I've watched this video many times. I've been making a few spoons lately. You do very nice work and this is a great video. Thank you

@hepburn118 Год назад

Fantastic work, I hope to be as good as you one day, but I have a feeling I will have to settle for close.

@brianmcdonnell6758 5 лет назад

I don't have a problem with someone disliking a video, but I think it would be appropriate to post in the comments just why they didn't like it. You never know, it might even be educational. For the record, I have enjoyed every one of your videos I have watched. You're a great teacher with an abundance of knowledge and skill. Thank you for sharing.

@paulorchard7960 2 года назад

Thanks John, Ill search and find the fork and spatula to make the set!

@darinvoight68 5 лет назад

My preferred food grade finish is a mixture of bees wax and mineral oil. Both are food safe and non-perishable, so you never have to worry about it going rancid if something goes unused for a while. I use 2lbs of beeswax per 1 gallon of mineral oil. I make it in an old turkey deepfryer, just heat up the oil and melt the wax in to it and then store it in paint cans until I use it. I also put some in smaller jars to give to customers so they can add more finish to their items if they need.

@larrygockley2613 5 лет назад

I like the spoon. You make it look so easy.

@frankhurlburt204 5 лет назад

I have always liked to watch videos like this. I remember back in my youth and when the ferried would come out to shoe the horses. He brought his portable coal forge and make the shoes for the horses right there along with the nails.

I didn't realize how good your sound quality is. It usually well ballenced not too loud nor quiet, but when you gently set the beeswax down on the anvil and it could be heard clearly I was amazed. In short, excellent sound quality ;) lol

@panspioch 5 лет назад

Great video as always. I'm really thankful for this channel. I've got a small tip: If you set the white balance temperature manually in your cameras, you will get consistent colors across different shots for the same scene.

@BlackBearForge 5 лет назад

Sounds reasonable. If only it actually worked that way in practice. The last time I set the white balance manually for three different cameras using the same white reference and they were so radically different in editing I ended up deleting the entire 8 hours worth of work.

@panspioch 5 лет назад

True, that can happen when you use the reference card. I meant dialing the actual temperature in the cameras. Then if you discover that one camera has warmer colors then the other in the same lighting conditions, you can memorize the difference and dial it in for different scenes. I am not a pro by any means but that seems to work for me.

@jan-reiniervoute6701 5 лет назад

"You can't please everyone". After 22 years in hospitality I agree vehemently. Some are unpleasable under all circumstances and using a crosspeen hammer on them is frowned upon. Keep laughing Uncle John, most of us will laugh along. 👍

@duckman42068 5 лет назад

Love the channel could you make spatula wider would like to make a set for BBQ

@BlackBearForge 5 лет назад

Just start with a wider bar or fold back on itself and forge weld to add mass

@CaptainTwitchy 5 лет назад

As hard as John swings that hammer, I think he could knock a man out with a flyswatter! ETA: May seem silly, but do you have to do anything to maintain a dirt shop floor? Add/remove/smooth-out the dirt? Certainly cheaper than pouring concrete.

@BlackBearForge 5 лет назад

Pick out the big chunks of scrap and rake it level.

@FlyingHammerForge 3 года назад

Are you turning off the gas forge in between heats? Is that to save gas or simply for audio quality on the video?

@BlackBearForge 3 года назад

Just for the audio quality

@1averageamerican 5 лет назад

Just wondering John, do you always shut off the gas burners between heats to save fuel or is it just for video sound purposes? Thanks.

@BlackBearForge 5 лет назад

Not during normal work. I just do it for video recording so you can hear the instructions

@richardharris5336 5 лет назад

Hey! Do you have any suggestions for working with stainless on this sort of thing? I've tried multiple times last year to use 304 stainless to make some salad servers / serving spoons, but failed. I've kept to the suggestions of keeping it HOT when working, into the bright orange range, and not even into red - this was more successful but I still got failure at the thin parts. Crumbled steel, cracks, very weak. Am I just using the wrong type of stainless for forging? 304 was recommended but I'm wondering if there must be something easier to work with, given I only get failures...

@BlackBearForge 5 лет назад

I'm afraid I don't do anything with stainless

@danielcrawford7315 5 лет назад

@richardharris5336 5 лет назад

Is it normal procedure for you to turn the forge off between heats? Is that just for the benefit of the audio recording? (As I would have assumed the heat would drop quite considerately)

@BlackBearForge 5 лет назад

I only do that for the audio. There is a bit longer reheat time as a result and I frequently have multiple pieces in the fire when working normally. So turning it off and on isn't real efficient

If it cracked, it may have been an alloy steel of some sort. I try to avoid quenching anything that doesn't need hardening

Hello Mr black bear forge! I am from the United Kingdom and stumbled across your channel, is there a way to forge a bigger spoon, possibly around 4 or 5 feet?

@BlackBearForge 4 года назад

For something that large I would probably make the bowl separate then rivet to a handle
