Stainless steel Spoon

[@AlecSteele]

Gary, the wheel is a sort of scotch brite wheel... Like a de-burring wheel! The things work great! I need to get me some! :D haha

[@TheRonald6524]

I could watch Garry all day long!! Trouble is,I do. He does beautiful work!!! Plus I love his accent. I always learn something!!! Just getting into blacksmithing. And I try the simpler projects.Think I’ll give this one a go. I’ll do three or four to get the Hang of it. And the fifth one will turn out pretty good. I’m still working so not much time to play. When I retire I’ll have the time. Great video 👍

[@garyhuston]

Never, might try one day. Need a use for it though, got bored of knives already!

[@Lakesideforge]

I made my first spoon today! Then I come out from the shop and watch you make one and I see all the stuff I did wrong.

[@miketownsend6108]

Thanks you are a smart man!!! I enjoy learning so many things from you .

[@WoodoakWilderness]

I really enjoyed seeing this vid. Thank you for showing it. You have some great tools to play with.

[@garyhuston]

If you want to make them for everyday use or taking hiking etc I would try and use stainless steel. It polishes to a high gloss, is easy to clean and obviously wont rust! I wouldn't think about mild steel unless it is just for show and you can lacquer it or wax it to protect it.

[@garyhuston]

That should be fairly easy to achieve along exactly the same lines as the spoon, just flatten the end out squarer and push out that thick end I talked about so it's longer and narrower then just either hot cut or hacksaw down to make the tines!

[@MrJsowa]

very good video,il have to try it this way i always use 1/4in rod and upset the end to give more material but this seems more efficient and looks much better,thanks for posting really awesome that you take the time to share with others

[@garyhuston]

I started off with 60 then moved up to 120 then the roloc 3m disc's which go really fine..

[@h2o270]

Great video full of information! Glad I found your channel.

[@garyhuston]

Sorry I didn't make this sooner!

[@garyhuston]

You could even use sunbrite doubles at a push and break them up. I buy mine in 20 kilo bags and they are marked up as forge breeze by smiths. some merchants call them smithy nuts.

[@jessiegarcia8465]

Hey Gary nice work on the spoon, I also been shoeing horses for all most 40 years,and learned blacksmithing for my grandfather as kid, I'm 59 now and have a rare brain cancer, so I enjoy watching your videos , would like to see you make a something damascus like a small to medium knife, well keep on with your nice work, and hello from Texas .

[@Robotooo]

Thanks a ton, really enjoyed the video and look forward to trying it out. Would love to see your approach to making a complementary fork!

[@garyhuston]

I didn't bother with a fork as it is the same process as the spoon but cut three slots in the blade.

[@onebadboy2]

Sounds perfect. Thank you again.

[@erikfohlin6017]

awsome spoon man, really liked it.Thats looks amazing.

[@walleyefishinrod3115]

Nice job on the spoon... Love the videos... As a very new hobby blacksmith, I want to thank you for the help...Learning alot... I may have missed it, but could you do a vid on forging a scrolling fork. Thanks again... Take care...Rod

[@jimdavis8391]

I reckon just polishing a third of the way up the handle would be sufficient, then you'd get a nice contrast between the polished and forged surfaces.

[@MrJsowa]

i assure you damascus is a lot of fun!,you start off with a pack of pre-determined bits of steel and end up with the most beautiful slab of steel you've ever worked.i highly recommend flux because it lessenens material lose.sorry im american dont know the proper way to say lost in the present tense.beautiful material to work with just a medium carbon steel but beautiful once you etch it.(i etch with hot vinegar(white vinegar to those who are wondering) at a low temperature for those wondering

[@TheRealMuddydisco]

Loving watching your Video's Gary :) love the fact you got Ricky Gervais to do the voice overs as well. I have just finished building my forge, I have got several different types of coal to try out as I can't get coke here easily.

[@geedubb2005]

Thanks Gary

[@garyhuston]

Go for it man! Hammer away!

[@shortfusedleathernk]

Nice once again!!

[@garyhuston]

Go rustic man, enjoy!!

[@jarrick81]

What grit are you using on with your flat disk and on your small grinder? Actually. I think the better question is what grit would you suggest to use?

[@Lakesideforge]

Sometimes the learning experience is better!

[@garyhuston]

Lol! Thanks... How come you can't get coke in Derbyshire? Would have thought it would be quite common. What are you asking for? sunbrite singles are good.

[@garyhuston]

Show us all how!

[@onebadboy2]

That makes perfect sense to me. Thank you. Is there any particular metal I should avoid when making utensils? Like I said, very new. Much respect sir. Love your work and smooth explanations. - Shawn.

[@svenvanderveen659]

It is not going to hold mutch soup or stew but I get the idea now ;) Thanx a lot for sharing!

[@onebadboy2]

Thank you for doing that video. New at blacksmithing and would love to give this a go. Now how about a fork? :).

[@garyhuston]

Still waiting for the video!

[@davidrimer3388]

Love the spoon, could you show how to make a fork?

[@MegaManatu]

How about a fork/ perhaps also a knife? I would love to see how to make a forged fork. Also you could try to make it the same shape as the spoon, so you have a set :)

[@embaradosmithingandwoodcraft]

those jig parts i was thinking you said about shot time to work spoon try heating jig parts in forge to 200 f this will open longer working time on the spoon bowl

[@kbbacon]

Nice little spoon! I'm itchin to hammer!

[@SPQRLegionVIII]

Awesome! I have been wondering how to make a spoon for a while. We have a gas forge and have made a few things. We have a few videos on our channel if anyone is interested. Thanks Gary!!

[@alexanderbazes9625]

Thanks so much for this and your other videos! I'm curious to know -- is almost any stainless steel safe for a spoon, etc. that people will be putting in there mouths?

[@dave4785]

Those conical ends on your grinder look handy. Where does one find them? I change wheels so often and it takes so long that I just bought four bench grinders. Your system seems faster.

[@garyhuston]

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111833733546 but they only take soft wheels..

[@garyhuston]

Yes! I have proper work to do!

[@shorty7943]

Cool :D

[@TheRealMuddydisco]

I've been searching for coke but not found anything close, Now I have a name it may help :) so will look again. I'm very south derbyshire on the four counties border, leicestershire, satffs and warks. All the coal merchants don't want to get it in as minimum orderr is 28 tonnes to them

[@AMBOSS_Silesia]

Another great video sir :) But I would rather use that non-polished spoon. It looks more rustic and medieval and that's why it would be better for me ;) Best regards and thank you for this vid, Greg

[@TheChipmunk2008]

Is that a weld repair on your anvil there, just beyond the hardie hole?

[@garyhuston]

Yes, I cut through it with my plasma cutter!

[@LolitasGarden]

garyhuston I've been looking at that for years thinking, "how on Earth would that have broken?"

[@mrbluenun]

Hi Gary, Many thanks for the upload of a very interesting video. take care and I have subbed. mrbluneun

[@miketownsend6108]

could you make a smal hand rock pick from a railroad spike?

[@garyhuston]

I don't know what one of those is but couldn't make one as we don't have railroad spikes in this country.

[@muhummadnadeem2686]

i think you made the this spoon very had way.you can do easy. i am also make the spoon.

[@jdmeesey]

You should do a whole dining set (for one person)! You've got a spoon, next a fork, then a knife, a plate, maybe a bowl, a cup (goblet/chalice maybe). That would be a great gift for the wife too!

[@garyhuston]

Well?

[@kipsinc.-ottawaks9242]

strap wedge joint

[@alanhill4334]

Makes you wonder how people got on in medieval times. No grinders etc.

[@radionicsoftware5026]

It's a deburring wheel

[@garyhuston]

I thought you were being a bit ambitious as a learner. lol! You will have to give me your e-mail address as youtube wont allow links to be placed here although I didn't book mark it just googled belt sanders.

[@ChingFong58]

what you are calling soap is actually buffing compound or rouge .

[@macjustcallme5725]

if the handle was shorter would of been nicer

[@gsmith128251]

time for soup

[@rickfrazier5284]

lol are you always short on time.

[@svenvanderveen659]

It is not going to hold mutch soup or stew but I get the idea now ;) Thanx a lot for sharing!
