- This is a video tour of a young Blacksmith's shop out in the woods of South East Texas. I'll not spoil his story but please watch the video all the way through. This guy is selling a Power Hammer and I went to see him. He makes all his own tools and much more.. Please watch!
That's awesome seeing a young fella pursue his passion. there is hope for the next generation after all.
👍
Smart boy knows what he wants to do n doing it. No $200,000 debt for college.Likes what he does too.
What a great kid…hard working everyone in the area needs to take a class and support our youth like him
I will do my best to spread the word...
Awesome!! I've been a Blacksmith for 30+ years including for the National Park Service as a restoration and recreation specialist. I was trained for making hardware of all kinds. I love seeing young people involved in the craft and making money as well. I hope he has a great future!!
I can not express just how happy I was to see that shop and meet that young man.. I am looking forward to learning from him!
Ol'boys got it going on ,reminds me of me when I was eighteen. Nice shop.
What an extraordinary young man.
He needs a RUclips channel, yesterday.
I will be helping him with that....:)
Can't wait to see you forging straight edges with your new power hammer. :-)
I think you have been sniffing the air around the distilleries too long :) Power hammers and straightedges shall never mix!
That’s a good one Brian!!!
Our country needs more of this.
It was so nice to see .... I'm a retired Paramedic.... I have seen so much evil, pain, suffering and just plain laziness that I am at a low point when it comes to believing in the future of our country... This young man was something I really needed...
Great content.
Nice young man.
Very smart and skilled youg man.
Glad you showed this video.
Thanks, EM.
Thank you... Meeting him was like breath of fresh air!
Awesome video, thanks Mr. Steve!!
Glad you liked it!
A feller in Nebraska City, Nebraska has the Little Giant Power Hammer Company.
Harlan "Sid" Sudemeyer. Has most parts you would ever need for a Little Giant.
Helps out with power hammer rebuilding classes!
Be careful, he used to pull mini rod pulling tractors, and he belted up a blown alcohol small block Chevy engine to one of his power hammers.
The safety nazzis had heart attacks!!
The same people that get all butt hurt about anvil shooting.
Guessing they wear a mask while traveling alone in their Prius.
Steve, I heard you say you had an anvil and a hammer and that was your limit. Most blacksmiths that have that say that’s a start!
Nice tour, nice young man! I’ll bet he goes far in a satisfying life! Keep up the encouragement!
I have a Body Hammer! Just like Musty1 :)
Looks like a Blacksmith course in my future!
The Pakistani truck channel comes to Texas! I can’t wait!
Get your arm built up, your going to need it!
@@Hoaxer51 Been swinging a hammer all my life😃
Restored my faith as well. Great video.
Yes! Thank you!
Very cool! Enjoyed watching .Thanks for the look.
Steve what a cool young man! I started welding in VO-AG in high school and did it for almost 30 years and loved every minute of it. Still do some for myself and the neighbors.
I miss school shop )
Thier still hope for the youth.
Wow Steve your right Mark is an amazing blacksmith. He is very good at it and has lots of cool tools.
I agree!
Thanks
Welcome
Pretty cool. I am the 4th generation to own my particular blacksmithing set-up. I haven't operated it in some time, after moving into a new shop. This might have whetted my appetite just enough to get off my ass and get set up again. Of course being in Georgia, its mostly a Winter sport. Thank you for sharing, Steve.
Your Welcome
Some where in the past there was an Old man that loved him ,and showed him a lot of blacksmithing tricks . Good job, thank you for taking us along, just found your site.. I subscribed and rang the bell ? See Ya Texas
Welcome.. I also think a lot of this is self taught :)
So refreshing....great young man Thanks to both of you !
Glad you enjoyed it
Mark Ling's a great smith, part of a group of young toolmakers/friends that call themselves the "chaingang"
Thanks for that INFO.. I have to go back in the next couple of days to pick up the little giant hammer, I'm going to film some of the items he has for sale also and I'll ask him about that...
@@10swatkins Nice! Yea, they're a bit notorious in the toolmaking world. Notorious in a good way, they're a great couple of guys
I really like Marks hat ROLL TIDE !!!!!!
You may want to ride your narrowest motorcycle on your next trip, road made for
Model T Fords
Was his dad his teacher or just what got such a young man involved in this type of work. I can't see it drawing many people in to learn a dying trade
I am going to see him again and will ask him... My wife had the same questions :)
The sv seeker vids introduced me to your channel this video got my sub.
Why thank you.. I do a little bit of everything around here. Hope it pleases you :)
Speaking of the Seeker
.. I am loading up the bus right now for a trip back to see it in the water on Saturday afternoon!
He's got more hammers than Tom Lipton! Kewl video :-) Who runs coke ovens nowadays?
I looked at his rack and was also impressed :)
Kids shop is a disaster. I have a 5 and 6 year old it reminds me of the living room on a Sunday.
How much should I pay for a used vintage powerhammer?
They are expensive... I think I paid about 4800 for one in good shape... Hard to find too.,
@@10swatkins i am willing to work my butt off to save and get one. I am starting out and want to do this right.
Does the hammer run on one-phase or three-phase power?
There is no motor on the machine now. IT has a motor mount down on the bottom but I am thinking of putting the motor up closer to the large pully. Little Giant has a kit to move the motor up there so you can use regular v belts instead of the leather belts. I am going to put a 1.5 single phase motor on it...
@@10swatkins Single phase. Thanks
A great shop, did you buy the power hammer?
Working on it :)
You might not want to know just yet. Might be another loafering fit coming on for you! Out of necessity!
Yes I am buying the hammer
@@10swatkins Don may be gone again when you get back.
Please post his info so I could buy hammer's from him.
So ....You are the one that did not watch the whole video! 15;30 He tells you how to contact him....
@@10swatkins my bad 😔 I will have to go back and watch it completely. I just spend more time in the shop and don't use this that often. Usually let the wife use it. We just have a cellphone no computer.
Please publish the contact info for this guy I might buy a hammer from him.
Thanks
HE give his information near the end of the video. I told everyone to watch the whole thing :)
Cheapskate you did not buy a hammer from the young fellow I hope he get's you if you go take the class
Cheep skate hell! I bought a 50 pound power hammer from the guy! :)
