As always AWESOME AF!

[@hardluk3]

I wonder if you could up set the bar before you start to flatten it. It would give you a thicker end and might give you more material to work with in the end. Just a thought. What you made works.

[@adamh843]

howdy, CK. thanks for thinking about the spoon. the flat steel sounds promising. i know you're gonna dial that in first. if it works out, i'm hoping you'll make a spoon at one end and fork on the other. i think flat steel would allow you to still make a hook too...at the fork end...if you split the steel as if you were gonna make a 3 pronged fork, the middle "prong" can be bent over for the hook. of course, if the hook is for lifting pot lids, etc. maybe make the actual fork prongs a little shorter than your devilish, frontier forks. just some thoughts from a random dude on the internet with no experience whatsoever!

[@judyluthy9724]

Another great video highlighting a valuable trade we will be needing soon

[@andrewworkman7125]

I really enjoy these frontier builds, I hope in time you make more of those mini Revenants for sale as well. Keep crushing it CPL! Thanks for the video.

[@user-xb1tw4lu2y]

Outstanding af again

[@NaomiH.]

You sound like you are feeling better! Thanks for the great content!

[@Homeless2013nov]

Great videos. My husband and I are homeless and we love your videos

[@christopherbeckerdite4273]

Awesome work CPL

[@Bobbieyounce]

Great video, as always ! Love the design!

[@bennyjbronson]

Another great video

[@RichardYates-z3b]

I could watch a craftsman at work for hours and not get bored. Great job.

[@robtathome]

I love your forge videos Shawn!

[@teddahrable]

Hey, Shawn! Great vid. It's good to see you building an inventory. I understand the desire to use 5/16" material. How about if you cut your blank an inch longer and then upset the spoon bowl-end to gain more material for shaping the bowl?

[@seanflaim6991]

Made an Etsy account in anticipation of getting some of that awesome CC merch and gear. Very surprising how fair the prices are, compared to most creator merch I look at. Supporting great content and getting such value is WIN-WIN for all.

[@recall5811]

thanks, but some still complain that it should be free

[@kamerangreen2838]

Dude, love your content. I am a professional blacksmith, and I just want to give you a quick pointer: cut your material a half inch longer, then upset the spoon end. That will give you enough material to make your spoon end. Keep on doing your thing. Love following your story.

[@sgtjrr9771]

Sound & look much better! I knew that bacon would have you back on track quickly! Great work!

[@mickwatson2177]

I love your forge videos. I have always wanted one and you are pushing my desire even more. Cheers mate 👍🐕🤠🇦🇺

[@phyllisclark3896]

You are always surprising us with your great videos. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

[@savageater57]

I enjoy watching you do that . My grandfather and his brother owned a blacksmiths shop back in the late 1890's early 1900's untill automobiles became prevalent. Later selling bicycles untill WW1

[@koh9894]

This music is insanely suspenseful. 👍🏿👍🏾👍🏽

[@mikeriley4824]

Thanks for the midweek video and showing how to forge spoons.

[@lordofpain3476]

Every single one of your videos are educational for those willing to learn.

[@recall5811]

yet most miss

[@davidmerritt5702]

Awesome. Upset the end of the bar in the beginning and it will give you more material for a wider spoon. Thanks for the video

[@paulwojtylak4154]

Now add a knife and we’ll have a full set. I’d rock with that.

[@loyd5074]

Nice work

[@jamescatoe8821]

Glad to see you're feeling better. Love your videos

[@christophhoppe2947]

Hell of a lot of work to shape this spoon!

[@shadowlord5574]

Excellent as always 👌

[@Samuel-k5n6k]

I was wondering about these...

[@williamdroom5789]

I really like the music. Nobody else is doing that.

[@TheBirdmaster45]

Fold the spoon part in half by adding the spoon length so you can increase the width size .. Just a thought

[@benjaminpratt7249]

Just a tip if you use some borax power and fold the spoon end and forge weld it you'll have enough material to forge your full spoon that your after

[@TheWonderboy420]

I enjoy these videos. I've been smithing for a couple of years now. I would like to give you just a couple of suggestions. 1- upset the end of the spoon that way it'll give you more material to move around and work with. 2- turn your hammer around and use your cross peen. That will help spread the material out without making it so thin. Thank you for videos and keep up the great work!

[@thomasvosburg6926]

"Outstanding " looks good, beats eating with your hands, I like it !!!

[@BarKingWuffSpider]

Love these videos. I was wondering when you were going to get around to making a spoon. OUTSTANDING! CHANCE FAVORS THE PREPARED MIND.

[@thomasburrows6604]

Nice Process

[@SuziPoozi]

Cool project! Glad to see you're feeling better!

[@paulduckworth1121]

Another excellent mid-week video. Many thanks for this.

[@josephwallace1938]

Great video ,thanks for this knowledge. Catch ya Sunday

[@joshuabomar6974]

I'd be pleased to use that utensil. Nice work.. I'm definitely looking forward to the knife build.

[@davidmadisontheguardian]

Really appreciate these kinds of videos. I watched one where you made a frying pan from one you already had, just a different material. I feel the world, and America in general, has lost the art of making things, especially those that last. Bringing back these kinds of crafts to a new generation and the generations to come - we really need that. So, thank you for taking the considerable time to not only make this stuff, but to film and edit it so that we can sit back and watch how it's done. Your videos are geared to those who really want to make things happen; and the speed at which you film the process supports greatly in the learning process. I just hope people watching realize that it takes much longer than is shown. Most things do; but we've gotten this warped sense of how long things really take. Great stuff as always, DM

[@jasonvassallo6677]

Awesome! I was expecting you to make the spoon soon! Looks real nice! Keep up the great work. You rock corporal!

[@Sjackson2369]

Spoons and knives and forks and pans. Gonna be a whole frontier kitchen soon. Next thing you know we will be watching you with auto body hammers making your own cold handle skillet from sheet metal. You’re an inspiration Corporal. Absolutely killing it.

[@ArtStanton-xu4yt]

Brother, don't fret the haters. That spoon is sweet. Keep the excellent content coming. Corporal AF is bad ass, keep the cool stuff coming.

[@daveneumann7727]

I like it!

[@earlshaner4441]

Good afternoon from Syracuse NY brother

[@margaretbagur3553]

What a skill to know. It's wonderful when you see people carrying this knowledge forward. When I was a kid we had a forge in town, long since gone. We need more of this. I'll be ordering soon over time.

[@sirkai007]

If you're wanting more material for the spoon, I'd heat the end of the bar and upset it. After that it will have more steel to make the spoon bowl.

[@Wolfram762]

I love your frontier forging corporal!!! I really like how you made the whole spoon handle into a long twist, absolutely beautiful!!! I can't wait to see how you come up with doing the spoon in the future!!!!!

[@janicehoward9090]

I love it the spoon turned out awesome I would love to have some like this to match the forks still looking for a whole set of camping /cooking utensils awesome AF keep the awesome products coming love ya Corporal you are THE MAN

[@jeffthompson2218]

Sounds like you're feeling better man. Great content as always!

[@russellwatters5891]

The forged spoon looks like a winner! Awesome AF job.. I'll have to nab a few when you offer them. 😊

[@Badg0r]

That spoon is awesome. I'd be proud to cary one on my trip to Norway to give the spoon an adventure.

[@michaelgorman1080]

Awesome job! love what you do, keep it up I enjoy watching.

[@jeffersonthomason-ry5di]

If you use flat stock . You can fold a bit of the end back on to it's self and pound it flat ...you can use a swage for a spoon shape and use in combination a stamp that fits the spoon concavity and with one or two strikes you can get a spoon shape fast ....if you fold a bit of the end you can increase your material to shape a wider spoon.

[@capntexas]

Try upsetting the end first so that you have a fatter piece for a wider and thicker spoon

[@mikebenavides7708]

Nice work Corp! Love the tutorials

[@ButteryBiscuits-hk4px]

I got a small forge at the homestead. I usually make tent stakes and prison shanks.

[@phatphisherman5070]

Definitely agree, way too time consuming to mass produce like that and still keep it cost effective for everyone including you! Still super cool though! If you found a way to do it though, I would definitely buy multiples!

[@davidritacurl797]

Who would think a simple spoon would end up being the most complicated of the items thus far. Thanks for sharing.

[@beerdrinker6452]

Always Outstanding AF. Thank you.

[@antoineanderson2415]

Outstanding brother I'll be looking forward to it.

[@dustingreen6210]

Excellent build

[@johneriksen5504]

I’ll be interested in the final design. Looks like a good spoon for tea or coffee

[@jmad56]

Can't wait to see the spoon in use in this week's overnighter

[@colinblake24]

I'm glad you explained the process, cost, packaging, mailing, and time to make the spoon.

[@antiatrevino1130]

That's really cool! Thanks for showing us one of your labors of love.

[@BBQDad463]

Thank you for this video. Good work!

[@markbeutel9797]

I used to know a black Smith in Missouri that used a counter top size English wheel to shape his spoons. Just an idea. What you made is amazing.❤

[@robertderby9376]

Nice job on the spoon brother!!

[@taurota1554]

Outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

[@JohnTBlock]

Nice forging, Shawn. Looks good.

[@ScottCarlson-cz7wj]

Thxs for the vid. Your first series of hammer blows goes with the intro to the song, Mississippi Queen. I filled in the guitar, ect. -ha

[@sgtbuckwheat]

I did something similar with a piece of quarter inch stock a few years back, it was a lot of fun making useful things in the forge. A friend of mine made a musk rat spear head about the same time.

[@bjornsoderlund8123]

So cool mr you are good in heat work 😊

[@rogueshadow5280]

I love seeing the forging videos! I don't have a lot of practical experience forging at the moment but one thing that might help get a result closer to what you are looking for is to start with a bar a bit longer than you want and upset the scoop end of the spoon to thicken it up so that it can be pounded out wider

[@jasonsummit1885]

If you make another one, try upsetting the end before flattening to make a wider spoon head.

[@waltergladden15]

Try folding and welding the bowl end to give you enough metal to use the stage form. That might be quicker and easier.

[@Micky-74-v6f]

I just bought up on a bunch of your midweek specials, loving your metalwork videos! Especially the casting ones.

[@davidkanengieter]

That's really cool. I have a friend who's become an accomplished blacksmith, and it's always mesmerizing watching something go from bar stock to a useful item.

[@carterhamilton1502]

Use the flat bar for both the fork and spoon. Thats what I use to make them for my son and his friends for Viking outings. Thanks for all you do and please keep it up. Thanks Carter

[@jamesbrown9736]

Ain’t nuthin in life is free brother and ain’t worth having if it is. You did a great job.

[@madamecampsalot6384]

Awesome spoon! Thanks for all you put into it.

[@donaldwilliams3915]

Good job really enjoyed that video Glad to see you're cold went away keep up the good work

[@jameskelly1680]

Wow, there is a ton of hand work that goes into one of those. Nicely done. As always, excellent montage music.

[@seanbrondstetter2987]

Upset the end before you dish the spoon you get a wider spread and better spoon

[@fatmanfaffing4116]

Cast them out of old steel cans. Make a mould with five of them per pour and then clean up on the buffer. Cheap, quick and easier. They'll look like those and weigh a bit less but still shovel food in your gob or stir coffee. I started my Regular Army career as a 16 year old Fitting and Turning Apprentice and we did blacksmithing so I know the time, effort and skill you put into that spoon.

[@ironkid8836]

I like forging knives myself need to rebuild my forge next

[@mordus671]

You should try a trailer hitch ball to shape the bowl of the spoon.

[@donnafarran5326]

Love, love, love the video, Corporal! You always have amazing content, and always inspire! 🏕🪵🤗

[@jacobwagnercanamx3crazy941]

Super awesome!! Thank you for your hard work and R&D processing...so cool...

[@stonerock56]

Nice spoon. You are 100% correct in that most people would not make these. Can’t wait to see what you do come up with. The cost of making these is expensive. I work some with steel.

[@MCrogers-n2q]

👍 Thanks again Corporal for your time and hard work.

[@stevemick6569]

Just a suggestion Devil Dog…. Maybe make the handles longer for those campers that use the pre-mixed trail meals. Semper Fi

[@gordonlawrence1448]

I'm really getting into these vids.

[@backyardrayray2919]

In the words of Gunnery Sgt. Hartman. "Outstanding!".

[@errolhinton4129]

I bought one of your forks and will 100% buy the spoon and knife when available

[@Marlina66]

WOW!! That was an awesome process. Thanks for sharing!

[@Glenfilthie1]

Those skills are coming along, Shawn! ☺👍

[@flv0958]

Always learn something new from CC!

[@andrewheynig2721]

One cutting tool that may be out there but I have not seen. Is a cutting knife that is designed so that a hand grip can be attached to the other end to allow it to be made into a draw knife.

[@sloppyjoe1315]

I definitely want one of these
