Forging a Damascus/iron axe to feed America 

Anyone else cheer a little bit when the brush finally dived off the anvil?

You’re doing great, take care of yourself and your family first then you can educate and entertain us when you can!

I finally got to order one of your Pineapple twist Railroad spike knives, Looking forward to getting it.

I really appreciate that you do so much without the aid of hydraulic presses and power hammers (not that there's anything wrong with them, of course). It's inspiring to people like myself who do this simply for the love of the hobby, and have no plans to add big shop equipment.

Awesome build man, may the gods bless your forge!

Thank you for your charity!! I grew up like that as I was the youngest of four boys with out a father. My mom earned all her grey hairs!!! 🙏🏻🤣😂🤣😂❤️

Very nice John! I really like your nuttin to it saying and your charity builds show your great character! God Bless you sir!

Nobody: John: NOTHING TO IT REALLY

I love watching it slowly gain its intended shape. It is hard work but oddly relaxing to watch

You are a greate craftsman ! Greetings from Germany, well done job !

I love that you pick really good charities I hate that any child would go hungry keep up the good work I will watch your videos until you decide to stop making them

This is video number 3 that I have watched and that axe is awesome And the reason you made it is Beautiful .cheers

I don’t know any reason your channel wouldn’t be monetized. Your not political, you don’t cuss, no nudity, no guns no violence. RU-vid is absolutely unreasoning anymore.

Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls You do great work

Great Smith! great show!

Awesome work man! It's cool to see you doing what you enjoy and giving back to the community!

Excellent job!

That is a beautiful piece of work, you excelled yourself!

Axe came out real nice! Don't be sorry for missing some videos.. good to hear business is doing great. Keep it up! Thanks

Great looking axe John. Keep up the good work!

Congrats on getting a fulltime blacksmith!:-)

John, finally had the chance to see your forged in fire episode. Sorry it didnt turn out better but i thought you did a great job. I was pulling for you all the way and i thought you had it. You are forged in fire champion to me

Love that axe

Amazing work, I wish you the best!

Very cool, love the work.

Good one John turned out real nice.

love the charity projects a lot, quality work as always. Thanks for giving to these great organizations.

I do so many welds and can't get them to stick or weld like you but I'll say this: you smart, teach really well and have a heart wo big it makes me come back every time! I have never actually gotten any of your work but it's w goal to earn something you have made. One to go off of and 2 so I can say this is what wn expert does and this is what I do. Good on you for the train of thought to consider want wnd all the charities you choose. I'm a big kid (around this lifestyle) myself want would hate to have worried about food more than I did. Thank you bub

Great work as always

Amazing Work.

Wow that turned out beautiful!

Love watching you man! Keep up the good work

Really nice John. Love your work!

That was an amazing pattern. Great work as always, it was neat you could already see that pattern just as u put your touch mark on it!

Dude...that axe is awesome! I made my first axe last month and got all my welds to stick but I still need a lot of practice.
