Uncle Lloyd as he was oft known in Niagara.

I visited his shop when he lived in Roanoke. It was quite amazing.

Such a shame there isn't a lot of videos with Paul forging, had the pleasure of being taught by Paul for 2 years, such a great guy and incredible teacher. Thanks for sharing!

Great memories. That was a FANTASTIC weekend. I love the hammer Brian helped me make. I would love to have more workshops like this.

where was the workshop located? in ontario?

Greetings! I am a new member of OABA. Is it possible to get a copy of your handout, or perhaps you would consider publishing it in the Trillium? Thanks.

You just saved me a ton of money! I thought that I had to go get a 250lb anvil to do this and all I have to do is weld up a striking anvil. Huge thank you for uploading this.

Thats cool! Its my name too, even though my screen name says Dethain Fortis with numbers...

This guys Legend make it look simple wish everyone wasnt talking when he was though i love silence when learning

Filmed upside down to give a different perspective on the operation of the power hammer. (anybody buy that?)

Thank you for posting this up for those of us that couldn't make it.

Awesome video and demonstration! There's a lot of great information given in this vid. Thanks for sharing this man! :)

This is great

Thank you for uploading this. I have been looking for information on the Aristotle furnace.

I am in the process of building my first forge.I am going to make it a propane forge the reason im doing a propane is because i dont have a shop or enough space to do the older style forge.I watch these videos and just about all the videos I can find to give me ideas.I have a good friend who has been blacksmithin for years.I have done some on his forge not much.I was able to hammer out a knife on his. After that moment I was hooked thanks for sharing these videos.

Good video. As a quibble, however, steel is not a poor conductor of heat, its an excellent conductor of heat. There's a reason you have plastic or wood handles on kitchen tools, because they are poor conductors of heat. If your frying pan's handle was steel, you'd be burning yourself all the time. Even stainless steel, which is a poorer conductor of heat than regular steel, has a conductivity of 3.5, whereas plastic is 0.008, wood is 0.04, water is 0.14 and glass is 0.3.

Yeah... we weren't trying to be historically accurate; we were just having some fun.

Couple of things: At some point a hole *drilled* into the replica anvil. This is definately *not* found on any Norse artifacts. There is a special tool (incorrectly called a nail header - but also used as a bottom tool for hole punching. Using historic bloom iron, you would *not* punch and drift in the way illustrated. The stringy texture of the iron required that you slit, draw, curve, then *weld* to make an end loop.

Daniel Linkenheld is one of the best blade smiths ever! Seriously, I own two!
