Blacksmithing - Spatula with bottle opener handle
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- A spatula with bottle opener handle is a classic blacksmithing project for beginning and intermediate smiths alike. Here is my take on this simple forging project.
My name is John Switzer, thank you for watching. Black Bear Forge is a small one person shop located in the Southern Colorado Mountains

I'm so glad this channel hasn't changed for views. It has all kinds of forging, and very little if any knife making videos. I always know I'm going to learn something completely new or different. Even with hook of the week. It shows how different processes can be incorporated into the same end goal with a completely different result.
very nice. the cool frosty hydrator attachment was a good idea.
Yes the video was very enjoyable to watch you’re absolutely a joy to watch Blacksmithing
Thanks for sharing with us John, I was given a spatula and fork from a club member years ago in Colorado, it was the first attempt he made. I am still very proud of that set and it brings back so many memories. It’s funny that this friends first name was John.
This is another thing to add to my list.
Great project, Another project to add to my list.
I want to make my dad and my father-in-law a BBQ utensil set for Father's Day (someday when I get my forge back up and running). Will have to incorporate the integral liberation liberator.
Good Morning John
Its always a pleasure to see how you do things in a way everyone
Can reproduce it in his Shop
Nice pice of work and a good Inspiration for a Gift 🎅😏
Greetings from Germany and a little village near the Harz
mountains
Good bless you
Yours Frank
Morning, John
Good teacher Sir, That small cone is what I need for me, If you don't make a video of how to build a cone anvil I will try myself Sir.
This project might be more popular with more folks to build
Thanks John Switzer for teaching
I do have some material that would make a good anvil cone. It will be a power hammer project for sure.
Good Morning , John
Great Gift idea ! It has been over a year now that I found your Channel ! You have taught me an awful lot over this time ! My Blacksmith Journal has grown quite a bit , I enjoy each and every Video you do ! I have learned so much ! You have become my Mentor and I will never be able to Thank you for everything you do !
Take Care and Be Safe
Keep Hammering !
Glad you're enjoying it
Neat ! A multi tool ! Well done my friend !
As I work more at the anvil, which I’ve only been at it for a few weeks, I see that I have some of the same issues that you do with the fiddley bits. I thought it was just beginner frustrations but it is just things we have to learn to deal with. Thank you for your excellent instruction
Sometimes the difference between being happy with the outcome vs being unhappy is just due to a few minutes of fiddling and adjusting.
And some patience, and more patience!
This is actually the first time I've seen a spatula with a bottle opener and it's a really good idea. As always great video John. I look forward to the next.
Another great video as always sir but a lil too late. Already making the bbq set Xmas gift and tongs/spatula done.
BUT the fork will have a bottle opener end now! Thank you!
Burgers up great job bro
Back to the scrap bucket we go! 😁 I used a slightly rusted 5/16" round fence post on a spatula. The slight pitting of the rust gave a nice textured finish once it was cleaned, blackened in the forge, and finished.
Thank you from portugal for the amazing teaching videos
Excellent video as always...love your music choices...lifts BBF coffee cup.
Definitely a bottle opener with a twist. Loved it. Man you've so many ideas up your sleeve lol
🙏be blessed now sirSir

Nice one. Never seen that combination before. Perfect for the cook that likes to have a beer (or two) while cooking or when the recepie calls for beer. Bottle openers always gets lost, while spatulas rarely ever goes missing. Got me thinking about other multi purpose/combination tools and items. How about an all-in-one fireplace shovel and broom? The broom on one end and the shovel on the other end of the handle. The perfect gift for someone you don´t like (or just for fun) 😁
I often use the broom to sweep ashes into the shovel, so it might be an awkward combination.
Exactly! :-)
Cool spatula. Nice gift idea👍 your heart makes my day or my evening its evening here.
Nice spatula John, it reminds me of a colonial spatula but with some added features.
I am going to have to do this. Many thanks for showing us how.
This is one I will be making for sure. Thanks John.
I'll post mine on Facebook this weekend
Cool stuff John. Thank you
Nice job. Good project
Thank you John another good one. Actually I'm not sure of a video you have made that i didnt like. Thanks again
Awesome thank you John
Great video 👍
Thanks John. Always enjoy my time learning from you!
Nice spatula! Interesting shape👍
Great fun job John thanks for sharing
Just the ticket :-) perfect for the weekend BBQ. Nicely done
Dont get me wrong, love what you do, dont stop that, just asking, thx.
I really enjoy the great instruction. Thanks for getting out to your shop and making something!!
if you could make a bear bottle opener (an actual bear that opens with its teeth) that might be a good seller and a cool item because of the 'black bear forge'
Love the video John, morning
Good deal. Take care and God bless!
I love the show taught me heaps cheers.
Thanks John!
Don't forget to file a nice long bevel on the bottom edge of the spatchula so it slides under your food easier in the pans or on the grill! I is a reall bummer when you try turning food and it pushes up or rolls into a pile on you! Lol
like this one John we'll be making one for my sons bbq.
Good Job thank be you John
AKA RED BARN FORGE. Good morning John, Once again you prove you can make something from nothing , job well done. John i have watched just about all of your videos and i have noticed that from your earlier videos to this one that your HOT CUT has got about two and a half inches shorter . Maybe there is a new tool video in the future.
Actually the short one is the newer one because the tall one was just to tall
Great project! Is there something you could do to the blade part of the spatula,finish wise? Looked like you put the bees wax on it and it was still kinda rusty. May have been my phone. Other than that I loved it and will have to give it a go! Keep on ⚒️ing my friend!!
That light surface rust seals in with the bees wax and just leaves a nice brown color. SOme people pay extra for that type of finish.
@@BlackBearForge I did not know that! Learn something new every day! Never seen it done like that before! Keep up the awesome videos and teaching us new and interesting avenues of blacksmithing! Keep on ⚒️ing my friend!! You was the first blacksmith I subbed to!!
You always use the Christmas bell brush this time of year. M
You can make just about anything into a bottle opener
And you should
Good day, Sir John. Good looking spatula. How about a spatula tong combo grill tool?
On the handle end, the obligatory bottle opener, of course, but on the end of the other handle, some sort of clip to hold a match or lighting stick?
hey John.. Why not make old weapons' spear and arrowheads, maybe a small buckler.. every one else does swords and knives maybe you could do other little things.. Just a thought.. Well, time for flapjacks' and eggs!! Video well done John.. carry on be safe and have fun son!!!
A norther great project. How wide is your anvil?
Can we do some bigger projects?
I am wondering at some point if we can build/forge a vise or a pair of your heavy duty shears you have
While there will be larger projects such as gates or railings, I don't see trying to make a vise.
как всегда лайк! и сразу вопрос: чем в конце намазал? (если возможно то ссылку, а то гугл переводчик не всегда адекватен )) ) like always! and immediately the question: what in the end put it on? (if possible the exile, and the Google the interpreter not always adequate )) )
@@PowerForgeWorkshop фенькю вери мач! (Тhank you!)
Could you make an old time lantern?
I plan to do several old styles of lighting, but I'm not sure is any of them are properly called a lantern
@@BlackBearForge thanks for the reply. I was just thinking a simple structure that I could put a candle in and cast some light while it is shielded from wind. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods!
make another but put some serrations on one side of the spatula so the cook can cut off and taste that steak he he lol steal a bite ; ))
Interesting idea
No Touchmark ?
Just because I don't show it, doesn't mean it isn't there.
First
Almost!
