You forge with the precision of an engineer. Never a disappointment to watch. Bravo.

I’m learning to become a carpenter but blacksmithing is cool aswell

[@williamcunha9136]

Awesome Work and I vote your shop is the Cleanest and Tidiest Shop in the World!

[@alexanderkao-sowa8841]

A classic case of beauty in simplicity. Thanks for the video!

[@alexhamon9261]

Already know I'm gonna love it. The cleanliness of your forgings are always top notch.

[@douglasfathers4848]

Pre drilling the hole to start is a grate idea makes things so much easer and accurate .

[@GHuber-xh5vv]

Good idea to drill the hole first and then forging.

[@AshishSharma-rv2fu]

Nice work

[@reginabivona1282]

Very sharp drill bit!!! Great work....

[@dumankral8812]

good job

[@hakonbusk5111]

What a beautiful hammer! Good work! Never seen that type of wedge before, must work great!

[@rigoniironworks]

Thanks, yeah I'm trying this instead of a metal wedge. It seems to push the eye gaps a bit tighter.

[@SchysCraftCo.]

It turned out very well there my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Keep Making. God Bless.

Everything is so proper like never should, i dont know but i feel some hannibal lecter vibe lol

[@remibedard5494]

The quintessential sledge hammer extremely well executed . I love that you broke the edges of the cheeks It's a nice touch. Oh and btw I just received a swageblock that I had Cnc'd from your pattern with very few adjustments It's a lovely piece of kit works a treat so thank you for that! Cheers!

El día que los gringos 🇺🇸 no tengan electricidad, cierran el país y se van a Cuba, Pakistán u otro lugar , a aprender de la gente que depende más de su ingenio que de un ejercito de máquinas ..... Miren los videos de los herreros rusos que generalmente no tienen mucha tecnología y además, no usan guantes para cuidar sus manos ..... Bravo por los Verdaderos herreros !!!!!. Desde Argentina, un saludo a los gringos 🇺🇸 que cuidan sus manos de princesa.....

how heavy is that sledge? i really want a 2lbs sledge but can not buy them locally in South Africa

[@rajasinger780]

Kitne ka milta hai

[@jeremygraham2805]

How much do you charge for one of your superb sledge hammers?

[@rigoniironworks]

Hi, I'm taking a break from orders, working on new stuff, will update in the new year.

[@rajasinger780]

Batao kitne ka milta hai

[@andyferguson4173]

It turned out well for a $10 hammer.

[@bobwhelk2117]

Do you make any money? - all the wasted time keeping things excessively clean and tidy doesn’t really add up. Unless this is a occasional hobby?

[@Elektronaut]

Wait, are you negging a blacksmith?

[@remibedard5494]

Who are you?

[@bobwhelk2117]

@@remibedard5494 Just your friendly neighborhood blacksmith trying to figure out what is going on with a huge shop and very little signs of dust, oil, or heavy wear & tear. I’m more intrigued on how he keeps it so living room clean all the while blacksmithing everyday. Finish products look great. Maybe he can do a shop tour video and throw in how he keeps things clean. If one were to watch 97% of blacksmithing videos you’d understand my conundrum.

@@bobwhelk2117 Nothing wrong there sorry for being a bit dry. I thought you were being more judgmental than it seems now. Hey have a good Friday!
