Here here, literally finished and fired up my brake drum this morning before work after watching these videos for a month
Very nice work, John! Back when I was still a member of NCABANA we would post a challenge to members to interpret and make their solution to a descriptive piece to be brought back to the next monthly meeting. Some fun ones that I remember are the largest five lay braid, overhand knot in square stock, and most patterns in a six foot long stick of ⅜" square stock. That last one was the most fun. Several forged to round and back, chisel work, knots, drop tongs leaves, mirror scrolling, chisel split basket with a marble. ... Got carried away. Sorry John Switzer. Sorry to other readers and subs also.

Nice to just have a quiet unassuming craftsman plainly explain what he is doing and showing his trade.
No loud music, no fuck wit games show host type yelling and whooping. Just a man with a talent showing how it's done!!
Thanks, nice job, subscribed!
It's pretty great that you point out the mistakes you made so that we can learn from them. It also helps to know that even an experienced smith still makes mistakes once in a while.
Its a genuine pleasure to watch a true craftsman. Nice Piece.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the video
The doctor Phil of forging.
Love it. Subbed.
There are three things i liked about this video.
1. You explain very well.
2. It's a pleasure to watch. Watch you work.
3. You have a very well organized forge.
Very good video.
Thanks.
Indeed, it's a pleasure watching an old timer doing a great job using the just right tools... it's like magic. :)
Add 4. No annoying music
Absolutely agreed! He is possessed of a phenomenal teaching talent and unparalleled forging experience!
@@parvez2103He does play a great banjo though.
This guy is the Bob Ross of metal forging! Now that's a huge compliment. Nice work.
I was just thinking that a little bit ago! I am new to his videos, but I was thinking this very thing and I could listen to him all day!
This content is better than a video game. We can build the world.
@21:52 WOW! Now THAT deserves clinker stardom for sure!
You got my subscription I like how you explain very clearly and no annoying music while you're working
SilvaTech _956
you captured all i wanted to say.
Same
I know right. What an amazing new concept. 😂
Very informative... another new subscription! I like the fact that your video showed just how the process went, problems and all. That shows what a new "blacksmith" can expect to experience as he or she learns from scratch. I have a friend who has made his forge from scratch, and has made several very nice knives. I'm passing your video on to him. I'm sure he will enjoy your work as well. Thank you (and the lack of over-powering music was much appreciated!). -Gary
+1 to the music! I like the real world sounds
A major element of my success in all of my careers is that "I never lied to anyone." It earned me respect, and obedience when lives were on the line. John, you obviously have mastered that skill. I fully enjoy watching you share smithing with folks who both aim for it and those who just appreciate the skill necessary to accomplish it. Much obliged.
Great teacher. Thanks for all your hard work and taking the time out of your day to teach❤❤❤
You are so welcome!
you're a very calming instructor to listen to who really goes through all the steps for easier beginner learning
Great video! I'm trying to get veterans together to learn blacksmithing...i find it helps me with my struggles with PTS, and hope it can bring relief to others. Your approach is calming and refreshing.
Ive been watching one of your videos everyday for a few months now sometimes going back to watch one again. I cant thank you enough for doing this. I now have the confidence and the skills to do this myself. I salute you sir, im still gathering tools and the like and working on a spot to smith. I consider you a mentor.
Glad you like them!
Great teacher. Love the calmness when things squirrel up repeatedly & how you optionalize various fix-its & re-dos.
Superb demeanor.
Thank you
thats good to watch a man who accepts mistakes thats a true man right there
i already watched this video, but YT asked me if i wanted to watch again and i couldn't resist! amazing work!
Thank you so much 😀
Great job! I actually really like the gap/split at the end of the loop, I think it looks neat.
Excellent video John, fantastic twist and a great forge welding lesson.
SO NICE TO SEE SOMETHING THAT'S NOT MADE IN CHINA. LOL. IT WARMS MY HEART TO SEE A TRADESMAN HARD AT WORK IN HIS PROFESSION AND ENJOY IT. IF YOU CAN MAKE AND CREATE THINGS WITH YOUR BRAIN AND HANDS, YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE WORK THAT PAYS. AS A WELDER I SAY PEACE AND BLESSINGS AND THANKS FOR SHARING.🇺🇸✌️👍
I don't 'forge', but thoroughly enjoyed the vid. Far better entertainment than the TV provides!
Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the video
You are a truly excellent teacher. Your examples are practical and complete, you explain important extra details without over explaining and loosing your audience. I've enjoyed everything I have seen you do.
Absolutely amazing. I just built my own coal forge out of a wheel, some expanded metal, and an electric leaf blower. Your videos have really helped me with the learning process.
Regards from the UK, enjoyed the lesson, keep posting please !!!
Thanks, will do!
I wiah i would have got into it when i was younger.. at 53 i probably dont have much time to build skills and do more yhen a hobby with it. Great video! 👍👍
John once again you have been inspiring with the creative work that you do. John i have watched dozens of your videos and have come away with learning more and more from each and every one . Not only your work is inspirational but you sir are an inspiration . Thank you for doing what you do .
I just had a “did he just do that?!” moment over the scarf welds. I love this guy. 👍👍👍👍👍
Definitely my favorite place to come and learn.
I've always been fascinated by blacksmithing. It's magic! All the ancient stories....
But, I'm 64 & in ill health. I don't think having a forge will ever be in my life.
My Dad could talk to machinery.... He understood machinery & was a heavy equipment mechanic before he became management, years later. I remember going to Elko Blacksmith Shop in the early '60s.
Fascinating.
Machines do NOT speak to me, threads do! I've been a handspinner & hand weaver for many years, until I was too weak to throw a shuttle.
It's just hand work of any kind interests me...
My wife is a weaver and does some spinning. Glad yu enjoyed the video
Good project & demo, John! 🐾🔥⚒
I like how no frills this is, no attempt to look overly cool or anything just plain simple smithing as it should be. Thanks for the great video.
This dude is good at blacksmithing.
New subscribers here.
Listening to you while you work is very fulfilling.
I like your videos because you don’t fill every second with chatter. You explain things clearly, then demonstrate how to get the desired result. It makes watching the video comfortable and easy to follow.
If only every You Tube video was as good as this one, serious skills made to look easy and demonstrated in a laid back way, the mark of a good craftsman.
THANK YOU....always fun watching a master on Saturday Nite. Sure beats a rental movie!
Fantastic video, really enjoyed the way you explained what you were doing and the way you talk makes me feel like family.
You got yourself a subscriber today :D
Fantastic! It takes me back to school in the 1958-62 years, if only I wasn’t forced out to work and not continue, harder times in those days. Many thanks, subscribed, you bet!
Love your work John! That is a really cool twist. See you next time and keep being awesome!
Good Sir......Thank you for this excellent informative video.....you taught me so much........
Thanks for showing the twist John. Really no end to what one can make. Just need to get into the shop after the move.
Work With Nature - How to Grow Food! Ur comment is a year old, have you gotten to the forge, how was the move, make anything awesome yet lol , make anything original?
The back wall of his shop makes me think of the Home Improvement set!
a new fan here sir. LOVE the way you teach, and YES...NO annoying overly loud music in background ! excellent explanations in a laid-back but not drawn out process....thanks for sharing. will be viewing other vids of yours as well. Like the Ol' Master ( who aint short fused and cranky!! ;) with a new apprentice !! much appreciated sir. thanks again!
Thanks
My grandfather was born in 1888, he was a blacksmith, I remember watching him when I was young, wish I could go back there.
7:57 my eyes have been opened, my mind blown, and the world has been shaken.
_tong clips_
_what ingenious magic is this?_
Great vid,I'm a greenhorn,but know enough!I've found an anvil to work for to own,will start my shop soon,your my new teacher now,so I'll be watching close...land o' lakes,wi.usa...thanks...😐
Thank you for the video. I like watching you work. And I get to learn something in the process.
Thanks once again for all the great advice. I tend to watch a few of your videos while my heater is warming my shop in the mornings LOL
Thank you, sir. Beautiful pattern, very educational, and a joy to watch. Subbed.
This is SUCH a great video presented by a talented, experienced, and warm craftsman. Thank you!
You make it look so easy your years of smithing show
just dicovered your video's within a couple of weeks, several I've already watched and I'm planning to go out forging on my field forge. These videa's are really good explained, also the faillures and how to handle
Had never seen that type of twist before. It is very impressive looking. Well done. Great forge weld of twist to handle by the way!
Yes you have, it's called a braid. People braid their hair all the time.
Hey, I really appreciate the tone of voice, the time to teach calmly, even from mistakes. thank you very much.
I'm a blacksmith myself and like watching your videos. As I don't have any forge by now, it's hard to describe to others how things work.
Watching your videos says more than a thousand words can. Thank you for sharing your art with us.
It’s a little chilly here today, but I’m going to brave it and get outside to try this. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Love this twist and the extra details of the project. I need to practice drop tong welding more to proficiency. Thanks for the emphasise on the importance of this skill
First video I've watched; Very interesting and relaxing. I'm glad that your video didn't show a "perfect" job, but that you allowed to show these small errors and mishaps that can occur. Thumbs up.
I really love your work and I really like the imperfection on the hook.
I really love when social media permit us to take a course with wonderfull craftsman that we will never meet . Forge welding look so easy when you do it. Thank you very much for all the tips you give us in this video
Ahh, refreshing video where there's no horrible music, just the sound of metal work and a good narrative explanation. You deserve more subs, will be sharing with any of my forging friends.
Exactly, no hooting and hollering no stupid youtube fake personality, just a normal guy sharing his passion.
Great video, youre very informative and teach well, thanks for inspiring me!
Well said!!
Sure looks like a braid, that extra finishing you did really brings it all together, thanks John.
Master at work - and a gentleman - thanks for passing on your skill and help & honesty
I appreciate that!
The doctor Phil of forging.
Love it. Subbed.
So I'm not the only one who noticed that lmfao
Sound like Phil, but looks like Walter Brimley.
@@roonarklay7740 Wilford Brumley most don't even know who he is lol
@@bigsexymuthashutyomouth2546 Wilford Brumley was one cool actor
...... and it's WILFORD BRIMLEY if you spell it correctly
I can't figure out why anyone would dislike this video, or any of them.. Awesome work! Thanks for the inspiration.
I guess some people just want to be entertained by fast action and wild antics more than they want to learn. I am glad you enjoyed the video.
I’ve never even considered getting into this kind of thing, but I could watch these videos all day.
Mighty fine watching you John. Great content.Superb knowledge shared here. Many thanks
Great Demo, thank you for taking the time to put these together!!
Subscribed because you used both measuring units :). Great video, too.
you dont use inches?
Lesson learned!! I definitely recognize this. I often have the same problems forge welding 4 pieces together and work them too long, they split 😭
beautiful work Dr Phil
John, that is beautiful. Thanks for another great lesson!!
Personally, the “split” around the hook looks nice! Great job!!!
Thanks for a good informative video, done the right way
I appreciate your humility, with accidentally dropping the braid. Also a great video, thank you for some more ideas I can move forward with..
Also how do you mute your anvil?
Its all explained in this video ruclips.net/video/Z3365vFHXhw/видео.html
That’s really cool John! Thanks for sharing!
Instant fan. Solid!
This was amazing im a welder and I grew up working with wood till I feel in love with steel things like this keep me wanting to learn more skills and keep building and creating things for years to come!!!
Great job, John! Love the good wisdom you pass on to us here, much appreciated.
You really do make great videos. Thank you for taking the time to create and publish this content.

god DAMN that was good. most satisfying thing i've seen in months.
You are a veritable mine of knowledge and skill my friend. It's a pleasure stumbling across your channel. SUBBED!
You're such a nice guy as well as a great blacksmith! Thanks a lot....
Thank you for you channel and all the wonderful informative and instructional videos you produce. Theirs so may good things that people are gonna need if the world would turn upside down. Thank you .Thank you.
I love watching this it’s true art work Sir!!
No explosion is true art
I have no interest at all in doing this myself (I'm a woodworker), but it's a fascinating and very old skill presented by an obvious master of the craft. A craftsman is a craftsman no matter what media they use.
Loved that! I always like walking away with something to try, no matter how small.
Thanks . I really enjoy watching your working . Very nice and understandable. Thanks again for sharing your experience. I appreciated.👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This is by far my favorite twist you have done! You make forge welding look so easy it gives me a little hope I might do it well one day. I also appreciate your comments about types of flux. I think I will try the iron mountain flux, it seems like you use much less with better results. Thanks for the video!
Love your channel. It’s like Forged in Fire meets This Old House. Cheers!
I really enjoyed your video, don't know much about what you do, I would of burned my hands, many a time, without gloves! Thanks for the very informative video!
Glad yu enjoyed it
Cool vid, very clear and informative. And Sir, besides your blacksmithing skills, you have the voice of an anchorman.
Wow, thanks!
I know you were concerned about the tip not welding completely, but the "crack" makes the piece interesting. It says this was hand made. And isn't that what you want? Customers don't pay extra for perfection. They want it to look handmade. (Truth is... Looking at the piece I would think that crack is supposed to be there as a design element. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.) But I do appreciate your instruction on how to fix this "error" if I wanted. 👍 Sending lots of love ❤ from sunny 🌅 Arizona 🌵
I agree. What little I saw of it, I thought the split really added to the over all look of it. It looks hand made which is what I like about this sort of thing.
it's like that one knot left untied in the persian rug....to avoid perfection.
Agreed. I liked it with that.
I thought so too, I actually enjoyed the split that opened there. It genuinely looks intentional and imo, a little artistic. It really fitted well with the wheat twist.
Love that type of twist John thanks for the demo! A ton of great skills was demonstrated here :-)
thanks
Hey guys, this is the best spot I could find at the moment to hit both of you (John and Roy) up, at the same time. I considered reaching out to each of you via Facebook messenger or email but thought I should get your approval first for that personal of contact. If email is better mine is Bderby5654@gmail.com
I'm working at learning blacksmithing with a focus on starting a business. I've been watching both of y'alls channels absorbing all the knowledge I can....however there's one issue I haven't come across yet and was hoping y'all could do some videos on this subject. How do y'all approach finishes for your work? I'm particularly interested in weather proof/ rust proof finishing for outdoor work. Both of y'all have done lots of videos on scroll work but what keeps them from rusting outdoors. This may seem like a very rookie question, but the fact is I'm very much a rookie trying to get started.
Ok so now I feel a little dumb....I re-worded my search and just found videos from both of you that may cover this subject....so I'm off to watch them now. I am still very interested in making contact with both of you though because I'm sure there will be more questions down the road.
Hopefully those videos will have the answers your looking for. I don't do much outdoor work, so most of my finishes are more indoor oriented.
@@brianderby145
Am no pro, just old school, but a rub with beeswax @ a black heat (250°f or so) lasts about 5 or 6 years in my experience.
' It's been a while..' Thank you for making my day Black Bear Forge
You've caused me to give thoughtful consideration to what I should put in my welding shop. Cheers Sir
"So let that be a lesson to ya!" Love it.
This is my kind of ASMR ☺️
Nice demo, love the shop.
Did anyone else see snake rattler? I have never forged anything, but when I do, I will take Johns advice and learn how to forge weld. Such an awesome art. Thanks John for another great video!
