DIY Blacksmith Forging a Fork From a Piece of Rebar - Post Apocalyptic Fork

Hey everyone! Here's a hand forged fork made from 1/2" rebar. I'm planning on making a set with a spoon, steak knife, butter knife, and maybe even a spork. Let me know what you think!

I would need to harden mine with the way my wife's been cooking lately

[@JeffsTrades]

hahahaha too funny

[@WeaselJuice]

This is how everything should be CRAFTED. This fork will be used for generations.

[@user-bz5zu2mf1z]

Going to make this as my first forge project in metalshop. Thank you for making these videos!

[@19wael96]

You are an amazing man, thank you for being on KZbin.

[@chrisbarlow9384]

your work is art. any imperfections just add to your work and thankyou for sharing your knowledge.

[@BlackBeastWorkshop]

Absolutely love your forge videos, awesome job. Definitely going to try this in the future

[@andeehirano6480]

Wow, Nick, you did a good job on the fork. No one would know it was handmade. As usual I am impressed with your craftsmanship.

[@matthewdotson5755]

So talented!..this guy can do anything!

[@corbintheintern6229]

I'll be doing this all with a file, a belt sander, and a hacksaw, seeing as I don't have an angle grinder. Thanks for inspiring me!

[@leecrouch7870]

Nick:Firstly, I love your channel. You and the Zednaught Alpha have really inspired me to get my hands dirty and express creativity in some amazing ways. Second, I thought I'd recommend making some sort of protective item. You've shown us how to make rebar knives, tongs, arrowheads, and now a fork. I'd love to see a scrap metal buckler or similar item. Thanks, A fan and upcoming craftsman.

[@letsdoit3893]

Wooow thats awesome project! I wish to have place to do it like you. Keep going 🙏

[@RFAM05]

Fantastic results! Thanks much

[@cloudhouse4388]

Awesome work brother, i searched and searched for a video on how to forge a fork and finally your popped up. keep it up

[@millertalbot]

Love your work Nick! Keep 'em coming! Need to do a spoon now.

[@doubledarefan]

Fork from rebar: Refork! If you really want to make rebar go full circle, make concrete finishing tools from rebar.

[@smoovesaint]

great job, it looks great. I am amazed at the star-sparks coming off the rebar. You have talked in previous vids about carbon content varying on rebar - well that one looks rather high!

[@muaythai2005]

This is better looking than most commercial made sets

[@domspeziale8503]

you seem really enthusiastic with what your doing. Its amazing to see someone do what they love. Good job and don't let people bring you down. Continue to do these amazing videos :)

[@BackyardBowyer]

+Dom Speziale Thank you for the kind words!

[@SuicideNeil]

Seems like a full cutlery set is in order... Great work as always.

[@7come11two]

Nice work. I love it.

[@JedidiahShultzIrishCraftsman]

Very cool my friend and I look forward to checking out the rest of your videos!!😊😊

[@Hornbag73]

Hi Nick, how about making a full dinner set Knife, Fork ,Spoon wooden plate/bowl and a horn cup

[@BackyardBowyer]

Nigel Stringer Thanks for the suggestion!

[@crxunch3790]

Wow, great video! Short and to the point, I love it! God bless brother! Jesus loves you!

[@BackyardBowyer]

Thank you!

[@michaelranasinghe3774]

I'd love to see you make a carving knife and fork in the same manner as this. Great video man!

[@SharpWorks]

That looks great! Maybe you can try forging the handle square and putting in a twist to make it look more decorative. I love these forging videos, can't wait for what's next.

[@ElusiveCube]

Very very cool ,That would be my favorite fork, awesome.

[@brewmaster0507]

nice job as always. truly enjoy your vids

[@sammoreland6623]

i thought the beeswax was a potato lol

[@jordanbrown1337]

Beautiful piece

[@_GRiM1]

That's a really cool fork!

[@joeladams6566]

I like it. Cool build

[@grayem76]

nice work nick thank you

[@patevir1]

Slick , great work

[@FargoFX]

This is the best thing I've seen on KZbin in weeks. Outstanding.

[@KOTEC525]

so simple, but so cool!!

[@texassportingclays7996]

LOL I LOVE IT!!! Its Texas Style!!! I would love to have a larger one for turning my steaks on my Texas Size Grill...Great job brother!!

[@Scientist9221]

Looks great, Nick

[@user-yh3rl5el1y]

Good fork!

[@craigcarolmiller536]

I just found your spoon video. Very Cool. It brought me here. Very Cool fork! Keep up with the great videos.

[@cameronleslie9501]

this is amazing actually

[@AdamCeladin]

I would love to throw this one haha :D good job Nick :)

[@robertgolden1080]

Outstanding

[@spider1g5]

I half expected a throwing demo! Ha ha, great build!

[@JuanEnriqueSerra]

Excellent!!

[@Aridanx]

SUPER FORK!

[@dilandogbp]

Amazing!!!!

[@rwdyeriii]

Cool project.

[@braydencooper7482]

I didn't know in post apocalyptic times they had no forks or spoons but had angle grinders a forge and electricity. keep the videos going. there good!

[@michaelmichael8406]

That some nice smooth work, both at the forge and with the grinder. Smoothness with simple forms is underrated, but a sign of good control. FWIW, the steel doesn't need to be anywhere near red-hot for the beeswax to melt and form a good finish. Although if you just like the flames, that's cool too. :)

[@sithlorddread8721]

This was actually pretty dope! Make a spoon, butter knife, steak knife, and a pairing knife to go with it.

[@ms4eji0bek]

Forge chain links and make a riveted chain out of rebar, that'd be good practice.

[@JoeyTheGreat]

So cool

[@jeremiahgray8483]

cool build

[@jonkwilloughby]

Awesome!

[@johnlindsey7355]

Johnnyred here big fan of your Chanel. So got a challenge build for you. Chop stick cross bow. I was thinking bout using the grove from a tongue &grove piece of wood paneling but u can use what ever. Chop sticks are just such a common thing it be cool to see some thing that can shoot them. Could even be spring powered. Have to figure a weighted arrow tip ,flights so the can fly right. Well give it a pounder.

[@crazyclownx4551]

sheeeeeesh that rly helps me... i needed i guide vid like this,i have a whooooooole bunch of rebar!!!

[@ricardobenevides9456]

that's great man .

[@MrGarib12]

great video! make the whole set!

[@osguerreros9733]

que legal ,vou fazer um

[@ipholar3504]

Nice video!

[@maxm3s]

very good !!!

[@chrissego]

you should try making a spoon and a spatula

[@paulorosa7768]

D'mais.. parabéns, muito bom mesmo!!! Vou fazer um também..

[@Monuments_to_Good_Intentions]

Nice. You have potentially saved me $400 if I can make my own. Looking at a set of a nice dinnerware set that is $50 a piece. For $400 I could put that towards a power hammer. 😂

[@GunsNRoosendael]

very very nice!

[@912Benny]

I love the knives you do that are inspired by games like you CS:GO knife or the destiny knife but a set of medieval dinner utensils would be cool also.

[@stevebuckskinner5482]

Very cool neck! Hey, make it with just two prongs and you've got yourself an 18th or early 19th century fork. You ought are quite the Craftsman!

[@rockyjjones8989]

Nice, real nice

[@sushant321]

Nice work bro.....

[@ernestusilgrande]

nice fork..bella forchetta.

[@PhotonChief]

Yes, but can you make a spork? :P I'm curious as to why you didn't cut the tines with a wedge while it was hot, but opted to grind them. Great project, and I love the rustic look.

[@bruce257]

Cool!!

[@treypop123]

that fork is super cool

[@BackyardBowyer]

treypop Thanks!

[@NotonlyWood]

[@pabloandreslopezlavega2700]

[@Mikeybigguns79]

[@jimkaleta9815]

[@MrRob913]

[@subparmonkey9186]

Subscribed. Please make a cleaver Edit: it would be so cool and funny if you made arrowhead points that are forks

[@jeferson7433]

[@danteruizpecchio5588]

Excelente. Genio

[@relykofwar4039]

when i get my forge back to working comtition in the future. i actiallt want to make my mother a damascus silverware set. about 3 if each utensil. she has always been very supirtive. but ive never been able to make anything for her. so i really vant wait to do somthing nice gor her othee than only being able to say "love you"

[@Thicbladi]

Honestly making her a leather purse with your own hand forged fitting like buckled and maybe like a metal piece that has her initials or something would work too

[@eightgeorge]

Man, that's one hell of a Game's of Thrones fork! It can kill. Could you twist the rebar more to make more of an interesting design? Nice one

[@eloyworkshop541]

Very very good

[@BackyardBowyer]

+Eloy Workshop Thank you!

[@ACDCRD]

One time I was like mom I'm gonna go watch backyardbowyer and she was like, backyard voyeur? Do you even know what that means 😂😂

[@tonynewman777]

That is really cool is it sanitary healthy any drawbacks.... Versus silver are stainless steel

[@cadywelp235]

Imma make one of these for a mint camping fork

[@prophez23]

I dig it brotha

[@BackyardBowyer]

+Troy Mallett Thanks for watching!

[@DigitalSwagg]

Cool,... how about spoon on one end and fork on the other!

[@gamurphy5859]

He's got skill forging and fricking level 100 with a grinder.

[@ryanratliff5684]

Keep it up.

[@christer021]

Could u do a video on making a bow from fibreglass sheeting

[@ianholmen888]

How safe is it to use rebar to eat with? Is there some coating or something you can put in it so it won't rust or something?
