A quick guide on some basic twists to add some flare to your work

[@Little_River_Forge]

Made it look easy. Love that you don’t make it more complicated than it should be. 👍

[@UnsupervisedProduction]

I love that you go stright to the point. I've found that a lot of the backsmiths on youtube go on and on about nothing, when i just want to see how the task is done. Great video! Subscribed.

[@ohmahgawdfilms]

Oh man I love that cube twist! Subscribed with that. Thanks for letting me know about the pineapple twist as well!

[@BlueEternities]

I like your style. Quick and to the point. Really like the look of the square twist. Simple yet elegant.

[@Lucky_Shooter]

Extremely helpful, i am going to try that cube twist on one of my barn nails.

[@SolCrown80]

Thanks man, these are so cool! Some of them look really complex, but you did a great job simplifying the process. Will definitely be using that cube twist in the near future!

[@mikemihich4699]

Very good. Thanks for showing those basic twist. I will use those on upcoming projects

[@antiantifaterrier5761]

If you don’t have a welder to make a double end twist wrench you can slide a snug piece of pipe over your bar and it will keep it from kinking. Thanks for the video 👍

[@deezgames8929]

Great video man I just started smithing and definitely got plans for these twists!!

[@sdunca4864]

Bravo mate- been looking for a bit of a spruce up for my drawer pulls- Bravo!

[@bwood6337]

Great, well explained, and concise tutorial.

[@zeeahm9354]

i have so much respect for your talent. loved it man

[@borderlessnature]

Good easy to follow no nonsense video, thanks for that man! Great ideas

[@benfox9382]

Awesome work! Love the pineapple one. My god, the cube one is fantastic! I've never seen that before... nice one!

[@rendel5024]

This is the first of your videos I've seen, and subscribed too. Great job, keep it up. Cheers from downunder 🌍

[@jtmarshall]

Before this video I just wanted to do some bladesmithing, I had very little interest in blacksmithing... But those twists are awesome... Those axe pendants are sick too.. Definitely gonna have to share this with some buddy's

[@apocalypseforge2666]

Damn son, great, simple video. No fuss and just the stuff we need to know.

[@warrenschneider5169]

All your videos are awesome. keep up the excellent work!!!!

[@johnjude2685]

John all your videos has been very educational and very short. You are welcome to teach me longer than 10 minutes Sir thanks

[@grandadz_forge]

Loved this. Always love twist vids

[@carolynross6052]

I'll be utilizing these techniques in my silversmithing venture. Thank you for sharing.

[@stevebrickshitta870]

Very simply, concise instruction. Such a refreshing change. Excellent. These things needn't be limited to ornamental work. Working on a tapered, and slightly modified bar, you could knock up a handy little set of screw detractors. Worth some further investigation. I'd always intended to play round with the techniques to get a bar for a large sized Archimedean drill. Something a couple of feet long to use when working stone, and not wanting percussive tools. This stuff can lead to drill bits, augers etc of people want to investigate

[@ryanalaska8570]

COOL! thanks for sharing! defiantly going to try these on throwing axes. so cool.

[@MrRogerhalliday]

Very interesting and awesome. Will try it out. Thanks for your contribution to the art

[@kylebailey2884]

[@douglasfathers4848]

Thanks for sharing I liked the cube as well .

[@notfeedynotlazy]

You talk more than I usually like, but you use your talking to actually explain what you're doing and your video ends up being instructive enough. Proof that preferences are subjective, but quality is objective. Good job.

[@jasontodd4801]

Thanks for the tutorial!

[@moarei]

Greetings from Bavaria, enjoying your doings.

[@kengamble8595]

[@arthurboddie5261]

Omg I

[@alchemykitchen777]

these are killer. Don't have a twisting wrench but definitely will give it a try still

[@NeilGraham.I.M.F]

Always great videos!

[@jonkwilloughby]

That was awesome man!!

[@hammer326]

One of the best twist tutorials on youtube. Is that tool at 3:26 or anything like it, ideally wider for grooving standard 6" rail spikes in one good whack, available commercially? I just don't know who or what would use a chisel so wide and thus where to look for it.

[@OldHickoryForge]

hammer326 it’s a masonry chisel. They have then at harbor freight

[@hammer326]

@@OldHickoryForge Appreciate your time!

[@westcoaststacker569]

Nice work and demo mate thanks

[@FireOfJagz]

This is amazing

[@threeruffians]

Thanks for the tutorial!!! Cheers!

[@jaysanders7472]

Thanks for the instruction I have done all of them except the alligator twist. Think I will make a poker with that full length. The pineapple is the one that gives me the most headaches. Trying to do it on to small of stock so it never comes out right.

[@christiancolombo87]

Nice work!

[@olekluften9776]

Nice to learn. Thank you

[@GaryForgingOn]

Great demo. thanks

[@blakey9089]

Great vid for a beginner like myself cheers man!

[@IronB2]

You gotta break that bad habit of tapping the chisel before striking it, haha, took me forever to get over doing that.

[@maxrokatanski7842]

You rock! Awesome!

[@saulsandoval2313]

Fantastic 👍

[@javierbritezayala963]

[@mariamagdalenaespinoza1316]

maravilloso tu trabajo😍

[@wesking5600]

Thank you!!

[@jollyjiggler]

I didnt know the pineapple twist was that simple🤯

[@torchmastered]

Very cool thx

[@1959ticktock]

brilliant video. I'd have liked it more if you'd slowed down a bit, but even so great technique. Came here via Jay Bates.

[@robertlonis9350]

Thank you

[@jadekayak01]

good stuff

[@alexcat9580]

Thank you :)

[@ramklis]

mind blown

[@johnjude2677]

Thsnks good video

[@kurtsimmons1587]

I’d like each one of those made into a knife! Do you need to flux the material when you start forging on it? That would be a good video making something out of those now!

[@HiltsyAdventure]

this was done most likely with mild steel (it won't harden so won't hold an edge) you only need to flux something if you are forge welding.

[@Thomyorke225]

Thanks alot man I’ll make a sissy bar for my choppers out of it

[@ghisso1]

bravo

[@alvarobrat]

Muy bueno que gran arte💪🤝

[@khosrowsalehi2214]

Nice

[@SHammyhead]

Dude thats awsome!!!! Now i wanna learn the smith trade!!!! Even more

[@alexandrogoodman2251]

I think so a very good work yeah

[@seafoohotman]

Do you have a video on how this looks/works with Damascus knives and the pattern it makes?

[@dlbknives4869]

Nice tutorial.....thanks for doin' it!

[@rifleman7313]

I wonder if it would be possible to use one of these twist methods on the blade of a knife and still see it, or if the design would be lost?

[@sushilagunther9739]

Can do this with aluminum for earrings? Thanks beautiful work

[@UncleBobbyBkklol]

cube twist is fucking awesome
