Blacksmithing Forging A Kissing Horses Horseshoe Heart

[@blacksmithnc]

You are a very talented blacksmith and artist. Got to be dedicated to be forging outside in the snow. Thank you for the demo.

[@ronroberts7297]

Just watched this! Absolutely amazing. I do horseshoe art but nothing even close as yours. Great job!

[@stevenputnam4394]

It's good to see you're back to making this art again

[@curtisdahl3249]

Thanks for the video the techniques you show for correcting little imperfections really helped me get a better looking end product always like watching your videos cheers Curtis

[@iablanet]

Very cool, you are a good hand. I shoe horses and use a forge and anvil everyday but not much artsy stuff. I am going out to give this a go. I plan to make a trellis for my daughters wedding and your horseshoe heart might just be what I use to fill the trellis. Thank you!

[@frigginpos]

Flaw? There's no flaw! Gorgeous!

[@Bossjunkart]

Beautiful job,thanks for sticking it out in the cold weather

[@stevenlarsen1691]

Fantastic as always. Thank you for sharing!

[@mikedelnero1478]

Thanks for the video! You show all the steps so others can forge one too. Good job!

[@lostbuffalo196]

Chandler, I've watched and enjoyed MANY of your videos and enjoy them very much. Keep up the good work.

[@DERICKBLAIR4]

gorgeous. Lovein the older videos Chandler. Dont get me wrong the new ones blow me away, but love seeing the progression

[@Buckrun11]

Those are beautiful. You said something that I try to do and teach others. " don't give up till it is done" I see a lot of stuff people make that just needed more time and a few more hits with the hammer and it would have been done. Don't quit until it is done.

[@Moonfleet41]

Beautiful craftsmanship Sir.

[@nickgreen2547]

Chandler, just want to say you sir are good at what you do. you have inspired me to pick up black smithing m keep up the good work.

[@Fazajaksmok]

Its 3am here, so I probably wont even remember watching this, but let me tell you something, Im really glad to see your work again!

[@johnterrett4035]

Well done Chandler and thank you for your time and videos. Great stuff!!

[@mortenhenningsen3609]

[@woonproductions598]

I'm glad to see you back at it!

[@rios4175]

Glad your back I really missed your videos

[@DavidNicholsonUK]

Looks brilliant, I can't do the things you do but I love watching your videos, hopefully one day I can get into it and make things like yourself. Keep up the excellent work.

[@MajorSeven59]

Very Cool! Chandler!I finally got my own shop up and running and hammered out a couple of hearts for Valentine Day presents. Actually several hearts because the first ones were pretty lousy. Hard to get the symmetry. Welded on three hammered legs and made counter trivets for hot pans to emulate fireplace trivets from the 18th century. Enjoy your videos and artistry. Now to find some horse shoes.

[@MsNevadakid]

looks great to me pard. ! ...happy trails...

[@stevejones2291]

awesome work Chandler.

[@Coronalite59]

Now that turned out very nice!!

[@michaelflynn6178]

Looks great Thanks for taking the time to upload

[@ohhaiderhowisyou]

Very nice. I'll have to make my mother one. Can't wait for the next one!

[@Pseud0rand0m]

I finally gave this a try today.....I need practice! Thanks for the video and tips Chandler. I'm going to keep trying.

[@indianatone218]

I love this project ,started doing one today but had to break off to repair the anvil with hard facing rods as I dident have a sharp edge on anvil so a job with a job ,will grind anvil up tomoro then maybe try again .keep em coming ,ant from Wales UK

[@benkeenan33]

Good job man! Very beautiful work!!

[@rickramrick8423]

Nice work, going to make one (without the heart) for a friend of mine who has a ranch in North Dakota, bottom center I'll add a rams head on top with a twisted shaft and a hook on bottom for a hat, ought to be fun, thanks for the tip on the horse heads.

[@TufStockdogs]

Thank you buddy I am healing better I really am but buddy I really love rewatching your work to help me do my forging thank you buddy

[@carloscalderon8997]

Beautiful job my friend keep posting more videos, forging is an amazing technique that not everybody can do👌👊

[@Rynax-]

Really beautiful work.

[@knivesstuff]

Great seeing you forging again

[@AmongDivines]

Love your videos. Keep up the great work.

[@jessicahux9443]

think about the old Harbor Freight anvil. i like it. The change did the trick. You are a true artist.

[@brooklyndan11206]

WOW !! That was so cool excellent job my friend you are great in forging.Will check your channel.

[@onthebalconywithkat1517]

I think it looks awesome! Very cool. Wish I could learn to blacksmith... maybe once I get my own property instead of living in an apartment.

[@chandlerdickinson]

On The Balcony With Kat Keep it on the todo list!

[@johnstanley6799]

+Chandler Dickinson about how much do you sell these for and how much time does it take you thanks for the vids i really enjoy them blacksmithing has always interested me as I love the idea of hand making things it's a lost art and congratulations on your new shop I know you'll do well

[@georgiac5190]

THIS IS SO COOL I LOVE THE FIRE INTRO

[@fransvanbergen7271]

Beautiful done and as well important ,very well explained and demonstrated, love your performance, thanks so much.

[@669fathead]

hey he's back. missed your videos chief! hope all's well back there.

[@PSPMHaestros]

woah, it's really nice! And thanks for taking the time to upload these videos, I really enjoy them :)

[@mczee2958]

Awesome! Good to see ya back at it, I really love your videos :)

[@davepelfrey3958]

That kinda hurt me too when you said your anvil sucks! You could probably use some hard surfacing rod like a frog mang rod and then have machined down. Just keep pounding. I really enjoy your video's. Thanks! Dave

[@chandlerdickinson]

Dave Pelfrey I hate the touch her up too much... She's been around a while... Don't want to take away from that.

[@maxbeasty1946]

WOW my sister would love one of those!

[@chandlerdickinson]

Max Beasty You can request an item by email me at [e-mail] or keep an eye on my etsy store at www.etsy.com/shop/McFinleysCabin

[@maxbeasty1946]

+Chandler Dickinson How much are you selling them for?

[@joshsmith6792]

Man that was bad ass I am going to try tie make the wife one for Xmas thanks really good video like how you explain the process

[@starforged]

I like it. Leave the nail in it. Do you wax or paint them? Very beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@NRGvideoproduction]

it doesn't suck, gotta love a coleslaw., but you have to hunt an edge :) Thanks for the project idea!

[@JDTN1985]

Thank you so much Chandler! You know I've been looking forward to this video for awhile and now I can't wait till the next time I get to do some forging cause this is without a doubt my next project. As a side note, I recently got a blacksmithing tip from a friend of mine you might be interested in: harbor frieght sells end nippers (item #42266) that are fairly useless at their intended job, but can be easily turned into a good pair of tongs with a bit of forge work. My friend made a pair of wolf-jaw tongs with them that work just as good as the pair I bought Blakcksmith Depot.

[@chandlerdickinson]

JDTN1985 your friend might have got the idea from my video about making tongs from HF pliers...lol

[@oblivionfan97]

Yes! your back!

[@sharpshooterjd]

Amazing as always!

[@zenon23688]

Precioso!! Eres un artista

[@Merkenau]

Very creative.

[@suzukisamurai7357]

Great job... i had the same crap weather here in mass today it sux...

[@robg836]

You said your anvil sucks in the video....I'd be so happy with that anvil

[@chandlerdickinson]

Rob G I have felt really badly ever since saying it!!!!! I love my anvil and she has been really good to me. But she doesn't have any good edges left. Probably been around since the late 1800's and has seen many good times... I felt so bad about saying she sucks that I took a little time and dressed up a couple spots on her table. I still feel bad...lol

[@GhostCreeper]

Welcome back

[@chadderalleh8107]

nice to see you uploading vids again. i been making skull head knives out of spikes. it was fun at first till i got better at doing it. now i get too pissed off when i cant get something to do what i want it to do. i think i do better on my first attempt at anything. Then when i try to replicate shit falls all to hell.

[@chandlerdickinson]

chadderall eh as with many things in life the firsts are the best! lol.. I have encountered the same problems but it shows me that that is where i need to focus practicing... A good smith can repeat! I think....lol

[@davidasTUBE]

A hell of a heart !!!

[@97SEMTEX]

pretty cool, if you ask me!

[@Bossjunkart]

Great lesson ,thanks

[@mornhaven8602]

Really nice!

[@kensmapleleafretirement]

Very Cool, sir... Thank you...

[@ВоваЕфремов-ж4к]

Спасибо за идею!!! Жене́ такой, только подсвечник, сделаю на день рождения.

[@mikeecho33]

outstanding work\

[@WantCoffee99]

Beautiful work. I have a question for you, sir. I do a bit of hobby welding, including horseshoe designs. I want to be able to straighten shoes for making letters. I assume that you use a forge for heating the shoes in the work that you do. Being that a forge would be a hefty investment for my purpose, could you recommend a different method for getting the metal hot enough to be malleable? Would a propane torch for instance produce enough heat/ heat enough of the shoe? (I weld with flux-cored wire and do not have acetylene for heating) Eventually I may get to the point where I want to shape the metal the way you are with hand tools and the anvil. The horse heads are really nice looking.

[@chandlerdickinson]

WantCoffee99 Check out my bucket forge video... You will save in propane what you spend in the forge easily.... Coal or charcoal though if you can find it coal would be cheaper. I am sure you can get it hot enough with propane... you probably want it atleast red hot to straighten them. Bucket forge is a pretty easy way to go...

[@ronb5781]

Nice job!!!

[@Metalicspark]

awesome idea.

[@Ginger3677]

awesome job

[@anthonyberry8604]

you should do some old Victorian hair dresser scissors that whould be sweet!!

[@chandlerdickinson]

Jerry Arce You can request and item my emailing me at [e-mail] or keep an eye on my etsy store at www.etsy.com/shop/McFinleysCabin

[@darinhumble4656]

So did you just scrub it with a wire brush to clean it?

[@chandlerdickinson]

Darin Humble Wire brushing it hot helps alot and then i took it to the wire wheel on the bench grinder and also a little time on a buffing wheel.

[@drason69]

What do you charge for this, if you don't mind me asking?

[@chandlerdickinson]

drason69 The kissing horses horseshoe heart is $35 plus shipping. You can request an item by emailing me at [e-mail] or you can keep an eye on my etsy store at www.etsy.com/shop/McFinleysCabin

[@helenw1497]

👍👍❤

[@slamminghammerblacksmithin4681]

I have a question why didn't you just straighten the shoe out is there a reason

[@cohenhodgkiss7846]

Nice

[@NascarJaydenGaming]

Do you sell the hearts and if so how much

[@ssrknivesandguns8741]

MAKE ME A KUKRI BLADE!

[@chandlerdickinson]

Sean Roberts It's on the short list!

[@shelbysargent3596]

You could as well make it for someone to hang up but hand Feathers with beads al the bottom of the horse shoe

[@kanecobe]

i see you use the half hammer!

[@chandlerdickinson]

Kanecobe I have made a lot of money from that half hammer and use it often

[@kanecobe]

Chandler Dickinson its good you could put it to use.

[@Santokuryu]

hey, what kind of anvil do you have?

[@chandlerdickinson]

Kyle Doan This one is a Peter Wright 132#

[@Santokuryu]

Ah sweet! Thought so, I got a 200 pound peter Wright

[@jaysanders7472]

Very nice do you care if I borrow your design

[@odinvalkyrus]

Just an idea, i bet if you made a similar type of design, only make em two dolphins, they'd sell like hotcakes.

[@benjoseph260]

Do dolphins wear shoes?

[@TexugoFTW]

you should make'em 100% simetric.

[@chandlerdickinson]

TexugoFTW uhhhhhhh...lol

[@TexugoFTW]

sorry I hadn't finished watching the video, they were pretty wonky but you corrected and the finished result was gorgeous. Cheers.

[@dallen3000]

so, where can i buy one?

[@chandlerdickinson]

+dallen3000 You can request one by emailing me at [e-mail]

[@JR-qz3zt]

I love it dude. I make a lot of horseshoe art. I typically use my oxy acetylene torch for making my heart's. I do believe I am in need of a forge. I also cut mine in half and then weld the halves together. I'm on Instagram @ Jim Rodgers and underthehoodwelding.

[@gilauth6791]

Hi Just in case you wonder if anyone still care about You Your Ways and Work. Yes I think you where defenetly a plus to the blacksmith community .Didn't found any to match Chandler Dickinson .

[@ErichMillerTV]

I watched you +Chandler Dickinson make one of these in Oneida yesterday at the craft show. Great work! And I will definitely check out your store at www.etsy.com/shop/McFinleysCabin !

[@TealCheetah]

If I had money, I'd tell you to shut up and take it!

[@HeshamChybli]

tbh nobody cares how you do it they just want to see the end product nd a little bit how not like step by step every small deatail

[@banjosambar]

I want to know step by step how to make it so someday I might be able to make one aswell.

[@JoeWrigley]

Horse shit
