I tried to make a bowl and this happened…

[@doupils6823]

Its amazing to see how much you guys improved in videography compared to when you started. Im digging the lack of music and just the sound of metal being worked. Keep up the good work!

[@e303gt]

The camera work when you dropped the cutoff thing in the quench tube was hilarious.

[@jessebob325]

5:36 Tool drop. 😄

[@mikerosene8904]

I can’t like the comment out of respect for the number of likes it currently has.

[@stubby_nub]

i absolutely love that there is not some obnoxious loud ass music being overlaid to the montage of work being done. 10/10 in my book

[@bridgetiswrong8684]

I like that you didn't have any music playing. Made it more peaceful to watch.

[@da300mann2]

I remember when that S guy made cool things too. Now, his channel has become a brand infomercial, for the most part, with builds that drag on for weeks. Oh, and "reaction" videos. I understand you guys are friends, but don't allow yourself to go down that road. Keep building and growing.

[@blubberboy1897]

Having sponsors and creating new content is the literal definition of “building and growing “

[@da300mann2]

@@blubberboy1897 Keep building items, such as this bowl and growing your skill set. Not grow your brand and become boring AF to watch. I remember "less yack yack, more whack whack". Long before reacting to fake forging on TV... 😉

[@draven86]

The true spirit of Christmas is never forget who your true friends are.😉 Merry Christmas Will 🎍🎄

[@tak-cc3em]

I love his sweater ☺️

[@Whoozerdaddy]

You could always call it a "helmet'" Will. [Made that comment before you put it on your head!]😀

[@danielmoss2394]

Superbly edited. The whole sequence of breaking the bar apart was fantastic.

[@bobmyersco]

About halfway through I realized what was so good about this video: no music! Instead, we could actually hear the sounds of the workshop! Keep it up!

[@TaranTatsuuchi]

That slow pan down on the quenching tank was just... _Chef's Kiss_

[@mitch305]

I vote for a basket. It could hold lots of decorative items but I think it's best and highest usage would be to be lined with a red and white checkered dish towel and stacked full of piping hot and beautifully browned home made biskets like Mom used to make. Slathered with butter of course!

[@siedpe13]

Need to make some metal fruit for the basket. Maybe a rusty apple, a bronze banana

[@timm1139]

Maybe a molten melon?

[@ThatWorks]

I think it counts as a “dish”. Pretty neat lil piece of art!

[@paultucker2027]

You need a wire mesh tray on a rod/wire/string at the bottom of your quench tube for Easy retrival of dropped items.

[@NerdFightThis]

This type of editing with cool shots and natural sounds instead of music .. that's where it's at.

[@MartinAhlman]

In the 17th century, my ancestors went from Gent, Belgium, to Sweden to work as blacksmiths. They were very proud and haughty (and very, VERY, stubborn), as they they were blacksmiths (they were a little better than the rest LOL). They dressed in a long, striped shirt (like a dress, but hardier), clogs, and a leather apron. They always kicked off their clogs before enterering any house, which was odd at the time. With that kind of ancestors I couold only travel down the same path as they had before me. So I studied music instead of becoming a blacksmith. I'm stubborn too. Same path of being stubborn as hell :-D I hope you're having a wonderful Christmas!

[@MikeT]

In the world of wood turning, I was always told if it can hold water, its a bowl. if it cant, its art.

[@Spronkadunk]

I love this bowl shaped object.

[@jessebob325]

Yes, it's a bowl by definition. (Bowl: a concave usually nearly hemispherical vessel : a rounded container that is usually larger than a cup) An idea for your quench tank. Make a metal net (or bowl with holes) and attach a long (the length of your quench tank's depth + extra) wire to it. Leave wire attached bowl in the quench tank with the extra wire sticking out and bent over to the side (to keep it out of the way, right?). Now you can more easily retrieve dropped items. 💡😉 Well done. 😀☕👍

[@scootertrashtx]

Fill it full of beach glass, or multi-colored polished rocks, the contrast would be delightful! Love the video, thanks for sharing!

[@JETWTF]

Bowl is a shape not an object. The interior part of a colander is the bowl of the colander, where you put the tobacco in a pipe is the bowl of the pipe, the interior of a crater is the bowl of the crater, where the wine goes in a wine glass is the bowl of the wine glass. A soup or salad bowl is a dish that has a bowl shape to contain the soup or salad but is just called a bowl though the whole object is not itself a bowl. Oh and that look when you dropped the cutoff tool in the oil tank... Priceless!

[@zachpetty2930]

I really like the close up shots of the steel moving under the press, but great video as always keep up the good word my friend.

[@rodnattrass7021]

thank you so much for well recorded audio that is properly mixed. I so much prefer this to the music video style of editing to music

[@BadForgeWeld]

That hot cut is so simple and beautifully done. Taking nothing away from the magically beautiful knives and other things you’ve made, this might be one of my favorite things you’ve done.

[@vandewt800xl]

That is beautiful! I'm team basket, woven wrought. Love to see you working with some wrought and using it's quirks and texture in a unique way. There is so much potential with wrought for artistic textures and you nailed it. It really turned out great! Looking at the finished product I was thinking it would look great lit up from inside, maybe candle holder?. The same concept could make an amazing light fixture, go more like a near sphere, hanging from some chain with a vintage style bulb inside.

[@BeatleJuice108]

Loving the editing of this video! And the bowl came out fantastic

[@stoneinthefield1]

What a cool piece. I love having old steel and wood with a history.

[@QuinBarhaug]

It’s what you want it to be. Art is whatever you see it as. Great inspiration 👌

[@Grandwigg]

Will really bowled me over with the gag with the material for the hot cut as a hammer. Will has wrought something amazing on this one. Seriously though, taking the what many would call flaws in a material to make something lovely and useful is a great thing .

[@chitterman]

I would call it a bowl holder and put a clear or colored translucent bowl inside of it for a center piece on my living room table or have it by the fire place to hole your fire starter stuff. I love it that is amazing you truly inspired me with this project. Merry Christmas

[@jameshobbs1460]

I bet you could come up with some kind of liner or bowl in a bowl/basket.. Merry Christmas Will .. Great Vid.

[@ryanjones8757]

Epic! Kinda reminds me of wood coal as well

[@markrico1917]

Basket, bowl, whatever you call it - great idea and excellent execution!

[@poe8259]

It's a BSO... bowl-shaped object. Merry Christmas Will.

[@If-ish]

That came out great. If you try something similar again I'd suggest taking a sheet of glass and heating it up so it flows down into the bowl, should deal with any sharp edges and it'd hold water.

[@Offsauce]

Fun to watch the process and the result is Art

[@markkollman870]

Art for arts sake is the best. Cool BOWL.

[@RedBeardOps]

True artisan here...

[@leehenry1165]

Merry Christmas, Will!

[@frankcoldwell4424]

A bowl from wrought iron? Isn’t that a helmet? 😂😂😂

[@knifethrower9733]

Yeah that's what I was thinking, looking like a medi evil helmet after its been rusting for a few hundred years.

[@steadfasttherenowned2460]

It's actually a mold for cutting a squire's bowl haircut

[@brendanoneill6267]

That's a matter of perspective

[@brendanoneill6267]

But definitely not a soup bowl!

[@benbubear8046]

Everything's a helmet if you try hard enough

[@sambaggins2798]

Very nice gift. Can’t beat something made by hand for a meaningful Christmas gift.

[@melgillham462]

Artistic expression is in the eye of the artist. It's a bowl. And the material is unique. Well executed. It would likely sell for a mint at an art boutique. Something to note. A short limited acid bath would clear the ash and antique the brazing. And a oil mixed with wax would preserve and seal it. I love wrought iron. Amazing stuff Will. Belated Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year! Now on to the hot cut.. dude. Ya gotta give it away.. that is not a Montana hot cut. That's a Texas hot cut. It's too big...🤣😜

[@b2bogster]

The texture is incredible! Great project Merry Christmas and happy new year Will.

[@8ank3r]

That looks great, I wasn't sure about the joints at first but at the end it all came together

[@thomascaldwell184]

Merry Christmas Will! All the best for you and yours. Also, your camera person is top notch. Love the camera work in this.

[@steadfasttherenowned2460]

I love how tender and caressing the big hammer can be when you want it to be gentle with you.

[@azgarogly]

Put your... something in it, right?

[@42bonsai]

perfectly imperfection --Thanks Will.

[@higheriam]

Artsy for sure... Like the result.🎄⛄

[@garetkonigsfeld2]

It counts as awsome. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@BCM1959]

Bowl, basket, whatever. Its cool. Would definatly display. Merry Christmas!

[@dan725]

ok that came out REALLY cool! I’d put lemons and oranges from my yard on it if I had one! This is just super cool.

[@jangrahame4891]

Awesome! Merry Christmas Will!

[@Paul_Lane]

Pretty cool looks kinda like The Crown of Thorns. Nice project and Merry Christmas.

[@goretoothrender]

Great video. Love the little moments like the reaction between you and the camera when you dropped the hot cut in the cooling oil. Any chance we could have a Marty themed tshirt anytime soon?

[@alanspeert8351]

Interesting use of a cutting touch to braze with

[@paulacarroll9665]

LOVE your sweater!!! And the bowl is a beautiful work of art!

[@ArmyCop]

Neither a bowl nor a basket. It's a “bowlsket”. You're welcome. 😄 Happy Christmas to you and yours, Will!

[@X22GJP]

It’s a bowlinder

[@zakseipel9494]

I really like how this power hammer seems so much more tame or quiet. I am not sure if it is just the recording but comparing that to others it was almost gentlemanly.

[@kschleic9053]

It's because of how massively powerful this hammer is... With an expert controlling it, it doesn't have any recoil because it moves the metal as much as intended and then retracts casually 😂

[@avoirdupois1]

I really enjoyed the visual storytelling in this video. The dialogue was more minimalistic, highlighting the imagery. I vote for basket. It's really quite attractive. Also: 10:44 Anyone else think of a giant tarantula here?

[@brunobarks6544]

Merry Christmas brother. Much love. God bless 🙏

[@johnsharkey2699]

[@joelblair8339]

[@hamijoh]

That’s a great sculpture.

[@dbquad]

Great piece of art.

[@telldeatrich3593]

A person will spend a few days making something for a friend or family, but wouldn’t spend the equivalent dollar value to buy something for them… and that is my favorite part about giving and getting handmade gifts.

[@Zogg1281]

That Hardy tool is comically large! 😂 As for the bowl/colander/basket/nest decision being "up in the air", I wouldn't worry about it too much because it should come back down again quite quickly as it looks pretty heavy 😁 Sorry, I couldn't help myself on that one 😂😂😂😂 Hope you had a great Christmas. Happy New Year 👍👍👍👍

[@laughinghyena001]

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

[@akiwi2562]

Merry Christmas Will, that basket gets more beautiful the more I watch... The brazing contrasts so nicely. Hope you're warm and toasty.

Merry Christmas Will!

[@JD-uq1tw]

Merry Christmas Will. I love the bowl. (basket?) Either way it turned out amazing. Hopefully Santa will bring you a set of welding tips so you aren't having to braze with your cutting torch any more. Again. I love the bowl and I love the work you do.

[@paultucker2027]

You could make a great spider with that stuff

[@ccconsulting]

Looks amazing. Nice job bud

[@AngelLuisTrinidad]

It looks more like a basket, but it's beautiful. It's art.

[@judoangelus1]

Looks like coaled wood, looks very cool actually!

[@samuellee1471]

It looks great but I would recommend using some 1/8" brazing rod next time

[@davidnicholson6680]

[@coltonmullins2274]

That's a basket brother. Looks awesome.

[@electrictommichael]

Philosophically I think that's a basket. Wonderful looking as well

As you were making it, I couldn't help but think it started to look more and more like a medieval torcher device that you put on someone's head. xD
