Just found your video. I like this way of doing it rather than forging out the inside of the fork. I made my first hook yesterday and realizes I need a bending fork. That will be my afternoon project

[@billholly4317]

I am newly subscribed so I hope you haven't stop making videos. I liked this one because it seems like everyone is making knives these days. All the best.

[@jojomama4787]

You seem to be a hard man to find!don't know why but you kind of disappeared from my screen...glad to see you back!

[@johnathanvillarreal9193]

Nice to see someone going step by step for the new blacksmith

[@JarlSeamus]

Nice. The best tutorials have commentary instead of just a vid of you doing the thing. Explain the steps. Love it. Thanks

[@starforged]

Does drawing the handle out to a round matter? I draw it out to a tapered square so that I can use and end wrench to keep it perpendicular or square. It also helps knowing where square is. It's also handy to make a straight fork where you put the loop. Thank you very much for your video. I learned a lot. I like the way you split the for instead of upsetting it. Much faster and just as good.

[@colinroy9988]

The handle is entirely up to who is using it. I normally use all of my tools as is so I make them more ergonomic.

[@bestofdragoncon]

A good method to make a solid piece construction. Very nice video.

[@RichGotFish]

I appreciate the way you take the time to explain the process as you go. You have a new subscriber.

[@OKBushcraft]

Its refreshing to see a professional drop their work. It makes me feel a little less of a klutz. Id like to see a hold down tool or a spring fuller being made.

[@TufStockdogs]

Thank you for showing making this bending fork I hope to be able to do make one for myself but I am heeling better after my bad horse accident, I use forging as therapy and this helps so thank you God bless you buddy.

[@lenblacksmith8559]

Made one yesterday, turned out quite good. Thanks for the help on the video.

[@SouthernmostCowboy]

What do you use to hold the material when twisting it and how do you keep twist uniform?

[@Uncle_Matt_]

Thanks for the video Colin Roy. Enjoyed it. 👍🏼

[@colinroy9988]

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU WON send me an email at [e-mail] and i'll mail this over to you

[@waxnmoon8604]

Nice work. Where did you get your apron? I like that straps rest on your shoulder instead of your neck

[@colinroy9988]

That was a gift from my brother but it says forge-aprons.com on it so i assume that's where he got it.

[@waxnmoon8604]

Colin Roy Thanks and look forward to seeing more videos ⚒

[@lenblacksmith8559]

Colin when are you going to make more video's?

[@colinroy9988]

Sorry I've been away for so long. i am hoping to get a new one out in a few weeks. I am still working through orders from Christmas.

[@NotonlyWood]

I'm so glad that I've found your channel! This stuff is so helpful👍 I shared it in a WhatsApp Group with a couple knife makers and blacksmiths😃

[@johnnyej13]

Loved it. Will be making one tomorrow. Thanks

[@oljames1687]

..Good Job Colin!! This is a handy tool. How about a tour of your Shop?...

[@colinroy9988]

I've got a lot of cleaning to do before i'm ready for that, but i think i can swing it once things calm down

[@mikeromophp]

Nice video Colin! I like your approach. I’ve seen Mark Aspery’s version and this is a little different-I like it. Glad to see your channel is growing.

[@lenblacksmith8559]

Love it been wanting to make one of these. Well done.

[@joewarwaruk7656]

Awesome job!! Always a pleasure watching your videos

[@josediaz1484]

How about a hardy bending fork!?

[@wyoblacksmithtools3097]

Very nice! Because this is used to bend hot stock, can it be made from mild steel? The video shows almost a yellow heat. Is that accurate? Thanks again. Jerry

[@colinroy9988]

A rule of thumb is that the metal always looks hotter in the video than it actually is. That being said i am forging it at a bright yellow and it is made from mild steel. If you were bending some real big stock you might want to use 1045, but mild is fine for these the majority of the time

[@therealsampaskin8105]

awesome to watch, would be amazing to win this give away :D i start a blacksmith uni course in a few weeks

[@JoshuaMWright92288]

Thanks for all the educational videos

[@lenblacksmith8559]

colin how far between the forks?

[@colinroy9988]

Really however far you like. These ones are forged to have about an inch and a half gap

[@lenblacksmith8559]

Ok thanks mate.

[@kryptonicloser]

Just found your channel bro, I’m just learning and really like your vids but was wandering if you were thinking about makin any more. Cuz I know I could use all the lessons I can get haha

[@colinroy9988]

I am planning on making more. A new camera just came in the mail so i can get back to this. Sorry for such a long gap in between

[@kryptonicloser]

Colin Roy no worries bro... can’t wait for the new ones!

[@Lmr6973]

@@colinroy9988 So sad this channel is not active anymore. Hope everything is okay.

[@colinroy9988]

Lmr6973 still trying to make time to make some new videos. Been swamped with orders but I have a weekend booked out to do some the end of december

[@Lmr6973]

@@colinroy9988 Good to hear all is well. I really have enjoyed the content here. After about 12 failed attempts at making a set of tongs I think I finally saw what I needed in your video. Man has got to make a living first so if you're able to post new content you can be assured I'll watch it if not that's ok to. Thanks again for responding. Merry Christmas.

[@lenblacksmith8559]

Where you been Colin, are you ok?

[@colinroy9988]

Lenblacksmith yes I am ok haha. I have been building my new house and workshop which has been keeping me very busy, but I will be back making videos as soon as possible

[@lenblacksmith8559]

Good to know you're ok mate, that's good about the new house and workshop, good luck with it all and hope it all goes very well and to plan.

[@ozzyruler67]
