Very different from any thing I have seen. Love the work will follow from now on

[@miranda8141]

So nice to see you having fun with innovative techniques and interesting pieces! I’m really looking forward to seeing more of your videos. I worked as a production blacksmith in my 20’s, and now at 60 I’m setting up a small forge to play/make beer money. You have inspired me to try a variation on the fossil - they are fantastic! Thank you! Miranda

[@NigelBarnettArtistBlacksmith]

hi Miranda thank you ,keep forging and keep happy .

VERY COOL Nigel! Getting a nice even twist on a taper is a hard thing to do. You made it look almost easy.

[@shikamaru15x]

such a lively spirit you got nigel! and such a beautiful playful piece of art. thank you for sharing this in such a hard time that the world is going through. i would for sure give it a try in the shop! and the last part was truly awesome! watch your fingers with those firecrackers , you rascal!

[@NigelBarnettArtistBlacksmith]

Hi Elias thank you .i will be filming more of the work we do for you all to see .its nice to share things with others and we all need a good laugh ,most blacksmiths tend to blow things up even your welders when you over load them .

[@danteeales5701]

Awsome to see. I still have my fossil impression from the very first time in your forge on the basic forging course

[@NigelBarnettArtistBlacksmith]

hi Dante hope you are all well .more to come soon .

[@deejaymobile]

Loved your work Nigel! Thanks for another video and glad to see you're doing well in these crazy times too. Hope to manage to get over and see you again soon too. Dave :oD

[@NigelBarnettArtistBlacksmith]

Hi David, Thanks very much, it will be nice to see you if you come past this way when things are better!

[@leestephens1670]

Brilliant

[@klasandersson7522]

Wow, that was creative as nothing I've seen for a long time! Your skill is beyond good, and the end result is awesome!!! 👍 The end was somewhat of a surprise, but very entertaining! 😄 But then, with winter, covid and everything, it's the small things that lifts the day! 😉 // With awe from Sweden

[@NigelBarnettArtistBlacksmith]

Hi Klas things you should remember ,be kind to people and laugh at something each day and if you love your craft you never go to work .

[@davosfirebeard4495]

That was fantastic Nigel!

[@NigelBarnettArtistBlacksmith]

HI Davos thanks more to come soon now some of our big works done will find more time to play .

[@davosfirebeard4495]

@@NigelBarnettArtistBlacksmith Would love to see more of your work and the process behind it! I use one of your 1kg pro cross-pein hammers every day, although with far less skill than yourself, hah :) Maybe some day I'll be able to afford an Anyang 15Kg from you, and you've definitely sold me on the idea of an induction forge. All in good time though ;)

[@NigelBarnettArtistBlacksmith]

@@davosfirebeard4495 hi Keep a eye on my website i sometimes have second hand trade in power hammers ,just sold a second hand 15kg for 3k and will have another one soon as being traded in for a 55kg .so that 15 will be like new and 3k too ,I have new ones from £4700 all the time .

[@davosfirebeard4495]

@@NigelBarnettArtistBlacksmith noted for future! Cheers

[@faustocerroni1817]

bello.

[@TomofAllTrades]

What do you put on the scroll with the chip brush? Is it beeswax or flux?

[@NigelBarnettArtistBlacksmith]

hi Tom its beeswax and graphite .i melt the wax and put as much powder as i can .any thing to hold the graphite in solution will do .oil smell bad though .I use the same on all hot forging dies to stop things jamming then you can get them apart and not weld them together .

[@sebasreinartz]

Hello Nigel, I want to make this as a gift for my boss when I’m leaving the company because he is a big fan of fossiles! I’m wondering, what is this your puting on the fossile at 10:00 (water?) and what is it for? Thanks a lot for sharing !

[@NigelBarnettArtistBlacksmith]

hi its graphite powder in wax to stop it sticking in the outer shell when forge so it helps split it out .have fun .

[@davidmurphy1653]

Hi what size of induction heater is that & where did you buy it from. Thanks

[@NigelBarnettArtistBlacksmith]

hi David it is a 40kw but we have all different sizes and we are the UK dealer but can send anywhere and have dealers world wide check out our website .forgedironmongery.co.uk.

[@NigelBarnettArtistBlacksmith]
