What came first.... the hammer...or.... the hammer???

[@CreamAle]

I would love to see you guys feature more honest hard-working locals like this. Glorify this type of work!

[@cavemanvi]

you can drive to your local hardware store to buy a hammer WE GET IT. lollll

[@snarshmallow]

Really enjoy these videos that aren’t necessarily just building cars, but experiences related to your work. And just watching you guys do random stuff.

[@jaylonchung9528]

19:02 but that means I need a hammer to make a hammer

"That's a fridge, that keeps the beer cold" - What a legend.

So you can get hammered after you've spent all day pounding your hammer.

Agree i strait started laughing

[@DeadRabitt77]

The best part..hits that line and moves on. Like its a normal question.

[@FuzzyCollieDoggo]

If you apply to a proper back woods auto shop and it don't have a beer fridge, your in the wrong shop

It didn't click until after a bit of googling but Corin is probably the most influential person in the Aussie knifemaking community. Gameco is massive!

For me this video shows you gents could do a video on literally any topic and I'd happily sit and watch it all evening! Congrats. Super import messaging as well about the importance of the experience itself. Something we should all be taking note of.

[@Violet_FireCat]

This was an absolute joy to watch, something different yes but just fantastic! Thank you MCM xXx

[@jeremydingeman2492]

My two passions coming together. Wild. Never thought i would see mighty mods in corins shop.

[@corinkayaker]

Neither did I. It was a fun day though

[@mr.hernandezdrives]

this was amazing, turns out i can watch you guys do anything and be entertained. sort of like watching the top gear guys. i can watch even if its not car related. maybe go learn how to grow some crops, agriculture in the fields.. the way we give more respect to those who put food out to the world.. stay healthy, stay blessed gentlemen.

[@damiensmith8641]

awesome vid guys. i have mad respect for these processes as i worked in a factory that made all sorts of forged hand tools from the age of 15 till my mid 20s, we also did all types of hammers. i love your car vids but also love seeing random vids like this. very cool guys, keep it up.

[@vespizzari]

Brilliant. My wife is a blacksmith and I have forged parts for my motorcycles. Nice episode.

[@F14Goose37]

I had a marketing professor who liked to tell us that you don't need to market to people who are looking for what you are making. You need to market to the people who do not know the value your product will add to their life. This video is just that. I never would have said to myself that I think I want to see Marty and Moog make hammers, but I sure did enjoy it and it definitely made my day a bit better.

[@jdselders8010]

It's funny how hard it was for me to wrap my head around phases of iron and heat treatment methods when I was in materials engineering class and in 35 seconds this man just explained the fundamentals in a way anyone can understand. What a legend.

[@CountPantsulon]

That's probably because they were teaching the "why" when all you need to know is the "what." (The "why" is quantifiable, which lends itself to relaying specifications for mass production at a remote location, while the "what" is a learned skill.)

[@jdselders8010]

@@CountPantsulon I disagree, I think we just needed the lab to take place concurrently instead of weeks later so we could observe and measure the changes in hardness, toughness, and brittle fracture characteristics to make it stick. The point of my comment was just to compliment how clearly and succinctly he explained the process of manipulating the grain structure of metal in a way that was easy to understand even with no context and without holding back technical concepts like the crystaline structre, austenite, martensite, etc.

[@CountPantsulon]

@@jdselders8010 That's a fair point. I'm familiar with the difficulty one can encounter when there's too much time between theory and practical classes, having encountered that during my apprenticeship program. I agree that he summed it up beautifully.

[@croutonshrubbery]

Never expected my 2 favourite KZbin subjects to combine.

[@magnusshawn4698]

Hey guys. Just received my black chopped hoodie. You should tell everyone how incredibly soft and comfortable they are. Love it!

[@RobsonRoverRepair]

This was some of the most enjoyable stuff you guys have made since the Ford factory visit. Really down to earth.

[@Mr16bit]

Love blacksmithing and knife making videos. Good to see you guys have a go.

[@BrentArmstrong]

Cool Video! I really like KZbinrs who make stuff. Alec Steele is a great blacksmith who I really enjoy watching. The satisfaction you get from making something from scratch and that sense of accomplishment is such a cool feeling. I wish more people these days had the confidence just to give something a go. For me, I’ll try most things and if I fail at it (I try not to get too frustrated…) then at least I learned something for the next time I try it. Anyways 👍🏼

[@lxfguits]

Allen keys is something I have found that the perfect hardness really matters on. I have a nice set that I have never managed to round the corners or damage it at all but the shafts also have enough flex to them to really reef on them. So no rounding off and not shattering either.

[@tkskagen]

This is maybe one of y'all's best Video's!

[@jessedk5008]

This was great, really enjoy that you guys are open to trying/learning different things. Like when you *baaaah!* your consenting neighbor’s *baaaah!* while they *baaaah!* the ever living *baaaah!* out of a turnip or golf club. Have a great weekend and cheers to ever expanding your abilities.

[@Hanky_Bannist8r]

It sure gives me a new respect for an art such as this. There's alot more than just brute force that goes into making tools.

[@avid4d15]

And Australian made… well done fellas for supporting Aussie industry!

[@christiaanvorster1988]

It doesnt need to be cars, aslong as tou both are the ones presenting it we will watch it all 💪🏻

[@eppyz]

Best line ive have heard in a long time..."That's the refrigerator, that keeps the beer cold" 😄👍

[@andrewwinch474]

Next week on MCM, we install a turbo and Haltec on our new hammers.

[@dalton6439]

This would make an awesome series "mighty car mods visits"

[@ghomerhust]

ive done some very simple smithing just to screw around and learn, and it's fascinating how they manipulate the metal and the chemical content. old tyme smithies were anything but simpleton dullards! really amazing process turning rocks into iron, and iron into steel, and steel into things that we use every day, without even thinking about how it got there. (sort of like those people that think a can of corn comes from the store instead of starting in a field being harvested by a farmer in a big machine!)((and yes i know what those machines are called, i grew up on a farm, i ran them!))

[@philjones2036]

Love how he flinched when they tapped the 2 hammer heads together 😂

Forged in fire!!

[@PaulChoix55]

"Nice grain like a wagyu steak" You'd be surprised how true that comparison can be! A normalized piece of steel, when prepared for grain analysis (polished and attacked with an acid) will show a marbled pattern similar to steak! Forget about it after hardening though, it will look like a pile of needles. That's martensite's shape.

[@shaunmarks7491]

So we go from boosting mopeds and restoring classic JDM's to all the sudden doing a "Fordged In Fire" episode of making a hammer? ..... in Australia?!?! I have to give it to ya I still enjoyed the episode and I love you guys but I do feel this came out of left field and I had to read the title a couple of times cuz I thought it was wrong! Lol

you guys are musos; maybe you could try your hand at building your own guitar and/or bass? it's a hobby that's blown up in popularity overt he past 10 years. I could help... if you're ever down in Adelaide... But it's good fun and you don't need a full on workshop to build a guitar, though a few certain machines (that you can get at bunnings) and a few job specific tools (that are a bit harder to get) definitely help
