I’m a living history reenactor and our group cook. I have been doing these two dishes ever since I acquired this cookbook. Thank you for making a video, a little confusing with the recipe, now you have made things understandable.
Troll crosses are a great exercise in the fundamentals. Challenging and it'll teach you symmetry, bending, scrolling, and tapering all in one project. I think they are excellent projects for beginners to practice with.
I have been at it for a few days forging troll crosses, they are indeed much more complex to make than they look. Tonight i forged 2 small hooks to help with the crossing of the cross, ended up just using one and a hook jig and that helped alot. Great video btw :)
I tried to make an oroboros, thinking, okay.. easy project to do... Yeah, a bit more difficult than anticipated. Very cool project, thank you for sharing this one.
You made that look pretty easy. Haven't made one yet but can see how it can be difficult. Hearts too are difficult for much the same reasons and I have forged my share of them. Good video, thanks for sharing your work.
Gets some basic drawing, tapering and scrolling principals honed. The first troll cross i forged came out perfectly. After that, i had trouble for a while. Just went to show me that i needed to remember to keep my basic principles in check.
I learned the hard way that they are more complex then they appear, I haven’t tried to make one in a long time but I think I’m ready for another attempt
The word Forge comes from the name Thor ( for - ge ). Thor = Jupiter (sacred number 4) Also the words, For, Fork, Fort, Form, Forgery, Forth, Four, Fought, Thorn, Thorpe, Thought, Think, Thank, Thursday and Thunder.
Thor was a blacksmith too. Thor's hammer makes "thunder" and "lightning", the sound and sparks of a hammer hitting an anvil. The "mith" in blacksmith has same origin as "Mithra" and "Myth". Mi/My = Mercury (Wise god). Th = Thor (creator god). So, the "mith" means, wise creator. Thor = Jupiter (sacred metal, TIN), his son Módi = Mars (sacred metal, IRON)
Great little project, I like the way you are filming this, there is just enough long distance to see how you are holding yourself and gnerally the close up view works really well, occasionally you wander out of shot a little and of course we can't see the horn for this project but I like it. A little bit of assymetry is in my opinion desirable because it makes the project more unique...doing a hundred stars all the same is the realm of industry, having a basket of hearts the same size but all very slightly different to go through on a stand at a seminar say ...is a talking point and keeps people looking and searching for the one they like the most. Well filmed and very well demonstrated. Thanksyou for sharing
I agree wholeheartedly this factory crap has got to end nobody can do anything for themselves anymore when you can make your own nails to build your own house with the lumber you had saw yourself is a whole nother kind of accomplishment
I've done a lot of your projects I appreciate it I hadn't done any videos on them because I didn't know if it would be stepping on your toes would it be all right if I did some videos
I really love this design. Definitely seems like a easy project that a beginner like me can do. What size stock did you use though? Looks like maybe 3/8 or 1/2 inch round stock?
I'm glad I found your channel with so many forging examples. I'm struggling to set up my business in my workshop, but you seem to be doing great, plus you manage to film everything so well and speak on camera. Respect!
I have made a couple of them and they are a fun little project, I drill a 5-6mm hole, 18mm from the front and during forging the eye shape is made and that was even without me thinking about it
