ADHD people!!! iIts a joke I have ADHD so I do know. reverse psychology kept you watching. hope you enjoyed it. cheers J
Ah, but the joke's on you because it was my adhd that made me go looking in the comments for... something. Where was i going with this again?
Super cool video, I've been a bit stumped recently on how to bang out heads on nails with the limited tools i have and this gave me a lot of good ideas, so cheers!
@@anarchistangel2314 anytime. All the very best. Cheers J
@Danger Bear I'm very glad. I would say ADHD helps me make them, lots of energy and creativity is needed.
My adhd and curiosity is what got me got into blacksmithing
Do you sell hand made tools like the one you made for metal nails?
Super cool heading tool design!!!
The man himself! Cheers Alec. Missing you over the pond buddy. Really glad for you and the success you've had. Would love to have a chat with you one day if it's no trouble? All the very best. Cheers J
Wow both of you in one place wonderful God bless you both Jesus Christ loves you much love from an aspiring blacksmith and armor in Kansas City USA ;)
@@sheaross3124 bless you too! Cheers J
Bring on the collab!
Legendary.
Makes a 30 minute video on how to make 30 second nails. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be. You have my subscription
Thank you. Cheers J
You and your friends were both right and both wrong about the metallurgy debate. Here is why:
Your friends are correct. Steel is an isotropic material, meaning that its properties are the same in all directions.
However, true isotropic steel is very rare. In nearly all steel there are impurities and physical defects such as inclusions. These impurities and defects are anisotropic, meaning that their properties vary in different directions.
Hot rolling steel (into a bar for example) lines up the impurities and defects along the direction of rolling until they are like the long spaghetti looking grains in wood. So in this respect you were correct.
Hot rolling steel does not align the grains of the steel itself though, so in this respect your friends were correct.
The impurities in steel do not affect many of the properties that we ultimately use to calculate a steels "strength", so in this respect your friends were correct.
However, the impurities do affect how ductile the steel is. As a result the steel will be more ductile along the direction it was rolled, and more brittle perpendicular to the rolled direction.
The cracking when you bent the nail over was not a strength issue, it was due to inadequate ductility. It was happening because the steel was not very ductile (aka it was brittle) along the length of the nail when the nail was cut from the stock perpendicular to the rolled direction. However the steel was much more ductile (aka less brittle) along the nails length when the nail was cut from the stock parrallel to the direction that the bar was rolled. So what you observed happening in the two differently cut nails makes perfect sense, but not for the exact reasons you thought it did.
I will let you and your mates sort out who was ultimately right and who was wrong. However, as I see it you were both wrong and both right at the same time - just about different things.
Cheers,
Leo
Awesome leo thank you so much for that! I hope you'll contribute to more discussions in future videos. Good man. Cheers J
A for effort man!!
Thank you Leo for the explanation.
Given that "very rare" really means unicorn rare, I'm going to go with he was right and his friends were wrong. I mean seriously, is steel without impurities even a theoretical possibility in the normal course of life.
@@josephdestaubin7426 given that the "impurities" are what makes it steel, no! Otherwise it would be puddled iron.
Nice! As someone said - tool up or die! Ha ha
Thank you! Haha that rings true. Cheers J
I love you Tor-be-yorn, did I pronounce it right?
Can you explain that please? Gotta learn

Hello Joshua very interesting video on making nails. As a 74 year old Joiner I used to clench nails on heavy framed, ledged, board and braced doors, and by God you would never pull out that nail. But its really enjoyed to watch you solve, making the nails on a production basis. Great to watch your videos, please keep them coming. Best wishes Geoff Lewis, Wales, UK.
Thank you Geoff. Always a pleasure my friend to see you in the comments. Cheers J
Outstanding! Small yet functional shop. I've done a lot of metal work but only starting to forge... I guess it is a natural progression and these videos are very helpful. I've got a long way to go, but this is inspiring.
Sir you have a hell of a setup in a little shed. I started out in one of those. Haven't made a cent. Now it belongs to the Mrs. Hats off to you, nice setup.
Thank you Edward! I had a fantastic workshop before with a good power hammer and everything but had to shut up shop after 8 years of trading. This shed is my attempt to re build my business with a bit more wisdom, cost effectiveness and efficiency. So far when I get the time it's working well. I've got another 2500 nails to make now... Will tool up the power hammer this time. Cheers J
Seen clinched nails("Square Heads","Form Nails",etc) for years:very reliable when need be.Turning them into "ROSE HEAD'S",Very awesome.And taught me "HOW ITS CONSTRUCTED"!.
Awesome video!
Thank you. Cheers J
Good fun. I want to make some nails so I will have to come back and watch this again when my shop drys out so I can work. Thanks for the demo and the chat.
Hello Joshua, only today I came across your channel today 17 - 4 - 20. And found it brilliant, I am not a metal worker, I am a 74 year old Joiner, I had a very good friend who was a Fabricator Welder and was rated as an excellent tradesman. You bring back memories of him, with your ingenuity and determination to devise and solve problems that you are given. I enjoy metalwork, as working on wood from the age of 15 years old, it's a delight to do something different. Please keep your videos coming, as they are so interesting, especially as you are on a tight budget, I know, I was once selfemployed and appreciate your efforts. Best wishes Geoff Lewis, Wales, UK. 🏴🏴
Thank you Geoff. I appreciate your kindness and support. looking forward to catching up in the next videos. cheers J
Thanks for all your time and effort in putting this together, it was both instructional and inspirational. An old mate used to say "you can judge a man by the quality of his enemies". I'd rather judge you by the ability of the people who comment on your work, especially Leo P. I enjoyed your humour and I'm looking forward to seeing a lot more of your work.🇦🇺👍
Thank you, I appreciate your kindness and glad you enjoyed it. Lots more coming soon. Cheers J
First, this is a wonderful video detailing precisely how ancient peoples forged the future through sheer determination and insane focus. Back in the late 1970's I took it up the task of building myself a 17th century Colonial ( Massachusetts, New England) timber frame home and in the course taught myself rudimentary blacksmithing. The one piece nail header you made is mostly correct for wire nails. Smiths would buy or even make their own round stock. Often, two wires would be forged together or folded back on itself without actually welding it to achieve thickness. This is seen in clapboard nails from the period that are oddly split lengthwise (I've scrounged nail kegs full of nails from burnt or rotting houses - I worked as a carpenter back then). The wire was shaped over the horn as the curve of the horn can clearly be seen in the old forged nails. SHape was usually tapered rectangular. Clapboard nails came to a fine point indicating pre drilling a hole - probably with a small gimlet the sidewaller carried in his apron. Nails were generally 2.5 inches long with distinctive small "ears " at the four corners of the head, not the familiar rose head nails which would be too big for clapboards. These were always pure wrought iron so as not to bleed through the whitewash or paint. Flooring nails resemble your sheared nails in shape and 6 inches long to go through 2 layers of flooring into the joists. The interesting point is that most nails were actually cold-headed. This was done in a vise resembling a leatherworkers stitching horse but foot operated, called a nailer's horse. Using a peening hammer, the trick is to glance a blow to one corner creating an ear that held the headless nail from being driven through the anvil portion. The other three ears were similarly struck. Interestingly, this was often work farmed out to locals who "headed" for extra income. Your one-piece header would be used in a similar manner in the pritchart hole for true rose head nails and simply upended and the cooling nail tapped out. The only thing you have wrong is the shallow domes on both your tools. They should be Mt Fuji shaped because period rose headed nails are mushroom shaped underneath, not flat, as if having little aprons. This allowed them to either bite into the wood or set smoothly onto an iron bar without raised jagged edges catching a passing finger. Computer tech think they are so clever, but NOTHING compared to a 17th century country blacksmith. Love the blower set up for you forge chimney! Peace brother (I've been waiting fifty years to tell someone all that)
Walter Holmes, THANK YOU. I did a screen shot of your amazing comment here and I will print it and keep it at our little forge for reference. A lot of important information in one YT comment
My favourite part of this high-quality video is the adulting portion. Thank you for your instruction!
Thank you so much
Cheers J
You're accurate enough on your theories of grain structure.
I am using an induction heater to heat up bronze rod that I am then pressing into a die to make carriage bolts for my wooden boat. I built the induction heater from an old microwave oven transformer.
You could stick your nail stock into the heater's coil, get it red hot in a few seconds, turn to the power hammer and have it slam the hot stock between two dies, which also cuts it. I'll bet that the shake when the hammer retracts will cause the nail to fall out of the die, and into a strategically placed pail of water. In the meantime you are heating the next section of your raw stock wich is shortly to become the next nail. Rinse and repeat.
The links at the bottom should give you some ideas. The heaters are easy to build, low voltage, and the coil will not burn you, only the stock being heated.
BTW, I love your channel and your power hammer design is brilliant! I can't wait to build one for myself. Ohh, i also have no doubt that Arduino will be no problem for a guy like you.
Cheers,
Leo

Don't pay attention to the coil size thing. Just look at how fast the small coil heats the rod stock. He paid $300 for this machine btw. Homemade would be cheaper and just as good though if you have the time. His other videos are good too.

Joshua again you bring light in manufacturing process, a real pleasure watching you! Believe it or not, i just started forging nail's the past week but with different tool, obviously over 30 seconds per nail. Thank you for sharing your lessons!
Thank you so much! My problem is people ask me to do stuff I've not done before, we agree a price and then I have a mad creative panic to achieve it and make it pay. Not the best way to run a business but it does push me to be more inventive.
@@joshuadelisle in a wierd way i find my self in the same position, but i do mostly gates, garden furniture and so on, and additional problem only from 17 to 22 some days even late... Since i am also working in engineering.... Honestly the thing that keep us going on is the pleasure of red iron... But is tiring...anyway i wish you the best... And these days most of the people want fast and cheap...nobody thinks for 10 /15 years... They all want now now now
@@anafradu954 yep my client said straight after ordering 'I needed these yesterday' .... Londoners... I found my self in a strange place of having gained all these skills in traditional work but not making enough to live and support my family. Engineering was my attempt to adapt using the same knowledge and skills and gain better a income. Once you start blacksmithing though it doesn't go away. Cheers J
I realize at this stage of my life of the many things i could of been involved in, but time is not on my side. Great work, and problem solving, a pleasure to watch craftmen at work.
Thank you. There are lots of things I'm not very good at and many weaknesses. But I've learned that if I focus on my natural strengths then I achieve far more. What I struggle with I manage to get others to help me with it (like Tax returns...). I hope that what ever stage in life you are at that you'll keep on working around the difficulties and achieve successes using what is special and unique to you. All the very best. J
youtube comments are basically people talking about either "One day.. " or .... "if only"... just do it. If you can type on a keyboard there's _some_ kind of metal work you can do, improve your attitude...
@@dgtlmoon your right. If they truly want it they can. But often life has other options that are subjectively more important that they choose to do instead. I think the key for them is not to kid themselves by saying they can't but either do or do not, there is no can't...
_Okay. This is amazing. It would have never occurred to me that the structure of the metal would make any difference. Very interesting video. Worth a sub for sure_
Thank you. Cheers J
Your never too old to still learn each day. Great video
Thank you. I'm glad you found it helpful. Cheers J
I watched a bunch of forging nails videos in preparation for forging my first nail (and first blacksmithing project ever!). I love how everyone does it just a little differently and there's no "right" way to do it. I learned from my dad who learned at Old Sturbridge Village, a living history museum in Massachusetts, almost 50 years ago. I'm documenting my journey learning blacksmithing on my channel.
Thank you. all the very best. cheers J
You just got another sub.
A nail in 30 seconds and a half hour video... it got me laughing at beginning
Great video!
Ha ha thank you. Cheers J
@@joshuadelisle The video looks like it took about 6-12 hours to produce ie film edit and publish
Really enjoyed this! I worked in the metal trades as a boilermaker for 35 years, worked in the shops for 10 then did maintenance work on the equipment that we built after it had been in HARD service for the other 25 years. I would love to have a set up like yours and copy your projects but alas, funds are always shy for hobbies (I have a full music studio for instance and love motorcycles too). Keep up the good work - love your presentation, kept me watching to the end (even though I have ADHD!). All the best!
Ha ha. Thank you. Cheers J
the 30 second nail in a 30 minute video... i enjoyed every minute 😉👌
This is the first video I've seen from your channel, but certainly not the last! I should have my gas forge running within 2-3 months, so watching another smith's processes and analyzing various set-ups is quite useful. Your tooling for this job was excellent (I've got much spottier welds under my belt), thanks for sharing!
Thank you and all the very best. Cheers J
No one is ever wrong its call learning. You taught me a thing or 2 . Great stuff.
Thank you. cheers J
You're a genius my friend. Your mechanical inclination is on par. Keep going.
Thank you so much. Cheers J
When you made the series of holes for the cut out in the retaining block take a short peice of power hacksaw blade and tap it into the holes . Use the anvil to back the steel block. You'll be surprised how easy the hardened steel cuts through. Great video. 😀😃😎
Thank you Rod. Good idea. Cheers J
Great video sir. I was actually thinking of making a rivet header similar to your nail header. Never thought of doing a split nail header before. And the issues you ran into have given me a couple ideas for alterations. Again great video sir very informative
Nice content! Subscribed.
The point of automating things is if It becomes easy to make and other people start doing the same, it will not be difficult, not fancy anymore and the clients will not pay too much for then anymore.
So, sometimes, keeping the automation process to yourself is a good move, unless you can make money from the videos or selling the automation process. But even in this way, the nails and the process tends to become cheaper. It is the basic moving of industrialization. Best regards!
never thought something so simple as making nails could catch my interest, but it did. very cool, thanks.
Thank you Keith. Cheers J
Well done Josh. I really appreciate the education and thought behind your work...
Thank you very much! I like to teach and hopefully one day will start hosting courses. Cheers J
Excellent content. Love the discussion regarding your methodology and vision for improving it. Your employer must be very happy to have you aboard!
Thank you. I'm self employed these days. Cheers J
That homemade tool is ingenious, very interesting.
Thank you for the clinch nail explanation. Brilliant concept from a bygone era.
Thank you. Cheers J
I am woodworker , I found this video very interesting and inspiring . Woodworking does not use nails as much as glue anymore but I still like the old world tech for classic and strong hardware . Thanks for this video and I learned a lot about metal engineering . Ie: carbon restructuring the outer layer of the steel and the grain of steel . thanks again .
Thank you so much for watching. All the very best. Cheers J
Just great. I love the old nails you are right they are beautiful ! I also never heard of case hardening compound.. thanks for the lesson.
Thank you David. Cheers J
by far the best design for a nail header I've seen
Thank you! I've got a lot more to make so i'm making an even better tool for doing it. coming soon. cheers J
Tanks you. This Video is full of really interesting tricks than I will use for sure. First time I see your videos I subscribe for sure. (For your weld breaks off problem, you just have to heat your bigger piece first (cherry red) and the weld will be stronger) from North Est Canada. Merci beaucoup
If you gotta make a product and has to look similar, that is a magnificent way of doing that.
Very interesting. This Spring I'll be restoring a Georgian granary on my land, and I'll be using as many original nails (or period nails sourced elsewhere) as possible but I'll still need to make at least a hundred new ones, so this has been instructive. Your instruction on bending and clinching the nail through the wood was also very useful- I mightn't have thought to place the flat against the grain if I hadn't seen it here. Thank you!
Thank you and all the very best. Cheers J
great to see someone finally use a filtered Lense designed for welding well done.
i bought one of those tiny leaf blower/vacuums too! for this reason!! ty for proving the thought i had to work. now i can go ahead with my own build :D huzzah im not an idiot after all!
Well done. I actually broke it since. Now I use a Y connection to the main blower with its own valve. Works just as well. Cheers J
Superb explanation, especially covering how the nail works and what you would do different. I now want to make Nails.
Thanks dude. Cheers J
I recognized the horse head at the beginning from watching Gary Huston. Well thought out and explained video.
Thank you! I've got more designs on the way. Gary said he's having a go at my Ram Skull next. Cheers J
You must be familiar with Albert Paley, right? His gates are incredible.
Lovely tool design!
Absolutely brilliant tool design. Well done Joshua.
Thank you Brett. Good to hear from you again. Cheers J
I came here looking to learn to make nails to build a cabin one day. (I have a strange desire to build it with only hand methods and whatnot). Instead, you rekindled an old interest in smithing. I never did mess with it much, but it's always been fascinating to me. Cheers from the Western United States!
Thank you so much Jason. I hope to do more smithing videos again next year. At the moment I've got lots of fabrication commissions and sculptures. All the very best. Cheers J
Forging is eternal! Just like learning 😎Strength for your arms my friend!
Thank you Tamas. I've made at least 4000 nails since and my arm was very tired...
Another place the grain direction is vital is making blades, if you ever watch Forged in fire where they forge blades in a competition format you'll see blades snap often, and an "expert" look at the break blaming large grain structure and hardness when in fact they never reset that grain structure before hardening. It applies to other items too, you made a more important point than just nails.
Thank you Tim. cheers J
Great video Joshua that was very informative, I like the way you tried to replicate how this would have been done in a large scale factory not too long ago. Keep up the great content my friend.
Thank you so much! I like the idea how blacksmithing evolves into industrial manufacturing. I would like to start making it more environmentally friendly though....
You're absolutely correct on the grain structure of rolled (especially cold rolled) steel: the uniform grains formed when the steel is initially cast in pigs elongate as the metal is stretched by rolling (or forging), and the metal is more likely to fail in tension (which is where the failure starts if you bend a thin piece like a nail) along the grain boundaries than through a grain. This is why forged steel is stronger (in the correct direction, at least) than cast steel -- the grain structure acts almost like wood grain (and much more so in wrought iron than in modern steel). When you "normalize" those nails, you allow the metal to recrystallize, returning to the random structure of unworked metal (annealing does this more thoroughly, while normalizing locks some of the structure into the "hot" structure when the metal cools).
Thank you so much. Cheers J
Delightful personality and good at explaining techniques. I enjoyed the view.
Thank you so much. Cheers J
Best way I can think of to describe case hardening is a toffee apple. Great video mate, enjoyed it!! Keep it up 👍👍
Thank you Nath! Cheers J
this is the best vid video with the exact discription of what and why you do something
With you on the venturi forge exhaust set up... I use a side vent / coal setup with 10inch flue. I have a bathroom extractor fanto install under my bend same a you....Thanks will try it now
Great on the venturi, but did you wonder why the blower was out in the weather and not in the building? A pipe bent into a 90 would allow it.
Nice one. I just might steal this idea. The only alteration I would do is combine the surface-hardening compound treatment with a superquench. I do it routinely on many tools (though not on all of them, by any means). Mild steel, treated this way (even without the surface hardening compound) will give you Rc of 46, which isn't too shabby. Great demo of the steel grain structure, too! You are spot on about it.
Thank you so much! I was really questioned about the grain structure info after making a clip on making a tool for the power hammer. I had to really look for information to back it up, I should have kept my references but I think the test proves a lot although I didn't show the comparison of my other test piece. Time restrictions....
That is a really cool tool, gives me ideas!
Interesting information about the grain structure of rolled mild steel, wrought iron (the material) has a grain structure for rather different reasons you can see that grain in the way the iron rails in the Tower of London where the iron rails have worn over time!
Very good idea, excellent job! I will definitely maybe try this out 😊
Thank you! Got another video making these with the power hammer doing two heads at a time. Coming soon. Cheers J
New subscriber. I did study metallurgy in high school. Very interesting video. High school was over 50 years ago.
Keep M coming.
Thank you. Cheers J
outside looking in... sticking with the 2 piece header, make the spring to where it holds it slighty open, and matching steps on either side, set it in the post vice, close vice, insert blank nail, hammer away, open vice finished nail drops out (or a little tap to get gravity in motion) chuck in fresh blank, repeat until done
That would work. Thank you. Cheers J
All the hallmarks of an excellent teacher, I have learned a lot enquire, thanks for keeping music to a minimum
Thank you. Cheers J
You see these nails all the time in older houses used to hold joists, floor boards and roof trusses. they're bloody brilliant
They are. I find more now than ever some of the old ways are the best ways. Cheers J
Learnt about case hardening gears, bonus content.
Very nice 👌! Thanks for sharing this!!!
Well done Josh, you nailed it!! Ha!!
Ha ha! You could say that. Cheers J
My first time seeing your channel. Excellent job of making everything very understandable.
Thank you Penny. Cheers J
Super gemacht 👍
An option to prevent the arm disconnecting from the clenching head would be to extend the "arms" to the sides, this would allow a greater weald area and refucee torc on the join.
I absolutely loved this brilliant instructional video. Will be experimenting with this, those nails are exquisite. Peace 💞
Good Idea David. Thank you. Cheers J
So cool! Love your vids! Still have yet to build my power hammer but it will happen. 🙂
Loved this video Josh. Super interesting and really like your idea with the split nail former. Might try make one for myself 🤔
Thank you! I think it's a bit easier to use than the traditional former but also if you used sheared stock and fine point nails it's the only way otherwise they bend over or pass through the traditional former. Cheers J
Incredible, that what means when you have a right tool
I've got new tool I'm working on for the power hammer. Should do 2 nails at a time in 10 seconds is what I hope to achieve. I'm building an auto feed gas forge too. Cheers J
That's an innovative approach. Nicely done!
Thank you. Cheers J
This is exceptionally good!
JIM
Thank you Jim
Brilliant i like this better than the traditional way very nice way to improve productivity.
Thank you. cheers J
Hi Joshua DeLile, I got my hip operation so I am grounded for 6 weeks, so I wont get using my hydraulic hole cutter for some time 6 weeks barring complications. but as I heal i will be thinking of projects like wind vanes that came to me lying in hospital allong with a few other ideas. So just watching you make the rose head neail die. good info. bye for now Tom in Ayr Scotland.
Hi Tom. Hope you get better soon. Regarding wind turbines I have an idea for one to pump and top up my compressor, so acting as an air battery which if you think about it is easier and better for the environment than lithium, I've already bought parts for the prototype. Cheers J
Fascinating stuff! Great video.
Thank you. Cheers J
Nice job! if it was me i would have put that hardening paste on one of the "nails to be" and then temper it so i could make that round hole square.just a thought. keep up the good work!
That's a good idea! Cheers J
amazing channel- one of my fav on RUclips
Thank you so much. cheers J
You are correct Josh the grain follows the rolling direction that's why we do tensile testing of plate and bar in both longitudinal and transverse.
Just had a load of traditional Smith's disagree on FB and being quite upset about it.... I'm glad I've got your backing. Cheers J
To you by any chance have an article about I could share to the haters...?
@@joshuadelisle I will look one up my current role is as the 3rd party inspector for a major nuclear project I am a level 3 welding inspector so metallurgy is quite up there in my role get back to you later.

@@georgegriffiths2235 your a good man George thank you very much. Are there many welding jobs going, I've always fancied doing quality pipe welding.
quite interesting s7 would be an awesome material for this application
thanks for sharing this it was great
i wonder if you could make a die for a row of nails and hammer them all with one long shaped block or die with the nail head shapes formed into it
maybe it could cut the production time down?
Great job with this!
Love your enthusiasm and you video was very informative
Thank you Chris. cheers J
Brilliant video with clear information. You have earned yourself a subscriber 😀
Thank you so much. cheers J
Killer idea!! Love it. New quarantine project, lol
Thank you. Cheers J
Thanks for your technical ideea and for video quality a really show .Greetings from RO.
Thank you Dan. Cheers J
Man that's incredible! This is a great video!!! I subbed!!!! Thanks
Thank you. Cheers J
Definitely true. Look up a video on how the bar is made. The grain structure is formed by the way they pull the metal through the die
Thank you. Looking at other comments there maybe truth in both sides and other ways to explain the grain flow. It's not very clear when trying to find it on the internet. Cheers J
Excellent video bud! Just ran across this on my intro page. I subscribed.
Thank you. Welcome. Cheers J
No need for the pilot holes... ..defo going to make that tool for myself..... Just finishing up the forge my dad started on before his memory started fading off. Need to make like a million+ nails for my house extensions floors.... ..I'm a restoration builder, so need for the forged nails is also continuous. Thanks for the tutorial
Thank you. I piloted it to neck in the head otherwise it just pushes through. All the very best. Cheers J
men... love it! your talk true is fantastic!
Thank you very much! Cheers J
Regarding directional grain of metal bars: I have worked with sintering powders of tungsten or molybdenum into solid ingots, which are then heated yellow and rolled to flatten them. This process definitely produces elongated grain structure in the direction of the roll. I have seen it in micrographs. Steel bars are also produced this way, either hot or cold rolled. This is done often in stages because it is to difficult to drastically reduce cross section in one go, so that grain formed in the prior heating and cooling cycle will then be stretched in the next roll. Usually too, the steel will be cooling as it gets rolled, so the grain is formed and elongated basically in one step. I went back to refresh on how you made the die, and came across this point that I missed the first time I saw the video. So there is my 2 cents.
Thank you thats awesome info Tim. cheers J
Fantastic video as always what more can you expect from this guy
Your very kind. Thank you. Cheers J
excellent tool Blacksmith. Rose head nails for fishing boats Is me project for the summer aint got a workshop built. I have one from Mano Mano. Just no helpers to get it built....
interesting stuff. banged that project out in no time

I enjoyed this video. Lots of good info on several points of interest. I'll be sharing this with my fellow blacksmiths. You got my sub👍
Thank you so much! It's not traditional smithing but it works and earns well. Cheers J
I like your building......I guess when you make lots and lots of money you may choose to build a more substancial building .....or not. I really enjoyed your video. It's nice you added the useful information at the end. And I also appreciated the way you made your commentary very easy to understand. I'm a 60 year old disabled US Air force veteran who has lost my hearing and some videos are so hard to get each word and when a word is lost the whole sentence can sound like utter nonsense. I subscribed to your channel so HOW MUCH PER MONTH WILL IT COST ME? Kidding.......*old, yes*, *decreped, yes*, *stupid, no* got to go now. Lots more of your videos to watch. GOT TO GET MY MONEYS WORTH.
@@Spaceghost2000x ha ha! Your very welcome, I appreciate your kind encouragement. I've got another video on the hammer coming up soon. Cheers J
