I wish my wife would come out to the shop and do a project! You did great! Thanks for sharing. 🙏🎉🙌

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Thanks for watching!

[@bronsonstephens5799]

I Love Seeing the Misplaced Blows that You Don’t See Very Much Of With Professionals, it’s so Relatable.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Thanks Bronson. I totally second guessed myself if I should share a video like that, since I don't have much in the way of skill. I'm glad you enjoyed it though. ~Jessica

[@Ironivyforge]

I really want to see more of this great lady blacksmith doing her stuff!

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

I am working on a video ☺️ you will probably see it out in about a week -Jessica

[@rbfcaf]

Nice work Jess. This is the teaching beginners like me appreciate.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Thanks rbf caf. I can't say that I'm teaching much, just trying out a technique. Glad you liked it! ~Jessica

[@josephbigelow2698]

OMG!!! I love your little pointer hand!

[@reneemills-mistretta790]

That's really nice and doesn't look too difficult for a beginner. Thank you.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

You are welcome. Thanks for watching Renee! It was fun to make. ~Jessica at Christ Centered Ironworks

[@reneemills-mistretta790]

@@ChristCenteredIronworks I hope you share more. Not enough women forge but we are gaining ground. 😀 God Bless

[@jamesgleason9501]

Loved seeing a beginner on here. Wish her the best of luck in the future

[@cajunpipesmoker1519]

Good job for a first time!

[@thomasjewell503]

Trust pointer finger Roy made cracks me up. Lol it both funny and cool....

[@thomasjewell503]

Great job Jessica!!!

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Thank you Thomas. I appreciate you watching. ~Jessica

[@MartinBruleJr]

Great video and very relevant as my daughter has celtic blood in her and turning 11 this summer. I think this could be the perfect next project! Also, that pointer hand is EPIC and I must make one! HAHAHAH. CCI will always get credit for it too!

[@markjauregui8138]

Good work, very helpful for learning...

[@varun009]

I lost it as the pointer finger rod! Clever way to show off your skills as a blacksmith after the fact as well as during any ongoing project while not burning your actual fingers.

[@larryking606]

Jessica , I Believe that you did a Very Good Job on that double reverse Twist ! Keep up the great work ! KEEP HAMMERING !

[@ffcrick9144]

Great job Jessica you and Roy are touching so many lives. Thank you and God Bless you both 📖✝

[@damienlovestheoutdoorsandr6110]

Thank you very much for the upload. I hope you start making the celtic bracelets. Because I would like to own one. It was a nice piece of work.

[@billssmithy7352]

Sorry to say I just watched this. Gives me more ideas for non-edged smithing. Thanks.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

That's alright :-) Thanks for watching

[@guiltyspark7933]

Cool to see you working.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Thanks :)

[@allfiredupltd9108]

Fantastic video hope I see more of you behind the camera great work

[@reprosser]

Great job - especially for first try. Now I have to go for a first try...Love the "finger"!

[@jeffsandling5981]

Good job Jess, looks great! I've been straightening my twists on a wood block so I don't smash the detail. I like how you point out your mistake and explain what happened, that really helps. Thanks, great video! Can't wait to show my daughter this one😊

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Thanks Jeff! Yeah, I try to explain my mistakes, because hopefully others can learn something from it. Thanks for watching :) ~Jessica

[@marcs4738]

That 1st spiral rolled up real nice.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Thanks. I should practice that more :)

[@waskasoometalworks3329]

I appreciate the fact you don't make everything look super easy. i feel like most channels they "flex" their skills which can cause anxiety in learners. I feel like beginners are great at teaching because they aren't afraid of making mistakes. KEEP IT UP!!

[@robmiller7]

that pointer finger bloody funny...respect the pointer

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Yup, lol :)

[@zxc1972]

Aaaand that's this Christmas sorted.

[@ankurroy8518]

Didn't expect that pointer 😆

[@jlsteelcrafts8378]

Way to go! Cool project.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Thanks

[@TufStockdogs]

Thank you for sharing this whole making it

[@gingetaylor4489]

Good video, it shows the difficulty beginners may have when twisting etc. I'm showing this to my wife who will hopefully get the bug.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Yep, I struggled with the twist. I had a fun time though, and I bet your wife would too! ~Jessica

[@billssmithy7352]

Just re-rewatched this. Please excuse my enjoying someone other than myself struggling to draw a taper. But you didn't cave; well done!

[@ravensedgebushcraft1681]

Great video Mrs. CCI.

[@firebird8600]

Looks great, Jessica!

[@jrgaston8891]

Thank you for making this video. I'm trying to get my daughter interested in blacksmithing.

Keep it up and Roy will be filming for you all the time👍

Good job Jessica!

[@tobyjo57]

Well done Jessica great to see you having a go at what Roy does, I will try to make one for my girl too

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

I bet she'll love it. Thanks for watching! ~Jessica

[@tobyjo57]

I watch every day I find Roy's work and expertise quite amazing and you make a great team. I'm 66 years of age and getting set up to start decorative blacksmithing as one of my hobbies, done very little in the past mostly simple brackets and stuff but I did get to the point where I could manage to shape and get a shoe on my horse after a farrier taught me. I guess first thing I will have to make is a bunch of tools although I do have a superb anvil and gas forge already. I'm excited to watch my CD plans dvd that I recently purchased. Thanks to you both for sharing such trade secrets. Toby

[@brettsayers7768]

Fantastic for first attempt Jessica, better than I could do.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Thanks Brett!

Nice job Jessica. Roy your going to have to set up a new anvil for the new smithy in the family. 😎

[@bentoombs]

👍👍 good job. That came out good. I made something similar yesterday but it's a hair tie

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Cool. I'll have to look at some designs for that. Have a wonderful day! ~Jessica

[@bentoombs]

Christ Centered Ironworks Jessica there's some pretty cool bracelet designs you can do with leather strapping also. that I kind of got the idea for the hair ties with the steel Chopstick that goes through it. I don't know I don't wear them. Lol

[@MrJamesjustin]

Nice job ma'am.

[@manofculture467]

Really want to do this

[@BrianDaleNeeley]

Jessica, you can now tell Roy to go inside, take care of the kids, and do the packing (for orders, don't throw him out just yet!! 😜). But seriously, the bracelet looks nice. I noticed where you burnt the steel (Roy did a great video showing what burnt steel looks like).

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Thanks Brian, but I'll leave the majority of the forging up to Roy :) I just like to go out every now and then for fun. ~Jessica

[@WilliamRodricks]

[@grahamwoolaston5609]

Looks great should see my first one lol

[@grandmastuffums1510]

you should do another one of these but without using a torch (mostly because I dont have one)

[@richardallgood815]

Really nice job! I will make one for my daughter. She will love it. I wonder if you could start with the twists and then do the tapers to help keep it centered?

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Yeah, I think you could do it that way. Thanks for watching! ~Jessica

[@TheNuggetshooter]

Great job - how long was the piece of rod that you started with? And, how long was it when you finished both or your tapers? Great job!

[@moderndaydad8654]

Great job and from a Celt these are called torques

[@christopherbright1048]

Very nice as a beginner Smith I understand the difficulties I might say it would be nice to have some measurements to judge by

[@starforged]

Great video. I like how you showed mistakes then how to correct or avoid them. I also enjoyed watching you beautiful wife. Thank you.

[@jacobflorence2902]

I love the work you guys do. How do you finish the steel jewelry to keep it from rusting and be safe on the skin?

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Hi Jacob, we use rustoleum clear coat enamel spray paint. Thanks for watching! ~Jessica

[@mage8838]

Very nice wotk. Roy you have some competition now so you eill have to wotk harder#!!

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Lol, Roy doesn't have to worry about any competition from me. He's got a 10 year head start! Thanks for watching, Jessica

[@Loan--Wolf]

im not a blacksmit so i wont try to give advice on that i have how ever slung a few wrenches around in my day pick your twist point before you heat and set the wrench to size first will make it lots easier to make the twists

[@gummybear848]

i think whats happening is the metal is cooling and shrinking which is why your wrench was slipping off. It fits when its hot and expanded but when it cools and the metal shrinks. I have seen ppl modify small pipe wrenches for twisting metal though.

[@alexisvanderford3279]

What length of stock did you use??

[@shadowcastre]

Very nice! You need to have hammer in hand more often... :-) Thanks for the video...

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Yeah, I'd like to. Although it doesn't look it, it took me about 3 hours to forge this bracelet. ~Jessica

[@servefood6624]

Why did you use a torch for the twists instead of the fire? I’ve only been smithing for six months, but we only ever use the fire for twists.

[@st0n3p0ny]

"She's got a little metal hand pointer just like that other blacksmith guy's channel, oh, durr..."

[@mervwright2611]

Ok Roy i don't know what you are going to do now. Seeing that Jessica has the show and you'll be selling your hammers. I;m sure you will find something to do. Maybe a gardening show. :)

[@coreyshier7526]

Nice Job, Jessica !! This is a great idea that could be a great seller! I have a suggestion. . . How about you get outta the office and in front of the camera more often forging and call it "Jessica's Corner" ??

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Thanks Corey. That does have a nice ring to it, "Jessica's Corner". We'll have to see :) Have a great day! ~Jessica

[@anthonykent7983]

Totally agree you need your own slot from time to time. Hope you enjoyed the switch around as much as I did! Thanks Sis Anthony Kent

[@TufStockdogs]

Lol hello Jessica you need to get more ata boys then you get I really think lol today I got to make a braclet using a horseshoe but I must say you make the bracelet making look easy,, .but I hope I can share IT AIN'T!! .but great job I do say you do
