Damn, I've been wasting hours upsetting the head because it made sense at the time. Your snakes turned out great in probably a quarter of the time, and effort.
That is rad!

I like the forging stick, will be a part of my tooling from now on! I use a wooden mallet but the stick can do what a mallet cannot, never thought of that! You won a sub for that!
Thanks! I appreciate you watching!

great project!! you have an awesome channel!! saw you in the live 💕
Thanks you! Thanks for watching!
Dig it.. quick an easy 🇺🇸🤠

The fun part is thinking "How's he going to do that?" and then thinking "Of course, why didn't I think of that!"
I'm not very imaginative, but I can do most things once I see I t cone.
Im the same way, thanks for watching I appreciate it!
Was just wondering why not getting notifications. To my amazement i was unsub from your channel. Anyways sub again. Very cool looking cobra. Rebar was a very good choice.👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching, I really like the look that rebar gives them. It's probably because I had to start a new channel, I got hacked and lost everything that was on my other one, 2200 subs, 176000 views and 500000 watch minutes all gone. I am working with RUclips and Google trying to get it fixed.
What length of rebar?
I normally use 18 inch pieces. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!
@@Mysticmountainforge keep up the good work! I loved the feather, you mentioned in that vid that you would do some things differently, what exactly would you do
Thanks! I would have made it more pointed, I would have liked to have curved it a little as well, just things like that to make it a little more natural looking.
You said you sell them for 50 is that 25 a piece or 50 each
25 a piece, thanks for watching I appreciate it!
FYI, that flat bit on the snake is called a hood, not a cape. the confusion probably comes from the name 'Cape cobra', which probably gets its name from the Cape of Good Hope where it was first discovered - and Cape Town also happens to be my hometown, so the Cape cobra is well known to us here.

Thanks for filling me in, I appreciate it and I appreciate you watching.
@@Mysticmountainforge funnily enough, i made some snakes about 3 years ago and used almost exactly the same technique as you did (even used rebar), so watching you make them was a real joy for me. but a friend of mine went one better and put tiny ball bearings in the head for eyes.
