This video shows how I make a bottle opener with a water twist handle. The starting stock is 10mm mild steel square bar. See more of my work on instagram at / winterbrookforge
Thanks for sharing your beautiful work. So cool to watch. My grandfather in Brazil was a blacksmith. I loved going into his workshop on the farm. Sometimes, as a little girl, I’d peek in there at night when all the menfolk were out there talking and laughing around the fire (drinking some beer, I imagine.) I’m going to share this video with my two sons. Thank you!
I love the look of the twist! I'm just getting into blacksmithing to add a different element to my fabrications. This project looks perfect to add to my list of things to learn. Thanks for sharing.
First video of yours i've ever seen. Reallly like the result. You've just taught me a twist I didn't know existed. I'm definitely going to try this one, even if it comes out a little wonky I'll still be pleased. You just got another happy sub!
Nice job and video angles, when upsetting the end of a bar its best to make a short heat section if its heated too far or too long cool it in water to consolidate the length, much easier to control without distorsion, its all practice, a small flare or fish tail scrolled over for the handle end would have finished that off differently.
I didn't like the rounded end, thought that it deserved more than that, but... BUT... on seeing the finished article I thought that it looked just right. Great job. As an aside, do you not have a touchmark? (This is my 1st visit to your site, now subscribed :) )
Liked alot about it. Great camera angles, clear steps but that god awfull noize of the torch. Maybe turn down original audio down or run a noize canceling over it or something. Keep up the good work
А я на другом конце делаю волюту. Петля такая кузнечная для тех, кто не в курсе. А здесь автор просто обрезал конец после торсиона и всё... Скучно сделал.
