I know this video is several years old but, I just saw it. This was an excellent presentation, John. You explained each step clearly and methodically. As a retired math teacher, I know the value of this approach and not simply assuming the students or viewers could fill in the blanks. S-hooks are an excellent beginners project, they are simple and yet, I've found several ways to screw them up. And if I absolutely destroy a piece, the loss is negligable. I have been tempted to create a jig to make each piece identical, but where' s the fun, and the learning in that. I'm loving all your videos!
Another quality video from Black Bear Forge. I really love how I can take notes along with the videos. This man is awesome and truly a hero to back yard blacksmiths everywhere. Thank you for being our master blacksmith.
I finally started keeping a notebook, thank you John
Great video!
Thank you for the video and explanations. Much appreciated.....
Very useful instructional video. I just made 4 S-Hooks, they turned out great. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Thanks for this.
Thank you
Great video, saw your channel on Wood By Wright newsletter. Subscribed.
I just mentioned this video in the weekly inspiration email from my website, and it will be in this week podcast. hope you get a few views out of it.
Thank you. Anything helps spread the word
Good video 😊
im new to your channel absolutely love it very well explained for us newbys ive asked others before but no one seems to want to do it a 3d pigs head fire poker ive been asked to make one but to no avail as yet i cant seem to get it right cheers from australia
A pigs head? I am pretty sure I have never seen that done. I would have to think on it a bit.
Guilty of not being good at this Sir,
I seen the lesson before by several teaching but I just want to get other products made such as tongs and making chisels for my building of my forge.
Today I need 4 S hooks for my use, so I will cut 6 rods 6"and 2 rods 10" so I can make 4 as shown to hold back in the 4 building stages as you taught Sir, and 2 longer , and 2 matches.
I do try to improve, now have made a set of tongs for 1/8 rod , I can do it better and safer.
Sir a great learning lesson today that I need to polish up, Thanks you Sir
Practice, practice, practice. You'll get there.
John: work the far edge so your hammer isn't hitting the anvil
Me: *still hits the anvil
Your boots look like my favourite hiking boots... are they Keen Targhees?
They are keens, but I'm not sure which model. Plus they have been retired and replace with a different pair of Keens since this video
Great basics overview. Good advice. May I offer any advice to you about recording your voice over?
sure
I figure you're helping me, least I can do is offer some advice back... Seems like you'd be recording on that phone device you have there. But the recording has a low quality "telephone" sound. I'm guessing, but you may be recording in "space saving" mode. Look for terms like CD quality, 44.1KHz, or "best" when you're recording for video. It'll bring out the S's and T's and help your voice stand above the roar of the forge. I hope it helps!
@blackbearforge i wonder how that kind of tong is called, still looking for a proper one to hold 1/4 round or squarestock, mime just will not give a really stromg grip
It may also help folks to learn how to use their tong hand efficiently,seems nobody shows that...thank you
is that bag pipes or a fiddle i hear in the background? oh and i love the vids they have really helped me in my smithing
Probably a fiddle on the CD player
Did you make the tongs in this video?
I think those are covered in this video. ruclips.net/video/KYjnd9-uDbU/видео.htmlsi=sXlUWkgnqNBkqDlM
Where do you get your bar stock?
I buy from a local supplier. They sell just about any size mild steel in 20 foot bars. Any larger city will have a supplier, if not ask the local welding shops where they buy their materials from.
Is the 3/8 round stock
Probably 1/4"
at 3:55 i recommend to mute your device because he is filing
