Everything you make is so crisp and aesthetically pleasing. Heck, even your daggone anvil is immaculate despite constant use.

[@gstongs]

I try my best. And I also try to keep my tools in good order. Thanks for your kind comment.

[@gurvinderkau1e5w18]

That bending jig is so awesome. Makes work easy. Well made trivet. 👍👍👍

[@gstongs]

I'm really liking my bending jig. Keep thinking of new uses... Thanks.

[@firenbubble]

Elle a l'air belle ton enclume ! Merci pour la vidéo

[@flatlinesup]

Love the bending jig. It looks very versatile, simple, and well made

[@Romezview]

thanks for all the videos! I really enjoy your approach to the art of blacksmithing.

[@gstongs]

It's my pleasure. Thanks for watching.

[@greasydot]

That's a really neat design. You pallet and dies worked really nice in bending the scrolls. What a wonderful artistic mind you have Glen.

[@gstongs]

I'm just getting started with my simple bending jig. I really enjoy using it. Trying my best and really appreciate your support. Thanks.

[@dougalexander7204]

Excellent. Always impressed by how clean and deliberate you work.

[@gstongs]

I liked working this one. Most of what I do is fairly simple and straightforward. Thanks and Merry Christmas.

[@trknust]

Nice Glen, and when you print the tee shirts that say "I make the mistakes so you don't have to" , I want one. I always appreciate your calm craftsmanship. Keeps me looking on your channel every time I go to KZbin. Tim

[@gstongs]

Ha! That's a really good one. I would definitely wear a shirt that said that. Thanks for the good laugh and Merry Christmas.

[@mckutzy]

That is cool. Nice work... I also like this set of tongs you have in this vid.. Aptly made and looks good to precisely handle the material well.

[@gstongs]

I'm glad you noticed that tong. A new style I'm working on... Thanks.

[@yorkshirejoinery2869]

Lovely, lots of interesting techniques! You bending jig seems to work really well! Another great video!

[@gstongs]

My bending jig is nothing fancy but I'm finding more and more uses for it. Glad you like this one. Thanks.

[@davidmolloy4298]

Could watch stuff like this for ages..

[@tonetoner8789]

I’m guessing when your proficient at making tongs....its second nature to make 2 pieces identical 😂. But seriously, this video just gave me a simple solution to a problem I’ve been overthinking. Thanks Glen. You da man

[@gstongs]

Very glad you could get anything from watching this. And you're very right - making so many tongs does help improve consistency. Thanks.

[@flatlinesup]

Simply beautiful design. Thank you Glen.

[@duaneaubuchon9453]

Very nice job sir really like how you made it!!!

[@gstongs]

I appreciate the support.

[@HWPcville]

Nicely done! Just a second before your "mistake" I had thought to myself "I wonder if it can be backwards....?". lol The reason that thought occurred to me is I've done the same type thing so many times. You did a nice recovery and kudos for not editing it out. Thanks for posting.

[@gstongs]

The next time I think to do something one way, I just need to remember to do the opposite and I can't go wrong! Thanks for watching.

[@northernwoodsman]

That anvil looks like an absolute unit.

[@gstongs]

I really enjoy using my small, block style anvils. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@PedalSteel-by2hx]

[@nestorknoxs3795]

I know they will love your present!!!👍🏻 Happy holidays!!

[@randallsummers6551]

Nice job. Think I might have countersunk the top side area of the rivet so a pot would set flat better and the rivet would be really stronger. Just my opinion. Good job thou, take care and God bless.

[@gstongs]

It's a good idea - I can understand your logic. But the feet are actually higher than the rivet on both sides (hard to see). But a countersunk rivet would look better... Thanks.

[@kensmapleleafretirement]

Thank you for the interesting video, nicely done.....

[@gstongs]

My pleasure. Thanks.

[@SuperJaXXas]

Excellent work Glen, as usual! Merry Christmas to you and yours, and may the good Lord keep and bless you all!

[@gstongs]

Thanks for your big order and being able to wait. Tools coming your way soon... Merry Christmas to you and your family and may God bless us all.

[@thoperSought]

that came out really nice! I wasn't sure how it was going to work, but either that pot is huge, or the trivet is smaller than I was imagining. fun to see the bending jig at work again. the overhead view at 1:30 was a great angle, too.

[@gstongs]

Some have criticized the overhead view but I also like it, sometimes... I think the trivet seems larger than it really is - my anvil and fire being small... Thanks.

[@thoperSought]

@@gstongs well for my part, it gave me a much clearer idea of what you were doing this time.

[@Onlyliveonce]

До последнего не мог понять что это будет😁👍,хорошая и аккуратная работа.

[@grandadz_forge]

Before it even happened to you, I was thinking, "if that was me I'd get one backwards for sure". Thanks for making me feel normal. Lol

[@gstongs]

I don't even need to think - next time, I just need to do the opposite of whatever my first thought is and it will certainly be correct. Thanks.

[@christophercraft957]

[@ademdogan7213]

Sérieusement j'adore tes marteaux si j'avais les moyens j'en achèterais une paire. P,S: superbe travail comme d'habitude

[@gstongs]

I'm very glad you like some of my tooling. Thanks and have a Merry Christmas.

[@georgem7965]

Glen: Two questions: 1) Why did you use a flatter or other tool when setting the central rivet rather than just the hammer? 2) Wouldn't it have made sense to counter sink the legs and the central rivet so that the legs and the rivet heads would be in a single plane? It seems to me that the trivet would be more useful with a uniform surface. Having the legs and rivet proud makes it more probable that something set on it would tip. Good video and good, pleasing design.

[@lenblacksmith8559]

Nicely done. Well done Glen.

[@gstongs]

Thanks very much. Have a great holiday season.

[@VuVanAnhA--]

Nếu tác dụng khác thì ko sao nhưng nếu chỉ để đặt cái ấm trà thì thật vô vị.

[@ericmorriscompany9648]

Very nice design. I like the bending jig too. How about making the four feet and rivet from brass or copper instead? Might be an interesting contrast.

[@gstongs]

That's an excellent idea. The feet and rivet would have looked great if made from copper or brass. Next time... Thanks.

[@geraldojosevalim7055]

[@fernandomaia8970]

Nunca tinha visto nesses ângulos

[@markspc1]

Nice work. Could you had forged weld the two halves instead of riveting ?

[@gstongs]

It is certainly possible but it would have been difficult for me and probably distorted the center of the piece too much. But definitely something worth trying. If I ever get back to using coal, I will do more forge welding. Thanks.

[@Flederratte]

Nice one

[@gstongs]

Thanks for sure.

[@nguyenchinh-vo8io]

do we need or have use for a teapot stand?

[@gstongs]

Yes, I don't drink tea but I often boil water for coffee in a teapot. Thanks.

Glen... no touchmark? Awesome and inspiring work as usual my friend. I’ll be placing another order soon for some more of those killer tongs.

[@gstongs]

You're right - I forgot to put my mark on this. Whatever I can do for you, just let me know. Thanks.

[@edwarddrost5299]

It wasn't a mistake, in my opinion, just a different design. Nice build, though.
