Blacksmithing For Beginners - Forging Simple Collars 

Thanks! That really helps. I haven't done collars yet because I wasn't sure how to go about it. The length explanation is a big help as well.

Great explanation. Thanks.

Thanks for another great video. You explain things so clearly and logically - it makes an otherwise challenging task that much more accessible to those keen to learn! My craft is improved thanks to you.

Tank you. Great explanation on the length of material you need for collar

great technical video. thanks for sharing your research!!

I only speak Australian, would you please speak more slowly. Thank you

Great explanation, Mr. Dennis! I blacksmith as a hobby, and I was struggling to make one single collar yesterday! Your video, and the time you spent making it, will be very helpful! Thanks a lot! Greetings from Brazil!

Thanks very much. Answered an old doubt. Appreciated.

is it a good idea to leave your bick in the hardy hole wouldnt you take it out just incase you hit it with your hand or hammer by accident

Thanks for the section on stock length estimation! I'm making a door bolt and estimating the length of the bolt guides was making me scratch my head.

bonjour je voudrai dire que de toutes les vidéos que je regarde sur la forge les vôtres sont les plus explicites et même si je ne comprend pas l'Anglais elles sont tellement bien faites que l'on trouve son bonheur merci pour ce que vous faites et que vous partagez je suis abonné à vôtre chaine depuis la France

Thank you so much.. What a teacher..

Grea video, hope you're doing well

as a rule of thumb i always add the "inside" dimensions of de bended piece, you could also add the "outside" dimensions and subtract 2x the thickness, the total of this gives you about the good lenght to cut the piece, but indeed if you need a lot of them, first make some prototypes. Nice video, thank you

AHA!! Thank you so much for your time and knowledge!

I tried to make one of thes collars directly on the work no wonder i couldnt fit it .ill try it this way cheers

Thats some solid technical information. Thank you for sharing it, instead of hoarding it.

Thank you, thank you! Just what I needed!

Have you ever forged a collar to connect three round bars together? A sort of triangular shaped collar? Thanks!
