Hiya. Did you go to the Rennaisance Faire this year? I don't use Insta or whatever so I wouldn't know if you posted anything.

I'm notoriously bad at social media, and notoriously worse at finishing videos. Things have been put on hold for me for a while, but they're not forgotten!

@JosieJoeMcK-tg6rx 10 ай бұрын

It gives me a fuzzy feeling inside when someone says they're hopeless at social media. I idea there are beautiful talented people out there who aren't cybernetic narcissists, revives my flagging faith in humanity. Long may you continue not updating your profiles. (Although that Puss'n'Boots outfit on Instagram is kinda stunning...)

Are you still planning on making more smithing videos? Hope you've been doing well! :)

Hey! I am, but not only am I notoriously bad at social media, but also have put things on hold for a bit for a couple different reasons. Despite them being on hold, they're not forgotten, I promise.

No worries, was just checking up on you! glad you are doing okay! I can understand that, i forget i should probably talk to my friends at least a few times before we retire or something. lol I hope everything turns out well for you in the future :)@@TheElfsmith

love it, the sound of a forge and hammering, if you're an elvish smith, I'm definitly a half dwarven half orc steel whacker. steel puncher? no, maybe iron pounder, perhaps The Artist formerly known to love hitting metal. please, do come back and bring more knowledge to us poor people who can't follow their dreams anymore, dream for us!

I'd always thought that smithing was 'hitting something really hard with precision'. But you seem to have quite a 'light' technique?(Though perhaps, when fighting dark-lords you don't want to hammer out the magic you spend ages putting into your steel?) I've been trying to find local introductory courses, but (counter intuitively) all the ones within 20 miles of me are booked-out since The Covid. I've wanted to do some forging ever since I got a taste of it in high-school, but always felt I'd be made unwelcome wherever I went, since I'm about as far from 'Big Hairy Masculine Blacksmith' as it gets. But you have indirectly persuaded me to give it another go.

Adri, while I'm a fan of the 'show don't tell' style of vid, would it kill you to say just a couple of words?

is it actually called a ball peen? theres no way

@TheElfsmith 2 жыл бұрын

Believe it or not, it really is! The term "peen" in this context means the side of a hammer opposite the main face- so you get cross peens, diagonal peens, straight peens, ball peens, point peens, and so on and so forth!

Why are railroad spikes so commonly salvaged for making tools?

@TheElfsmith 2 жыл бұрын

They're cheap, a good size, easy to work under a hammer, and when water quenched, can get somewhat hard.

This was cool, although I spent the first half being mostly confused as to what was happening, might want to add something at the start that says to turn on youtube captions.

@storyspren 2 жыл бұрын

Those close-ups where you can really see what each strike does are fascinating. Also the captions are very nice, some Primitive Technology vibes at certain points and other points remind me of Alvin Zhou, but they're still distinct enough from both to be recognized as your captioning P.S. TIL the word chamfer. Very nice word to say
