As always AWESOME AF!

[@hardluk3]

I wonder if you could up set the bar before you start to flatten it. It would give you a thicker end and might give you more material to work with in the end. Just a thought. What you made works.

[@adamh843]

howdy, CK. thanks for thinking about the spoon. the flat steel sounds promising. i know you're gonna dial that in first. if it works out, i'm hoping you'll make a spoon at one end and fork on the other. i think flat steel would allow you to still make a hook too...at the fork end...if you split the steel as if you were gonna make a 3 pronged fork, the middle "prong" can be bent over for the hook. of course, if the hook is for lifting pot lids, etc. maybe make the actual fork prongs a little shorter than your devilish, frontier forks. just some thoughts from a random dude on the internet with no experience whatsoever!

[@NaomiH.]

You sound like you are feeling better! Thanks for the great content!

[@savageater57]

I enjoy watching you do that . My grandfather and his brother owned a blacksmiths shop back in the late 1890's early 1900's untill automobiles became prevalent. Later selling bicycles untill WW1

[@judyluthy9724]

Another great video highlighting a valuable trade we will be needing soon

[@RichardYates-z3b]

I could watch a craftsman at work for hours and not get bored. Great job.

[@andrewworkman7125]

I really enjoy these frontier builds, I hope in time you make more of those mini Revenants for sale as well. Keep crushing it CPL! Thanks for the video.

[@user-xb1tw4lu2y]

Outstanding af again

[@lordofpain3476]

Every single one of your videos are educational for those willing to learn.

[@recall5811]

yet most miss

[@sgtjrr9771]

Sound & look much better! I knew that bacon would have you back on track quickly! Great work!

[@phyllisclark3896]

You are always surprising us with your great videos. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

[@Homeless2013nov]

Great videos. My husband and I are homeless and we love your videos

[@jamescatoe8821]

Glad to see you're feeling better. Love your videos

[@mickwatson2177]

I love your forge videos. I have always wanted one and you are pushing my desire even more. Cheers mate 👍🐕🤠🇦🇺

[@mikeriley4824]

Thanks for the midweek video and showing how to forge spoons.

[@christopherbeckerdite4273]

Awesome work CPL

[@Badg0r]

That spoon is awesome. I'd be proud to cary one on my trip to Norway to give the spoon an adventure.

[@davidmerritt5702]

Awesome. Upset the end of the bar in the beginning and it will give you more material for a wider spoon. Thanks for the video

[@seanflaim6991]

Made an Etsy account in anticipation of getting some of that awesome CC merch and gear. Very surprising how fair the prices are, compared to most creator merch I look at. Supporting great content and getting such value is WIN-WIN for all.

[@recall5811]

thanks, but some still complain that it should be free

[@williamdroom5789]

I really like the music. Nobody else is doing that.

[@joshuabomar6974]

I'd be pleased to use that utensil. Nice work.. I'm definitely looking forward to the knife build.

[@BarKingWuffSpider]

Love these videos. I was wondering when you were going to get around to making a spoon. OUTSTANDING! CHANCE FAVORS THE PREPARED MIND.

[@Bobbieyounce]

Great video, as always ! Love the design!

[@Sjackson2369]

Spoons and knives and forks and pans. Gonna be a whole frontier kitchen soon. Next thing you know we will be watching you with auto body hammers making your own cold handle skillet from sheet metal. You’re an inspiration Corporal. Absolutely killing it.

[@margaretbagur3553]

What a skill to know. It's wonderful when you see people carrying this knowledge forward. When I was a kid we had a forge in town, long since gone. We need more of this. I'll be ordering soon over time.

[@paulduckworth1121]

Another excellent mid-week video. Many thanks for this.

[@Wolfram762]

I love your frontier forging corporal!!! I really like how you made the whole spoon handle into a long twist, absolutely beautiful!!! I can't wait to see how you come up with doing the spoon in the future!!!!!

[@ButteryBiscuits-hk4px]

I got a small forge at the homestead. I usually make tent stakes and prison shanks.

[@thomasvosburg6926]

"Outstanding " looks good, beats eating with your hands, I like it !!!

[@SuziPoozi]

Cool project! Glad to see you're feeling better!

[@koh9894]

This music is insanely suspenseful. 👍🏿👍🏾👍🏽

[@colinblake24]

I'm glad you explained the process, cost, packaging, mailing, and time to make the spoon.

[@paulwojtylak4154]

Now add a knife and we’ll have a full set. I’d rock with that.

[@antiatrevino1130]

That's really cool! Thanks for showing us one of your labors of love.

[@davidritacurl797]

Who would think a simple spoon would end up being the most complicated of the items thus far. Thanks for sharing.

[@jmad56]

Can't wait to see the spoon in use in this week's overnighter

[@bennyjbronson]

Another great video

[@christophhoppe2947]

Hell of a lot of work to shape this spoon!

[@robtathome]

I love your forge videos Shawn!

[@taurota1554]

Outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

[@backyardrayray2919]

In the words of Gunnery Sgt. Hartman. "Outstanding!".

[@jasonvassallo6677]

Awesome! I was expecting you to make the spoon soon! Looks real nice! Keep up the great work. You rock corporal!

[@davidkanengieter]

That's really cool. I have a friend who's become an accomplished blacksmith, and it's always mesmerizing watching something go from bar stock to a useful item.

[@josephwallace1938]

Great video ,thanks for this knowledge. Catch ya Sunday

[@sgtbuckwheat]

I did something similar with a piece of quarter inch stock a few years back, it was a lot of fun making useful things in the forge. A friend of mine made a musk rat spear head about the same time.

[@beerdrinker6452]

Always Outstanding AF. Thank you.

[@kamerangreen2838]

Dude, love your content. I am a professional blacksmith, and I just want to give you a quick pointer: cut your material a half inch longer, then upset the spoon end. That will give you enough material to make your spoon end. Keep on doing your thing. Love following your story.

[@teddahrable]

Hey, Shawn! Great vid. It's good to see you building an inventory. I understand the desire to use 5/16" material. How about if you cut your blank an inch longer and then upset the spoon bowl-end to gain more material for shaping the bowl?

[@davidmadisontheguardian]

Really appreciate these kinds of videos. I watched one where you made a frying pan from one you already had, just a different material. I feel the world, and America in general, has lost the art of making things, especially those that last. Bringing back these kinds of crafts to a new generation and the generations to come - we really need that. So, thank you for taking the considerable time to not only make this stuff, but to film and edit it so that we can sit back and watch how it's done. Your videos are geared to those who really want to make things happen; and the speed at which you film the process supports greatly in the learning process. I just hope people watching realize that it takes much longer than is shown. Most things do; but we've gotten this warped sense of how long things really take. Great stuff as always, DM

[@sirkai007]

If you're wanting more material for the spoon, I'd heat the end of the bar and upset it. After that it will have more steel to make the spoon bowl.

[@markbeutel9797]

I used to know a black Smith in Missouri that used a counter top size English wheel to shape his spoons. Just an idea. What you made is amazing.❤

[@ScottCarlson-cz7wj]

Thxs for the vid. Your first series of hammer blows goes with the intro to the song, Mississippi Queen. I filled in the guitar, ect. -ha

[@ArtStanton-xu4yt]

Brother, don't fret the haters. That spoon is sweet. Keep the excellent content coming. Corporal AF is bad ass, keep the cool stuff coming.

[@Micky-74-v6f]

I just bought up on a bunch of your midweek specials, loving your metalwork videos! Especially the casting ones.

[@jamesbrown9736]

Ain’t nuthin in life is free brother and ain’t worth having if it is. You did a great job.

[@carterhamilton1502]

Use the flat bar for both the fork and spoon. Thats what I use to make them for my son and his friends for Viking outings. Thanks for all you do and please keep it up. Thanks Carter

[@russellwatters5891]

The forged spoon looks like a winner! Awesome AF job.. I'll have to nab a few when you offer them. 😊

[@jeffthompson2218]

Sounds like you're feeling better man. Great content as always!

[@benjaminpratt7249]

Just a tip if you use some borax power and fold the spoon end and forge weld it you'll have enough material to forge your full spoon that your after

[@madamecampsalot6384]

Awesome spoon! Thanks for all you put into it.

[@shadowlord5574]

Excellent as always 👌

[@TheBirdmaster45]

Fold the spoon part in half by adding the spoon length so you can increase the width size .. Just a thought

[@waltergladden15]

Try folding and welding the bowl end to give you enough metal to use the stage form. That might be quicker and easier.

[@loyd5074]

Nice work

[@rogueshadow5280]

I love seeing the forging videos! I don't have a lot of practical experience forging at the moment but one thing that might help get a result closer to what you are looking for is to start with a bar a bit longer than you want and upset the scoop end of the spoon to thicken it up so that it can be pounded out wider

[@flv0958]

Always learn something new from CC!

[@capntexas]

Try upsetting the end first so that you have a fatter piece for a wider and thicker spoon

[@dustingreen6210]

Excellent build

[@johneriksen5504]

I’ll be interested in the final design. Looks like a good spoon for tea or coffee

[@russhansen3646]

I was wondering when spoons would be out. I'll take a spoon and fork. Knifes next?? Make a set!!

[@antoineanderson2415]

Outstanding brother I'll be looking forward to it.

[@mickusmickus3108]

Watching these forge vids on the 4th floor makes me wanna buy a forge and make horseshoes and such on the balcony...

[@janicehoward9090]

I love it the spoon turned out awesome I would love to have some like this to match the forks still looking for a whole set of camping /cooking utensils awesome AF keep the awesome products coming love ya Corporal you are THE MAN

[@donaldwilliams3915]

Good job really enjoyed that video Glad to see you're cold went away keep up the good work

[@jasonsummit1885]

If you make another one, try upsetting the end before flattening to make a wider spoon head.

[@raybo34]

I really like the spoon. A great compliment to the forks. Understand that it's not cost effective.

[@jacobwagnercanamx3crazy941]

Super awesome!! Thank you for your hard work and R&D processing...so cool...

[@Marlina66]

WOW!! That was an awesome process. Thanks for sharing!

[@fatmanfaffing4116]

Cast them out of old steel cans. Make a mould with five of them per pour and then clean up on the buffer. Cheap, quick and easier. They'll look like those and weigh a bit less but still shovel food in your gob or stir coffee. I started my Regular Army career as a 16 year old Fitting and Turning Apprentice and we did blacksmithing so I know the time, effort and skill you put into that spoon.

[@MCrogers-n2q]

👍 Thanks again Corporal for your time and hard work.

[@donnafarran5326]

Love, love, love the video, Corporal! You always have amazing content, and always inspire! 🏕🪵🤗

[@phatphisherman5070]

Definitely agree, way too time consuming to mass produce like that and still keep it cost effective for everyone including you! Still super cool though! If you found a way to do it though, I would definitely buy multiples!

[@hdbinnc8583]

Great work! Excellent patience. Thank you.

[@thomasburrows6604]

Nice Process

[@daveneumann7727]

I like it!

[@michaelgorman1080]

Awesome job! love what you do, keep it up I enjoy watching.

[@1985lsf]

She's a beaut, Clark! Loved the music added in

[@jeffersonthomason-ry5di]

If you use flat stock . You can fold a bit of the end back on to it's self and pound it flat ...you can use a swage for a spoon shape and use in combination a stamp that fits the spoon concavity and with one or two strikes you can get a spoon shape fast ....if you fold a bit of the end you can increase your material to shape a wider spoon.

[@Glenfilthie1]

Those skills are coming along, Shawn! ☺👍

[@earlshaner4441]

Good afternoon from Syracuse NY brother

[@JohnTBlock]

Nice forging, Shawn. Looks good.

[@mordus671]

You should try a trailer hitch ball to shape the bowl of the spoon.

[@BBQDad463]

Thank you for this video. Good work!

[@kvonzwild8979]

Appreciate your desire to make sure its right before dropping it in the store.

[@stonerock56]

Nice spoon. You are 100% correct in that most people would not make these. Can’t wait to see what you do come up with. The cost of making these is expensive. I work some with steel.

[@Samuel-k5n6k]

I was wondering about these...

[@jameskelly1680]

Wow, there is a ton of hand work that goes into one of those. Nicely done. As always, excellent montage music.

[@rushyahr7423]

A frontier spork and spoon set would be cool too

[@robertderby9376]

Nice job on the spoon brother!!

[@stevemick6569]

Just a suggestion Devil Dog…. Maybe make the handles longer for those campers that use the pre-mixed trail meals. Semper Fi

[@jonathanbennison9220]

Just, an idea. Thanks for the video Corporal.

[@jimcooksey812]

Thanks for the mid-week video! Hope your week has gone well! See you Sunday!
