Wow...great work!!!

They were made to cut through wooden shields

I was soooooooo close to correcting your words until it clicked that you were doing it on purpose ...Hilarious lo awesome video man

Great review. Thanks.

A master craftsman at work, that is a magnificent sword.

What size stock did you start with?

How this are you stainless tubing wall?

Late to the party here....I'm restoring a Champion No. 93. Any thoughts on finding out when it was manufactured? Thanks!

When you moved your anvil you did the penguin waddle, I just thought that’s funny because that exactly the same way I move my anvil. 👍

Watching and listening for only three or four minutes, I realize the involuntary grin (mine) indicates the expert skill level he is demonstrating. Then I notice many other comments beat me to saying it.

Great video. This is literally all I need. I just want to make some knives. Well, try to make some knives.

thanks for the warning. i have a grizzly table saw which has stood the test of time, but some of their stuff just doesn't cut the mustard.

🔥🔥🔥

haven't they stopped making the mounting holes because they often break off?

Man those menuki turned out really good!

NOT ON THE DAM TREES DAM IT!

Beautiful work

Sophomoric at best. Please keep trying !

As a former Marine and Retired Navy I've never eaten a crayon - but I hear purple tastes best. Thanks for your service.

Nice critique! Anvils are very interesting! Thanks man 👏

Made it look easy. Love that you don’t make it more complicated than it should be. 👍

This along with your tips have pushed me to build one hopefully I’ll have it all set up soon. It super excited to finally have a bigger forge.

Is there any way i can get you to make me a diagnol cross pein hammer sir

Hello John my name is Taylor I live in fairbanks alaska big fan man!!!! I'm new to smithing been heavy in it about a year wanna make my first hammer by hand using 4140 would love some input from a pro I want a diagnol cross pein and I love your designs of hammers

Me watching this video, feeling really REALLY confident about the fact that I could forge myself the same katana without any training

Belíssima 👍

I absolutely love this Bowie knife !!! And the construction of it. I would like to inquire as to how much it would cost to have on made ? Could you either contact me or let me know how I might contact you ?

Looks great. I like antler as a handle material, too, but I can't stand the smell as it's drilled.

Very cool design

Was able to get the anvil for $60. They had it on sale for $75 and then they took awhile to ship so they refunded me $15 for my inconvenience. I’m not complaining for the price…

Lame

Great sword, John! Good video!

Awesome build!

Good job explaining the whole process. This looks like something I could do. Thanks.

thanks a bunch! i would like to save some money on propane

TRASH

We need a nothing to it counter

Really nice …first time watching on u tube love the shop

A better blade than Buck, Case, Schrade or Gerber have made in 40 years.

What type of steel are files generally made of?

What is wrong with your helper, he seems kind of fearful? Did you drop a hammer on his foot?

My 2x42 Grizzly -T32459 - blue magic smoke from the motor at 3 months old. One call to tech support and 10 minutes later a new motor is on the way. Got it 4 days later. That's a 228 dollar replacement part for a 299 dollar piece of equipment. Yeah, I have skills and can replace it (and did, took 20 minutes) and Yeah, I'll buy it again.

Good video just forge kinda knocks u outta the audio section about at 3/4 mark, but love your honesty about this forge not many around, thanks for the video will check some others that you have. Thank you

Very nice KATANA. 👍💯💯🇨🇦
