ive never hit a hot piece of metal with a hammer)
You're the master 👍😃
Hey there John. I know I'm way late here with my comment but maybe next time put a hose clamp on the ends there and that might make things a little easier for you. Great job on the braiding too! Well done sir.
👍❤️❤️👌
I forgot how wild that looked at the end haha I watched this the day you released it, STILL haven't tried it!!! Lol Maybe tonight tho?
It’s been a long time since the last time I have been forging. I’m dying to start again when I see this.
you're the reason i want to start blacksmithing too. Thank you for that John:)
That's probably the most awesome technique I've seen so far.
Look up a rubies twist. Not as cool but still a beautiful twist.
So nice to see him knowing what he is doing.... I ll whatch all his vids. Thanks a lot.
Great work. I might try to make a knife with a Braided Handle.
1:00 in and see a twisting wrench I need that I might be able to make! Absolutely love your videos!
Good stuff!
I know i was stumped by this but like all your videos you make it look easy thanks for the upload.
Glad to help
Yeah these are the videos that make me continue to want to work metal
Who dislikes this??? this is awesome, thank you sir, I will definitely use this technique in the future
Once I get a forge setup it looks like a fun project to make a chipping hammer for arc welding
Мужик, молодец. Отличная работа.
I enjoyed this. Other than the sweat, heat, and burning myself every three minutes, this might become a hobby!
The sweat and heat isn't so bad in the winter.
Twisting the night away :)
This guy is the best
You're definitely an artist
THANK YOU FOR A GREAT VIDEO IT BRINGS BACK MEMORIES, MY GRANDFATHER WAS A BLACKSMITH I USED TO TURN THE CRANK FOR THE BLOWER WHEN HE WORKED. MAN THAT WAS FIFTY YEARS AGO...................THANK YOU AGAIN
Amazing. Your videos make me wish I had enough time to do some smithing. I've only done some very basic rudimentary stuff in the past. You really are an artist in iron.... well steel.
Really fine-looking twist! So simple yet so, to use your word, MYSTIFYING!
Beautiful! I will try this very soon! Thanks, John!
Your expertise and knowledge should be in a book!
Thanks for the videos!
great idea on the braid. surprised how simple it was in the end. thanks.
Another fine job, John. I so love watching you with a hand hammer and your narration is just right- no info I don't need.

After finding your videos and finding a local metal supplier with perfect drops for blacksmithing cheap I am now just waiting for my local Forge to open for the year and I can't wait to make this and confuse other blacksmiths. Absolutely fantastic channel, subscribed and I subscribe to almost nothing
Sweet work what a thing of beauty
Thank you kindly
If that was a handle of a knife that would be awesome!!!
I so want to start blacksmithing!
This channel is criminally undersubscribed. Thanks for all of your effort!
I appreciate that!
@@BlackBearForge I have a question for you! I've browsed your videos looking for one about what sizes of stock you keep on hand. Is there one? If not, I am curious what sizes of stock you would recommend a beginner keep in their shop.
Wow, that's amazing work. Highly inspired
What great result!
Your GREAT! Thanks for sharing.
That was awesome!! Thank You.
Really like your channel......makes me miss my Dad who could do a lot of what you do.....it's an art and I hope it's not lost in my lifetime.
really cool!
Wow that is awesome!
Very impressive!
Awesome
Vary nice! Thank you for showing this the way you did.

Great video John, it's a really nice twist
Great video.
Gonna try that. Thanks John
Very cool
Really cool work!
Thank you so much. Love learning black smithing from your vids.
A little tip. When twisting tieing wire always twist it clock wise if you're right handed. If you tie rebar all day your arm will die twisting wire the wrong way.
So good
Superb, amazing to watch, thank you sir.
Wow, you made that look easy. Very cool.
Well once again youve amazed as well as inspired. Thank you for knowledge sir.
amazing content!
awesome work. i love how the cam is picking up the heat waves of the parts. shows how hot things are even when its cooled down.
Love it brother. Really, really helpful. As always, thanks.
Excellent technique!
Wonderful handle! Loved the demonstration!!!
Beautiful work a piece of art!!
A work of art

Yeah!!!!! Let's twist again 😂 Nice and subtle...... brilliant 😊
Another good one my friend. I really like the view of the new wall mount gives a great prospective on the shop and the anvil. Thx again for sharing.....Paul
Excellent teaching. Many thanks.
Thats a really awesome looking technique
Just the right time, just bought some 1/4 rod to do exactly that but had no idea how, this saved me a lot of trial and error!
tnx for sharing your knowledge
Wow. I don't even have a forge but I love seeing this xD
Nothing short of amazing, sure looks like it's actually braided. Thanks John.
Getting interested in blacksmithing. Much to learn but your videos are a great resource. Thank you!
Great video
Nice shop sir.
Cool twist
Greetings from New Jersey, stumbled upon you video, like what I saw. 👍
Thanks for coming
I enjoyed watching you very much, you are true craftsman.
Honestly. Such wholesome learning here👌🏻
glad this popped up as I am started moving into guard making and things like twist bar cores for swords.
Another nice job you make it very interesting to watch nice videos.
I love this thanks for the video! I had a request for a fire poker but I didn’t want a wooden handle so I think I’ll go with this!
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls
Thats awesome. I always thought they really were braided.
wow that looks like way more work than it was! Great Demo!!!
Thank you!.... I did this years ago... but forgot how to do it! Easy Peasy! :)
I love all your videos.... been so long since I have done it.... have some time to get back into it now... :)
So glad I stumbled across this channel. Liked and subscribed. Nice work
Really appreciate ur videos. I have yet to put hammer to steel. I’m still building my forge. But I still sit up all night with a glass of bourbon enjoying ur videos. Thank you.
Yet again the Master amazes the masses . Thanks John The Shop Teacher .
Always enjoy your videos. Still on the long road to get my shop up and running. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Very cool I like how it turns out. I might have to go out try that today I'm done similar but not three groups👍👍
Watching it again and thank you and God bless📖⛪
Good job I am learning a lot from you. Keep it going. David Johnson
Ive learned so much from your videos and have inspired me to do more than blades and have really enjoyed traditional blacksmithing !
That turned out amazing, man I can't wait til I can afford my own setup! soo cool!
