Your skill in working iron is undeniable. I am most impressed by the organization and cleanliness of the shop. You're clearly someone who respects your tools and your craft. Well done, sir.

[@rigoniironworks]

Thanks!

[@pajcka]

Mr, your workshop is perfect. Clean like a pharmacy shop.

[@genecatcher1]

I am glad to find your channel. You are maby the most precise man in the blacksmithing.

[@secretstars1]

You are the king of power hammer tooling! I would love to see some content discussing your approach to dies and jigs, and maybe to see some of them being built and designed.

[@midknightforge7446]

Unreal. I just spent five hours forging a Christmas ornament for my mother…ended up tossing it…I have to remember to tell myself to get inspired by work like this instead of angry about the fact I’m not nearly as good lol. Amazing work. Thanks for the videos.

[@FarmsteadForge]

I might have to forge one, we butcher all of our own meat so this would be a fun and useful project. I always learn new power hammer tooling tips from you - thanks!

[@rigoniironworks]

Yes Sir! I still need to forge a small version. I've used these on pigs and deer, works great and classier than what's in the stores.

[@zebdeming]

Making it look easy John! I am always blown away by how precise your forging is, of course that bar ballanced in the middle when you were done forging it, love watching you work, someday I aspire to be half as good as you man!

[@rigoniironworks]

Ha, geez. Thanks man, alll in the tooling

[@snowman276]

The cleanest work around. I agree with another comment on raising up your power hammer, bring it up 8-10”’s, it’ll do your back wonders and save it for more creations!!! Excellent work

[@KUZBASSforever]

The highest aesthetics and culture at work!

[@tinmanx2222]

Excellent project and blacksmithing skills. Very well presented.

[@MorrowidAddic]

It's so nice seeing people take pride in their work, very nicely made peace!

[@cmleoj]

Cleanest workshop on KZbin!

[@babcockcopper]

Mind blowing. Your precision and tooling... another level. You have demystified and helped my smithing career so much! Thank you!

[@rigoniironworks]

well thanks! too kind.

[@powellmrp6335]

Such a treat seeing it balance perfectly. Twice.

[@threeriversforge1997]

Absolutely amazing. Your work at the power hammer is always so clean!

[@jackdelancey248]

The attention to detail is very enjoyable.

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Love your videos. Very beautiful job. Design turned out very well there. Can't wait to see more videos in this series. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge on. Keep making. God bless.

[@mitchelperkins6723]

Allot of work, but 100 times better than the cheap store bought China made junk . Nicely done Sir!

[@VMX42AUS]

Your precision never ceases to amaze me...👍👍👍

[@bengordon4151]

Fantastic work as usual! Your efforts make my original gambrel hook look like it was made by toddler...

[@outofthink3423]

I am very impressed to see your work and I would like to be proud to work and learn with a skilled master like you 👍🏽

[@Paddington60]

Did not see that riveted head coming at all! Well done!!

[@wolfparty4234]

Very clean and thought out!!! I can watch your channel all day, but I got so forging to do so I better get at it🤣🤣💪🏼🙏🏻❤️👍🏻

[@JN-eb9vf]

Crisp and clean work as usual, very nice. I avoid working steel down in the round, as you are doing in the die at the start of the ball ends. It can lead to cracks inside the bar.

[@NineWorldsWorkshop]

Fantastic! Once again I am endlessly fascinated by your tooling

[@mking3219]

Just in time for whitetail deer season! Great build!

[@_bodgie]

You produce some nice pieces, the quality and attention to detail really show.

[@davidlong3824]

Wonderful piece of blacksmithing nice looking job.

[@Vtmtnman42]

Interesting this popped up.I've been kicking around a design for a gambrel.It'll be slightly different than yours,but now I'll incorporate the swivel design which is a huge plus on these.Makes skinning and processing alot easier.

[@dontfartarnold]

Iooo

[@truecockney438]

Yet again another magnificent piece of work (even though i dont know what it is) i love watching this man work everything is clean even the workshop normally blacksmith shop are filthy

[@Sho81]

When you hunt or slaughter an animal those hooks are usually either tied to or stabbed into the hind legs between the bone and ligaments toward the hind hoofs and it is lifted off the ground usually at first to drain the blood and then remove the organs when gutting the animal. It is a better way to shift the organs so you don't accidentally pierce the stomach or intestines of the animal.

[@mariojennygonzalez3310]

Awesome job, and impressive tools quality, never see before that great performance without grinder of modern tools, 💯❌💯👌

[@mymechanics]

Awesome skills!! Could you explain what are you doing at 12:02 and 12:08? Is it a surface treatment?

[@rigoniironworks]

Yes, a blackened wax finish. It lasts for a good while with wax touchups.

Wow very nice job

[@Timothyh3nry]

Beautiful work as always Mate! i am curious whether you have a steel preference for the hammer heads you make and what rockwell you aim for?

[@rigoniironworks]

I like 4140. I tried 1045 but water quenching stresses me out haha. I don't have a rockwell tester, I just follow the heat treat charts for each type of steel.

[@popgrubbs]

How does someone not like this or any other video from RI? I'm serious, can I hear from those who thumb downed this so I understand this? Please reply to this so I can understand why you thumbs down this video.

[@josetonon5726]

Maravilhosas peças. Parabéns pelo trabalho. Muito bom.

[@pharaon6718]

Awesome

[@dwightcarlson7136]

Amazing work. I am just curious if you get a sore back. You seem to have to bend over to hold the piece in the power hammer. Could the hammer be raised higher off the floor so you wouldn't have to lean down so low?

[@rigoniironworks]

Yes, I have to stretch through the day. I guess it could, the base already raises it some. Sometimes I can pull up a chair for forging, but that's rare.

[@FaresAbdelSamie]

عمل رائع 👍

[@trinkladd]

How come the left hook is bent in a lil more. And right hook is straight up. .I know it’s not a mistake because both sides are done the same

[@uniqko]

No clue, this is the old way of making one.
