What to say FANTASTIC AMAZING Feel LIKE AN AGATHA CHRISTIE OR SHERLOCK HOLMES NOVEL someone can only recognise the craftsmanship of these talented forgotten artisans their knowhow.Surprisingly still some exceptional tradesman care an of passing along part of history for us to rediscover. Well done Thanks
I've found that any time you need to fix something a bit elderly and really worth fixing that Murphy's law, Finagle's law and taanstafl jump up in glee and bite you where it's most inconvenient. It really scrolls my nurd, because I'm not clever or trained up from apprentice level to meet those challenges. I really appreciate watching videos from artisans who can take on those challenges and defeat them, because there is a small chance I might learn something from their instruction and implement it correctly. Thanks Dan for this. You gave the knowledge, now it's up to me to be clever enough , and attentive enough to turn that into a result in my life. Thanks, and please wish me luck!
Happy to see you again, Dan! Nice project. For all the other people I bought a forge from this guy. It's amazing and incredible versatile, I love it! Thanks Dan, best design I have seen!
Hey this is awesome stuff, i moved to ireland fir 3 months to do blacksmithing with guys from leeside forge look it up we did heavy repair on some gates and another one coming out very soon. painting is done and we are now moving on to something else. Lee side forge and my self avantgardnibalik 😄
Terrific to see you back on RU-vid Dan, we’ve missed you buddy and I for one am really looking forward to seeing your upcoming stuff. ‘Hope all is well with you mate...??
Good to see a 9" in action! There has been talk here in oz of banning them. Don't know how that equates for us home users but discs are certainly harder to come by.
Dan at time code 6 30 iwhen you was cutting that bar off it looked like it had an bow on it it looked more prominent at about 10 36 I don't know if it was the camera or not.
@@MISSIONSPACEFORGOO I get ya buddy. All 4 vertical outside/inside rails had to be straightened. Along with some of the bars and dog bars. Nice spot though.
Do you find it difficult to match the quality of older material with new stock? I am guessing cost is a factor, as you mentioned it. Also - interesting to see you doing "regular" work instead of teaching. Great perspective to what you do.
Yeah it's a bit of a pain. I'm also starting to think the gate wasn't made in the uk as it is almost all in metric. As for welding and forging the wrought iron and the mild have different issues but they arch weld easy enough. Thanks for the great comment.
Not intending to take away from the job at hand which in and of itself is captivating, but I would like to see a close up of the contrivance you are using to hold your chalk marker.
@@roberteno5217 I posted a video if making it about a year ago. I was selling kit which you could uses to make the holder and some other bits. That's all stopped now.
