Forging Door Hinges with Viking Iron Works 

This hinges be forever 👍

Thanks for the video. I'm making hinges now for my flatbed stake sides on my truck but I'm planning to drift square holes and use carriage bolts to match the rest of the bolts that I used to build the sides. I love the idea of texturing! I'm going to do that before I finish them.

I was trained as a blacksmith in Northern England and taught not to leave and hammer marks. Hammer marks is the sign of a shoddy work. You'll eventually learn how.

Nice, I like to go for the heavy duty style of blacksmithing, fits my style!

Awesome job

Awesome work brother and great video!!

You have a lot of kinks in the barrel. Try forging a bevel on the end before starting and try not to heat up and work and more material than you need. I understand the hinge need to be distressed but you can't just put a load of dings in it with a ball pein. The whole surface needs to be forged and the metal moved to achieve a professional look. You should come to Britain to learn. I'm currently making replacement hinges for a castle in Suffolk. Sorry if I sound patronising. But your hinges wouldn't look right on a 1000 year old castle. Let alone a Viking!

Your anvil is wobbling and needs sorting you are wasting energy moving the anvil about.
