From a material science view point, what is more durable? A hammered surface or a ground surface? Or does the quenching and tempering process make the difference moot?

Guys, seriously?!?! This is one of the most useless tools! All this effort to make something that does no better job, in any way, than a good ol' hatchet! It's even clumsy!

Will you please make some more videos - we need good relaxing black smith working to rest our minds in these times.

Hermoso trabajo maestro

I sometimes ponder what I might have done for a living had I been born 150 years ago (was in IT behind a desk in reality). Blacksmithing seems like it might have been a possible avocation. Of course there weren’t these really nice forging presses, so it was done mainly with hammer and anvil. Interesting stuff.

Nice design

this is awesome , whats the price of this beauty ?

❤️‍🔥👍

Fun knife to make😊

Traditional handle materials are boxwood, favoured by the English. Also nice is dogwood, a very hard wood with lovely, subtle checkerboard or stipling. DM If you want some. PS Adding a leather washer between the tang and the wood on the handle prevents spliting Fianlly finished all the vide. Love the grinding done to add relief to the sides of the blade.

Was walmart closed?

Lindo cuchillo pero tiene algún uso específico? Pregunto por la forma que tiene

nice

Salah satu chipping terbaik.👍

Behind every piece of furniture were the tools, and behind every tool there was the toolsmith

Surprised you didn't stop in the middle to build a steady rest 😊

Oh man … where’s the steak?!!!

I never understood what those small particles are that are separated from the metal during hammering.

That's a very nice piece. Well done my friend. 👍

How am I only discovering you now

Too much talking! Will you ever shut up?! 😂 Seriously though, beautiful work. I like how the tops were left in their rough forged state. 👏🏻

Some of those pieces of equipment must be getting close to 100 years old?

Burnishing wood with shavings or a small piece of wood is an underrated way to achieve a finish. Yew and dogwood look great too

Hello, what kind of wood are your anvil stands made of? Ty :D

Oh man,the effort,i love it❤

is this leather?

Perfect looking Hammers!!!🫡👍💪

This reminds of the heart-shaped waffles my grandparents make when me and my relatives come to their place. When I was a kid, seeing them making the waffles was awesome, my grandpa would hold the waffle iron over a big stove while my grandma would put the paste on it and remove the freshly made waffles. Really good memories.

Gracias por sus valiosas explicaciones.....Maestro es maestro....sus maestros están orgullosos y sus discípulos en la tierra siempre estamos aprendiendo de la gracia para lograr la perfección de la forja .....namaste

Thought oh no a round handle. Nice trick offf center in the lathe.

Buying ‘Ho-mi’, could be best choice

So many of us know that "sigh"

Quá tốn nhiều công và chảo không được đánh bóng nhẵn trong ngoài rất khó vệ sinh

Maestro , que unta a la cuña antes de que el martillo pilón golpee...parece barro con agua....por favor una explicación

Que Gran trabajo ! Maestro. Argentina

I first learned this stuff in shops class in the late seventies as a bored grade 8 student. I already knew about how to make tools like this as my dad had a collection of small tools that he brought with him from Northern Alberta, and a frhat wadmade up there was one of my favorite tools to use. He had the tool for about 30 years and I've had it for another 40. I've used it to split red cedar tapers for my mom's old house and after that, siding for a shed and a roof for gazebo I was also doing mountain biking at the time , and we were building a bridge over Langdale creek, and I use that to split out the deck planks for that out of this beautiful old growth cedar log that have been down and covered with mosque for probably 40 or 50 years. A beautiful kidney beans shaped cross-section up to 20 inches thick through clear red cedar. I had the idea to carve them so I went and kept four of the planks for my own use and I've still got them 25 years later. My friend liked mine, so he had one made by a metal worker but sadly it was welded out of a old leaf spring, and a short pipe section welded on for a handle. He used a metal Hammer to strike it instead of a wooden club. Another forged piece I found was a log dog at the side of a house being built in West Vancouver's British properties neighborhood. No idea it was doing there and nobody that I spoke to that were Old-Timers there ever knew that there was a log cabin up there at any point The backhoe was digging stuff out and dumping it near the street, and I heard a loud clang and then the backhoe move further up the slope away from it so the Curiosity got the better of me. And I dug this 2 ft long piece of metal out. Obviously handmade, but with defrost pits and being buried for possibly up to 60 years
