- You can make the most of the materials you have on hand to maximize your profits. I'll point out some tips and tricks that you can use to cut costs in your blacksmith shop.
This video is presented by Roy Adams of Christ Centered Ironworks. It is a video our playlist "The Business of Blacksmithing" found at:
• The Business of Blacks...
To be efficient in the shop, layout several projects of a similar type all at once. If you have left over materials, save them for other projects.
Some people take bits of metal and turn it into recycled metal art. Or recycling copper and steel is a way you can make back a little bit of your money. Find your local scrap yard and deliver your materials to their location.
I hope these money saving tips help you out in your blacksmithing business. Checkout my other videos for more blacksmith tips and tricks!

I really appreciate this series you are doing on making money in a blacksmithing business. Thank you. God bless.
+cheyennew811 we are very glad to hear that thank you for watching! God bless you today and all your endeavors :-)
i meltdown my smallest bits of copper and mix it with a bit of my aluminum scrap to make bronze pendants etc.
you could also make bigger bowls out of the top section to use all possible now is it possible to cut a hot water tank up to get the copper out of that i was told that the scrap value of a hot water cylinder was about $100 and how easy would it be to unroll
+grayem pepper sorry it took me a little bit to get back to this question:-) to answer your question about( is it possible to cut a hot water tank up and get the copper out of that?) I believe that water heaters are made up of Steel tanks at least all of the ones that I have ever replaced and installed new ones have all been Steel. That being said you can always find a large section of copper pipe cut it down the middle and unroll that to obtain copper. Hope this information helps. thank you for the great question and as always your comments! God bless and have a great weekend.
why are you using squares instead of honeycombs? easier to cut?
+Verdigris Sirgidrev I lay out the material in squares because I make multiple different shaped bowls in those different sizes. And when I rough out my layout of the material I'm not sure how many bowls I will sell of each different kind. Thank you for the great comment hopefully this answers your question God bless happy smithing!
Speaking of scrap piles, I would like to know of tips anyone has for organizing those off cuts of bar so that you can actually find them when you need a short piece. I have been throwing my scraps into a big bucket and it doesn't take long for it to become so disorganized that I have to empty it out on the ground to try to find what I need.
+John West I'm up the same creek without a paddle. Lol. I toss all my scraps in a bucket.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with this problem :)
Im new to black smithing but I always said about leather I was working with there's no such thing as scrap
