Forging the Valhalla Doors | Locking Bars | Part I

[@Mikeyw9119]

Idk how many people you have on your production team, but I always feel like I’m watching a special funded by HBO or something when I watch your videos. Insane quality, you handle the flow of the video brilliantly and I always learn something. I know it takes backbreaking effort to make content like this but keep it up man, always look forward to the next installment of your builds. Wish there was a magic button to get 10M views cause without a doubt they’d all be instant subscribers

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Aw wow!! I have to send the credit to my editors and composer! They're terrific! I really appreciate your kind words Mikey!

[@BillizMuzic]

YOURE DRAWINGS ARE A PIECE OF ART IN THEMSELVES. SO COOL.

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Thank you so much!! You can download them from my website too!

This man’s ancestors must have been dwarves because his forging ability is from another world. Keep up the amazing work.

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

I could only dream! Dwarves architecture is out of this world!

[@santomuro]

Sir, as a fellow blacksmith, carpenter, and history nerd for 15 years… you’re one of the most criminally undersubscribed channels on the internet. Phenomenal work my friend! So excited to dive into your work.

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

That means a lot to me Timothy! Thank you!!

[@tyrannosaur219]

My good sir, I have never seen your content before; I didn’t know you existed until a few minutes ago when a friend shared a clip of your work to me via discord, but I can safely say that I have been utterly astounded by the artistry and craftsmanship you display and I am fascinated by what you do. You have earned an instant subscription.

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Aw wow! I'm so glad you found me! Welcome aboard!

[@coopersm2]

Honestly Max, I'm amazed at how your brain works and how meticulous you are in the areas it counts most. Such an inspiration

Every time I watch one of your videos Max, I have a moment of "man I love his hair...how does he never singe or burn it!?" Keep doing what you're doing, I love it!

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Hah! It does get singed and burned sometimes, but just the ends.

[@alanbrookhart3581]

Can I just come be your camera guy, or if you have one already just sit outside and watch? Lol I would never get bored. Your skill is astonishing.

Iam glad i found your Chanel i Love your work and the musik that plays in your Videos. IT Matches perfekt with your Style.

[@rickpells6536]

I commented recently and you responded...I'm most appreciative of this...I saw a steampunk security box years ago....and began thinking about a very creative gate to delineate my carport breeze way from the backyard...I felt it needed a large key to twist and the features of the gate should change to indicate locked or unlocked Your bell tones are genius!! Then I saw the Vallhalla door locks ( completely fascinating)... Most inspiring....it cemented the idea I'll finish my propane forge and begin working on the gate. Warmest regards

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

What a fun idea! I’m so glad you enjoying the content!

[@LifeOfSi]

Audio 10/10, also send some of your creative imagination need to build some hinges for my own doors, maybe not as crazy as these doors but I want them to be the best I’m capable of 🤣

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

I finally invested in a mic! Haha

[@TheCelining]

I imagine that this guy is Hephaestus trying to blend in with people, and I would love to go to his workshop and see all the custom mechanical art that he has. I love people who do stuff like this, and I would put all their work in a museum

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

badass Max

[@robinvilleneuve3299]

Just a joy to watch you create Max. I'm trying to absorb as much knowledge as I can get. I do have a couple of questions if you have time. 1) are you cold setting the rivets and then heating to finish?2) you heat one of the plate points with the cutting torch, was that time lapsed? Seemed very fast and 3) WHERE WAS COPPER DOG!?

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

I'm so glad you're enjoying it! Yes, I set the rivets cold, then came back and forged them into place! My editor sped up a few cutting moments for sure!

[@Ser-Lusacan]

I so want a door like this when I get the money

[@WanderingLostMC]

I would just like to say, it is an absolute pleasure to watch your videos. They are so fantastically well done and put together. I do enjoy them and thank you for having them put out. Please pass my compliments to those who work behind the scenes that are there. I can also not put into words how inspiring your works are. They are fantastic and so imaginitive, and whimisical in the best of ways. You are an inspiration to those of us who cannot do such amazing work, for one reason or another. I would love to one day be able to make things on such a scale, especially such sculptural works as you've done. But for now I will continue to make in my small spaces, and continue to watch for your works.

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Thank you so much! I will absolutely share your kind words with my production team 😊 I hope you keep making your creations no matter where you are, we need more creators like you!

That is too kind of you! Thank you Seth!!

[@musicowl7901]

Hi. I know this is a bit left field but, I am a welder and I am starting my own art business. I have been following you for a while on KZbin and TikTok. You are an inspiration to me and a couple of my friends from college. We watched a bunch of your videos together. I had a question and I hope you have the time to answer it. When you were starting to get into metal art what was something you know now that you wish you had known then?

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Wow, that’s a great question! I wish I would have know my worth sooner, being humble is good, but there were so many times I cut myself short because I didn’t feel good enough. Thank you so much for the support!

[@raysimpson186]

Your work is truly awe inspiring! I wish I could come work with you, and maybe add just the smallest portions of myself to your genius. I am a welder/fabricator and dabble in blacksmithing/forging as well, but am not allowed the time to really add the artistry that you do. Someone mentioned time and I have wondered many times how long you really have in some of these projects...?

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Your personal touch would be so appreciated!

[@stephanierobinson7504]

These doors are absolutely stunning! It’s been so fun following your updates. Whatever happened to the lot next door? Your time limit is up right? I have been hoping it worked out for you.

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

We raised enough for me to make up the difference! The paperwork is getting filed as we speak!

[@stephanierobinson7504]

Wonderful! I’m so happy for you and can’t wait to see what the future holds!

[@amymandeville8342]

Watching you cut metal with the torch reminds me of an argument my ex husband and I used to have frequently. He insisted there was no such thing as a cutting torch and you could only use them for welding. My dad was a mechanic and welder by trade. I was right, he was wrong. His brother-in-law (also a welder by trade) would argue with him about it, too. Smh

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Hah! They most defintely cut!

[@amymandeville8342]

@@Max_Randolph_Studios they sure do!

[@tylerpopejoy1157]

Do you use oxy acetylene for all your cuts and if so why not hand plasma

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

I do! Because I can heat, cut, and weld with the exact same process!
