Just when i think I've watched every video, i find s new one i missed! There should be something said also about your ability to rotate the tongs and keep s tight grip on the workpiece. That skill is outstanding John.
Beautiful work as always, John. I don't know how many times I've watched this video but I keep coming back to it. I think the cinematography in the past few seconds is a big part of it. Haha
Very simple and elegant design . It turned out very well there John. Really like how it turned out. Very nice video this week. Can't wait to see more videos. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend John. Forge on. Keep making. God bless.
The precise hammering strokes in this video, hard , medium and very light. The mark of a true craftsman. I'm trying to develop my skills to a decent level, I'll try to aim for a level of competence that doesn't disgrace this example. I don't think I'll ever even attempt the woodworking skill, fortunately I know a guy who can replicate that for me if I make him a few lathing blades to a decent level. Failing that I can bribe him with good quality ground coffee in large bags as he is a fiend for the bean! ;-)
While one could use a scoop like that for ground coffee, it would be a waste of such a beauty to use it for anything but whole beans. Hope you have a good roaster in your community.
Really love this video. The camera angle shows your hand work/dexterity when turning the tongs to shape from square >> hex >> round. Great work and a very useful item with a fun build
There's just something comforting watching a coffee Latel making video while drinking a cup. Nice shot, quite Skill-full. Skull fill. Shrunkin of course.
Thank you for making these videos. Very informative and I love to watch them and then try to use what you have shown. And for this video, I agree with Janet - the longer handle looks better. Beautiful work!
Again Nice simple efficient useful. Thank Ps:' if you don't mind I'll use this video and channel as a eyes and mind opener to my grand children's and any want to know person
Your videos are so damn wholesome!!! The closing lines are heartwarming and it makes me want to watch more and more Your work is fascinating and educational You’ve encouraged me to finally follow through with the metal working projects I have started and make a forge to try my hand at some of these projects You are a living legend, mate!!! Love your work
Those shopsmiths are so handy! I really hate that I let mine go. It wasn't two days after she left the shop that I found a bunch of pictures on pinterest about how guy's had modified theirs. I never thought to use mine to build a 2x72 belt grinder, for example, and have been kicking myself ever since!
Excellent work, as always. For a minute, I thought you were going to bend the bowl portion back on itself and forge weld it into a solid billet you could then spread out. Coffee scoops are one of those things I keep meaning to try, but never seem to remember. I like how yours look and maybe this'll be the motivation I need to give it a whirl myself!
Lived in Iowa 19 years and did see the"Northern Lights" and getting them on film would have been great. I'm also thinking ice cream scoop as your coffee scoop is looking so practical for either,Sir well done and great illustrated as also one of your many skills. Bet you can teach them people at Skill Set a few many tricks. Thanks for the teaching Sir. Listen to Janet,Sir
I also was thinking ice cream scoop. So many out in the stores are crap. Ive broke too many to count. Maybe my freezer is too cold but isnt a freezer suppose to be?
Hello John One more time a wonderfull Video Very teachfull and all in one . Blachsmithing and woodworking I like it very much . Thank you for your work I wish you both a wonderfull New week and a happy adventseason. Yours Frank Galetzka PS may your bruse under your Fingernail dont hurt much and heal very fast
John, as always, thanks for the video. As I learn more about smithing, the more I realize how many different styles and approaches there are. If you haven't seen Rigoni Iron Works take on a coffee scoop, you owe it to yourself to take a few minutes and watch. Almost 100% power hammer, with fabulous, thoughtful tooling and dies. Very "modern" results.
These look great. I had a thought while watching this. I learned how to smith in college. We learned various alternatives to using a swage block. Because quite frankly most people can't afford them. Especially starting out. Kinda hard to find at times too unless you order from something like Centaur Forge. So how about a video showing alternatives to using a swage block. Or how to make tools that could be used in place of a swage block. Stuff like wooden blocks, pieces of pipe, large balls from bearings, or anything else I might not know about.
Happy Thanksgiving sir, am hoping you’ll consider putting the ribbon burner on your future to do list. I know you have a lot of irons...just kidding,I know you have a lot going on. Just thought I’d put it out there...Thanks for all the great videos
Looks amazing, John! And a far sight more attractive and durable than a commercial version. Would you consider making a set of forged measuring scoops?
I'm also thinking ice cream scoop. Recently, I took another black smithing class, and to be honest, it was just awful. Even worse, it was unsafe. And I came home not having acquired any new skills. Then I found your channel! I'm going through your old videos and learning something new every day. My goal is to eventually work my way up to making gates. If I manage that, I'll post a picture to you.
@@BlackBearForge A number of years ago, I found a RUclips video of a BBC show, if I remember right, was called, "What do you want to be". Of course, I watched the blacksmith episode. The first episode the teaching smith gave the challenge to make ten usable forged nails in a set amount of time. At the end of the course, the challenge was to meet with clients who wanted gates, discuss their needs and come up with a design and deliver a product. The end product seemed a bit sparse to me. Didn't compare with anything you would see in New Orleans, but it certainly lit a fire. I am trying to break it down into bites. I need to make a gate hanger. I need to learn to make scrolls. Rivet bars together, leaves and roses. I'm just trying to master the bites.
What about having a heated anvil for stuff that cool fast? A peace for the hardy hole that can be heated in the forge.. - just an idea I got seeing this..
The scoop turned out absolutely beautiful! The hand forged look makes it stand out much better than any store-bought one. BTW, just curious...I usually put tape around a handle hole when using epoxy, or any glue for that matter, to keep the squeeze-out off the wood. I noticed you didn't. Did you wipe it off quickly with a solvent when setting the handle? You had put the final finish on the handle and I hope the epoxy didn't mar it.

Blacksmithing and woodworking in the same video…..I must be in heaven.
Just when i think I've watched every video, i find s new one i missed!

Beautiful work as always, John. I don't know how many times I've watched this video but I keep coming back to it. I think the cinematography in the past few seconds is a big part of it. Haha
The ball bearing trick was so cool!
That tiny handle is so cute though!!!
I love the smaller projects like this. Really helps me grow going at a replication. Good stuff 🍻
That would make a pretty good ice-cream scoop!
Great project. Never saw your wood shop before.
Very simple and elegant design . It turned out very well there John. Really like how it turned out. Very nice video this week. Can't wait to see more videos. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend John. Forge on. Keep making. God bless.
Thanks 👍
@@BlackBearForge your very welcome.
Really thinking about getting into metal work. My dad was a metal worker for 13yrs.
Oooo I see a complete set of measuring spoons and a rack to display them on.....
Nice work on both the Handle and the scoop
Thanks 👍
Love these smaller projects! Really helps me out when I'm in a creative rut just seeing what other smiths are doing.
Been subbed a few years now. I’m no blacksmith but I enjoy watching you an I learned a lot from you. Your a true master at what you do. Thank you sir
Looks real good! I think I agree with Janet
Scoops look teeeerific!!!!!
Good to see you in the wood shop for one of your projects i think people dont think of the Blacksmith as a wood worker as well.
Nice project John, enjoyed watching.
Glad you enjoyed it
Love that shorter wood handle. I find it very aesthetic. Been hammering mine out of copper.

John, I watch a lot of smithing videos…nobody teaches me more than you do. Cheers
Thanks, Brother... these are the kind of cool little tutorials I love about your shop.
While one could use a scoop like that for ground coffee, it would be a waste of such a beauty to use it for anything but whole beans. Hope you have a good roaster in your community.
Very cool! I want to try something like that.
SELLING POINT for the smaller size ones...*espresso scoop*. 👍😉
Thats a sweet anvil
Those turned out great.
Make great ice cream scoop too
Отличная работа. Надо сделать такую же ложку, только для молотого кофе...
Really love this video. The camera angle shows your hand work/dexterity when turning the tongs to shape from square >> hex >> round. Great work and a very useful item with a fun build

Thank you for making these videos. Very informative and I love to watch them and then try to use what you have shown. And for this video, I agree with Janet - the longer handle looks better. Beautiful work!
Nice display shot at the end.
Inspiring!
Thanks, we messed around with that most of an afternoon
Your shop is the definition of cool!!
Love projects like this. Gets my head thinking about stuff to make when I start forging. 🔨🔨🔨
Again Nice simple efficient useful. Thank
Ps:' if you don't mind I'll use this video and channel as a eyes and mind opener to my grand children's and any want to know person
Nice! A one tablespoon scoop is also useful. It's what I use every morning to make coffee. Thanks John!
Nicely done 👍👍👍Thanks for sharing
A grate project John , The spoon will be a good challenge . Cheers. :)
Your videos are so damn wholesome!!!
The closing lines are heartwarming and it makes me want to watch more and more
Your work is fascinating and educational
You’ve encouraged me to finally follow through with the metal working projects I have started and make a forge to try my hand at some of these projects
You are a living legend, mate!!! Love your work
Hi buddy awesome job you make it knowledgeable
Love the coffee scoop. You have a nice set of wood planes and saws.
Very cool project!
Nice scoop.
Outstanding video,you are a
First rate Blacksmith, making
Look so easy 👏👍
Thanks 👍
Thanks John, nice little project!
Great project for smiths like me, that don't have power tools. Hope to see more like this.
Always love watching you work John. You are a true professional sir!
Great video! Nice scoop!
I always learn something watching your videos, thank you!
Glad to hear it!
Another nice design. I enjoy the fact that you use what you have on hand. Thank you for all you do. 👏
My pleasure 😊
How gorgeous! Love the simplicity and style of the scoop. @John Jude, I don't think the scoop would be strong enough for Ice Cream, maybe.
Thanks for the video John, i never would have thought about making a coffee scoop. Nice work!
Beautiful work done
Would be good for more then just coffee.
Coffee!
Nice. Thanks
Great project sir
Very nice. Love your work
I’d love to get one of those if you put them on your Etsy shop. Great video as always!
Hopefully I will get a few on there later in the week
Nice old lathe! I have a first gen Shopsmith that I use as a lathe and it has a very similar look.
I picked this up at a high school auction that was updating their shop equipment
Those shopsmiths are so handy! I really hate that I let mine go. It wasn't two days after she left the shop that I found a bunch of pictures on pinterest about how guy's had modified theirs. I never thought to use mine to build a 2x72 belt grinder, for example, and have been kicking myself ever since!
Very cool little scoop John!!
Very nice and inspiring!
Very nice. Good ideas.

Coffee scoops are one of those things I keep meaning to try, but never seem to remember. I like how yours look and maybe this'll be the motivation I need to give it a whirl myself!
That is an option, but thinning this much can often result in shearing the weld
Lived in Iowa 19 years and did see the"Northern Lights" and getting them on film would have been great.
I'm also thinking ice cream scoop as your coffee scoop is looking so practical for either,Sir well done and great illustrated as also one of your many skills.
Bet you can teach them people at Skill Set a few many tricks.
Thanks for the teaching Sir.
Listen to Janet,Sir
Was this written by Janet?? LOL!
Great little project, hope eventually I can purchase one from your Etsy store.
I hope to get back to the rest this week. Too many irons in the fire as they say
Super cool project! :)
Very nice work
Very nice!!
John, you have a good eye for designing. Excellent video!
Thank you very much!
Your a mad man with that heavy hammer. I’m 5 minutes I would have to take a break
The smaller ones would make a decent tea scoop
Beautiful 😊
Amazing job, thank you for your lessons
The first scoop looks like a nice soup spoon
Good morning John, really enjoyed watching you make the coffee scoop. Thanks for sharing with us. Have a good Thanksgiving Day. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻✋🏻✋🏻
Good morning!
Beautiful!
Gorgeous work
Those are nice 👍 might get your third cup out if it just making the scoop thinner, looks like enough material there.🤔
I also was thinking ice cream scoop. So many out in the stores are crap. Ive broke too many to count. Maybe my freezer is too cold but isnt a freezer suppose to be?
Great job. That’s.

Nicely done! Keep it up! New subscriber here!
What about having a heated anvil for stuff that cool fast? A peace for the hardy hole that can be heated in the forge..
- just an idea I got seeing this..
Really nice project. Could you mount the ball bearing in a fly press and press the bowl section in one heat?
Probably not in one heat, but if you're making a large batch it would help
Great vid :)
👍👍👍👍
Handy scoop. Do you have circular dies for the bowl stem? If not, that's a video right there. 😃
I’ve forgotten how well wood and metal compliment each other on this kind of project. By the way, did you make the wooden cup in the after shots?
No, that came from a wood carver in the Pacific North West
The scoop turned out absolutely beautiful! The hand forged look makes it stand out much better than any store-bought one.
BTW, just curious...I usually put tape around a handle hole when using epoxy, or any glue for that matter, to keep the squeeze-out off the wood. I noticed you didn't. Did you wipe it off quickly with a solvent when setting the handle? You had put the final finish on the handle and I hope the epoxy didn't mar it.
The oil finish makes the fresh epoxy easy to wipe off. But you have to get it all right away or it will start to bond.
I wouldn’t even put a wood handle on it
@@BlackBearForge OK, thanks for the clarification. Beautiful handle.
