Blacksmithing for beginners: How to forge a snake from rebar

[@robertstull5761]

I really like the snakes, I am just starting blacksmithing my self I am going to try them thank you God bless

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Thanks, they were one of the first things I learned to make, Best of luck and God bless! I appreciate you watching!

[@paulorchard7960]

I like the forging stick, will be a part of my tooling from now on! I use a wooden mallet but the stick can do what a mallet cannot, never thought of that! You won a sub for that!

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Thanks! I appreciate you watching!

[@jameswalker6810]

I use a forging 2x4

[@mikecoy9219]

Just found this today…going to try a couple tonight! Thank you!

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Thank you for watching! I greatly appreciate it!

[@jasonbailey9837]

Nice video, I've been forging for awhile and have not made any of these so today is the day, the kids will get a kick out of it. Thanks for the ideas 💡 and instruction.

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Thanks! My kids love them, they work pretty well at keeping critters out of the garden as well. Thanks for watching I appreciate it.

[@danielgurriell4315]

Just starting out and gonna try this tomorrow! Also I loved how well you explained the process it made it really to follow and understand

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Fantastic! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I appreciate you watching!

[@normalcitizen_1]

Great video and I just love the way you talk, easy to understand and entertaining 10/10 would recommend

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Thanks! I appreciate you watching!

[@randyfox7570]

Damn, I've been wasting hours upsetting the head because it made sense at the time. Your snakes turned out great in probably a quarter of the time, and effort.

[@mikebania1655]

That is rad!

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Thanks! I appreciate you watching!

[@rlgroshans]

Great project! And very good instruction for the beginner. I now know what to do with all this rebar I found beside my garage. Thanks!!!

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Thanks! I am glad it helped, your more than welcome, I appreciate you watching!

[@chrisinvestigateschrisinve3249]

Pretty cool project. I am away from the shop this week but I will give this a go when I can get home. Thank you for sharing.

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Thanks for watching!

[@simpleforging3339]

Very good assortment of basic techniques involved in making one of these little buggers

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Right on, forging one of these was one of the very first things I ever made, the other being the good ole coat hook. Thanks for watching I appreciate it.

[@jacksonstubbs6110]

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Thanks you! Thanks for watching!

[@GUNSLINGEROUTDOORS]

Dig it.. quick an easy 🇺🇸🤠

[@Mysticmountainforge]

thanks!

[@jacobdillon3635]

What length of rebar?

[@Mysticmountainforge]

I normally use 18 inch pieces. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!

[@jacobdillon3635]

@@Mysticmountainforge keep up the good work! I loved the feather, you mentioned in that vid that you would do some things differently, what exactly would you do

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Thanks! I would have made it more pointed, I would have liked to have curved it a little as well, just things like that to make it a little more natural looking.

[@gurvinderkau1e5w18]

Was just wondering why not getting notifications. To my amazement i was unsub from your channel. Anyways sub again. Very cool looking cobra. Rebar was a very good choice.👍👍👍👍

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Thanks for watching, I really like the look that rebar gives them. It's probably because I had to start a new channel, I got hacked and lost everything that was on my other one, 2200 subs, 176000 views and 500000 watch minutes all gone. I am working with KZbin and Google trying to get it fixed.

[@billssmithy7352]

The fun part is thinking "How's he going to do that?" and then thinking "Of course, why didn't I think of that!" I'm not very imaginative, but I can do most things once I see I t cone.

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Im the same way, thanks for watching I appreciate it!

[@shanerussell7395]

You said you sell them for 50 is that 25 a piece or 50 each

[@Mysticmountainforge]

25 a piece, thanks for watching I appreciate it!

[@dudleybarker2273]

FYI, that flat bit on the snake is called a hood, not a cape. the confusion probably comes from the name 'Cape cobra', which probably gets its name from the Cape of Good Hope where it was first discovered - and Cape Town also happens to be my hometown, so the Cape cobra is well known to us here. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_cobra

[@Mysticmountainforge]

Thanks for filling me in, I appreciate it and I appreciate you watching.

[@dudleybarker2273]

@@Mysticmountainforge funnily enough, i made some snakes about 3 years ago and used almost exactly the same technique as you did (even used rebar), so watching you make them was a real joy for me. but a friend of mine went one better and put tiny ball bearings in the head for eyes.
