Your ideas/designs seem so unique compared to those I see here in USA...perhaps they are more traditional in your part of the world. Never the less, a fascinating project and a wonderful demonstration of your skills. You make the forge welds look so effortless! Loved this...

Thank you, my training was based in the UK under two master blacksmiths. The handle is based on one of the methods I was shown by Master Blacksmith Paul Allen.

@oconnorblacksmith4 ай бұрын
I'm a Blacksmith of 8 years in the craft - traditional ironwork. My forge isn't much, but it's enough to allow me to create, I worked my fingers to the bone to earn what I've got. Most of my tooling would have been early 1900's and bought from older forges across Ireland and the UK. 😊

Nice forge welded handle to tines, did you use a flux for that or do you just rely on a good hot temperature?
@oconnorblacksmith4 ай бұрын
I learned how to weld without the use of flux, just a good welding temp is all you need. Unless I'm welding high carbon steels, you need flux for that.
@EarlUndershirt4 ай бұрын
Do the little sparks that come off the metal hurt if they touch your hand?
@oconnorblacksmith4 ай бұрын
Yes, that's the forge scale. It likes to stick to the skin, but it doesn't stay hot for very long, and it doesn't happen often. During certain forging operations, I'll use a leather glove, but it's not always needed. I find it safer to use my bare hands for most tasks. 😊

Why do you tap the hammer on the anvil?
@oconnorblacksmith4 ай бұрын
To be sure it's paying attention! 😄 Honestly, I do it without thinking. Sometimes, it's because I'm changing hammer grip, position on the hammer shaft or swapping to the peen on the hammer, it can be to keep a rhythm - when changing the force I hit white while carefully examining my piece. Every hammer blow is calculated, and each one counts! 🙂 I hope that makes sense!
