Slide bolt part 2 final forging and assembly

[@83gt17]

First video outside of machining channels where someone actually knows what a bottoming tap is. And gas welding!

I like the little reminder to wait for the last 30 seconds. It's like it was meant just for me. I'm watching right to the end before commenting anymore. Great video. I have to make a bunch of bolts for my shed. It's like you're inside my head.

[@hawk5148]

You've become my favorite blacksmith to watch. Your videos are always inspirational and put together well. I've learned a lot from you which has helped my own smithing.

[@BlackBearForge]

Thank you I appreciate the comment

[@grandadz_forge]

I like this kind of forgings. Always learn a new tidbit

[@larryking606]

[@BlackBearForge]

No problem. I still like hearing from people enjoying the videos

[@lenblacksmith8559]

Gee that came out so good, and it looks rustic on the door, a real time honored piece John, love your work

[@danbreyfogle8486]

Fantastic!! And I enjoyed the last bit of humor, "As the bolt slides"

[@luukderksen8810]

You have opened new doors for me!!! Thanks!!!

[@shortfuse43]

Beautiful job on the latch...you are a true artisan!

[@krisley5178]

Great video series! Well done. Also, coming from 30 years in Tool & Die....throw your 4-flute taps in the garbage. Get yourself some 2-flute taps. The only thing a 4-flute is good for is chasing already existing threads. Believe me, once you've broken off a crappy 4-flute tap in something that you've worked really hard on, you'll understand.

Die grinder and filling is a good spot for a short music clip. :) But then I can turn my volume up and down also. Great video!

[@odd-]

I love the look of the finished product. I was curious as to how the slide handle was going to look, but it really does give it a unique look that’s nice. Great work again sir.

[@hannemannironworks1651]

Looks great John!

[@сергейчерепанов-и8ж]

Классно молодец мне нравится что работает ручным слесарным инструментом нажовка,напильники.

[@steelpennyforge5152]

Great classic design! Awesome job

[@danielcrawford7315]

Looking pretty snazzy there Mr. John. Pretty sure the escape kitty 🐱 will have a tough time defeating this latch 🙏blessings upon ya now, Crawford out 🧙‍♂️

[@jls191]

Nice project John. Now I want to make one for my basement screen door!!

[@Res375]

As the bolt slides part 3 cant wait. Good video thank you

[@canuckloyalist4681]

Holy crap those Milwaukee die grinders must be handy!

[@brettphillips3091]

As the bolt slides, love it

[@douglasfathers4848]

HI John nice latch I have seen a lot things made out of steel but when i see how you do it i am amazed you say your not a master YER OK well in Australia we say we are the JACK of all trades but masters of none hammer on master jack

[@johnkelly7264]

You are just so easy to watch, and my goto smith for helpful and interesting comment.. subbed here!

[@jandastroy]

I like your short handled tap. I'm always afraid I'm going to break things using the longer handle that is on my junk one.

[@NeilGraham.I.M.F]

Nice idea put into practical use

[@sbjennings99]

Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls

[@brettsayers7768]

Fantastic latch, that will keep the cat fooled for a little while. ;~)

[@BlackBearForge]

We’ll see. They’re pretty smart

[@Roscoe3721]

Looks great!

[@kensmapleleafretirement]

Thank you...

[@mage8838]

Unusual to see gas welding any more. Like your work.

[@BlackBearForge]

Thank. I think gas feels like a better fit in forged work. But TIG would be as good if you ha e it.

[@waltparkhurst2494]

Slide bolt looks great. Hopefully the cat don't learn the electric slide and open up the door. Just a little humor.

[@BlackBearForge]

They’re pretty smart

[@robarcher3892]

Another good video. It was good to watch something like that come together. What kind of filler rod was used in the welding? I just hope the cat can't reach the screws. They are some smart animals.

[@BlackBearForge]

RG45 if I remember correctly. Bailing wire also work

[@willrombilus2491]

One day my old dog was laying next to my anvil and i accidentally dropped a bar of hot iron on her and she made a bolt for the door 😉

[@Hoaxer51]

Will, I’ll bet your old dog made that bolt faster than ole John did!

[@Loan--Wolf]

black bear forge keeping cats out and bears in sense 2019

[@filipadrian6912]

Something is wrong with the lite you're kind of purple in the beginning of the video, great video by the way as always

[@BlackBearForge]

Odd

[@mikepettengill2706]

great handle, is there version of this that would go on a door that is flush with the wall and opens out? Or do you just put the fancy handle on the other side for those? (closet door)

[@BlackBearForge]

I’ll show that at some point. But for the most part it’s just a surface mounted keeper like the bolt slides it.

[@1956vern]

Lol Nice smithing!

[@bogomir67]

We are going to address spring loaded bolts asson asthe cat figures out this one :-)

[@moistwalrus649]

First

[@jackshadow325]

“As the Bolt Slides” doesn’t sound suitable for children 😀

[@jagboy69]

Step away from the file! I promise, we won't think any less of you if you use a powered sanding tool.
