Scrap bucket Candle Sconce

[@SpryGuy289]

Someone give this gentleman a television show already!!!!

[@dalekidd420]

One of the things I truly enjoy about blacksmithing is having that ability to take a steel or iron "something" and transform it into a useful "something else".

[@BrianEltherington]

Love how you know how to take the crap out of scrap. Nothing wasted and beautiful result!

[@lonnieporter8566]

Simple, elegant, beautiful, functional. It doesn't get any better than that!

[@3870TheDad]

As usual, your work with "reserved treasures" has yielded a beautiful item. Thank you.

[@zakhickman2371]

Once I get to working metal my wife will enjoy these around the house and yard

[@GodschildinNC]

Really enjoy watching you be creative! You are so real about it, so when you could not get it into the shape you wanted, you told us and gave the fix. Keep up the good work.

[@willsouthdakota5153]

I'm glad to see you are back to the buckets. I miss the Sunday bucket videos

[@glencrandall7051]

There is no such thing as scrap. They are off-cuts looking for a new project. 🙂 Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.

[@Jay-kk2rd]

I’m loving your scrap bucket series John. And the additional video mid-week is a nice treat as well. Thank you.

[@BlackBearForge]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ga5743]

Wow John that came out sweeeeet………I’ll bet the scraps in those buckets shout out “pick me, pick me “ when they see you coming 😀

[@stephenborders4654]

I like your imaginative approach to what you make as well as your relaxed work pace. Thanks for another great lesson.

[@threeriversforge1997]

I have to admit, I love going through my bucket of scraps, trying to remember what some oddball piece was supposed to have been for. Great candle holder, John. I really enjoy seeing how you move the iron.

[@dartvader9939]

Fun project John I liked the reverse twist! Nice touch

[@danimalscreationsandadvent8049]

Always love the scrap bucket forgings! It's a great way to show what can be done with stuff that many would just throw away. I always try to hang onto any useable cutoffs, because I never know when I'll need that one piece! Always look forward to your next video John, keep up the awesome work!

[@randallwalter9778]

Looks Awesome, Mr. Switzer. Hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

[@waynemitchell8254]

I really appreciate the amount of effort that goes into good quality camera angles and editing. Thank you for this

[@BlackBearForge]

I appreciate that!

[@jeffreystacy867]

Interesting to find out where the mind of an artist is going to go. I say this in the very best way

[@ericericson4]

It is always fun to watch a craftsman when he is allowed to be an artist.

[@williamellis8993]

Everything about this looks great, John. Bill

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Nice, I love the scrap bucket ideas.

[@waynemitchell8254]

Thank you for another video, Can’t wait to watch it

[@bigernbladesmith]

I love these scrap bucket projects you do.

[@als8326]

Wow very enjoyable watching you take a piece of metal / scrap iron and make it into something very nice thank you for your talent and sharing of it great video

[@dmckenzie9281]

Very nice piece! I enjoy the scrap buckets. It has always made me feel good when I can make something from scrap or left overs.

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Enjoying these scrap metal challenge videos John. Can't wait to see more videos soon John. Hopefully the future owners get great use out of it for many years to come my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge on. Keep making. God bless.

[@quentinbergstad2256]

You scrap bucket videos are some of my favorites you do. Being a farmer that does some blacksmithing from time to time i love seeing what you come up with from scrap.

[@Moondog-wc4vm]

I would love another scrap bucket series from John. I've got a large scrap pile myself and have really enjoyed adapting a few of the ideas he has thrown out before. Even had one or two useful projects come out of his hooks series.

[@slesarka_art]

Вечер добрый ! вы хороший мастер , спасибо за науку !

[@michaelrowland1326]

Last weekend did a forging project with my grandson the first one we've done together. I want to thank you for showing me simple easy projects that my 15-year-old grandson could do with me. He's looking forward to the next time you visits to do more blacksmithing, hearing him talk to his parents and his brothers I can definitely say he's got the blacksmith bug. LOL

[@chrisstanton5829]

Loving every BBF video, and this candle sconce is awesome, can't wait to try it, thx!

[@pjamestx]

Scrap of the week!!! I'm still impressed by how a few simple chisel lines can really add a nice decorative element to the final piece. Another great project!

[@paulorchard7960]

Useful treasures, I have a bucket of them including the unfinished treasure I don’t remember, not 20 years old though! Yeh, useful treasure, that exactly what I tell my wife!

[@Borland12345]

I enjoy the scrap heap videos, John. Been watching your videos for years now and I'm always impressed with how efficient you are when you forge. Good stuff.

[@BlackBearForge]

Thanks 👍

[@TheDistur]

That's experience for you!

[@douglasfathers4848]

No plan just an idea and I'm finding that I'm enjoying my self more in the work shop . Always pleaser watching your videos John , so thank you for the inspiration . Cheers . :)

[@johnneykrew]

Yep! Gonna have to give that one a shot.

[@GypsyJvan]

nice video, thanks..im always collecting scrap pieces.. Black Art Forge..

[@ericdouglas9804]

Love it. As with the “hook of the week “ videos, it gives us other ideas for “scraps “ and with the price of steel today, the scrap bucket is a great source for projects

[@ahmadfiruzofficial9928]

Its been long time sir...best wishes to you this year...what a handsome candle holder....

[@CarlJohnson-ry3gc]

THANK you for sharing!!

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks for sharing with us John, the candle sconce turned out great. Stay safe and keep having fun with the forge. Fred.

[@TheDistur]

Real nice work as always!

[@thefarfiles]

Thanks John

[@schmiedemesser_Jasmine]

Very cool and entertaining video! I really enjoy your calm and engaging way of presenting your work! All the best for the future!!

[@Smallathe]

Wonderful!

[@danbreyfogle8486]

I like it!!! Very attrative...

[@deryiousbarzee627]

Good morning

[@8023120SL]

They’re not “scrap buckets”, they’re buckets of potential!

[@traildust55]

I haven't counted how many buckets of "useful treasures" i have around. I should count how many are eliminated as I follow the inspiration you keep giving me...

[@yeagerxp]

Well done 👍👍👍. Thanks for sharing

[@BlackBearForge]

Thanks for watching

[@gurvinderkau1e5w18]

Hello sir. Glad to talk to u again.Taking care of my daughter she is not well. Great video. Love the chisel work and twist. Great video👍👍🔥🔥🔥

[@BlackBearForge]

Its good to hear from you, sorry about your daughter. Wishing you all the best

[@renaissancewomanfarm9175]

I love this! But my house wifey side keeps worrying about it not having a drip cup. LOL. But I think it will be the perfect project for the extra battery operated "candles" that I bought at Christmas time.

[@colvinwellborn]

Loved the video John. I'm also really looking forward to more outdoor cooking apparatus projects!

[@GypsyJvan]

i worked for the RR (CSX)...30 yrs... as a carmen.. Black Art Forge..

[@MrTroxel]

I really liked this episode, even more than your usual content, for several reasons. I liked you talking through your creative process, such as when you talked about why you added the twist design, and I also think is very fun and creative that you made something out of your scrap bucket. I hope we get more like this in the future

[@judbyry]

Damn thats nice!

[@Fogyt121]

I love that sconce, might even try my hand at making one. Can a socketed spearhead be found in that scrap bucket?

[@CaptRons18thcentury]

Hmmm…. Might have to make one of these….

[@benstolzenberger6370]

wonderful work out of(what some plp think is) scrap... Greetings and appreciation from Germany! :D

[@BlackBearForge]

Glad you like it!

[@garageworksongsawesomeness7002]

Love your vids i have learned a lot. Nice wall sconce. I saw a round piece in the first bucket. As a suggestion could you show that being turned into a bowl or pan of some sort please? As alway thank you for sharing your skills and wisdom.

[@BlackBearForge]

Great suggestion!

[@diggingga6197]

bear your awesome.Hey have you ever heard of a turnip hook knife..?

[@frankheger5185]

👍🍻

[@codysingleton9097]

Comment number 2 and good morning

[@bearshield7138]

This was marvelous fun!!! I saw the flower stamp you made for Christmas gifts. That would look good on the candle holder. Do you have anything in your scrap bucket that of yours to build a hand driven spoon auger or auger drill that could be used to make musical instruments. I saw one used to bore out a Fujara but now see how it could be used for any of the flutes I like to build. Or it could be used for making didgeridoo, small drums, and whistles. Do you have any advice on how to build a flute maker's spoon auger or long drill for boring flutes and things?

[@warrenmunn3224]

If you take a project to the grinder to finish/clean-up the edges but want to the piece to have the complete forged look, not having a smooth, shiny surface, will heating it and brushing it a couple of times remove the ground surface finish or would you have to take a hammer to it to give the authentic forged look?

[@BlackBearForge]

Scaling it up in the forge helps some, but it never completely hides the grinding look

[@jamesddiana2897]

Can you make stainless steal chopsticks 24 inches long square at top round pointed bottom

[@johnjude2685]

Nothing is junk if on city property it's recycling materials and if it's in a citizen's place it's junk and unsightly in the city's eyes. Great to reporpous anytime you can Thanks

[@patrickroy414]

I'm interested in the hold down you are using here. Do you have details of this?

[@BlackBearForge]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJ3biniKppZ7bMk

[@duncemonkey14]

Suggestions for books on black smithing,anyone?

[@BlackBearForge]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/apa4eomlbKqFiNk

[@elliotwhite32]

When is the next mastermyr project?

[@BlackBearForge]

Hard to say. When ever the mood strikes me I guess

[@honthirty_]

Saw the detail marking & thought "he is going to put an X between those chisled lines and dot the angles". Surprise. Nope.

[@BlackBearForge]

Perhaps in tomorrows video

[@honthirty_]

@@BlackBearForge And he DID!

[@jeremypmpm]

Love the videos... but that looks like a fire hazard... 8)

[@buckwildebeest398]

You'd kick ass on Forged in Fire. "It will kiyll."

[@goshnodo]

Great video
