Blacksmithing Projects for the Family

Times are uncertain and you might currently be "self-quarantined", but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy some quality time together as a family while working in the forge. Gather everyone up and get started on these beginner to intermediate projects and practice those critical skills and techniques of blacksmithing.
In this video, we'll show you four different project ideas. Each of these projects in the video were made from 3/8" round stock, but you can easily make them with whatever material you have on hand. You'll need some punches, a hot chisel, some tongs, a hammer, and a few other items, but the tools required are fairly simple.
As always, let us know if you have any questions or suggestions! (And don't forget to hit that subscribe button!) Thank you for your support for our family business!

What a great idea for keeping the kiddos busy. My kids are all grown and gone but if I had grand kids this would be a terrific learning experience for both me (novice) and the kids. Thank you!! I think I will go make these anyway.

Wish you had plisted time-stamps for the start of each project. Would have made searching for specific ones when I want to make them.

1/4" and 3/8" rod and all is A36 mild steel,,,,,

The only snake I'm going to forge will have a heal crushing it's head! Just a reminder to The snake of his fate

[@TheNuggetshooter]

Great video. just what a beginner like me needs -- simple projects. What size chisel are you using in the video? Is it your standard chisel or a smaller size? Thanks for posting!

[@KjZiturKensCustomIron]

I'm using the standard chisel in this video. Let us know if you need anything else! -Ken
