What I enjoy about your videos is the education I get from them. You cover everything from costs and marketing to the how to and what with. Thank you, John. We're getting a 5 digit education for the cost of watching and listening to a maker make/craftsman craft.
Now I need to build a tool chest just so I can make the hinges. Fishing can wait.
Another Sunday treat. Enjoy your day John.
Thanks, you too!
Awesome work John. I want to say thank you for spending you time making these videos. I started blacksmithing a bit over 3 years ago and your videos have been there to help guide me and show me the way the entire time. I'm looking forward to more of your work and videos in the future. I hope you are doing well.
watching you work is a joy
Thanks for sharing with us John, those hinges turned out great, even got some spare parts out of the deal and an extra set to sell too. You did great Thanks so much. Fred.
Good to see a new video, John. Beautiful work as usual.
Those are great hinges, John. Now I wish I had a need for them.

Wow! You make it look easy. Nice job as usual!!!
Very nice, you make it look easy
You’re just too good at this!
Nobody caught just how smooth John's hammer control is, he switched from the fuller to the hammer face in the middle of swings!!!
Why do you have to go and say something like that, now the mood will fade when the bad guy enters and says that we didn't say anything because it is not an uncommon thing.
The man deserves a lot of praise for a lot of things but I don't know what you're playing at.
I suggest next time you keep us ("nobody caught") out of it and own up to your own emotions with something like "*I am impressed* by your hammer control"
@stefflus08 why are you acting so emotional over a simple comment? There’s nothing in Ryan’s comment looking for an argument nor insinuating anything about you or others.
I kinda caught it. I happened to catch it as I was looking back after glancing at my bowl of oatmeal. So I didn't really know exactly what he did, just that he did something different.
@@mandolinman2006 I had the same kind of event! Without the oatmeal, I was watching him work the metal, spreading it out perfectly, and then my brain kicked in and noticed the switch. Just a quick flick of the wrist and it happened in an instant.
I've seen other videos with smiths switching faces, but none so smoothly as John does!
I'm gonna go practice.
Kind of odd I can't find a regular comment slot. I have to click comment on somebody else's comment.
But anyway, it's really nice to see a simple video like this. It's been awhile. I think one of your first RUclips videos was also making hinges. That's how long I've been a subscriber.
Think you made it originally to advertise your product and you had a professional crew do it.
But one of the things I'd like you to see sometime do with these is I love the pattern that is developed when you use the slit and drift. It makes those nice little swollen rounded points across the hinge and I think that's really beautiful.
John, would you mind, at some point, giving us a closeup shot of whatever mechanism you have affixed to your torch and that hangs off of your gas saver lever. That would be very much appreciated.
He has talked about it in one of his shop videos, sorry I can't remember which one or I'd link it for you.
thanks..iv made alot of hinges for people.. also, iv been thinking of getting rid of my coal forge, and going to strictly gas..
..Black Art Forge..
Nice work
This is a keeper video
11:02 Good lord, I didn’t know panthers broke into shops out there.
enjoyed, thank you.
John , I admired the anvil block you used to turn the hinge eye . Can you tell us more about it ?
Its one I made for doing hinge work. Its based on a scroll starter
Another entertaining video. I was hoping that you might make a how to video showing the second filing vise you used in this video. Looks like a spring fuller with flat stock. Thanks John
Very informative, thanks. Did you make the hardy tool you used to help with the eye?
Yes I did. However I have seen this same style tool used by several others. Its more likely meant for snub end scrolls.
Lovely build - and I never knew about those Dutch cabinet hinges. Can I ask how much time do you think the little guillotine saves you on a job like that? maybe a couple of heats? I'm trying to work out if it is worth the trouble to make one.
Mostly it makes the job more accurate, but over the years it saves lots of time as well.
👍
Snazzy little hardy swage you have there.
If you leave your file in contact with the metal on the back strike you actually clear the file shavings out of the teeth.
Excellent point
What is the name of the hardy tool you used to form the hinge knuckle?
I'm not sure if it has a name. I suspect this style was intended for snub end scrolls.
Джон, на 15:02 вы пользовались специальным краном для газовой горелки. Подскажите как он называется, что бы можно было его найти на Алиэкспресс.
That is a gas saver made by Smith
Спасибо, буду пробовать искать. Здоровья вам и вашей семье.
How do I get your hammer I would love to own one just like it
I have a question about cutting stock on 11:31.How would you do it in lets say 14th century ?Cut off tool or would you rather forge the fork on material and then fold each side individually? Or some other method?
Another great video! I am modifying the legs of a HF tool cart with drawer for my new induction forge. Is there a preferred height for the coil? Thanks
Just the height thats comfortable to work with
With files nowadays; it’s a crap shoot. Nicholson files “were” a standard to go by. “Made in America! was it. Now different configurations of Nicholson files come from whatever country they have contracts with: Brazil, Korea, India, Pakistan, Chile etc. They are absolute garbage‼️
👍✌️⚒️
that trick you used on the bandsaw to cut out that middle part of the opposite side of the hinge was pretty smart, I'm gonna have to use that haha
As usual, the "side" information presented which didn't directly relate to the hinges was wonderful. Thanks, as always.
Great tutorial 👌
0:50 the same can be said for upsetting/fullering material that is way wider than it is thick! One of the most frustrating projects i’ve done was making a hardie cutoff out of a leaf spring; making that thin wide stock into thicker square stock to fit the hardie hole was a *chore*.
A nice pair of hinges. You do good work. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Super set of hinges, the ability to repurpose and use mishaps as an advantage to something else is a particular favourite part of blacksmithing for me.
I am going to have to make a long tined brush like yours, I asked one time where you get yours but theyre just not available in the UK. I can get butchers brushes but they leave a different finish to the long thick bristles.
I really enjoy tehse making videos, its always a pleasure to watch how another smith makes his wares
thankyou for sharing John
Sir you are truly a master at your craft, thank you for sharing
Looks nice, Any word on your Facebook page that was stolen by Blacksmith Work?
We appreciate the video John, and that's a nice set of hinges!
Thanks you
I would like to know where you got or how you made that nice scrolling jig for your hardy tool! If you made it, show us (me)! Haha
Great work as usual! I saw the angle iron holding vise. You should do a video on it. It looks interesting.
Simple, yet elegant looks! I will try this out on my next day of forging for sure. Inspiring, John!
How awesome 👏👏
Hi there, I love you videos. Please forgive my ignorance but, I have noticed in a lot of your videos you do not clean the rust off of the steel before working it. Why is that? Thank you. Have a great day
The heating process creates rust because of the intense hot oxygen. Then the hammering takes most of it off. So unless you have a huge rust buildup to start with, it doesn’t make sense to clean off rust at the start. A little bit of oxidized metal is just part of the process, up until you’re done heating.
@@twestgard2 Oh okay. Thank you for taking thed time to anwser me. Have a good one
Cleaning light surface rust off doesn't do anything. That rust scales off in the forging process and isn't a problem
Such elegant, delicate & shapely hinges, sort of feminine in their look & so delightful on the eyes. Thank you for sharing!
@@BlackBearForge Thank you
John, First, I hope you had as good a time at the NWBA as I did watching your demonstration, making the candelabra.
Second, the tool you are using to form the hinge. Did you make that? Looks similar to your scroll starter. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed the demo. That is a tool I made for hinges, but I have seen similar tools that I suspect were for scroll ends
Is the little hardy swage you were specific for hinge making?
While I made it for hinges, the design is more likely for snub end scrolls.
👍 I've always enjoyed your videos. Thank you for continuing to share them.
My pleasure!
The Paul Sellers of blacksmithing.
Fantastic set! Hinges are something i need to tackle
Making that first bevel accurate helps line up everything else nicely and makes the whole eye easier ( don't tell its a secret😉)
