I love the sound of metal getting hammered. Such a manly sound.

This is amazing i randomly searched it and here i am.... might be my hobby forging metals and making something out of it! thank you!

[@wereinfallen]

Nice video for an intro to forging! You were basically outside during the video so it's not a big deal but I have to say the part with the bolts made me think of an additional safety issue to mention: galvanized and other possible metals or coatings can cause hazardous fumes so beginners need to be cautious about what they chuck in their forges ;)

[@ralphmelvin1046]

Excellent video for for the beginner blacksmith who wants to learn all about it 👍

[@monforttransport]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.

[@sepehr9982]

Very useful thank you

[@I_SuperHiro_I]

Very informative.

[@DumbFishes]

There videos are so underrated

[@linashahhal9341]

This is so cool

[@aaronsaunders6974]

shocked that shank wasn’t still boiling hot 🔥

[@backwoodsbushcraft2633]

Hello, I just came across this video and your channel. Could you share a link as to where you got those tongs? Thank you

[@versatileduplicity9313]

I may learn how to do this after I learn how to weld great.

[@mikevangeel6948]

Just visited manitoulin island and stumbled upon your articles of homesteading and your neighbor ivan bailey, did you ever get a book published? I would love to buy one. I assume you have heard of wingfield written by dan needles if not check him out. Anyways let me know if you ever got it published

[@user-yj8uo1rt3v]

As you cool it in water might it brake when struck? Or do you get the same flexability as if u did it in oil?

[@TheFalconJetDriver]

My Grandfather was born in 1874 we was boiler maker on the railroad, he latter left the railroad and started his on iron works. I have chisels that he made, and when I was a young child I watched him make another chisel for me. I still have that one too! Question when heating the lag bolt like you did was it a galvanized bolt? What does heating a galvanized bolt do any health issues to consider like welding galvanized metal?😁🛫

[@fishmut]

i would say if your concerned about toxic fumes etc , wear a mask while your working gal bolts or other metals. No brainer really.

[@LaryCaverga94]

just the possibilty of inhaling toxic fumes, you could just clean the piece with vinegar if youre worried

[@murraymcquigge3348]

You should NEVER forge galvanized metal. The zinc fumes can dissolve your liver! IForge has a letter (I think it's there) from a fellow dying in his hospital bed from heating up several galvanized items in a closed shop and the white zinc fumes being inhaled.

[@weirdlywonderful829]

Would you use propane or coal for beginners

[@dansutton9268]

How many hours at that temperature does a tank of propane last?

[@nghiaphanquoc1604]

Can i fix the steel if i forge the steel too thin? If it can be fix then how can i do that? Can you answer me?

[@jeremyhamilton3106]

I love the propane forge, what is the name brand of that one?

[@2406west]

he made it. most people just make their forges as it isn't hard. i just made mine with an old bbq grill with an air pump for a blow up matress. used a fence pole and rigged the air pump on it and drilled out a hole in the grill for the pipe and drop hot charcoal in it and turn the air on and voila

[@user-fl2wn5zr5z]

it is called piening it

[@bow2me26]

But how would you melt the steel and mold it into a shape without damaging what your using to heat it up to melting point with ?

[@banescarlyon4249]

Crucible

[@carriesuegeorge403]

Perfect to clean cut that doesn't cause cancer to plants or crops for the blades cutting crops, pruning shears for tree's and golf course trimmers.

[@thomaskrawford7363]

If you could forge steel in a Zero-gravity Ceramic tool, I betcha have some really good Steel

[@wizardtoben8612]

i wanna learn forging so bad, but i don't know where to start..

[@Xero1447]

I've just started, so kinda the same boat. Do you have equipment and don't know what to do with it? Or do you need some advice on where to get cost effective starter gear?

[@user-lm1cz9lo9j]

I use charcoal burns hotter and slower

[@forest6117]

Would you know how to sharpin edges cut I'm wanting to make a sword and I don't know how to sharpin the edges EDIT what do I do if I don't have a fordge EDIT 2 would a blow torch or propane flamethrower work

[@whiskeyTX]

yes a propane torch works great

[@franka9760]

I can't believe you don't wear gloves.

[@OffbrandBarney]

im 11 and that anvil is almost 2x my wieght

[@Kenjiiscool]

instructions unclear, herobrine is in my game

[@EpicSquid37]

Why aren't you wearing gloves?

[@angelofanella7860]

Forgery is a crime

[@anthonymitchell8000]

The only thing you showed me is how you spend money because you got a lot of it and you're just showing off you did not talk anything about forging only

[@charliebailey5251]

Can you shut up and mind your own business

[@nucah7880]

Hmm, not as informative as I would have liked at all to be honest. I find your title a bit misleading.
