hello from the UK..... great to see your videos.....I am starting a collection of smithing tools....(I cant do smithing yet but will give it a go when I can make a forge...looking forward to seeing all your vids
I discovered some strange looking hammer when I as a family member looked around the farm my mother is from. There was a blacksmith there, and she remember the setup, with big double leather bellows and everything. Proper old school, smithing horse shoes and chunky nails, and so on. Imagine a 20" hammer, but it's made of 3/8" steel with just a metal wedge twined in as a head. The head is metal, but copper green. I wish I knew more about this tool.
Thanks for showing us the place I wanted to see if I wanted to stick with BlackSmith hobby and didn't build a trend hammer or anything bigger because of limited shed space and them tools does work. I'm 71 and started 5 years ago mainly wanted wood working tools and been loving BlackSmith and now my shop is setup for making the wood working tools that should serve well and still be cheep.as chisels of quality are expensive and I'm 71 don't want to buy anything and it just gets garage sale after I've passed. I'm thinking any tool I now build hopefully going to a craftsman who knows the fill of a great tool and steel. I'm rebuilding my ribbon burner giving me about 7 by 6.inches and 18.inch deep . I'm hopeful I'll add Tommy Hawk on my got it done list. Something I've failed because the Forge weld didn't look solid. Keep making videos. Thanks 👍
Im not as organised as well set up as you, I have more space but more space means more stuff that is not always a good thing! I should work on compacting my area so everything is only a few steps away!😅
Would love a more in depth video on your anvils! I watched your hummingbird video and it has helped me tremendously in building them!! Just a suggestion but have you ever thought of building some sort of flower??
I am trying to put together an anvil video.. moving them around is a trick :) i need to do a flower vide. I used to build alot.. they sell well. Amd its a great gift that lasts. Thank you.
Pieh tool company. They are a funny tool. But can really squish and punch. And no electricity or noise is nice. Get as big as one as ya can. Lots of tooling can be made for em. And can do lots of cold work stamping and bending.
Nice Simple
Good advice .
Looking to improve your skills
Simple LET'S GO

As somone new to blacksmithing it is really nice to see stuff like this and hear why you have things set up the way you do, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks for the shop tour and the insight into your background. All around talented guy!👍
Thank you
Always like a good shop tour! I would like to hear more about your treadle hammer; I also work alone and that's my next acquisition, I think.
It's a handy tool. Has many uses
Great shop set up & video on it! What is the brand & size of your power hammer? Looks like a great size to me!
Im not as organised as well set up as you, I have more space but more space means more stuff that is not always a good thing! I should work on compacting my area so everything is only a few steps away!😅
It's a never ending battle of moving heavy stuff.. :)
Hi buddy just wondering what area your shop is love our channel Mark
The area is 14ft ×14ft.. wall to wall. Pretty comfortable work area. Off camera is a big welding table and tools that I can roll in when I need them.
Would love a more in depth video on your anvils! I watched your hummingbird video and it has helped me tremendously in building them!! Just a suggestion but have you ever thought of building some sort of flower??

@@letsgo6500 Looking forward to it!! Thank you for the awesome content!!
I see you made a frog could you show how you made it thank you
Yeah I got a frog in the works. Should be a fun project
Where did you purchase your fly press? I've been looking at one that I think is identical to yours. Have you had any pros and cons on the press?
