"Try not to hit too many times in the same place or you will wind up with a ---squish"---HA! I love it!

I am 62 years of age with an engineering background and have not forged anything. Now being made redundant I am building a forge, Gas as coke is like rocking horse shit in New Zealand, so I can explore this fantastic method of manufacturing useful items. Out of respect to the teacher I do not want to copy others work, just the how, but the measurements are interesting from the point of what proportions of material are required to make the shapes especially twists, wraps and spirals. I have no tools and I am starting by repairing a broken anvil using a forklift tine to make the back of the anvil where the hardy should be. My first tool, Thanks for the motivation and thanks for the essential how to uploads.

Thankyou sir. Learning so much from you,

I have made several of these hooks now and have come back to see what else I can learn from your instruction. What a fun project and everyone that sees them likes them. I made several with the long arm being the top hook and like it better that way personally, mostly because it leaves plenty of room for a wide brim hat. Thank you again John for a very fun project and the usual fine instruction. I must thank you for showing me how to quiet down my anvil too. This video was shot before you reset your anvil and it clearly points out the difference once again.

When you said Make a Cold Shut I believe I felt a disturbance in the Force.

Nice coathanger! Nice to see how you made the balls. I' ll try to make them tomorrow. Greetings Fred Bos.

would love to see the making of the ball in close up. also loved the armani suit comment. i doubt the folks who forge and the folks who own armani suits encounter each other very often!

Hi John love the hook you make in this video which is yet another clear illustration of fundamental forging skills.,.....and your comment "it won't be a ball,.......... it'll be a squish".

Always wondered how you did this great Vid

@sherwoodlayton9595 Год назад

I like the samples you keep for reference, very smart. Thanks for the ideas, tips, and tricks you provide, as well as the fails so we can know to expect not everything goes perfect, even for a seasoned veteran of the forge. Thank you.

@dadolescent3907 3 года назад

Thanks for this

I admire your hammer control.

@FedoraGuru 2 года назад

I just happened to stumble upon your channel, and I have yet to even swing a hammer, however I feel that even though these projects are not the most glamorous it is extremely good for foundational knowledge on Blacksmithing that you will need if you want to continue the craft. Great video, and I will be sure to revisit this when I get my workshop setup.
