That seems a lot easier than splitting it first and drawing out the horns separately, which is the first way I learned this. Hard to get them even and symmetrical doing them separate.

Glad it helped!

This is wonderful for beginners such as my daughter and BFF who are apprenticing; although I've only 2 years experience in forging, it was great finding you. I've made a Playlist of your work, and am very grateful for all you share on your channel. Best wishes, Wendi UK

Nice... I want to go back and watch the five part window grill series. Very interested in that, but it will have to wait a little since spring just gets crazy busy here.

@BlackBearForge 2 года назад

Luckily those videos won't be going anywhere. And hopefully by the end of summer i will have the installation done, so you can add part 6.

@quintonrowan9886 2 года назад

Love this quick video showing the hook and some of the work but really love your longer videos where you “teach” the art of blacksmithing through instruction. It’s the reason I watch your content more than any other blacksmith. Most do videos like this without the commentary and teaching what is being done. I don’t mind taking the time to watch a longer video and “learn” why you do what you do. Keep up the great work. I wish there were more guys like you out there.

I've been in a hook mood as of late too! Recently I made a cross peen leaf and an astromorph hook, it's an alien from the book all tomorrow's. Big Ole ears... I'm working on my next "actual video" for my second channel. Gonna post there, and make one. I wanna attempt to join the community of "RU-vid smiths" as Roy might say. I'm a novice and wish to share my stuff, and possibly even pay it forward with the help I've received from you, and others. My ideah is "by the novice for the novice". I imagine I'm not the first to try this, but I still would like to engage myself. I've heard you and Roy talk about how it's better to be more than a "shop/business" and be the real human. Even if I don't make a dime, I'm gonna keep on plugging away at the craft. As well with the channel idea, I thought it might lend another perspective to fellow beginner/novice/intermediate smiths. Where similarities in our practice can be applied, red green style hacks and such. A couple people on the blacksmithing reddit page said I should go for it. Idk, it may be a flop but I think it would be fun, another point to it all. Oh and great hook and video. Music was a nice touch for the ending. My weekly rant is finally over... 🍻

No, I think the long term series is probably not coming back. But there will always be hooks to make

Nice, I almost forgot what awesome hooks you make. Gonna try to do this one tomorrow. Thanks!

@jakesanderson1125 9 месяцев назад

Maybe this has been addressed in a previous video and I have missed it. As a beginner I hope I’m at least asking good questions. Has there ever been a video on proper hammer control? I’ve heard industry professionals say it’s okay to choke up on your hammer, and those who say you can hurt yourself in the long run, some say to use large hammer, some a smaller weight. I know there are different weights for different jobs, just kind of looking for some guidance on the control, hand position, moving my shoulder, whole body, etc. thank you. @blackbearforge has been fundamental in getting me started in this journey along with my father-in-law who encouraged it to begin with. Thanks.

John very nice job. Hopefully you get great use out of it for many years to come my friend John. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friend. Forge on. Fab on. Keep making. God bless.

Freaking loved this "tutorial" You are awesome! Said it once sayin it again, love your content. I find so much inspiration in your videos, along with the "how to" Stay AWESOME!

@mikehodges6598 2 года назад

John, I always enjoy watching you at your craft. Was that a mild steel cap on the bottom of your treadle hammer?

@BlackBearForge 2 года назад

Its actually brass, but mild steel works too

@pjamestx 2 года назад

Another great project! Since I only have access to a propane forge, I always get a little nervous when one of the steps of a project leaves me with a T-shape 😅 But this one looks manageable, and the results are fantastic!

@BlackBearForge 2 года назад

That is one of the down sides to working with propane. But a torch can often provide the heat for little adjustments.

@vicmeyers1243 2 года назад

Why does it seem like the steel your working on stays hot much longer than the steel I work on? Hi carbon vs low carbon?

@BlackBearForge 2 года назад

Probably starting off a bit higher heat. The type of steel doesn't change how long it stays hot. But work energy from the hammer will keep it hot a little longer. If you work outside the air movement would also cool material off faster.
