Fleur-de-lis Strap Hinge

[@rocklicker639]

I wish "WE" never left this sort of thing in the past. Thanks for keeping it alive!

[@AxeAndAnvil]

Agreed! Thank you!

[@wobbadubbaskyrim]

the only thing i could focus on in the intro was that kitched aid in the background, that is a fricking beautiful machine!

[@AxeAndAnvil]

Haha!

[@Lmr6973]

The best background music in the world. A happy kid having a good time.

[@andrewreist4915]

Glad to see that you also get ideas from one of my favorite books, "Early American Wrought Iron"

[@AxeAndAnvil]

It is a wonderful book!

[@juanacevedo3007]

[@sambow4u]

WOW !!!!! Super Cool Craftsmanship !

[@AxeAndAnvil]

Thank you!

[@vincentmundy6860]

Wow! Beautiful work! And all by hand using traditional methods! You sir, are a true craftsman! And I hope to try something like this next time I light my forge 😁👍 thank you for your inspiration! Best wishes from England

[@AxeAndAnvil]

Thank you Vincent!

[@johndilsaver8409]

Nice video, very instructive, thanks for posting this!

[@catherineasselin7986]

Yeah, merci beaucoup. I'm new on this channel and I find it very interesting. I'm working next week on 3 decorative strap hing with fleur de lys end. I never welded barel before, I think I will try, Keep forging, from nord est Canada

[@AxeAndAnvil]

Thank you! Good luck on your hinges!

[@TheKkrh]

Ok this has got to be the most masterful shaping I’ve ever seen! You can see how many door hinges you have made! Excellent work sir!

[@AxeAndAnvil]

Well thank you! Funny thing is I’m not that good, and haven’t made very many hinges 😂

[@markirish7599]

Beautiful craftsmanship. Best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@gabrielcraig8891]

Enjoyed this video. Thanks

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Nice work, buddy.

[@AxeAndAnvil]

Thank you!

[@Canada1608]

Awesome work! Good job!

[@christianmonkelbaan3537]

Great work! Love watching you work together and the atmosphere was calm and fun. What a funny ending this video had!

[@stantilton2191]

Keeping your cooling can on your near side of the anvil. You don't have to reach over the hot iron to cool your punch. I've been there, yes. Nice work.

[@AxeAndAnvil]

Thanks. No room on the anvil stump on the near side- and eventually there won't be anywhere on it. I have been meaning to make a can that clips on the anvil strapping, just haven't gotten to it. Not a big enough problem to bother me.

[@danimalscreationsandadvent8049]

Early on while working on the eye of the first piece, you said "if I was really good I could do this in 1 heat". From watching you work, you ARE really good. I just recently found your channel, and after watching only a couple videos so far, I love watching you work! You work quickly and efficiently and produce beautiful work! You have definitely become one of my favorite blacksmiths to watch and begin to learn from. I've made my metal art using a torch, grinder, welder, hammer, and other tools needed in the past, but my fascination with the art of blacksmithing has increased dramatically in recent months, and I'm looking forward to producing many things using what I've learned from some of my favorite blacksmiths on KZbin! I'm currently trying to finish up my first coal forge build, and I can't wait to put it to use! I'll have a video of it when I can finally get it finished. Thank you for the great content you put out, Daniel

[@AxeAndAnvil]

Man, I really appreciate that! Glad you are enjoying the videos. Best wishes on your journey into blacksmithing Daniel!

[@Bluegrass45]

Golden at the end , beautiful work !

[@broadusthompson1666]

Oh man! I’ve totally forgot about the joys and pains of using a pritchel hole!

[@AxeAndAnvil]

Yes, if I get a couple of Jymm Hoffman's colonials, I'm gonna miss the pritchel.

[@marcsenteney3160]

Well done sir!

[@AxeAndAnvil]

Thank you Marc!

[@marcsenteney3160]

I just discovered your KZbin channel and spent the night watching most of the posts. I look forward to seeing your future posts and projects!

[@andrewjaye2981]

Great video. I love the craft, and love to learn from experienced hands.

[@paulorchard7960]

Really nice work! Hope we get to see them mounted!

[@AxeAndAnvil]

Thank you! Definitely! Still don’t have the doors or the other three hinges made yet lol

[@SchysCraftCo.]

They turn out very well. Very nice project. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On God Bless

[@AxeAndAnvil]

Thank you Jared!

[@pinkiebrain7597]

I love it! The video AND the hinge. 👍 Good work Jordan!

[@AxeAndAnvil]

Thanks Brian! Can't take credit for the video- Bo is good at what he does!

[@mikaelsaaf6719]

Wow, that's beutiful work! I've been following you on Instagram sens I do a bit of hoby forging at home, love this video!

[@AxeAndAnvil]

Thank you!

[@salleecreekworkshop]

Nice work. I learned a ton just by watching this. I haven't tried hinges. Just subscribed.

[@AxeAndAnvil]

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@loganrichards6276]

This is so amazing and informative, thank you so much for making this video, I just got my first anvil upgrade from a railroad track, can’t wait to learn to do stuff like this one day

[@AxeAndAnvil]

You got it! Start practicing!

[@BarrRunForge]

Well done. Great work. Looking forward to much more. God bless.

[@TheAdventureCowboy]

Very neat.

[@robgadbois1282]

Great work, very nice strap hinges

[@AxeAndAnvil]

Thank you Rob!

[@marcinlabno7061]

Again lovely video 👍👍

[@AxeAndAnvil]

Thank you!

[@hannemannironworks1651]

Great set of hinges!

[@AxeAndAnvil]

Thank you!

[@mickkrug2648]

Awesome! Great work! I’m glad that you chose that style hinge... I’d like to try that with gate work when I get set up more! ❤️

[@AxeAndAnvil]

Thanks Mick! I'd love to see what you come up with!

[@FinnGriffin]

Beautiful work!

[@AxeAndAnvil]

Thanks!

[@Hammerandhilt]

I've followed you on Instagram for some time, this is the first video I've watched of yours. Great job, this was really interesting to follow 👍

[@AxeAndAnvil]

Thanks Rob! Bo is doing such an excellent job on these videos. I'm proud of them!

[@Hammerandhilt]

@@AxeAndAnvil I'm looking forward to watching the backlog of videos I've missed, keep it up. I love traditional iron work.

[@filipponseele7346]

Nice work ,a fine workshop and good strikers. Just one remark? When you cut you have to finish the cut by lifting the shisel so to make sure you do not finish abruptly or your fleur -de-lis could snap of. Kind regards from Belgium Blacksmith Filip Ponseele- Knesselare

[@AxeAndAnvil]

Thanks Filip!

[@morralme]

Love your videos! they are very inspirational

[@AxeAndAnvil]

Thank you!

[@VolodymyrMetlyakov]

Amazing work! Keep the channel going, it deserves thousands times more viewers! Greetings from Ukraine! (and btw, love the background music in the end! :) )

[@AxeAndAnvil]

Haha thanks!

[@Carterironworks]

Great video sir, I really like that hinge and the decision on the pintle. What was the book you where looking at early in the video?

[@AxeAndAnvil]

Thanks Eric! Two books. "Early American Wrought Iron" by Albert Sonn, and "Colonial Wrought Iron: The Sorber Collection" by Don Plummer.

[@Carterironworks]

@@AxeAndAnvil I'll have to see if the library can bring them in, I don't have an extra house payment just lying around unfortunately.

[@AxeAndAnvil]

I don't either- but they are worth every penny- especially the Sonn book. I found a copy for $40 a while back, and Abebooks has it for $65 right now. It is a HUGE book. The Plummer book is definitely pricey at $215- my copy was given to me.

[@Carterironworks]

@@AxeAndAnvil I must have not looked in the right place, I found one for $200 and the other was$400-800

[@mattwyeth3156]

Are these hinges easier than the barrel hinge

[@AxeAndAnvil]

Not sure I understand- the socket in the strap on these is also called a barrel. Do you mean like a jointed hinge that has knuckles from both sides that are cut together? In that case I’d say yes.

[@nikemilon4374]

Hey if you would be so kind to name some books you use for inspiration

[@AxeAndAnvil]

There’s another video on the channel all about some of my favorite books
