Angle iron shelf and key hooks - Hook of the Week 10

[@warrenclay7460]

John, I find myself waiting for the hook of the week to post before I get out to my forge to work. Thank you very much for your inspiration and instructions.

[@reigninoel]

I'm not sure if that thing technically qualifies as "a bucket" anymore... ;)

[@johnjude2677]

John you do have many skills (might be from doing your choirs) but just love to see your mix of blacksmith skills and mix of your vase amout of knollege of toolings.You alway treat all skills levval as inportant Thank you Sir

[@ga5743]

Love the "go back in the bucket" statement, we don't want to run out of scraps too soon. Nice hook unit John. That's the fourth on my to do list!

[@thomasarussellsr]

I rather like this triple hook set with top shelf. Nicely done. Now to figure out where to add a holder for the lock de-icer for getting back into my van when the locks freeze in the winter. Hmm.

[@shadetreeforge]

watch hook of the week, and then 2 days later Open forge night! all this on the heels of a 3 day WRABA yearly conference featuring Patrick Quinn and Eric Monasterio ! What a week it's been!

[@joehughes3664]

You have a great imagination. Really interesting to watch. Thanks again for a great video.

[@danielcrawford7315]

Like the project. Seems multi useful for sure. 🙏 blessings to ya now Crawford out 🧙‍♂️

[@Zogg1281]

Another hook that I really like and want to make....... it's probably a good thing that I like hooks as that's going to be the main thing I do because of my back problems 🙂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@jjppres]

John I really enjoy this series. Hope you keep it going for some time to come. I really like the way you look through the bucket and think of how you can use items for different types of hooks. Sort of teaches thinking outside the box. Thank you for that!

[@BlackBearForge]

I have lots of buckets of odd bits, so I think we will keep going as long as people keep watching

[@IslandMetalForge]

Inspiration! I have need for this!

[@1averageamerican]

Very cool and useful. The way you upset the tops gives the hooks a mini railroad spike look.

[@danielchandler15]

John over here playing hookie on Sunday. Ha I couldn't resist. I really enjoyed this one though man. It has a lot of potential hopefully you will revisit this one someday. Thank ya.

[@joshfolsom7920]

Thanks for the time and effort, hook of the week is my new favorite series. 🔥⚒ Keep hammering!

[@rbfcaf]

John I just love the hook of the week videos, the uses you find from one bucket inspire us. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@grandadz_forge]

Really loving Hook Of The Week. Thanks Mr. Switzer

[@BlackBearForge]

Thanks

[@fauseth]

John, you are an incredibly cool guy. Thank you for the video.

[@krisley5178]

That turned out great! I'd like that at my house too!

[@Bobsutubes]

Very nice series of videos. I find them very interesting, and informative. Thx...

[@erniebeswick7675]

I love this hook of the week.i have and bet many others do also have a bucket full of treasure.thanks for all your teaching

[@random40s]

Awesome hook! I've been tossing around the same idea for a while. We have lots of small drops of angle iron around, and now I'm commented to makeing a a few of these. I've always liked the hook, and shelf combos that are ususally just inside of people's doors, and this is a fantastic way to get creative with scraps of angle iron. I'll probably just keep it more or less flat on the top tho, but hammer texture the whole thing, and brass brush the edges of the shelf, and tips of the hooks for hilights. Great video as always 👍! It seems like a LOT of your viewers absolutely love this series as much as I do, so keep the hooks coming! Also I feel like I should send you a proper bucket, and some more "useful treasures" to insure the series continues. Haha 😂

[@BlackBearForge]

It was the condition of the bucket that prompted the series. It had to go, so why not use what was in it instead of replacing the bucket. Once its empty I have a few more buckets to chose from, so we should be doing these for quite some time

[@Joseph4499]

I think this is my favorite of the hooks so far. Not saying the others aren’t great as well. I think this one speaks to me because I have made a similar one out of wood. Now I would like to try my hand at making one with steel to match it.

[@bartweir1789]

Really enjoying this series. And there's a good chance this one makes the to-do list.

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

That’s really cool, you can hang your keys and put your wallet on top! I really like that! 👍🏻

[@bentoombs]

Awsome. I made a bracket with hooks for a wood top for my recliner. All scrap. Great ideas John. ⚒on!!!

[@scoobshagg]

John great idea. I happen to have a piece of angle iron I think I'll make one of these as well.

[@mattblevins7919]

I look forward to these every week. I watch while I'm folding the weekly laundry before I head out to the forge for the day

[@larryking606]

Good Afternoon , John This was one of Your more Inventive Hooks ! It stands out a Bit More ! Thank you for the inspiration ! Take Care and Be Safe ! Keep Hammering !

[@douglasfathers4848]

Real'y like the rustic look of this hook I well be making some for my shop thanks for the idea

[@gurvinderkau1e5w18]

Another great hook sir.Beatiful design👍🏻

[@danbreyfogle8486]

Very nice, if this is an example of a "not very well thought out" project I am anxious to see a well thought out one. I think it turned out fantastic.

[@lukespread]

Hook of the week has become my favorite part of your channel. Good going, John.

[@matthewt88]

Calling that a bucket seems a bit generous.

[@NjalLaing]

That is beautiful, thanks for sharing

[@steelpennyforge5152]

That is a pretty smart use of the angle! I was wondering how you would tackle that one. This series just keeps getting more creative! Well done!

[@mariothegreat4197]

this is a very nice idea, id love to have one of these in my house

[@andywright2606]

Nice job John, I really like this hook and shelf idea. Well done

[@BigWillSD]

That turned out awesome!! Im going to be so sad when that buckets empty

[@BlackBearForge]

I have a few more buckets

[@BigWillSD]

@@BlackBearForge AWESOME!!

[@wayneshirey6999]

Best junk bucket project so far.

[@megadwood18]

that's not a bucket any more

[@AnonOmis1000]

Is there any good way of practicing the accuracy of your hammer blows? I haven't done any forging yet but I wouldnt be surprised if I couldnt hit the same place twice.

[@dustinholland2272]

U can find some scrap lumber a cheap box of nails and a good hammer. Hammer ever nail into that board. Keep track of your hits per nail to sink it. Try and sink each consecutive one with less game blows til u get down to the same number of blows for every nail.

[@BlackBearForge]

Dustins idea is a good one. I was a frame carpenter before I was a blacksmith. So pounding nails really helps

[@kittenkagome1]

Came out very good!

[@johnymangum9351]

I am going to be sad when that bucket is empty lol

[@BlackBearForge]

I have more buckets

[@johnymangum9351]

@@BlackBearForge yay

[@richardkent3344]

I hope you find another bucket when that one runs out.these are great projects for a beginner like myself. Thanks for sharing.

[@BlackBearForge]

I have several more buckets to go to

[@charginghawkforge3618]

I'm loving that creation! Simply awesome!

[@billy19461]

Where did you wind up putting your touch mark?

[@BlackBearForge]

I never went back to it. Since I will keep it for our house, I figured I wouldn't mind

[@NeilGraham.I.M.F]

Love it! Atleast i got 2 watch it on sunday this week, although in the evening. Last week I didn't get to watch it till Monday through off my whole weekend

[@JesusisLord-7A]

"Over the door" triple hook. Just an idea for a "Hook of the Week" project

[@sbjennings99]

Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls

[@richardsolomon8076]

Thanks for hooking up my Monday again John, pity on the touch mark tho it does add to caricature :-) very functional

[@Nick-xm1ux]

Alright THIS is cool! Now I know what to do with the huge section of angle iron I have! :)

[@JF-fx2qv]

Hand made is never to rough looking. It'll make a nice little key holder.

[@multicoloredwiz]

love this project a lot. very glad to get to see em!

[@jimburnsjr.]

Love your show bud...want to buy a coffee cup as soon as I can.

[@timwambeke9938]

Well I'm the lucky guy to wind up with this beautiful piece! I cant honestly believe that no one bought this a year ago! Thanks john I think I'll get another tshirt soon.

[@BlackBearForge]

Glad you like it! It took me a year to get it listed for sale. You jumped on it within a day or two. Thanks.

[@Dreadnought9411]

Question please...isn't a set hammer pretty much do the same work as a "flatter"?

[@BlackBearForge]

Similar, but the set hammer is better at refining shoulders

[@TheTrashologist]

18:10 - Is that your plate of “chips” for lunch in the background?

[@BlackBearForge]

My oil can drips, so I let it drip in that old lid and of course the oil attracts the chips

[@jimhartley491]

The large steel block you use on your drill press…is that fixed to the base or just sitting there?

[@BlackBearForge]

It just sits there, but it can easily be clamped down if needed

[@kensmapleleafretirement]

Good one...... Thank-you......

[@thinkford]

What kind of rivets did he use?

[@stanervin6108]

Love forging angle! But my fav size is 1/2×1/2 heavy (hard to find). Twists great!🐾🔥⚒

[@jimdunkle4823]

thanks for the video

[@AlbiesProductsOnline]

With the last piece of angle iron please use it by its self to make a 4 tine grappling hook

[@BlackBearForge]

I'm not sure how that would go. You must have seen one done that way before to have thought of it.

[@lenblacksmith8559]

Came out good John
