Textured bolt heads add an impressive statement to any piece.

They can be made with only a few tools, and are a great project for beginners. The 5 - Clout design is one of my favorites, and can be done with any size bolt or piece (depending on your forge!)

My mechanic's gonna love this!

@johnbutcher867 6 лет назад

I wish you were my neighbor. I love listening to you share your knowledge in your clever articulate way. I have learned so much from your videos. I am a 20 year machinist and you remind of all the veteran tool and die makers I worked with when I was a young man. They had so much knowledge experience and wisdom. Thank you so much for sharing your life's work with all of us watching.

@johnwest4788 7 лет назад

Thanks so much. I'm going to replace the lag screws for my forged wall hooks with these. It will look so much better!

@lebommjohnson8101 7 лет назад

Excellent back music, expertly applied ! Always audible, yet no interference to narration or the music of the anvil. Kudos !

@lucdesnoyers645 6 лет назад

I’m new to the channel and I agree, the music and narration are spot on. Excellent video production and craftsmanship on the anvil.

@Essence_and_acres 4 года назад

Love this video.

@daveswensen9627 7 лет назад

You remind me of my HS shop teacher. You even look a bit like him but more so, you sound like him! Excellent diction and articulation. You're easy to follow and your videos are very good. Thanks

@USNERDOC 6 лет назад

Fascinating! Would love to see more of your architectural ironwork. Thanks for the cool video Scott!

@michaeldougfir9807 3 года назад

This is my A-Ha moment. I have seen these bolt heads all my life. I wondered what the meaning was... because surely they represented SOMEthing! Now I know and apreciate them all the more!

@jimsbagels1991 7 лет назад

Can we have a demonstration of you holding a bird in your hand?

+JimsBagels As long as he does not hit it with a hammer. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

the chamfered corners of the last bolt made with the "too small " hammer looks very nice

@jimburnsjr. 7 лет назад

you remember Bob Villa?.... you and your sons... and your long list of friends and community that come together to bring this information in a package of an exceptional and clean example...... is beyond profoundly important. even a Great Father cannot give all the advice or knowledge a man needs... it takes the entire community...and it takes the veneration of a good example. Many people out there are fatherless sons and daughters... The example you are providing is good for those of us who had the best dads... and should be considered the greatest blessing to those who did not have a dad at all. Lots of moms out there without a good example to point them at.. ... the service you provide should be well known.. and your name healthily lifted up to that end... not over honored or falsified to your detriment or any other.... but well known and readily available. I think most of your viewers would strongly agree with me.. I think you should post your name up there with Essential Craftsman.. maybe your sons too... on every page.. and make sure if someone types your name in a search bar these videos will come up.... from how to use a ladder... to blacksmithing... to your favorite tools... they are the topics of men.. and you are doing a good job of representing them and the true value of what was once very rightly touted as American Heritage. Very sincerely and respectfully, thank you. please keep it truly clean... no false judgement evaluation, or trickery... just good and strong. I am going to send them your way.

@stokkelandsmia1631 8 лет назад

you just given me a good idea ... in a wood worker by trade and we mounted a staircase in a old house today ... they had a bean in the roof mounted with modern torcs bots and the house was from 1885 it just seems wrong to me ... next time im there in going to make them some bolts like you made ... looks more in the period correct era :) thanks for the video :)

@hughjohnson3881 8 лет назад

@bryanthompson3839 7 лет назад

@robbjohnson7072 8 лет назад

sure would be nice to see more of your craftsmanship. It is clear you have skill, experience, and passion for blacksmithing. But most important you are gifted with the ability to teach. Please keep gifting us with your videos.

@scottwadsworth5889 8 лет назад

Thanks Robb! Actually, we are about to post a couple more ...one on anvils (a very safe topic) and a video comparing square vs round concrete stakes. I was a carpenter long before I was a blacksmith, and frankly have much more information on construction topics! In any case, I hope that this variation is not a disappointment!

@chazphot 5 лет назад

Man I love these videos so much to learn thank you 👍🏻

@plowboy907 8 лет назад

Noticed that you quenched one of the bolts. What do you do to ensure the integrity of the tensile and shear strength of the bolts. Bolt strength would of course be extremely important if using them in any structural application. Beautiful shop. Thanks Dave Plowman Plowman Forge Tampa, FL

I've been burning through your videos, intently watching, learning with a deep interest and immense respect.....then I notice the can of pre-ground Kirkland coffee(2:26) and can only hope that a wayward neighbor gave you that empty can to use as a dunk tank BC in my heart I know a man of your expertise would never buy that to drink.......

@nateand3 6 лет назад

I love your videos. I've learned so much. I have a question. What do you use to drive these lag bolts into wood with the square head?

@jonathanisbell3353 6 лет назад

Love the videos your putting out. Have you ever considered doing an apprenticeship program of some sort?

@jessicaconaway4095 6 лет назад

Hold it like a bird......that's exactly what my golf professional said about holding and swinging a golf club. That said, I think forging would be much more fun than golf. Great videos and helpful information.

This made me smile. the name 5 clout!!LOL! that was one of my dad's endearing little comments to us kids when he was kidding around while showing us how to do something. he would say,"OOh! I'll give you such a clout!! and would roll his tongue and make a pretend motion towards you! we would laugh!! good memories, the "clout' ! thanks for reminding me!

The 1/4" bolts always bounce around on me in the bolster plate. It's a fairly snug fit. Maybe a thicker bolster plate would help?

@hecksr1692 7 лет назад

How do you fasten these 5 clout bolts, thanks

@MrJman26211 6 лет назад

Curious how you get the black color in the steel... Paint, a certain wax or just from the heating process? Always found blacksmithing very interesting, but just now doing my homework on it. It's a lost art. I find your videos very informative. Thank you!

Wow this does look great, I know what I'm doing tonight here in Quebec, Great video, and nice swords, theyre screaming for a wood lathed handle, I'm curious now if you showed them in a more recent video , by the way I never knew what in the world "clout was. this gives new meaning to my bolts and my vocabulary

@jasonbrooks8521 8 лет назад

Hi, How do you deal with the zinc outgassing off of galvanized bolts?

@1agates 6 лет назад

Use distilled vinegar instead. Let the bolts soak overnight. It strips the zinc right off.

@Brad-pq5sx 5 лет назад

I have tried this a couple of times using old non coated lag bolts (3/8 and 1/2 in). But I seem to have trouble twisting the heads off when I tighten them. What do you do to re harden them?

@frigginpos 7 лет назад

Awesome video. Your sharing of this knowledge is greatly appreciated. Is your forge expensive to operate (heat)?

@OMGVLS 8 лет назад

Do you have any advice for someone trying to get into smithing? I've done some small jobs before (mostly just fixing horse shoes along with some other pretty easy farm equipment).

@scottwadsworth5889 8 лет назад

Yes I do! First get in touch with the Blacksmith Association that includes the your area in it's borders, then go to their conferences. Second go to the websites - Anvilfire.com... and... I Forge Iron.com... they are terrific. Third right here on RU-vid start watching Mark Aspery's forging videos and order his books. He is simply the very best at both forging AND teaching how to forge. You are gonna love it!

@OMGVLS 8 лет назад

Thank you sir!
