Forging a Coffee Scoop 

I agree most blacksmiths workshops are filthy this one you could eat your dinner off the floor

@@MrOldclunker and no jobs

Well thanks! Hope to do more as I can.

= =！

Ha, no on the mug, picked it up locally, but thanks, glad you like the work :)

@@rigoniironworks How much one teaspoon coast like to much work thank you

William Cunha .. agreed.. they have very similar editing style for the videos, and both do wery presise and clean forging, but no-one has a cleaner shop !

Truly, thank goodness for this video. I've watched years of smithing videos on youtube and always loved smithing, but never really liked how smithing seemed to require so much grinding and polishing to look decent. Yet here we have a finished, clean, crisp product right off the forge block. This guy's dedication(as you said) to precision through tooling has given me hope for creating a shop where I can smith and forge clean and trim product.

@@ryanfeldpausch858 it’s all about hammer control. Tools are irrelevant in relation to the operator.

Hmm, it's possible. Maybe this summer.

He picked a fine brand of coffee indeed.

Hello, I will make a new batch in few weeks. They will be available on my website.

My thoughts exactly, those dies look so immaculate and practical, could do just about anything with just a few switches. Nicely shot too, imo.

Yea the tooling was awesome to see. I took a job managing a university sculpture studio and between the time that I was a student there and then getting job, they sold off the power hammer. *gasp*

We're all on the same page here fellas. His jigs are quite convenient. The whole work smart not hard thing. 👌

Well, if he makes a café au lait it'll probably be pretty good. Especially if he throws a little of that honey in there.

Interesting. I wonder why.

thanks!

Hi, it depends on the project/use. You can use wax, mineral oil, clear coat etc.. Wax gives a little protection. Apply when it gets rusty. For most tools I clean and put away dry. This goes a long way to keep from rusting.

yes, if it catches fire a bit. I also use pure acetylene+wax for pure black on other items.

@@rigoniironworks That's great. Thanks for the tip and the fast response!

yep

Thanks! I used beeswax since it will be used with foods.

@@rigoniironworks That makes perfect sense. Do you ever have to reapply the beeswax? Or does metal have 'pores' that the wax will penetrate.
