Nice to see you back in the forge. Sorry to hear for the loss but great to hear of the new future blacksmith. Well done video enjoyed.

[@FamilyForge]

Thanks!

Hello, Delilah! And love seeing you all again! Fascinating tool-making process. I love the coordinated effort between man and machine (the power hammer, specifically). The finished product is beautiful. 😍💕

[@FamilyForge]

Thanks!

[@florincochintu8691]

What steel is used to make this tool?

[@Kleinschmiede]

GREAT to see you again! With a new blacksmith... so cute! And a very nice vid! Thank you!

[@FamilyForge]

Thanks!

I was so happy to see the notification of a new video from this channel! Your Dad lights up pinging the hammer for Delilah and her overalls are so cute! So sorry to hear about Heidi girl, I know how much you and your family loved her... she had a good, long life with you guys.

[@FamilyForge]

Thanks, Cathy! My dad is obsessed with Delilah and LOVES being a grandpa!

[@lyssthehobbyist]

SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU BACK!! Delilah is the absolute cutest. And what a neat tool! is that a persimmon at the end there or a funky looking apple? Incredible job as always you guys 🤯

[@FamilyForge]

Thanks, Alyssa! The apple-shaped one at the end is an Asian pear.

[@ghrrum]

Heeey! Glad to see you guys back at it. My daughter and I have been looking forward to seeing you do more.

[@ArmySoldier1972]

Ps. Such a cute baby, Congrats

[@FamilyForge]

Thanks!

[@kquarrier]

Clara, really glad you're making more videos. Loved seeing Delilah and your Dad! It was neat seeing the combination of power hammering and hand work. I was surprised at how Ned made the power hammer operate so delicately. We have one of Ned's weeders and love it.

[@FamilyForge]

Thanks, my dad says hi!

[@FarmsteadForge]

Great to see you back, congratulations on the little one!

[@FamilyForge]

Thank you!

[@threeriversforge1997]

Great work. I've actually had one of those weeders on the to-do list for quite some time, but never seem to get around to forging one. Nice to see the process, especially the peening at the end.

[@FamilyForge]

Thanks, I had seen many weeders over the years but hadn't actually seen him make one until filming this!

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Congratulations. Glad to see a new video. Can't wait to see more updates an projects and many more videos soon my friends. Forge On. Fab on. Weld On, keep making. God bless.

[@FamilyForge]

Thanks, glad to be making videos again!

[@ernieduncan602]

First time viewer here, Awesome video, patient and thoughtful explanations about your process, farm and garden tools were what initially inspired me to begin my journey into blacksmithing, If ya don't mind sharing, you mention tool steel, have you found you like any particular tool steel/high carbon formulation? I love the hexagonal stock btw it seems like it would provide some additional rigidity especially if you were to use it on any long handled tools

[@RVsbladesnthangs]

Welcome back, I'm back in my shop as well. Just need to work on my video quality. Y'all are doing an amazing job!!!

[@FamilyForge]

Thanks!

[@calebcordell4793]

So glad to see you posting again. Love the videos. Your little one is so precious.

[@FamilyForge]

Thank you so much!

[@rock_machine01]

Let’s see some more? Seeing all those tools in the background implies you might be a master. Let’s see it!

[@juniortamutututyiatutyia1717]

👏👏👏

[@jaysanders7472]

So do you sharpen it by peening it or file

[@FamilyForge]

Mostly peening with a little touch up filing at the end

[@jaysanders7472]

Yea I got in a hurry. Just as your father started talking about that I had just hit send. Thank you anyways.

[@rock_machine01]

Looks like a classic Yankee weeder?
