Fantastic, I'm just starting out in this hobby. A nice project there, starting with making the tools. Thanks for making and sharing this video Daniel. Happy new year from the UK.
Very nice. We have a tree here in Virginia (USA) that is called a Dogwood. It has a very similar flower. You might look at Google Images to see it.Thanks- Frank
Great video Daniel as always! There is only one thing that really bothers me with this video is the sound of your anvil,maybe you should try to stick a magnet on to anvil or a piece of chain to minimize that ringing sound. Cheers mate!
+Milos Cucukovic It was really quite quiet, after I had screwed it down with a bitumen mat underneath it. But now it kinda losened up a bit again. It is still not as loud as if it just stood by itself. Maybe I'll put some magnets on it or try to get better surface area contact with the stump again. I am anyhow wearing good hearing protection, so when I forge it doesn't bother me really...
+Daniel Lea It is a smart thing to wear hearing protection.I have a smaller anvil mounted on a oak wood,it is a very hard surface and it helps with a rebound of a hammer.You could also record your voice over a video to prevent this from happening... I wish you all the best in 2016!
Hallo Daniel, was für Kohle benutzt du? Und wo kaufst du sie? Ich wohne nicht weit von dir entfernt in Darmstadt und suche noch nach einer guten Quelle für Kohle. Auch deine Drahtbürste finde ich sehr gut wo gibt es sowas? Beste Grüße Jonas
Hallo Jonas! Meine Kohle habe ich bisher von zwei unterschiedlichen Händlern bezogen. Von Darmstadt aus mit dem Auto leicht zu erreichen ist dieser Händler hier: www.brennstoffe-rheinhessen.de/Brennstoffe/Kohle---Briketts/ Dort gibt es die Heizprofi Schmiedekohle. Etwas hochwertigere Kohle gibt es bei PPS Stade. Die sind aber hoch im Norden, sodass wahrscheinlich ein Speditionstransport notwendig ist, der viel kosten kann: www.pps-stade.de/steinkohle/schmiedekohlekoks.html LG Daniel
I realise this comment was made 3 years ago, and it's an age old discussion, my reason or preference for horn to the right. When hammering a scroll on the horn I don't have to reach over the anvil hammer it 1/2 way around, flip it over and then hammer it back towards me, with it to the right I can just keep on hammering all the way around without leaning over the anvil... Also if you cut off stock and it's still hot you have to remove hardy before hammering, to the right I can leave hardy in move to the right of hardy and start forging, in case you haven't guessed by now I hammer right handed.

Yay! Glad to see another video.
I don't blacksmith but I could watch this all day!
+pjculbertson55 Maybe you should start to blacksmith then! ;)
That's a very attractive tool; nice video!
A good smith makes it look easy. Very well done!
Prost Daniel ! Zerh interesant. I guess as a Belgian, a bottle opener has to be my first true project when I'll have all the material to forge ^^.
Thanks, Mr. Lea. I asked about the tools on instagram and you made a video! I always keep an empty bottle with the cap on to test my openers.
Loved the video. Easy to follow for us new forgers. Thanx!

+sacrip tex Obrigado! :)
Excellent Daniel! good video!
Very nice video. It's nice to see you do videos again. Got anything in mind for the next video?
Thanks man! It means a lot coming from you! I think I'll give forging a gardening shovel a try. If it goes well a video shall follow! :)
great video!
Very nice work and video. Thanks
Very nice indeed, and a good ending.
+Finarfin I'm glad you actually watched it till the end! :)
+Daniel Lea Of course. It's not the first nice beer I've seen you crack open. :-) Keep going and all the best for the New Year.
Thanks man, to you too!

+Milos Cucukovic Yea Alec has done it in his previous videos and I also liked it on the MidwayUSA videos so I might give that a try!
great work man! i live in Germany too, what part do you live in?

I can use a piece of folded paper as a bottle opener :D
But cool forging nonetheless:)
Das great.
x'D
I think I forge it too.
was watching to see how long he caught his sleeve on fire....
18:04 thats what she said
Haha ouch :p
great video ! But you have your anvil on wrong side ;-)
+Leon boss Well that's a matter of discussion... ;-)
