Thank you everyone for the lovely comments (Aaron is my husband BTW), it is great to see that blacksmithing has so many fans.

[@danpatch4751]

Aaron has great skills and a nice shop. I want to build a forge very similar to the one in this video, looks to be very functional and nice looking.

Arron holds classes in that very shop. I have a two day course there and would definitely recommend it. He has a soft yet unique way of teaching. Go for it!

[@CelineBertin]

Great work! I remember interviewing you at St Fagans and your father in this workshop about 16 years ago! Many thanks!

[@ponkkaa]

Its amazing how soft and pliable the iron becomes. Truly a work of art.

[@bjornnjordson2986]

+SaikouHD You can start with a fire, a hair dryer, a bench vise, a pair of locking pliers, and a ball peen hammer. I started with these tools and made knives for the last 7 years. Now I'm branching out into making other items.

[@waysotto1395]

Спасибо за Ваше видео , очень понравилось , я попробовал повторить но у меня маленький газовый а не угольный горн и в таком порядке сделать не получалось , рога оттягиваю и закручиваю после формирования головы и с седьмого раза всё получилось , ещё раз спасибо за ролик ,

[@micjura2130]

Facile facile c est un métier 😉

[@5150Rockstar]

do you use borax as flux during the weld?

[@jens-eriklangstrand1689]

If I may - and no offend intended - it seems you are in the habbit of pushing the workpeace rather deep into the fire - thus taking up slag and burning the iron - hence the rugged surface texture ... otherwise grand work and very instructive!

[@jitsroller]

No offense intended but can you show us how you do it?

[@nitsuju5796]

My art teacher went to college which this guy

[@wessmith2361]

Where could you buy a forge like that?

[@Servevideo]

beautiful!.... but when i do it, its Always way harder then it looks.

[@damiaan7021]

+Serve Legeland practice

[@txinatox]

Precioso Spanish Beautiful

[@trudiferricfusion2413]

no but we do make them to order

[@stizan24]

That was cool. Too bad I'm still making ugly coal rakes and pointers. I made a decent gaff hook last time I fired up. I want to be more a blade smith but I like the animal heads. My forge is outside and I can't use it in winter. It looks as if it will fall over come the thaw with its in its first days. The first thing I need to do is make a proper stand for my fire pot and keep pounding until I get good.

[@Xxsamisthemanxx]

If I were you, and had a lot of spare time, I would put these on anything I could. sword? Ram-butted sword! Anything else? Ram head anything else!

[@ehinders2000]

they would make a nice gate if they were used as vertical pieces

[@boredinczechia4382]

I love being blacksmith

[@jsisrael130]

where can i learn to be a black smith?

[@boredinczechia4382]

In my country there are three schools where you can lear this job. It is four years long and even after four years there is so much to know about it. I have small company and every new day, every new contract is a new experiences.

[@jsisrael130]

[@boredinczechia4382]

no from czech republic

[@Jvek_]

Haja saco...

[@VanguardJester]

+SaikouHD luckly for you- the goverment will hopefuly start reserching time travel :D if they havent already anyways :P

[@trudiferricfusion2413]

no, no flux - not needed
