Good job! People like you should be helped by public institutions in order to maintain and spread the noble and ancient craft of blacksmithing to young people Greetings from Toledo Spain 🇺🇸🇪🇸🇺🇸🇪🇸

That was great John, glad you enjoyed yourself , you handled the breakdowns really well and continued to keep folks entertained with the Q and A sessions you were able to have. Thanks so much for sharing with us. Fred.

Glad you enjoyed it

Great presentation, nice that you show your human and have difficulties like us normal folk

[@SnSPlundershop]

Appreciate your hard work on each project personally i enjoy the long low edit video.

[@HeinoHagge]

Another great video John, watching your videos for about two years now and these have been most of my inspiration to start blacksmithing. Now I spend most of my free time in the shop making something, try to stay safe…. At the end burning also the most of my money…. 😂

There is a method to direct the burner, of course you light it with a little gas at first, then direct the nozzle to some iron surface that will absorb the fire and so that it receives feedback of constant fire so that the flame does not go out from a sudden extreme increase in the gas or oxygen from the adjustment, then when you have the iron surface you can direct the oxygen and gas without losing the flame

Thanks John. Nice presentation, well done! Glad to see I am not alone with shop difficulties! I think the issue with using the induction forge with pieces straped together is from them not being one effective piece electrically like they are mechanical. The induced Eddie currents in the pieces are creating their own magnetic fields which cancel out each other and the primary induced field.

hint, when using a die and you want to cut another thread or two after you use the die the right way the best you can turn it over and re run it. you can get 1 or 2 more threads on the tenon. . i hope this helps

That's a nice looking Nimba anvil.

Surprised that the pressures need be so high for the torch being as we use low pressure and just air for the forge and get hot enough to forge weld.

Good morning, John.

Good morning

Ok, after watching you for years, I'm finally taking the jump into forging. I'm building a 3 burner forge. Our new homestead is getting propane in the next month and my propane service asked what kind of pressure my forge will need. Can you help?

[@BlackBearForge]

The highest pressure I have ever run on a gas forge is 21 psi, my current ribbon burner forge runs at 10 psi or lower. I have the regulator on the tank set at 25psi and use a regulator in the shop to set the forge pressure.

Irrelevant to this video, but i take it your Facebook page was hacked in the last few weeks?

[@BlackBearForge]

Yes, the Facebook page was hacked. I have no access to it at all. It may be recovered, but the longer it takes, the less I think that will happen.
