Beautiful workshop. Love it!
Best videography of all the blacksmithing channels on youtube. Keep up the good work guys!
Can you do a video on your boots? Maybe even your whole outfit, would like to know the why behind it all, and where to get some boots like that
I`m jealous of the light in your shop. Dark is nice when hot working at times, but I`d say it`s a lot easier to dim daylight vs creating it... Looks like nice place to create cool things. Thanks for sharing!
As a homesteader and blacksmith, I strongly identify with the need to shoe off all the improvements and projects when anyone comes around 😂😅
A nice collection of tools, did you get them at sales/auctions?
Thanks! A variety of places. Auctions, friends, antique stores, and some I made.
a simple mezzanine / loft across the roof space adds a ton of space even if its just a couple of feet etc,
Where you been man? Hope you and the family are doing well! Hope to see more videos soon!
We are well! Just welcomed baby Frank- # 7 kid. My video producer is on hiatus- I hope we can get more up as well!
Wow man!!! Congratulations!! That is huge. I have three myself…. But 7!?! Wow! Haha good for you. Once you get past like 5 though I’m sure it’s all the same hahah. Just kidding glad to hear y’all are good and I’ll look forward to seeing your videos. Thanks bud!
I prefer my horn to the right as well.
Nice shop and skilled work you do Andrew. Tell us about the hand cranked blower and the fuel you use in the forge please? You seem to not need a mechanical blower with a gate valve like many others? I have a Buffalo Forge 300 hand cranked blower but in Australia we use a lot of charcoal made from our hardwoods.
I also forge with the horn on the right 👍
Why does your anvil horns point to your right and not left ? Always heard to position horn to smiths left hand…
While it is traditional for country blacksmiths and farriers to point the horn to the tong hand, it isn’t unheard of historically to have them the other way. I don’t make any horseshoes, and I find it much more convenient for many things to have the horn pointed towards my hammer hand. For one thing, I can leave tooling in the hardy hole and easily and safely work around it.
Full time help? I'd be interested, tell me more please.
You need at least 3 doppelgangers just to catch up not to mention keep up! 😆 Blessings my friend
Crawford out🙏🔥⚒️🧙🏼♂️
I just realized you are the first blacksmith that we have met who has the horn to the right side like Hayden and me.
Such a nice place and it's getting better! Hope to see your plans come true..
My logic is the same about anvil direction: The hardy hole is what makes the determination for many right-handers who want to leave hardy tools in place and still be able to safely work on the anvil face to the right. E.g. Anvil direction is more about the hardy hole than the horn. Keep up the good work.
I prefer my horn to the right as well, as a right hander. If you ever find yourself out Nebraska ways, let me know; id like to invite you out to see our historical blacksmith shop, opened in 1900 and operated until 1955. Still has most of its original tooling, (and its original brick forge that I feel would intrest you a great deal) and our local blacksmith association (that I was recently handed the reigns to) still uses the premises for our monthly hammer-ins.
Is there a website for this Blacksmith shop? Would like to see pictures.
@@ironcladranchandforge7292 there is not, but I did a silent tour video of it on my channel. Its the J. W. Peters blacksmith shop in steele city, Nebraska.
@@veteranironoutdoors8320 Thanks!! I'll check it out.
Great video! My main forging hammer is a three pound cross peen. It felt a little heavy at first, but now it feels just right. I can swing it all day and it moves metal of all sizes at a good rate.
The last 2 years I have spent working on the shop. I rebuilt the power hammer and sorted out welding equipment and made an outside forge with a pre WW1 blower that I just rebuilt. I am done for now snd about to start a trellis.
I'm also a horn-to-the-right guy. Nice to know there's at least one other out there. Great video!
..Nice shop and setup sir. Don't forget to reserve some space for sample and reminders of what not to do...
Nice work mate. Owning a shop of my own I know how important the set up is… and how much time it takes. One of these days I’ve got to get organised….
I have two anvils one set up for general forging the other is smaller set a bit higher for small tedious forging I wish my shop would be like yours mine is small dungeon like
flag ?
It’s the Tennessee state flag
Thanks for the tour. I love to see how you and other smiths arrange their tooling, and have seen a variety of layouts. I love your shop - it has a really nice vibe to it that I appreciate. I especially like seeing some of the forge work you’re working on. Beautiful stuff and I look forward to seeing the process. I am hoping to build a smithy on my property in the next year. I recently retired from an office career and have been forging for about three years, almost every day since retiring last summer. At any rate, I’ve come up with an overall size of 16’ x 18’ as a minimum for a basic layout. Do you have any thoughts on minimum dimensions for a basic shop?
Thank you! That’s exciting that you’re looking at building a shop. Size all depends on what you’re going to do in it, and what equipment you’re going to have. 12x12 is my absolute minimum for a hand tool shop, 12x16 is better. 16x18 is better, and if it were me I’d just round it up to 16x24. For a one man shop, that would give you plenty of room for all kinds of things.
