Blacksmithing - Forging a cone hardy and some hooks

  • In this video I make a cone hardy tool for the anvil. It can be used in many projects where you bend or tweak a round shape. The anvil horn is hardly ever completely round so this is a good complement. It also makes it easy to see what you are doing since it is upright, perpendicular to the anvil face.

    Very seldom do i repost on a video but i was really touched by seeing you teach your son to blacksmith. I am beginning to teach my granddaughter she is 7 and she truly loves to use the tools and its so rewarding to see her so happy just doing what pap does. Thanks for passing your love onto your son it really is a great thing. Takecare and keep you all safe.

      Get a small propane furnace, two-three hammers, a handful of files and use a piece of train rail as your first anvil. With that alone you can craft all sorts of useful and/or beautiful little knickknacks. My buddy made himself a Thor's Hammer neckless with nothing but a small blowtorch, an ordinary hammer and a Dremmel tool. The "bar stock" was a random 4" nail and the anvil was a granite cobblestone.

    Great job, congratulations. I remember when I was passing the forge as a child when I was going to school. A beautiful brick building from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, with a roof for horses waiting to be shoed. . It is true that back then (in the 1980s) the forge was hardly working anymore, but sometimes the door was open and seeing the interior and equipment it excited my imagination. When watching your films, I sometimes come back to those memories. Best regards from Poland.
