Literally the reason alot of us picked up the hammer and started our journey is because of chandler and old school forge

I always knew you were a harbor freight bucket man 😁

interesting to see your various skill sets, I recently started beekeeping myself. I am going the natural beekeeping path myself, have not got into the cutout realm yet, seems like a lot of work.

Glad you're still fighting through man. I can relate to so much of this and know how tiring it can be. Obviously we dont really know you but you seem like a great guy and you mean a lot to a lot of us. Your videos not only got a lot of us into blacksmithing but were stangely therapeutic.

Nice, hopefully we get to learn how to make charcoal and smoking our own meats... chandler is going to turn us all into homesteaders yet

Just started watching and I hope you made a bee vacuum.

🤘🏼🐝👊🏼

Omg I just noticed you are back awesome!!!

The need a tool, make a tool videos were awesome. You helped me through my dark time, I wish I could pay you back for that. Thank you.

I saw your short post on facebook about these bees. Im not a fan of them, but they are vital to our foods pollination. Glad you're trying to save them rather then an exterminator destroying them. I have a friend that raises bees for honey production, planted a couple acres of clover just for them. He started out small but now he's got so many hives he gives them away.

Nope. I'm good on not being stung.

Hell, I'd LOVE to see how your charcoal retort goes. I've been wanting to learn how to make my own charcoal, as well. The process seems really interesting and fun, plus you end up with a useful material at the end. Seeing your meat processing/smoking process would be sweet too. Always keep moving forward, no matter how beaten down we may feel. Hold your head high, because you are still here.

Get em!

Приветствую коллега. Из Калининграда. Жаль что нет перевода, но однозначно рад видеть.

Thank you 🙏 really I was in aww seeing your video pop up I’ve been watching you way way before the move of the forage. I remember watching you just seat talk when you wanted to talk or just even smoke 💨 a talk. Keep fighting brother.

Welcome back sir. Its been a while glad to see you again

It's good to see you again Chandler. Thank you for the update. I'll gladly follow you on Fbook.

Good to see you again Chandler. I will not have anything to do with facebook, so missed you for the last few years. I was glad to see that you are still around. Especially looking forward to anything you choose to post on your fabricating / woodworking projects.

Loved the video

Glad to see you posting again!!!

Keep fighting one day at a time. Cliche as hell, but its how i get along. We're rooting for you hard.

Glad to have some videos out. Those of us that stuck with you have missed ya

Holy hell its good to see you again Chandler! Been with you for about 9 years or so. You got me started forging and metal working.

I just started the video and don't know what you're going to say, but I just want to say missed ya dude. You're the reason I picked up blacksmithing as a hobby. I actually sold a few coffee scoops recently.

So glad to see you back, Sir!

Glad to see you back. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other dude. Sometimes just getting through the day is good enough. Take care, bud.

I’m sorry things and circumstances have gotten you down. I am happy to see you are back. I started smithing June 2023 after retirement and your channel was the most helpful and I learned so much from watching you. I’ve adopted one of your phrases and chuckle every time I say it to myself: “well that’s not terrible.” Very glad to see a new video.

Glad to see your face man, and that your in good health. You were the first blacksmithing video I watched and I was hooked! I totally understand being burnt out with the world and trying to walk the line in survival mode. I'm not on Facebook, and won't be for personal reasons. However, I hope some of those reels could maybe be KZbin shorts in the future. Honestly, I'd be happy just listening to you ramble in the occasional unedited forge side chat lol. Keep up the fight man, the world is so crazy it has to get better. We're all here for ya, do what you can when you can and we'll be here.

Its been a while. Glad to see you're doing well. Hope you got your guns back and are on the rise again.

Welcome back!

Maybe a small mic on you in future videos when you can get one. Kinda hard to hear what you are saying while you are working.

I miss your blacksmith videos but I understand life happens.

I chuckled at the "Prepare to die C__ S___ckers" comment lol

MINE WAS $425! FRIGGEN BIDEN 😡

keep looking for the dozer and a welder on the background. keep on keepn' on Chandler!

Are there any more smiting video in the future? Awesome videos on your climbing progress... keep up the awesome content.

Nice to see you back at it again

Man my family and I are just happy you are okay. We were worried about you brother.

You (appear to be) exactly the kind of man I call friend. Im glad to hear your voice, if I ever run across you in the real world, beer is on me.

Thanks for sharing. Wondering what had happened to ya. Have missed your video's. Prayers for you.

Cant believe its been 5 years. Glad to see youre back.

Good job, Brother!

Good to see you online again. Stay positive and keep plugging away. Do what makes you happy. All the best Chandler.

A few points: 1.Never feel you should be sorry for not doing this stuff for a while. 2. I was one of those people. I watched your stuff when I got obsessed with blacksmithing and knifemaking. Went on Forged In Fire in season 9, and here you are again. 3. I work in mental health, and you have it right. Just look at the next step and don't worry about the rest.

No fing way.....

🤘🏼🐝

I've been watching you for a long time. Glad to see you again hope you're doing well.

Lovely building - it almost looks like it could be in England. what part of the us is this . Cheers!

Good to hear from you. I'm glad you're still surviving and fuck thum, crack a beer and keep it sunny side up

Yo chandler. Where's the forge buddy. Where's the knives
