I wished I had got into this profession when I left school. Too late for me now at 42 with lower back issues. I still like watching the craft though. Well done.
I like when you punch & draw your sideclips that you don't gouge too much steel leaving a large source hole, yet they're substantial looking clips with a strong base
Just found your channel. Awesome video. Me personally I'd like more real time footage and just edit out the boring parts instead of a time laps and no music. Just giving you some feed back absolutely not criticism! Can't wait to explore more of your channel.
i admire the background music.... but we preferred the no music.... we like the sound of the natural ambiance of a real blacksmith/farrier everyday sound... please can you make your future videos without music.
Nice! Fine set!! So the million dollar question is why is concave shoes the choice to use in Europe? They are rarely used here in the states. Everyone state that it’s for traction but unless the rider isn’t cleaning the concave out they just get packed with debris.
You'd be correct in thinking that it's a can of beeswax.Beeswax is good for dipping air hardened tools in because it cools them gently while lubricating them at the same time. (Cooling tool steel in plain water can make it brittle) Some farriers/Blacksmiths heat their cans of beeswax to liquefy it & then add carbon powder into it, then when the beeswax cools & sets back into it's wax form it's lubricationing properties are increased.(Doing this gives it a distinctive grey colour thought.)
You've done this for a while.. i can tell :P im a beginner blacksmith (Like, im so new i havent started yet) any tips on horseshoe-making for a beginner? :P
You probably dont care at all but does anyone know a way to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me!
@Seth Reginald Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and Im trying it out atm. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
