I was rooting for you when you were straightening the legs and instantly felt your pain when it snapped. Also, stopping a project to completely rearrange your space was quite relatable. 😏
I was stressed out watching you straighten those legs. I've been in that same boat many times. The way you bounced back with arguably an even better piece than the original is a true testament to your skills. Well done.
I jumped like it was something in the movies!! I’ve broken too many jobs trying to straighten after the harden n’ temper that I was cringing as soon as you started 🫣 Great video, really enjoyed your process 👍
Great work. I appreciate the steps being shown and the failure, then the rise from the failure again. It's easy to scrap something and move on, I do it more often then I like, but it shows immense character to follow through with something despite setbacks. I can see your passion for your craft. Keep it up!
Failure is a necessary part of working with your hands, or making anything for that matter. I think it’s a good thing to be knocked down only to rise again. Thanks for the kind words! 🙏
I’ve never seen blacksmithing look so beautiful!! Or be so funny, I love your humor. Great camera work, fantastic blacksmithing, and I love the way you teach! Say hi to your wifey! ❤
Started playing in my Dad's forge around 60 years ago and I still make mistakes. Turned into a beautiful piece. Now you can make a mate for it! Enjoyed it.
Excellent video. I'm always glad to see makers show the bad things that can happen to anyone. Nice recovery and a wonderful way to get lemonade. Also, your patience is saint worthy; can't say I would have done so well resisting the urge to hurl it into the void. Nicely done
Been waiting for this since the short. Your decorative file work is really, really good. I can't quite figure out the steps you used to do the round section on the pencil holder bit. Perhaps my brain is too smooth. Great work, can't wait for the next one.
I like that you show your mishaps.... good man... Your lovely hay budden rings abit though..sets my tinitis off lol They turn out great you did a really nice job on the pencil holder. I also prefer hand filed ornamentation, using power tools just makes for slips and awkwardness that I don't want Thankyou for sharing
Loved the editing and also the chalkboard lesson. Excellent 3d graphics. Well done on the smithing. Would say that sound effects often work better in pararell with footage effects/editing, sometimes the sound effects can sound more unintentional than they are, and you don't entirely get the impact you want. Zooming in (punch in) when adding sound effects would help. But i loved the video, hope you keep making them.
I was so scared leading up to the break and SO SAD when it happened. Totally felt your pain. I love that you took the piece into a new direction - super impressive!! Stay cool, yo ❤
Out here killing it man! Please feel free to put out some of your easier projects on here too! Im sure everyone would juat love to see any content you could put out.
Bro wdym less than 1k views in a week? You made a compass by hand, and it looks as good as those old ones, if not better. When you broke the right side, wouldn't an anneal/rectify/harden again be better?
In my professional opinion you need more Doug In my not so professional opinion I wish there was somehow more explanation of how you get your drafted plans to take shape with the forge?? How do you know where to hit the bars to make the shapes wtf Like you're just doing magic and pretending it's normal, right?
