1 Minute Heel Caulk - All About Rhythm

I dont think people understand how hard this is to do in one heat. The extra beats may seem like flair but he's keeping time and clearing the hammer at the same time. brilliant

It's excessive, unnecessary wear on the hammer and anvil. Keep time in your head and spare your tools and your arm.

gosh dang you can tell there is so much skill here haha. i don't think i'll ever come close to this level of greatness, but learning to smith has always been a lifelong desire of mine. I got a book, likely written by a man just like this, that is helping guide my way through learning the first stages of smithing. oddly enough it teaches a lot about wagon wheels, but many of the techniques used in the book can be used to make more than just wagon wheel parts as long as you have the vision to see it. This man ought to write a book about smithing himself for us hobbyists so that maybe even the tiniest fraction of his skills could rub off on us through the pages.

[@100GTAGUY]

@@ChrisGregoryFarrier being that cold steel has more bounce to it, I'm guessing this also helps reduce some fatigue by taking less energy to raise the hammer all day?

[@fallensfaith6839]

Also a hammer gets heavy in the forearms if you just dead lift it on a pause to look at material the bounce keeps momentum making hammer lighter too as the anvil bounce is somewhat akin to the steal your working

[@ChrisGregoryFarrier]

Thanks so much for your comment Kevin. I hope you figure out a way to get some blacksmithing in.

[@thomasarussellsr]

You really don't need a whole room or a garage. Lots of blacksmiths around the world do it out in the open, in the ground fire, on a solid metal object. They don't even have a true "anvil" as we have come to recognise them. But yeah, any way to force air into a fire to make it hotter and a solid steel post/block (for an anvil) and hammer is all you really need to get started. Wood, coal, coke (Not cola), propane, can all burn hot enough to heat iron/steel to forging temps with added air. You don't really need all the fancy stuff, that just makes it easier. Start cheap and see if it is something you will be serious about getting into, before making the investment in forges, anvil, tongs, extra hammers, higher level machinery, etc...

[@joe1071]

[@hotfiyah]

@@joe1071 we're talking about the same thing. In order to achieve this "flow state" you have to be a master at your craft. You have to be so familiar with what you're doing that you don't even think about what you're doing and instead it's almost like your muscle memory takes over and your body just does what it knows how to do without thinking, or you could say it "flows" out of you. Your mind just tunes everything else out and the only thing that exists in that moment is you and the task. People who can achieve this are often told they make whatever they are doing look easy.

[@JoeBananas77]

No one can duplicate this. 💯💪

[@MtnBadger]

Tapping the hammer on the anvil between strikes does several things, it helps keep the hammer (and your arm) in motion which conserves energy compared to stopping the hammer between strikes. It also saves you from wearing out your arm so quickly. Also, tapping the hammer keeps it moving in time with your strikes to speed up your work effort again, while simultaneously using less energy. And it sounds cool. 😉 A tip to anyone using a hammer on a regular basis. Especially while you're just learning to use a hammer in the first place, learn to hammer with *both* hands, it will be equally awkward that way. You'll save wear and tear on your arms/shoulders, extend your ability to perform much later in life and most importantly... You'll be able to attack the work piece from both sides and all angles making your work much more efficient, effective and improve your overall performance. I was giving a demonstration one day and a man who had looked away for a little while turned back around and after watching for a moment, said "hey, weren't you using your left hand a minute ago!??" And I just said "yup." Je then started hoe he wished he had leaned to do that, then he wouldn't have bursitis and need a shoulder surgery to keep moving his arm. It feels weird at first but trust me, learning to use both hands when you work is extremely rewarding in the long run, we'll worth the effort and, it makes people jealous. 😉

[@brianallison1913]

I've myself found that while working on something and needing to bend a piece of metal to a shape I need on an anvil or the like it really does help doing those side taps. It does help a lot with the placement of the intended swing and it's result. But, in this case, it's also keeping the head clear of deposits. As a final note, I bet it would be pretty awesome to hear Eazy E rapping to a blacksmith beat.
