I have to admit, I googled that one, and pretty varied results came up all the way from forged magic wands to axes, and cane swords. Do you mean like a magicians wand?
I'm located in North Pole, Alaska. We had a pretty warm start to our winter this year. It was in the positive teens when I recorded this. It was -50 last week.
Not yet. I'm planning building one of Christ Centered Iron Works guillotine tool kits, but welding at -25F is no fun so thats probably going to wait until spring.
not sure what you mean by "real spoons." The spoons I make are as real as any other. As to your actual question, I will answer with another question. Why make anything at all? Because I can. Nearly everything I have have ever made in the forge I could have bought cheaper from a mass production factory, but that would be one of a million or more identical copies. Everything I make is unique, even when I make more than one there will be minor differences that give every piece its own personality.
Very Cool!
When I did my first spoon I carved a bowl shape into a log to work as a swage.
I've seen that method too! I'll have to try it out one of these days.
@@northernforgeblacksmith I'm cheap, but my workplace still uses it. Actually I made 2 and someone stole the better one
the spoon or the log?
Can you make a "war wand?"

Yeh, got everything I need except the snow! Just have to do it in the heat!
The snow is my automated tool cooler!
Where are yyou.? I'm on the Canadian prairies, and even indoors, the anvil sucks the heat out of the steel.

Don't know why you would forge a spoon when real spoons can be bought at Wal-mart for little to nothing.
