Hi Brother Ed, why are you using Brian's page and not your own? Is Brian there? 😊

Very instructive!!!!!!!!!!!!!! High level, experienced blacksmith!

No, that video man and then one heat, dude that Hass to be muscle memory

I would like to say that if that’s your boy there doing that hammering,I like the way you ask him was he paying attention thats a lot better of other things I probably would have said to my son . You learn something every day . I appreciate the video and you sir.

What is the length of that slot punch? Four inches?

Thats a very precise thick plug and some really cracking even swells on the soon to be cheeks of that there hammer... Thanks for sharing

Hey Brian, how have you been? Are there no full videos about forging technique and approach anymore?

What are the angles on the tongs, 90 and 110?

New upload, woooo!!!!

Hope you guys can make it out to California for Octoberfest again. Really enjoyed watching and making things a few years ago.

Is the video set to "hidden" intentionally? I think I lost one before cause I didn't realize you have to save the link or you can't find it anymore

I enjoyed watching this video more than any video that I have seen in recent memory. So smooth and so deliberate, demonstrating the important points of driving a punch through hot metal. Definitely not your typical "Git it hot, Hit it hard" school of thought.

Would love to see your flatter. It looks from this angle like just a big hammer.

Wonderful demonstration of skill and knowledge :)

Nice clean strikes, beautiful

Bardzo dokładnie obejrzałem dżinsy

Hard to hear but nice to watch you work

I like the way cutting it off hot carries on forging out the stem too...useful to remember so you don't over forge the stem Thanks for sharing

Nice man love to see you back at it . Keep up the good work.

Where was this video shot?

be prudent man😮

So happy to see you posting new videos! Hope you are well. Look forward to more!

Hard steel doesnt move. If you go on them to quench it you have already set conditions for it warping or cracking. there is a lot of great advice in this video from stock sizes to drift shaping and heat conservation It's a bit difficult to follow whats going on visually but if you listen to whats being said it makes sense (also I think the smith working was a bit resistant to taking advice from Brian...which given Brians experience seems a little odd to me). Thanks for sharing Brian

I completely agree,understand and feel your frustration!!! Sometimes your the windshield, sometimes you’re the bug…!!!just a box of 🪨 🪨

Sadly, not as helpful as I'd hoped

Ain't scared of black bear. Brown or grizzly is another story though.

I thought for sure you were at black bear forge-lol

OH Hell No 😅

You guys are crazy. Not gunna lie, I’d be a bit curious myself 🤷🏼‍♂️

Terrified of your hand/arm strength seeing how easily you are handeling that hammer

So good mate, can you explain more about that punch please. What makes it different to a flat punch. Is it sharper or something? Thanks Len.

Love the video. You are truly a master.

Working in clay without the fire and the pressure of cooling the piece too much down.. this is GENIUS!!! Thank you Sir! 👍

I'm a beginner blacksmith and right away I could tell this video was special but not exactly why. The first time I watched this, I ran right out to the shop and forged the best tongs that I've made so far. Watching it again, I learned so much more than I did the first time, and I'm getting that same sense of inspired urgency to fire up the forge. I can't put my finger on just what sets this video apart from the rest but, without a doubt, this is on a whole other level than most. I just want to say thanks. That you've been kind enough to take the time to share your knowledge while demonstrating the skill is something to be grateful for, and I look forward to everything else I'm sure to pick up each time I rewatch it

Talk about ASMR... my goodness that was the most rhythmic video I've seen that wasn't music related. Great job Brian.

@oscarduck1920 how heavy its this hammer?

Also, Mr. Brazeal, i notice many commentors are saying they have bought some tools made by you? Where do you sell them? I want to take a look, i can see you are a well-seasoned master. I'm inspired.

I have two questions. How did you get that initial bar of copper? Just pour it into a mold? Also, did you anneal it before hand, working with it hot? I keep cracking it, perhaps i have not learned to keep it hot/annealed with hammering alone. Very new at this, any advice would be very much appreciated!

Excellent video. Your step by step detailed instructions are very helpful. I subbed to your channel.

👍✌️⚒️

C'est très beau de vous voir façonné le métal avec une telle facilité

I keep watching this same video year after year. It still amazes me and I learn something new each time.

The first hammer was a stone. Look up how we first made flat surfaces, that’s wild.
