    Geez, the abilities of those people. The time invested in the pieces of art. The trial and error to create what was once just an idea. Just magnificent.

    As a totally novice blacksmith, I have the privilege of having my forge just a few miles from Hereford (England) where I saw some of these amazing pieces displayed recently. I may still be at the stage of just making simple coat hooks, but what inspiration. Not just the mastery of the physical craft but also the boldness of imagination and creativity displayed in so many diverse forms. Breathtaking.

    • @josiahtheblacksmith467
      @josiahtheblacksmith467 2 года назад

      I thought I was learning and gaining more skill as a smith, then I saw these inspiring and humbling pieces. I'm not much more than a novice myself, but no matter how much we learn in this craft there is always more to learn and do.

  • @joshuapreusser2265
    @joshuapreusser2265 2 года назад +38

    It almost puts into perspective how different people can look at the same exact thing (a simple block of metal in this case) and have so many different perspectives on what it is & what it can become. ....it's both inspiring and humbling at the same time.

  • @marcsenteney3160
    @marcsenteney3160 2 года назад +17

    I had the privilege to assist setting up this display for the CBA Spring Conference a few months back. And the amazement I had seeing the creativity these people have was just inspiring!

    10,000 likes! This genuinely made me tear up. Such mastery! I've not paid the price for mastery like that in any craft, but I bow to it; I adore it. God bless them, for He surely is glorified by their offerings!

    @paulehlers2225 2 года назад +6

    I've been working with metal all my life in one way or another. I'm absolutely flabbergasted by these magnificent creations out of such a small piece of material. I'm in AWE!! Thanks for bringing these wonderful works of art to our attention!!!

  • @ericmodeen4164
    @ericmodeen4164 2 года назад +5

    It is simply amazing that so many different ideas came out of that single block of steel, proof that we need to be teaching this in schools, our societies would greatly benefit

  • @colinrobson9765
    @colinrobson9765 2 года назад +10

    I can't quite believe that those pieces of art are forged from that small bar, some look as if they have twice as much metal, amazing

    Scott, so nice to visit with you at the conference. I think I may have been the one to send you over to view the challenge.
    My mind is still blown by the challenge, I was fortunate enough to purchase the accompanying book. I took several trips thru it and saw different things every time.

    • @JeffKnoxAZ
      @JeffKnoxAZ 2 года назад

  • @stamrly418
    @stamrly418 2 года назад +1

    I dont have enough shelve or display space to put a fraction of the wonders you showed on display. Display the must be….Words can not do these pieces anything like justice. The art is one thing, the craftsmanship to make it another and then the limitations of that small square of steel. Just mind blowing even on a computer screen. Walking round the room must have sent the hairs on the back of your neck twitching… it did me and I’m 1000’s of miles away.

    This is astounding !
    Makes me so happy to see this level of craftsmanship and creativity.
    In my world (woodworking) the current thing seems to be carving spoons, signalling green (& identity politics) virtue and saving the world etc. etc.
    I find that shallow and pretentious and it makes me despondent - there is so much more to woodworking ... so much potential !

  • @toddellner5283

  • @bearbarre6435
    @bearbarre6435 2 года назад

    WOW!!! Looking at those things and knowing the level of talent that it took and knowing how few will ever achieve that level... it really humbles a guy. Luckily, I rarely get out to heat-n-beat metal anymore or I would want to take all my blacksmithing stuff out to the scrap bin and dump it in. It does give me something to aspire to on the days I'm able to get out and putter around, but I'm afraid I don't have the imagination to see such wondrous and beautiful things in a small, plain bar, let alone have the skill and talent to bring them out.

    @xoxo2008oxox 2 года назад

    Just amazing work there. Thank you for showing and sharing it! And now, a constructive criticism: learn about audio, the levels and db in recording. Mic individuals. Pad the music down. Nothing more frustrating than watching a video, turning the audio up to hear, then having music blast out. And don't take it as negative. There are many YTube creators that could use a lesson in softer audio music, and better audio. Plenty of courses to learn on it and perfect it. Just like EC!
