I remember my Grandad was ‘into’ blacksmithing & I’d man (@ 7-10yrs Young: I’m 60 now!) the hand-crank billow to heat the iron ~ just being with him & doing that 50-years ago was awesome/great memories!! Watching your work & skill happily brought that all back...thank YOU! The way you talk about your passion with blacksmithing is what kept me watching ‘til the last second. BTW, my Grandad Owned & Ran His Sawmill (he did Southern Ga Yellow-heart Pine from OLD local warehouses), by hand, ‘til he was 78yrs. I guess those 2 professions run hand-in-hand, imho! Again, thx for bringing those great memories back - don’t know why I rambled, but your videos are excellent!!! Keep Heatin’🇺🇸

Totally badass video thank you for taking the time

[@Nightfoxx21]

I would totally buy a t-shirt with the quote “Nothing to it!” and some sort of OHF logo

[@aubreyhier3898]

Least you drink decent beer! Nice vid too!

[@kellyroy8506]

I’ve just started working with spikes making different things and a lot have twists. I currently have been using a pipe wrench to do my twists which sometimes leaves marks and or slips. I love the tool you use. I’m stealing that idea. Thanks.

[@steelballs3]

I now have a new project to try very cool 👍

[@TheNuggetshooter]

I would like to see a video on how you made the railroad spike twister. Very cool Tool indeed!

[@stardusk1726]

[@OuroborosArmory]

I like this idea! Way to make a useful item out of a railroad spike.

[@zachcourtney5998]

Love your work! You're the reason I got into blacksmithing. Keep on heating and beating brother.

[@davidcampbell3936]

I gata say, its always a pleasure to watch you work. No flair, no melodrama, just efficient work. And thank you for all the help you have given to the many charity's. You are a hell of a good dude and one badass blacksmith. Keep up the good work.

[@jjppres]

Great Video John! Just something simple yet most bottle opener tutorials you see aren't with a railroad spike. It was neat to see your take on it. Thanks.!

[@shotgunsam23]

I need that spike twister

[@paulwilliams5800]

Hey ! We drink the same beer !

[@johnjude2685]

Once again thank you for your guidance I love the way you did the one in. Drifting so much easier than working the horn for me also Thanks

[@michaeljohnston243]

I love making these! Made two today pretty quick for my neighbors!

[@richardbryant7972]

Very nice idea, I was just given about 100 spikes and I’m tired of making knives with them. Thanks for video hammer on

[@mtyson9004]

Nuttin to it! Love that saying!

[@SushiKing123NorskGaming]

I really enjoy watching your videos, keep em' coming!

[@lenblacksmith8559]

Good little bottle opener.

[@jlsanford]

Thanks ! I’ve been trying to get the end correct for a few days... you just paved the way. Awesome video

[@shinjuderp7832]

I have a feeling ill be watching you for a long time. I just started blacksmithing after I got my associate's in welding. I absolutely love everything about blacksmithing and you make it look so easy. Thanks for making videos (:

[@americanjaeger4131]

Love the twister. Great build on that

[@shotgunsam23]

I need that twister in my life.

[@RedBeardOps]

This is so legit! I'm going to have to try this out for a gift!

[@dennisw7350]

Nice bottle opener. Not hitting hammers together is an old wives tale. Next they'll say don't hit a chisel.

[@adamblundell6402]

I hope you finished that beer. Here in Australia it is a cardinal sin to open a beer and not drink it all hahaha. Great video mate love your work

[@randallsummers6551]

Looks good John! Makes a nice opener. Take care and God bless

[@williamchase5698]
