Blacksmith Style Forged Hinge 

I like when folks give me reasonable suggestions. In this craft of ours, we can all continually learn... Thanks for your support.

I will certainly do more videos which combine two or more pieces. I appreciate your kind words and support. Thanks.

Brian, Yes, this hinge needs slightly larger screw holes to accommodate more suitable screws. As always, very glad you continue to watch... Thanks.

Neil, And the way I go about my blacksmithing, this style might be never before and never again! I think this is more suited to being a hasp and will probably alter it. Thanks my friend.

As always, it's my pleasure...Thanks.

Christopher, it started to get a bit iffy but in the end, worked out OK. Thanks.

James, I can see how this can be taken in other, more decorative directions. Thanks.

Lou, Oftentimes in my blacksmithing I do before thinking too much. Sometimes this works out, sometimes not... Thanks.

George, I know for sure my wife will disagree with you calling me the "Bob Ross" of blacksmithing. I'm way too loud and obnoxious and he was the king of calm. If you really want to blacken a piece, get it to a very dull cherry heat and drop it in a bucket of old motor oil (obviously be careful for a flareup and have a good cover handy). My spray method is maybe a first and should be a last - not too smart on my part. Thanks.

I think that would be a great use of this style of hinge. Good luck in your hinge making, etc. Thanks.

Rick, As said before, it's very much my pleasure. Knowing that folks like yourself appreciate whatever videos I post makes it all worthwhile. Thanks.

Dave, I roughly calculate my usage for each tank and can usually predict when the last day is and plan my work accordingly. But the outside temperature does affect this. In hot weather, I get more uses.Thanks.

Johan, I really appreciate your support. Thanks.

Jack, Yeah, it had me nervous too! At the end of the day, if a piece doesn't work out I just call it abstract art... Thanks.

Thanks for watching Larry. Glad you like it. Glen

I appreciate you watching and commenting. Good luck in your work. Glen

Glen GS Tongs thank you keep up the good wotk

Yes, this hinge should outlast me too! Thanks.

thats the sound of the forge, his mic makes it sound like that.

Thanks James, got it.

As James and Len have pointed out, my new camera (phone) always translates background noise in this way. You calling it a "gurgling" noise is spot on. It's annoying the heck out of me and I'm getting close to changing cameras. This hinge is for me... Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback mate, hope your new camera fixes and alleviates that noise for you, and enjoy your hinge mate.

I mostly make tongs, hammers and other various tools. And as far as what is under my anvils., I'm actually planning to make a newer video regarding this soon. Thanks for watching. Happy Holidays.
