My Premier Project Plans: paskmakes.com/premier-project...
My Free Plans: paskmakes.com/free-plans/
I needed tongs to hold round stock for my next project. Making them seemed like the obvious way to go. I love making tools and I also need the practice hitting hot metal and understanding what happens to it when you do that! I make no claims of knowing what I'm doing, just having fun and giving it a go!
I'm planning on making quite a few simple blacksmithing tools in the near future and then using them to make cool tools. I'm not sure if that's something I should be making videos of or whether I should forget videoing and just get them made. I'm very happy to make the videos but I'm not sure if it's what you guys want to see!
As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

A new series Neil? Scrap Iron Challenge.. 👍 🇬🇧

@BernardSandler 5 лет назад

I love the process of your learning. Those videos you sometimes declare failures are among my favourite. Perfection is for the meek. Staying within the margins of the known is not how you became the maker you are. Please keep sharing these.

@PaskMakes 5 лет назад

Thanks very much!😊

@Crewsy 5 лет назад

You proved a couple of things in this video Neil. First you proved that we all have to start somewhere and even with the magic of editing you show that you’re no different than us. Second you proved that your forge works great and is big enough to fully heat something as long as your tongs. So definitely not a fail.

@PaskMakes 5 лет назад

Glad you enjoyed it Wayne! 😊

blacksmith challenge blacksmith challenge he strikes, gets likes, he's getting good Pask makes more than wood!

I love this, he’d be rude not to

@bobvb 5 лет назад

I have thought blacksmithing would be interesting for many years, yet have not tried it. I enjoy someone else learning what I have not. Thanks

@lindsaymillard2811 5 лет назад

I always learn something watching your videos. Happy to watch you go through the learning process. Watching an expert do something they've done a thousand times doesn't show me what I'd struggle with. Thats why I love RU-vid.

@JustMe-bu8pu 5 лет назад

If I've learned anything from the internet, it's that there are people who will watch ANYTHING! In this case, it was interesting. More Please?

@theYeti1000 5 лет назад

I think m8, that watching you learn is far more instructive than any tutorial you could have made. That is a yes to a lot more content like this for me.

@PaskMakes 5 лет назад

Thanks very much Sam! 😊

@bradymcphail9690 5 лет назад

May I be brutally honest? YES SIR! please continue making Blacksmithing videos, please continue making videos period! You're a great craftsman, and it shows in the videos. Explaining your fails, wins and near wins help beginners advance quicker, especially when RU-vid is really the only place of learning in the area of where a student lives like me. So, goodonya! and thank you.

@PaskMakes 5 лет назад

No worries Brady! 😊

@DowneastThunderCreations 5 лет назад

I've never thought about adding "teeth" whenever I've made tongs. Great idea and a nice touch. Your tongs may be a bit too delicate for most blacksmith work, but they came out looking very good, indeed. You certainly have the skills to make heavier tongs in the future. Those smaller tongs will prove useful on projects involving small stock that would be difficult to hold and maneuver with heavier tongs - so all in all, you do in fact have a useful tool added to your blacksmith tool collection! Good job!

@PaskMakes 5 лет назад

Thanks very much for the encouragement, I’ll definitely try again with some heavier tongs! 😊

@TimPiggott 5 лет назад

Yes, I really enjoyed that. It's helpful to see someone else's journey, successes and failures! Please keep them coming.

@paullayden 5 лет назад

Any thing handmade is worth watching. There is always a chance of learning something new

@gr8stuff4me 4 года назад

I’m a bit late on this comment but I would like to tell you that it’s so nice to watch your videos because of the lines “I made a bit of a mistake...” and “...but it’s easy enough to fix by...” and ...”I thought I’d give it a go!” LOVE THOSE AND SO MANY MORE!! You make the rest of us believe we can do it too! We just gotta give it a go! Keep making videos of your learning experiences! They are the best and your ever positive attitude is even better!!

@zachwolfrom4522 5 лет назад

Any Pask video is a good video. I'd watch a video of you folding laundry while eating toast. Cheers

@rosspenner8437 5 лет назад

Good video. I would love to see more like this. It's fun to see guys experimenting and showing both the highs and the lows.

@jcsrst 5 лет назад

Whatever you're doing is always an enjoyable watch ; ) Thanks for sharing.

@nickkropat8857 5 лет назад

Thanks I prefer your turning woods scraps into magic videos, Yesterday on the South African Facebook woodworkers group someone had a boot load of exotic wood scraps and wanted ideas. So the group has now been referred to your channel, here's wishing you many South African subscriptions

@PaskMakes 5 лет назад

Thanks Brendan! 😊

@denniswhite166 5 лет назад

Yes, Please make more videos like this. I know it can be a pain in the neck to video everything - It makes you work slower etc. But we beginners appreciate your doing this for us.

@PaskMakes 5 лет назад

No worries Dennis! It does slow things down but I enjoy making the videos and after the great response here I’ll keep making them!😊

@smartjbrfd 4 года назад

I am also just getting more into my blacksmithing, please continue yours with us. Thanks

@IsaKocoglu 5 лет назад

Yes please! Learning from one's mistakes, or another's mistakes, is just as educational as learning from a master craftsman. We have a saying that when roughly translated, means: "The mosquito is enough as music, to the one that listens, A band is insufficient to the one that does not" Kind of like, "word to the wise", in English. Keep up your great stuff, please Buddy!

@PaskMakes 5 лет назад

I've just added subtitles to this video in a few different languages. They were made from an automated translation, if you would like to edit the subtitles to improve them for other viewers you can do so here ru-vid.com_video?ref=share&v=4F0P-ygBJ5M I needed tongs to hold round stock for my next project.

@gravelcreekfarms3850 5 лет назад

Glad you made a vid of it would like to see how you progress on the tool making. Thanks

@douglasmayes-coventry9673 5 лет назад

Thank you for the video. It shows how we can all learn new and different skills. Typical of the shed work that a lot of Australians get up to with very little formal training. I remember my father tackling anything he thought he could do with varying esults and success. You like him provide inspiration for us all. Please keep posting whatever you are working with it is all interesting to those of us interested in life and doing.

@tjockiskatten 5 лет назад

Yes, more blacksmithing!

@mhpjii 5 лет назад

Yes to more! What would be really interesting is explanations about what you're doing. For instance, how do you know the metal is hot enough to pound or when it's cooled off too much? How long does it take to heat up to a workable temperature? When is the metal too stretched (as you allluded to in this vid)? Teach us!

@evanrenberg2682 5 лет назад

Yes! More blacksmithing adventures please!

@sportflyer 5 лет назад

A definite YES for this sort of video. This is how we learn. I admire accomplished blacksmiths but don't see the basic mistakes they made on the journey.

@bufford14 5 лет назад

If I was you I wouldn't have told anyone this was your first time at it, but I appreciate a man that tells the truth. I thought you did a great job for your first time. Keep on Cracking Mate

@PaskMakes 5 лет назад

Thanks Mark! :)

@jeffkrug5541 5 лет назад

I am very interested in your blacksmithing projects. You keep me watching because you take it all on and keep it interesting.

@clydebalcom8252 4 года назад

You make the videos and I'll keep watching. Anything you want to make, I'll enjoy every moment.

@johna.mangum28 5 лет назад

You provide me great joy through your videos. You value learning by doing. You are honest and authentic in your presentation. You embrace trial and error, as well as recognizing the role of practice in making. And you are willing to critique your work. Thank you for another quality video. I look forward to your next one. You continue to help motivate my own creative efforts. Keep up the great work!

@PaskMakes 5 лет назад

Thanks very much John - glad you enjoy the videos! 😊

@rossmckenzie1854 5 лет назад

Loved the "Thanks for Watching" switcharoo...

@whitedoggarage 5 лет назад

Enjoyed the build Neil, thanks very much. I wouldn't worry about being an expert, watching you build the tongs gives hopes for others to try it using minimal tools and materials. They are a bit fine, but I have three sets in increasing size and if you look at those professional shops they have a lot of tongs of all different sizes so see them as the first of your set. Reo is generally stronger than mild steel so probably has more carbon in it and that was perhaps why it was recommended for this purpose. Thanks again.

@PaskMakes 5 лет назад

Thanks very much mate! That’s my main aim for this type of video, to encourage others to have a go! Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

@RandallLakedogpix 5 лет назад

Hey mate, you continue to inspire me to push my false limits and attempt new things. Love all your builds and look forward to watching. Thanks for sharing and teaching. I often learn as much from other's mistakes and hiccups as I do from flawless procedures.

@PaskMakes 5 лет назад

Thanks very much Randall! 😊

@allthings2allmen 5 лет назад

Only way to learn. No real fault there Neil. As you say, just improve on the next ones. You do quite well for someone who "doesn't know what he's doing"! Keep that humility. Keep learning.

@PaskMakes 5 лет назад

Thanks very much Jason! 😊

@ThoughtfulBiped 5 лет назад

I learn best when watching someone, even if they are still learning themselves. Never watched a video of yours that didn't teach me something or at the very least inspire me to get over the hump of doubt. The internet can make things look so easy sometimes, especially with cut scenes, fast-forwards, and deleted mistakes. You do a great job of streamlining the process with just the right amount of explanation, while honestly sharing your experience and taking the stress out of the learning curve. Thanks a bunch. Keep up the great work!

@jpkalishek4586 5 лет назад

I'm a go for more Black Smithing vids. Its you and you are making stuff. Sounds like a good fit to me.

@ristoner1 5 лет назад

Agree with most other people. Even if you don't know what you are doing on something I always learn something from your videos so keep them coming.

@mikes1345 5 лет назад

Its always worth watching someone trying to learn new skills. I bet they last longer than you think they will. Those "delicate" tongs might turn out handier than you think.

@TheCHRISCaPWN 5 лет назад

I find value in most all of your videos, either educational or just enjoyment. 👍

@rootvalue 5 лет назад

Love blacksmithing. Never been a fan of knife videos because the product is usually more about aesthetics than necessity, but in the same vane (vein?) I love all the toolmaking and forging you do. Like the kannas and repurposing old iron. 👌

@PaskMakes 5 лет назад

Thanks Hakeem - I plan on making quite a few tools this year! Probably a few knives too though! 😊

@RoborobsComputers 5 лет назад

Please continue to share. We love to see you grow and inspire

@meqt172005 5 лет назад

@JonathanDoughty10 5 лет назад

@lagswork 5 лет назад

I love all of your videos and this is definitely something worth doing more of! Keep up the stellar content and especially your superb editing. Thank you and look forward to more of your awesome work!

@lint2023 5 лет назад

I'm very willing to watch and learn along with you. From seeing your past projects, I expect it will be worth while.

@takirc0235 5 лет назад

Love the blacksmithing content just as much as the wood, keep posting!

@ajosepi1976 5 лет назад

Watching this all I kept thinking was "Blacksmith challenge, Blacksmith challenge...." HAHA. I just like watching you make stuff. Doesn't matter what material.

@wich1 5 лет назад

Definitely more, watching someone else learn and improve is always very instructive. Thanks for sharing.

@pixiemouse1 5 лет назад

Brilliant stuff as usual Neil love your enthusiasm an can do approach

@sebuteo 5 лет назад

Yes Neil, definitely keen to see your progress in blacksmithing. I'd like to try my hand at it one day. No idea how/when, as I have none of the necessary tools, etc. I'm still only gradually getting geared up for woodworking! But it's educational, inspiring, and enjoyable to see you at work. So keep 'em coming, please. Cheers, Seb

@PaskMakes 5 лет назад

Thanks very much Sebastian! You don’t actually need all that many tools to give it a go. Of course if you get the bug then that’s a different matter, there are plenty of tools to add! 😊

@engieviral 5 лет назад

I think blacksmithing is a fascinating craft. Watching someone learn it is fun, too! I really like how you unobtrusively just overlay some text with the operation you are doing.

@sgibbons77 5 лет назад

Glad you made this video - I for one am very interested in seeing more!

@scottsimpey2965 5 лет назад

I have enjoyed all of your videos, woodworking, metalworking, or otherwise so hope you keep sharing.

@Timmay1719 5 лет назад

Appreciate you sharing your learning process regardless of how it ends up. We all get better to through doing.

@Starie78 5 лет назад

Great video as usual. I love to see other people's learning processes.

@ronmichaelsen3983 5 лет назад

Neil, it doesn’t matter what content you produce. It is all amazingly wonderful and relaxing to watch. I love seeing your ingenuity with so many of the tools, jigs, and crafts that you have come up with. Yours is one of my most favorite RU-vid channels. Thank you greatly.

@Dolko71 5 лет назад

It’s always fun to watch your videos an learning is somthing we all need from time to time, so of course, show us. Maybe we learn something too. Chears.

@brianrust5275 5 лет назад

I did enjoy it and would like to see more of these videos! The more videos the better!!

@vanceguerena8889 5 лет назад

@lennynash8221 3 года назад

That's awesome!! It took me so many tries to make my first pair of good, usable tongs. Keep up the blacksmithing vids I love em just as much as the other builds

@AtticusDraco 5 лет назад

Thanx for sharing your new journey with us

@apriloliver 5 лет назад

I'd love to see more blacksmithing videos! I would like to learn as well, and so it would be cool to see what you start doing as you learn

@christophermaurer1271 5 лет назад

Bring it on. That was a great first attempt and thanks for sharing.

@DugMcClure 5 лет назад

Always ready to watch your vids, Neil! Thanks!

@26tp 5 лет назад

@antonelm5260 5 лет назад

Oh oh oh!! To this new competence are you can make new fun tools! Look for DIY power hammers ... think that's gonna be right up your alley! Nice to watch your vids as always. Good job!

@PaskMakes 5 лет назад

I’ve thought about a power hammer build but not sure, maybe though! 😊

@linkswoop 5 лет назад

@gtd-sq2pj 5 лет назад

Do what you will. All your videos are great fun.

@reynaldovalle1773 5 лет назад

yes I appreciate this video. because I'm also starting to look into blacksmithing. I really do appreciate the videos keep them coming good luck to you.

@rbassham21 5 лет назад

Pask, I like all your videos, keep it up and thank you for posting!

@juleswebb1885 5 лет назад

ALL your videos are a pleasure to watch, and you're right to follow your creativity wherever it takes you. I'm stuck on my bed with a back injury i got on new year's Day and have run out of decent woodworking videos to watch.. I've watched them all..(and I'm secretly hoping you stick mainly to woodworking projects !) : )

@tomjohns8498 5 лет назад

@Mikidy303 5 лет назад

@grayjackgaming1746 4 года назад

I'm creating some 3D models of blacksmith tools and found myself here to learn a bit about the actual creation of them. Thanks for making this video.

@cpowerdesign 5 лет назад

As always, I enjoy watching your videos. I'm also looking into forging and right now I'm gathering materials to build the forge. I just picked up several kiln bricks from a brick yard. It won't be long now until I start hitting hot metal to make a few knives. Building an anvil of of old railroad pieces I found.

@PaskMakes 5 лет назад

Thanks Casey - good luck with your forge and anvil - sounds great! 😊

@mightymicrofarm7004 5 лет назад

I'm just starting as well. Just completed building my forge and I'm searching for an !!! affordable!!! anvil. I'd love to see more of these vids. Thanks Pask.

@Ebikelover 5 лет назад

Another awesome video Mate, thank you for sharing !

@CryoGenUK 5 лет назад

Yes indeed more blacksmithing videos would be great alongside your usual content. Love everything you do. :D

@robertbrunston5406 5 лет назад

Looking good my friend especially for your first pair! I think you will find you will need a lot of different types and sizes of tongs, also hammers! Thank you.

@mdmx92 5 лет назад

i enjoy watching you make anything man...keep doin your do

@Spencer93117 4 года назад

Hi Mate, I’ve been watching all your videos and I find myself chomping at the bit for more, I would love to see a lot more blacksmithing videos or incorporate some forged elements to a wood project. Keep it up!!!! Please!

@shayanthis 5 лет назад

Cheers for making the vid. I need to make a few new tongs, and you've reminded me that I'm well out of practice with blacksmithing!!

@ianvicedomini2648 5 лет назад

For a first attempt, I think they're brilliant mate and they look like they'll serve their purpose too. Great stuff buddy

@mildyproductive9726 5 лет назад

Very cool stuff, Neil. By all means record yourself rebuilding the universe. Even if it's not practical for most of us, we love watching you do it.

@tammyfinch5469 5 лет назад

I, pretty much, watch every video you do so, yes.

@Rick_Bagnall 5 лет назад

Nice Job for a first try! I think they would be very suitable for 6mm and smaller stock. Your next set will be better, your second tries usually are. I like the way you allow is to see the first attempts. It encourages us to try what we might not for fear of it not coming out perfect the first time. Thanks for sharing that part with us!

@PaskMakes 5 лет назад

No worries Rick - glad you enjoyed it!😊

@thomasklink3766 5 лет назад

Fun to watch. I've always wanted to build a forge and get into blacksmithing. I had a little experience with it in Ag shop in high school. Really don't have a place to do it or the time with all my woodworking projects. But keep em coming, you put together some fine videos.

@mictaylor9531 5 лет назад

Good skills brother! Lovely job 👍🏻

@marcball7454 5 лет назад

I enjoy every video you put out and this is no different ..I know you said you’ve just started out at blacksmithing but you look like an expert at everything you do ..great work mate 👍

@PaskMakes 5 лет назад

Thanks very much Mark!😊

@Syncubus 5 лет назад

Forging videos can quickly become tedious, but you usually have a pretty good eye for cutting to the chase in editing and putting your own clever spin on things. I'm interested in seeing what you can come up with.

@PaskMakes 5 лет назад

I know what you mean, hopefully I can keep things interesting! 😊
