Forging the Pipe Lock part 2

[@pjamestx]

Really liking this series, and appreciate you splitting them up into these lengths, each episode is a good amount of video to watch at once.

[@BlackBearForge]

I like the idea of smaller segments. But I also find that each video in the series gets fewer views than the previous one

[@PermireFabrica]

@@BlackBearForge This is a common effect in the YT-World. I got the same conclusion, but the reasons I really love your videos is, because you don't skip time as much in the editing like a lot of others. Thanks to that the video is great for teaching us Blacksmith beginners.

[@JohnSmith-tv9zu]

Absolutely fantastic channel and your second channel is brilliant too!! It's just like going round your uncles place and he's showing you the family trade. The lock looks like old fashioned handcuffs

[@jimtalbot3989]

Dennis is also a great teacher, and a fellow Ontarian!

[@terrycarwile6499]

You and "DF" have some of the best content out there. This is a wonderful series, thanks!

[@davidhillman7004]

Love watching dennis also but his youtube stopped long ago.

[@NeilGraham.I.M.F]

I am really liking this project. No complicated processes but an intermediate complexity when it comes to the overall Build. It seems like a very fun and frustrated challenge.

[@brysonalden5414]

Your first video inspired me to order the book from Pieh, but as you say they got a run on them and are back ordered. Your popularity knows no bounds, obviously! Looking forward to more locks from you.

[@tobyjo57]

Clever stuff and quite inricate, i'm watching out for part 3. Thanks for the demo John

[@mtyson9004]

Very cool John! Thanks for sharing and God Bless you sir!

[@thesprinkleddonutforge2774]

Great project John! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. You are an inspiration to all us smiths out here

[@Hunter30394]

What a fun series. Keep it coming!

[@alexlyons2201]

Man I am so glad I found this channel, it inspired me to go back to forging after my forge broke and I didn't have the heart to fix it

[@thingmaker3]

I'm pretty sure a socket or nut driver would work just as well on an equilateral triangle as it would on a hexagon - assuming one fit. That could be really handy if one looses the key! Excellent presentation as always, John!

[@BlackBearForge]

True. using a socket cap screw and Allen wrench would be a quick and simple solution as well

[@grandadz_forge]

I'm enjoying this. Been enjoying researching Viking locks. cool stuff, Gotta get that book

[@thecreativecraftingtable8658]

Beautiful work! You are a great craftsman.

[@BlackBearForge]

Thanks,

[@jonharwood9390]

Another neat project John! Thanks for sharing!

[@trollforge]

I made a couple of these for the living history site I was farm manager at, about 30 years ago. If you put the rivet through the ears, and then hang the shackle off the out side, you can trim the shackle to aesthetically pleasing proportions before cutting the hole in the tube, leaving a smaller hole to fill with show and ice...

[@kognitivhulkster4624]

i love your videos - so much i can learn. Thanks Sir!

[@BlackBearForge]

You are very welcome

[@Carterironworks]

Great job on the lock and info. I love df in the shop, he's got some great videos also

[@OuroborosArmory]

DF is one of my favorite youTubers.. I would love to get a book of his. His lock box video is on my list of “things to make” because it is AWSOME. I will be buying this book

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Good morning John, it’s coming around good ! Looking forward to seeing the completed project. Thanks for sharing with us.👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@azza1946]

Hey John loving the videos! I can't help but think if the lock body was made from solid bar stock and you drilled the centre at one end the size of the locking bolt and to a certain depth, there would be support and alignment for the locking bolt and give it something to bottom out on too.

[@Alex-ow6hk]

Wow, I don’t know if you changed camera or lighting but the colour in this video looks very deep and rustic... I love it.

[@BlackBearForge]

Nothing I'm aware of. Often just the change in the light coming in from outside

[@matthiasherzog5201]

I like how you also show what doesn't work, why it didn't and what could (and can) be improved. Again I'm really eager to see how this lock turns out. P.S. I thought you brought your hacksaw up to forging temperature when I saw it at 2:45.

[@thomasarussellsr]

Hahaha, red blade... hahaha!

[@TheOldaz1]

Strong and simple, ideal for farm gates. Thanks John.

[@douglasfathers4848]

Looking good John I will be making a few of these . That look like a good skill builder . looking forward to the key build . (:

[@Smallathe]

Awesome project. Df in the shop is awesome!

[@thejosuchav]

Such a cool project!

[@aticuss]

Looks great.

[@johnjude2685]

Yes this is a challenge looks simple,As you say details can add lots of work and time to a project Thanks for the Teaching as someone on the committee said DF in the Forge also shows some lock builds.

[@leedeal7301]

Just got my nc anvil and Ken's custom tongs in today,ready for some smithing

[@leedeal7301]

Thanks for the advice

[@djb341]

Hi John Knowing your interest in Viking artefacts, you should try making some Viking padlocks, there’s lots of designs to choose from.

[@bobvines00]

John, "Artisan Ideas" also has this book in stock, and a new edition will be in stock in December 2020. I only discovered Denis' channel "DF - In the Shop" only a few days ago and subscribed there too. This looks like a very interesting project to try!

[@frankgaletzka8477]

Hello John Teachfull Video Thanks for that Yours Frank

[@jorgesolis8921]

Excelente trabajo, te felicito.

[@SpeedyCM]

Thanks for the heads up on the book, I googled it after watching the first video but all that came up were used ones wanting $400 and up.

[@BlackBearForge]

It amazes me what people try to get for used books that are still in print

[@Edwinthemountainman8454]

Nice job btw i realy like your video on trade tomahawk amazing 👏👍👍

[@ahab145]

I know someone probably already said it but it would be really cool if you'd send it to the lockpickinglawyer

[@monkeywr4ith]

Nah, not that interesting of a pick for LPL I think. Bosnian Bill did one of this type recently though

[@lo5042mh]

The book is also available at Artisian ideas. A new revised and expanded 2nd edition of this book should be available in mid-december 2020.

[@jasonsnyder9394]

Very cool project John. Nicely done as always. Oh, btw, nice Kendama on the shelf. What's your preference, Sweets, Krom, Kendama USA? Lol.

[@BlackBearForge]

Thats something I haven't explored in enough depth to have a preference

[@WV3V]

@@BlackBearForge No worries. Fun to practice hand/eye coordination with but so is smithing. Happy Holidays. Forge On! Ok

[@sollie511]

Would wrapping the eye the opposite direction towards the inside of the hasp prevent the opening of the eye?

[@BlackBearForge]

Possibly, but the problem can happen in either direction. It happens with hinge eyes occasionally

[@sollie511]

@@BlackBearForge so a welded eye is really the solution, although maybe not "cost" effective on this style lock?

[@BlackBearForge]

Probably a punched eye. But it seems like rolled eyes are common for these simple locks

[@thomasarussellsr]

I think to prevent the pivot eye opening, I'll have the eye roll the other way when I bend the big U so if it overheats during the rioting process, it will try to tighten rather than unwind. It obviously can not tighten smaller than the size of the rivot, so no real issue I can foresee there. Any thoughts on that John?

[@BlackBearForge]

There is still the same risk, just reversed 180 degrees

[@georgegriffiths2235]

I have watched a lot of the DF videos and have yet to watch one of lock videos have you seen Big dogs handcuffs 😊

[@TheWaynew2]

John, "The spruce forge" is $847.00 on Amazon. Yikes.

[@BlackBearForge]

I"d buy the new one fro $25 from one of the blacksmithing suppliers

[@MarkATrombley]

Having an ad free patreon version would have been nice but I have already watched this in sections so won't be watching it on patreon.

[@BlackBearForge]

My goal is to get far enough ahead that I can post the Patreon version a week early
