Forged iron skillet - blacksmithing

- Forging a skillet or frying pan from sheet iron is a fun blacksmithing project. I am using a piece of 12 ga. 8" round, 14 ga material would be a bit easier to forge.

Am I the only one that doesn't see the need for sped up video sections on blacksmithong videos. I could literally watch a 3hr video on smithing a skillet. Especially with John doing the smithing. Always a pleasure to watch. John is the reason I have begun trying my hand at blacksmithing. Got a RR track anvil and just bought my first 2.5lb Kanca cross-peen hammer. I was using a framing hammer before. Still need a rounding hammer and some real tongs.
Based on the actual watch time and performance showing a big drop off for longer videos I am afraid you are one of the few. Glad you're enjoying the videos though
I love how he knows what he's doing, and I'm just over here with my pit and a piece of rebar
"If you take your time, you'll get there before you know it". A bit of wisdom I struggled with. 😀
Plan Build Use I think anyone who uses there hands in one form or another struggles with patience. 👍✌️
My dad always used o tell me, "The hurrier I are the behinder I get"
Another great video. I don't notice much difference in the sound. But John, you are adding to my project list faster than my wife is to her Honey-do list.
I feel like the Rogue Go was better at isolating his voice from the forge noise. But the other mic sounded a bit fuller.
You never fail to impress me. The quality of your work, your easygoing manner and natural presentation and the time, effort and expense you’ve gone to with your equipment. You are instrumental in getting me into blacksmithing and I’m very grateful for that.
new mic sounds great!
I got a friend in the welding gas business. He is gonna get me a old tank. They just sell em as scrap when they put them out of service. Thanks for what you do sir. Im learning much from you.
I really like the new lens.. very crisp and clear.. I want one. After trying out the cable mic I am thinking about creating a “wire channel” in my apron. This way when I put on the apron, the mic is attached allready, and I just plug it in and cords are pre-corralled.
I think the big difference is in the aperture. This lens is a 1.8 at its widest while the other lens is 3.5 and as a zoom it gets smaller if zoomed in. As a result the other lens tends to increase the ISO a bit to much
I have been watching your videos for quite some time now and being as I am in Australia I really do appreciate you converting measurements to metric for me :)
Thanks, I try to remember, but it does slip my mind from time to time
The wireless mike is no loss at all. Great skillet. Toast and coffee, freezing cold early in the morning and learned how to make a skillet, Now aint that what life is all about.
Now I’m learning about video production and blacksmithing. Lol I absorb this channel daily. Quality content through and through.
What a pleasure to watch someone with real hand skills and an affinity with metals, who makes it all look so easy, so enjoyable and so natural.
Your video making, your communication skills and your ability to inspire are all up there as well. Thank you.
absolutely love how this came up!!!
John , From a Flat plate steel, To An Great Skillet ! Ready to cook dinner ! With some clean and seasoning ! The Wonders of Being a Blacksmith !
Be Safe and Keep Hammering !
Thank you for your Inspiration !
Cute lil skillet John. Thanks
Thanks
Really makes you understand why casting is such a important art for modern living.
I always enjoy your videos. Well thought out and clear explanations.
This is my favourite project yet. I would use the hell out of that little skillet!
Every one of these videos are a joy to watch. Thank you, gentle Black Bear!
Love the skillet! 🐾🔥⚒
That was one of the videos I've seen! Thank you for all of your hard work!
That was a kool skillet
Nicely done video. Will try to make one myself. Thanks for the inspiration!
Iike your pan very much.thanks for sharing it with all of us that like your skill.
The new camera is bright crisp and clear. Very nice. The sound is excellent as well
That’s an amazing skillet. Thank you!
It is a joy to watch a true craftsman. Thank you
Amazing work. I am very grateful that you express the dimensions as well in the metric system.
What's not to like? Excellent presentation of your skills John Switzer.
Great hammer work. Flat disc to a pan amazing.
Your videos are awesome and your knowledge and explanations are so thorough! Love it man!
Really enjoying watching your videos. Interesting projects, explained clearly and at a good pace. Thank you for taking the time. Bjorn
I found your channel these lately. I can not stop watching them. Many compliments from Czech Republic
Going through my "resource" pile I found same disc only in 7 inch, another project to add to the bucket list besides the hook of the week projects! The way you showcase the items at the end of the videos is a nice touch! Your video skills have greatly improved for sure!
I think definetly the GO. Wireless and good sound. Perfekt. Nice video as always!
Great video. Nice work. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome. Looks like a fun project.
A matching spatula would be neat. The handle end could have a double curly cue which could double as a wisk. Just a thought.
Love it, I'll have to make one for my camping cook set.
I know that it’s been a couple of years, but the new one sounds great!
Love the new setup
Thumbs up for the new mic, and as always a wonderfully instructional video.
You are my favorite instructional blacksmith on RUclips. Thank you for the work you put in
Looks good and both sound good.
G'Day mate. I have been having trouble forging rings. After seeing the way you do it, I think I know now what I have not been doing. Cheers' mate. Keep up the great videos.
I was just watching Jymm Hoffman demo at this year's BAM conference last week. Really did an excellent job, including making a small skillet. I learned a lot watching him.
I loved learning and watching, thank you! I have little interest in taking this up as a hobby and I probably will never forge, but the education and wisdom you share to us is very welcoming and kind, again thank you for this video, take care! ♥
Oooo that looked fun
Mics sound good. I so enjoy your teaching.
I'm not going to lie. The first time I thought about Blacksmithing, i wanted to make swords and armor and all that.
Then the next time I thought about what I could actually use myself ... I thought about making a frying pan.
I am not lying ... I am going to try this. difficult part is going to be finding the material to work with... ass end of nowhere... hard to find this kind of stuff. I don't trust my grinder cutting abilities LOL
Yeah but wouldnt it be dope to swing around a sword in your house like an idiot for an hour, only to break a lamp on accident after swinging in a circle?
Honestly aside from building up your skill in smithing, actually SOURCING the steel is the hardest thing for me.
Make a rapier when or if you have the skill
This video looks like a winner. 11K views in one day! I've seen you use the Oxy tank bottom before but I'm now looking for one to salvage. You make it look so easy :)
Great video.Your easy style and relaxed instructions make it a real privilege to watch.
Thank you.
beautiful work
Thanks John, loving your video's.
Like the new mike better,sounds clearer to me. That's one of the nicest forged frying pans I've seen great job and thanks for some new ideas
Thanks
@@BlackBearForge , hi John. I watched this video a while back, and I was wondering how much harder would it be to forge a pan out of stainless? Do you know anyone that's done it?
I really enjoy your videos, the years of experience that you share are a valuable resource. Keep up the good work sir.
Thanks, will do!
Another great video with a lot of good content. I am a beginner and have watched many of your videos and have learned a lot. I just watched this video and learned more. Thank you. Phil in Australia
Glad to help!
I love watching your videos and it’s a bonus that you look like my pops
excellent work
New lens on the into looks brilliant :)
I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.
Cant realy tell to much difference between mics to my lil worn out old ears
So thats a neat pan. I like it
Blessed days 4 you sir,
Crawford out 🧙♂️
Great video, content and production.
New lens looks great. Love the Sony handycam. That's the camera I take backpacking.
"Action Cam"
Well Done with great learning!
Dang good idea that oxygen tank.. who doesn't love the look of hand hammered rivets? you make it look so simple.. thanks John..
Loved this video.
I've seen some of your videos so far and I'm absolutely loving the fact that you're doing everything by hand, without a power hammer.
It's the way I've learned from a dear friend and neither of us own one, so traditional stuff like this is pure enjoyment for me.
Glad you enjoy it! But if you stick around, you will find a fair amount done under the power hammer. Should be a good mix
Awesome John!!!
Very nice 👍 work thanks for sharing , Right now I'm in the mountainside resort that's close to granby ,co with my wife and daughter and granddaughter blessings to you and your family 👍😊🙏 watching you work
Nice job. Looks like a good saute pan.
Nice one looks good.
Awesome great video. I love the curved spike on the back bench
Me when viewing other people's work: Handmade looks so beautiful!
Me when viewing my own work: These handmade flaws are hideous!
The power hammer is awesome, but I always enjoy your hammer & anvil videos SO much more... 😁👍
Great video as always. I learn something from every one.
You are great! This is one video that I just dearly loved. I thought the straight handle looked great until you put a little shape in it and then I fell in love with that skillet.
Curves do that to me too billy19461
A wealth of information, thanks !
The new microphone is sounding just fine 👍👍😊
Good job! I feel like I've seen disks like that at my steel yard. I may give that a try.
Love the skillet. I want to make one but with no handle for cooking in a campfire. The handle of mine should be separate but be able to latch onto the skillet with a slotted end just to pick it up.
When I was visiting Golden Colorado, I went to a historic location there near Cold Creek, they had a blacksmith shop, but no working blacksmith. I wished at that time that I could move there and take the job, but it was a job with no pay.
Love the show!
Awesome as always. Thank you so much!
Really enjoy your channel and your craftsmanship. The rogue go has a preferable sound quality to my ear.
I keep thinking Dr Phil is playing in the background for ⅛ of a second then remember I'm watching forge work.
The new mic is definitely at least as good as the old one. I empathize - had to switch to wireless headphones after killing two pairs in two days by catching the wire on things.
Both sound good to my ears
Just found this video from the old world - May of 2019 - Whoa... I can barely remember what it was like then.
New mic is great, and new camera is very crisp. Great video all around!
This is my first video with you. I must say it's the most enjoyable smithing video I've seen in quite some time. I miss being able to do the work myself and need to fix that. But in the meantime, such videos are fun to watch, and it gives me a chance to learn more about forging and maybe a tool that will make it easier to work on a project again.
Welcome to the channel, I am glad you enjoyed the video
wow that's really cool
Nice. Been learning metal castinng but it has lead into me trying to do some minor Blacksnmithing. Need a set of Tongs for my crucible so I pulled some steel flats from a chain link fence, cut a hole in the bottom of my first meelter and heated them, did a great twist on each but got stopped there as I've no means to drill or weld. Just started a mower blade bowie-using my poor man's anvil to flatten it-old tree stump- so this type of video is a wealth of knowledge. :)
That's are really nice little skillet 😊👍👍
Thanks
Nice job John, lovely one person camp skillet I like it :-) I didn't notice any great difference in the mics, both sounded good to me
Most excellent!
The Rode wireless go sounds wonderful!
Cool you mentioned Jymm Hoffman. Got an email from him yesterday. My new anvil is in and will ship in a few days. Perfect timing since my birthday is Tuesday. I can hardly wait.
Congratulations
Awesome! I'm pretty sure this is the coolest project I've ever watched on Tubelandia. I use a pan every day, so making a pan or two is definitely in my future. I may have to make a set for my daughter for when she goes out into the world on her own, (which I wish will never happen, but its inevitable), along with some cutlery and flatware. I have about 5 years to get it done! I move quite slow, so planning ahead is compulsory. I will be starting a chefs knife this week for her birthday tho. I have about 6 weeks to get it finished along with some other knife projects. Anyhow, I love this channel, so much good stuff:)
I like how you provide both inches and millimeters when you measure something.
Awesome. The new camera setup looks pro :)
