Thanks for watching this forge build! Check out our available products on www.ThatWorks.Shop . Also comment below what builds you want to see us make next!
I agree with the other folks suggesting that the Japanese forge needs to be christened with a Japanese blade. Doesn't need to be big, even a little tanto would be fine. But obviously bigger would be better.
Could you guys make a fencing sword or whatever it's called from the 1700-1800s, for more technical dueling? I'm not sure if I'm describing it correctly,but I have the kind of dueling from the mask of zoro movies in mind, a thin fencing sword. Would love to see one made.
A japanese style forge deserves to be used first in making a tanto blade, from start to finish, with the straw and rice paper, and clay and the folding technique, that would be awesome to watch.
16:37 what the hell kind of accent is Iliya trying to do?! Lol, it sounds like a mix of some Scandinavian accent mixed with something from around the Boston area mixed with something from Alabama... with hints of British flair.
I know i'm gonna attract hate for this (tries to hide) but the music in your videos is always so loud. Is there any chance you would consider turning the music down in your future vids? 😕 I know its not just you, everyone does it. I just thought i'd throw my sixpence worth in 😮 Btw, the leaf supports are really cool Ilya👍
Please keep doing bloopers that’s awesome. I’d love to see you make your own bloom steel and forge a katana or wakizashi from it. Especially if Ilya goes to town on the engravings
Seriously? 10 minutes of slow-motion hammering a piece of hot metal but only 15 seconds explaining the bellows? Not even a basic diagram of how it works or how you built it?
Looks nice, with clay shrinking 20-30% when fired I don't see it holding the fire bricks afterwards. Would you guys please show your forge after a few good heats?
Love the videos but please get shrouds on those angle grinders... worst injuries I’ve ever had to perform first aid on were from shattered grinding wheels...
I hate coming across as a besserwisser here, but surely you meant that this mighty fine forge you built here is a side blast forge, and not a side draft forge? As for what have seen, the draft refers to the suction caused by the chimney and hood, which helps suck the smoke out, and the blast refers to the blast of air coming from the tuyere, fueling the hearth. Just wanting to make sure the terminology stays true here, I enjoyed the video!
this video has really given me more hope to picking up blacksmithing sooner, one thing i worried alot about was a forge and i thought this build would be so complicated but.....its relatively easy. and i really like the bellows!
I learned a lot about building a charcoal forge being that I would like to build one myself I still maybe a long ways off on doing it but it was nice to see roughly the best way of doing so from a great group of blacksmiths. Stay safe guy's!
if i had more room id build one , this design is great i like the way you hung the hood with the leaves, nice touch. and the way you made the tuyere. i just started making my first sword never had the patience till now.
Can you point me in the direction of where / what high heat pottery clay you used or can use and what bricks you are using? I'm aware that concrete will explode but I'm trying to source some larger fire bricks and clay and can only find "high heat cement" here in the eastern united states. Ps great video, great new coal forge.
I'm over here struggling in motivating myself to finish the coal forge idea I had and these guys got a thousands of dollar power hammer and bad ass gas forge but want to somehow go back to the ancient times and make a Japanese forge? I don't get it at all When you accomplish getting the badass tools everyone wants you to primitive?
Traditional tachi from the Kamakura period or the sengoku jidai please or tensa zangetsu from bleach the animes returning and you guys need to make ichigos bankai and kenpachi zaraki zanpato as well please
1:59 Putting aside the other parts of the video where you guys don't wear PPE, I hope you at least put on some sunscreen on that tattoo when welding. It'll fade faster!
Hi guys, Another great build and video, well done. Now here's what I've been giving you as a challenge on many of your other videos as a suggestion for one heck of a bad ass Viking battle axe that no other can rival it. The Thor axe *"JARNBJORN"* built out of heat treated and tempered "Titanium". Why Titanium you ask, because it's the only material that can do this axe justice. Plus it would make an incredible collector's piece, a one of a kind with no rival. The most bad ass axe ever produced. What say you, up for the challenge? P.S I guess you could make it out of 5160 but in doing so, you take away exclusivity of a Titanium version because you'll have hundreds of copycats making them because it's much easier to use 5160 than Titanium. A titanium version vs any other steel would make it a one of a kind as I don't think they'll be many copycats willing to put in the work of a Titanium versions. Yes I know that Titanium is very expensive and incredibly had to work with, hence why it would be so bad ass and one of a kind that you could easily ask whatever you want for it, since there's none out there to compare it with. *"HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE DUE TO EXCLUSIVITY"* are the key words!!
Hello, Ilya & Matt, hope you well. Can u make an Epic plough with some dragons ingraved. I am thinking SS316 or Damascus steel or both. Regards from Stefan.
Shadiversity sent me, I didn't realize you lost your channel....that sucks. I know that's super late news, but I'm glad to see your doing mostly aight.
So I've been curious of a certain sword for a while now. In the book series the Riyria Revelations, one of the main characters, Hadrian Blackwater, carries a "Knight's Spadone" and I have looked for example pictures of said sword for a while, but no one depicts it like a Spanish spadona and from the description in the books and such, it resembles a large, two handed sword, very well balanced and compares to Aragorn's Anduril... has to carry it across his back its so large. Most pictures though, show its like a bastard sword... which, since Hadrian also carries a Bastard sword... would be a bit redundant. Any chance you guys could create Hadrian's Spadone. would be cool to see it come to life?
Thanks for watching this forge build! Check out our available products on www.ThatWorks.Shop . Also comment below what builds you want to see us make next!
Bell Cranels dagger from Danmachi. also stay safe boys.
Roronoa zoro's three katana from one piece would be great
tbh, id like to see a traditional finnish lapland knife called leuku made...

This video is good, but the bloopers are the best..
Y’all seem to be having too much fun
Can't wait to see what you create with that new forge.
So.... are you guys EVER gonna finish the Falchion for Skallagrim or what?
John Salo hey , details about that were in any of the last 3 or 4 videos, they did finish it and Skallagrim has it 👍🏼
Could you guys make a double bellow or box bellow?
Really liked it ^^
hm, maybe a video about a blacksmith shop layout; historically & how your experience influence the layout you have right now?
Isn't it fantastic that the less OSHA approved a blacksmith shop gets, the more productive and well equipped it is.
it would be nice to see how the bellow is made.
ruclips.net/video/9DItfz-6NmU/видео.html, this guy is such a beast in woodworking as those guys are in metalwork
agreed
In today's episode we see the rare "Mud Dauber" Ilya preparing its nest.
This video is more "watch us build a Japanese Forge" than it is a "How to make".
Watch us build has a lot of how to.
A japanese style forge deserves to be used first in making a tanto blade, from start to finish, with the straw and rice paper, and clay and the folding technique, that would be awesome to watch.
Check out man at arms hattori hanźo build.
@@simongallant5174 I've already seen it, but Matt editing on ilias work would be awesome.
I really liked the part where the cold steel rod was forged to glow red, really cool!
16:37 what the hell kind of accent is Iliya trying to do?! Lol, it sounds like a mix of some Scandinavian accent mixed with something from around the Boston area mixed with something from Alabama... with hints of British flair.
A traditional Japanese forge? The first project has to be a traditional Japanese sword made by a traditional Japanese sword maker from far Asia.
Or making a nice frying pan.
I think that I just was annoying enough so you could see this project)
I was asking him about how to make this bellows,forge e.t.c))
I would love to se you guys do a Ringwraith's sword from Lord of the Rings. You've inspired me to get back to work on my Japanese-esk forge.
Music a bit to loud over a voice at same time
Agreed. Please balance the volume a little more?
I just got a stabalized burl from you guys and man oh man it's perfectly stabalized. Absolutely perfect! Thank you
I know i'm gonna attract hate for this (tries to hide) but the music in your videos is always so loud. Is there any chance you would consider turning the music down in your future vids? 😕 I know its not just you, everyone does it.

Scott Ilya asked me not to film the making of the bellows because it wouldn’t work if I did ... he is a strange one. Sorry to disappoint you
How thick are the metal sheets of the exhaust hood? Like 2mm / 0.08"?
Björn 14g
@@ThatWorks Ahh thank you, didn't know that it is a measurement system, thought wtf 14g = 14 grams ?? But it means 14 gauges = 0.064" = 1.628 mm, lol.
st georges sword from kingdom come deliverance(kinda historical, overall gorgeous)
Next time on "This Old Forge"....
Just trolling with that hot cut hardy in the anvil eh.
I am in need of some road rage tools!
Looks nice, with clay shrinking 20-30% when fired I don't see it holding the fire bricks afterwards. Would you guys please show your forge after a few good heats?
What kind of blocks did you use? You should make an anchor.
Any tips for lightning the forge the traditional way ? At 300° my steel breaks and fly in the workshop...SSHTTOING-GLING
I finally found the chanell where Matt and Ilya are doing new stuff. Damn it's been a while...
Lets get a more in depth look at the bellows's construction.
Looks efficient.
I like how he went from Russian accent to Australian accent to a Caucasian accent then back to normal 😆
I like that too
awesome vid guys, one question, when ilya hammerd that piece of metal why did it explode in spsrkd??
Welding heat+water on the anvil
It makes a great noise also
Thank you, enjoyed the creation video. Had not seen a forge like this built from scratch. Be safe guys.
Love the videos but please get shrouds on those angle grinders... worst injuries I’ve ever had to perform first aid on were from shattered grinding wheels...
Anyone know the name of the song that starts at 9:40 or so? The dubstep one?
Need to make Mugans katana from Samurai Champloo
you need to make a grill for it so you can cook dinner at the end of a hard days work.
The new forge is awesome, but Ilya's stache is better.
The simplicity and effectivity of the japanese bellows really got me convinced - I'm going to build one for my forge as well!
You seem like a massive tool, but you know how to handle your tools. Respect the craftsmanship. Big up
More war hammers would be cool

Illiya having glasses. Does he protect the lenses from getting melted sparks from grinding? If so can he share?
Probably has some real glass lenses, and you can get glass lenses z87 rated.
A Japanese polearm the sword one or Axe Style polearm
I still want you to make сабля Тамерлана make it your 2nd historic build
Cool, from now on light all fires only by hammering cold steel...
Awesome work and congrats guys!! My buddy and I really liked the War Hammer build, maybe you guys can do a Bardiche, Billhook, or a Halberd
You guys look like you're having fun. That's awesome, keep it up! Thanks guys.
I learned a lot about building a charcoal forge being that I would like to build one myself I still maybe a long ways off on doing it but it was nice to see roughly the best way of doing so from a great group of blacksmiths. Stay safe guy's!
Are the valves of the Japanese bellows built with leather sealings or just wood on wood?
I didn't know about that way of lighting a new forge - very cool! Thanks!
Bloopers is the BEST
Cool stuff as always,! I will love another vlog about history around blacksmithing and forged artifacts . Have fun with your new forge guys ^^
Hey, my forge hood is built and suspended the exact same way!
if i had more room id build one , this design is great i like the way you hung the hood with the leaves, nice touch. and the way you made the tuyere. i just started making my first sword never had the patience till now.
i am so exited to watch you guys get to do this your way.
I would love to see yall make some mokume gane, and make a knife out of it.
That was a fine looking mighty axe, Ilya.
This is a great video! Cinematography is well done and I’m very interested in the forge construction of the side draft style forge.
Can you point me in the direction of where / what high heat pottery clay you used or can use and what bricks you are using? I'm aware that concrete will explode but I'm trying to source some larger fire bricks and clay and can only find "high heat cement" here in the eastern united states. Ps great video, great new coal forge.
Really great setup, the traditional ways aren’t traditional just for nostalgia, they work
I'm over here struggling in motivating myself to finish the coal forge idea I had and these guys got a thousands of dollar power hammer and bad ass gas forge but want to somehow go back to the ancient times and make a Japanese forge? I don't get it at all
When you accomplish getting the badass tools everyone wants you to primitive?
A dream for a blacksmith like me, a real japanese coal forge 😊 in the futur i make it too 🔥
All that effort and the charcoal is not correct . The height of the COI guchi is not correct .
Traditional tachi from the Kamakura period or the sengoku jidai please or tensa zangetsu from bleach the animes returning and you guys need to make ichigos bankai and kenpachi zaraki zanpato as well please
1:59 Putting aside the other parts of the video where you guys don't wear PPE, I hope you at least put on some sunscreen on that tattoo when welding. It'll fade faster!
Video prescription says" ...to how the box bellows work.". Where the hell was that part?
Didn't say how u constructed the bellows though...!!!!
Ilya has to work on that southern accent.
It's from Southern Russia.
I didn’t expect you to not show how to make the bellows, it’s what I was here for. Am sad
Did you change locations?? Why build a new forge??
Did you guys dismantle the old open charcoal forge you guys had?
Yall should change the leaves on the hood into cobras or dragons!!🐍🐍🐲🐲
I must say, I really like Ilya's hammer.. it's a tool, obviously, but so pretty
What kind of brick did you use? It looks similar to ceramic kiln bricka.
here's jhonny xD
It had to be done.
Holy shit just realized Ilya was in Forged in fire
Why is not the” king of the hill” theme song while y’all are putting the hood up ? 😅
Ngl, cool and everything but not much on how to put it together or what materials where used
You used the leftover metal from the build to make a few blades didn’t you?
Sure glad Illya's a blacksmith and not a mason 😜
Maramusa sword and give it a bloodthirst curse.
What type of brick is used for the walls?
Ilya we wish, we could watch you make a Katana on this channel
a replica of the Honjō Masamune
Whoa, cutting without a guard is bad news.
Have you guys ever made Conan's sword?
what is the brand of charcoal that you use?
Great video!!!
Always measure from the center.
10:15 did he just flick the hot steel?????

Does a charcoal forge allow for good temperature control? It seems like with experience the bellows might allow decent control.
А кто плёл байдану? Случайно не Илья?
