Excellent work, you can't beat a forged fork for strength.

A well equiped, organized and clean shop.

in the 60's and early 70's in the little country town in wv where i grew up their were 3-4 smithies around , old men that probly 40 years in already and had the stuff at home to do all they needed , i always loved hanging out with them and messing with the bellows a nd blowers and stuff . those old guy made their tractor parts and plow diggers and about every thing that could be made . i can imagine what it was like for the old timers in the 1700s fixing wagons and tools and such . i enjoyed your video , first one i had seen , ill check out your other videos

[@rigoniironworks]

i made a karambit out of a boxed wrench once; that is the extent of my "forging"- so i didnt know what to expect at the end. didnt realize its a literal die for bending things and stuff on your table top. nice work.

[@patrickkariuki5487]

The skill of the hand is more important in any kind of work. It makes you love the work you do... and the good work done here is evidence enough.💥💥

[@dariushmilani6760]

Love the art of Blacksmithing. Simple and effective tool. Liked and subscribed.👍❤

[@threeriversforge1997]

Fantastic forging, as always. Before you bent the tines up, I was thinking the whole thing would make an excellent twisting wrench if you'd put a slot into what became the hardy stem. You'd have to make a whole range of different sizes, but they'd certainly look good hanging on the wall!

[@somerandombaldguy5296]

I have no idea what the hell you're doing but I like watching you do it.

[@cliffboule8395]

It’s a nicely made curved thingy that fit’s perfectly into a square hole.

[@TheBoumarchi]

Golden hands and more than accurate vision. Great job

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Wowsers beautiful work. They turned out outstanding. Hopefully they get lots of use out of them. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Keep Making. God Bless.

[@shawtyshawts]

Love the double gusting right out the gate! These frequent uploads have been awesome, thanks for sharing

[@MarrockV]

NGL, I saw the thunbnail but not the title and I was a little disappointed that you weren't making a slingshot...

[@mtx_by_ovimoto]

incredible craftsmanship !

[@messylaura]

[@reneemills-mistretta790]

Totally awesome how you came up with that tool.

[@КовкаБиробиджан]

Здравствуйте, снимите пожалуйста видос как изготовить щетку для снятия окалины

[@RedDogForge]

Clean and precise execution, you sir inspire :) Now how many more of those in diff sizes have you made/ need to make? Obviously not your first one ;) That stop block jig on the anvil of your hammers amazing! I need to make one of those!

[@JohnJohnson-bg2oo]

This guy has his shit together!

[@ЮрийШмидт-с6х]

Отличная работа!

[@vpavlovskii]

Хорошая работа👍

[@saarlandschmiede]

Nice Tool, i have forge a bending fork with Stick, Last Time,😉🤭

[@andraskovacs517]

Nice work -- but it seemed to me that plenty of work was done on those parts which ultimately were cut off from the piece.

[@mt2020]

When you have every tool known to man it makes it easier. How many of us have a power hammer

[@premkapoor4973]

👍Good

[@boredinczechia4382]

I found this tool useless. Haven´t used it since I finished artistic blacksmith high school. But as always, you nailed it.

[@handandhammer]

I don’t use one for most of the work that I do, but if I’m forging tongs a bending fork is invaluable

[@josemartha2248]

Am crazily willing to join you.

[@jonotis1922]

Excellent craftsmanship. Your website says it is set to private. Is that intentional?

[@rigoniironworks]

yeah for now, trying to clean up old material, should be up and running end of next week.

👍👍👍

[@ИгорьРезник-р6з]

очень близко резак к баллонам

[@pawanbhardwaj02]

I like it but what was it

[@rigoniironworks]

It is a tool to help bend metal when its hot.

[@BrazenBull001]

What is that a slingshot

[@RedDogForge]

Its a bending jig, at one point youll see him using one to make the second bend in that one...that one is for use in a hardy hole on a anvil or swage block. You can mae a simpler version thats not quite as strong by bending some round stock into a "U" shape and clamping it in a vise, that said the style hecmakes here is preferable, especially when used in conjunction with a acorn table...very useful for scrollwork

[@ГеоДом-я8о]

💪

[@iolithblue]

Wow, where did you get that swage table?

[@rigoniironworks]

I designed it and had it made.

[@СергейУдарцев-л4ф]

Класс!!!

[@pavelkirievskiy4956]

спросите у ГРИНПИС - сколько ущерба нашей Планете афтар нанес, производя эту деталь? в этом году виноградники в Альпах из-за него померзли? можно было эту работу произвести менее энергозатратно?

[@АртурасЧус-ц1э]

Дерьмо какое то сделал. Отнял время у себя и у зрителей.

[@jimmybuttcheeks]

Wearing goggles while grinding and still had his safety squints on. Safety first!
