Good basic instruction Trent, easy as if you follow the tips you gave!

[@thechief6486]

[@purgatoryironworks]

Ill jiggle a bit for you next time, no extra charge

[@richardhazell2601]

Thanks for the lesson. Tried it today an went well thanks to your help.

[@wesleywernimont8690]

Great Video! Thanks

[@philipprigmore8723]

Really enjoyed this. I remember oh so well (especially since I can still get distracted and do it all over again) drawing out the metal and what I thought was going to be my next hammer was just a nub of steel left and the rest was in the bottom of the forge. LOL. We learn from our mistakes. Have a great day.

[@oljames1687]

..Good Job Trenton !! You can demonstrate and explain a process in under 10-15 minutes. It takes some others a hour or more and they still can't simplify it the way you do. Good Job Sir...!!!

[@purgatoryironworks]

Thank you sir!

[@tysonmitchell4283]

Just what I needed to see!!! been wanting to try a poker like this for some time now. thank you very much sir!!

[@tannerstiles8372]

What type of metal do you use in making these and do you have a particular source to suggest in getting some

[@drason69]

Great job of demonstrating how to isolate a heat! I have tried explaining it to folks, and with my non existent videography ability, you did a perfect job at about 6:30 in. Thanks Trenton !

[@xxxxxponchin]

Hi! I just saw you in Forged in Fire... you was awesome! 👍👍👍

[@purgatoryironworks]

Thank you!

[@BaconIover69]

That's great! I now know how to make a fire poker, I also know how to make a harpoon!

[@CaptainPhantom93]

What type of steel did you use for this?

[@Jeffsmetalworks]

how long of stock did you start with

[@purgatoryironworks]

It can vary usually 30 "

[@msblades5382]

Hey Got a question off topic. How deep is your fire pot? Is it home made ? What are the dimentions? I guess that was more than one question but hey. IMO if you didn't do a video on fire pots it may make a good video. Great info on your videos by the way. Thanks in advance, Martin at M&S Blades and Blacksmithing

[@purgatoryironworks]

Fire pot is 2" deep

[@msblades5382]

I thought that a good dimension pot was deeper so your fire had the chance to burn up all the oxygen before it got to your piece.. I want to build a pot was going to use RR track plates dimentions 8x10x5or6in. deep. IYO is this to much? The plate is .5in thick The ones they use to hold the track in place..Again thanks, Martin

[@purgatoryironworks]

Thats really really deep. They had pots that size but they are for bonfire forges.

[@msblades5382]

eell do you think you could do a video on fire pots? Let me try and find the video on fire pot construction and I will post it for you.

[@msblades5382]

Dudes name is Chase Saxton you can see the video on this subject.This is were I got the info and also from Dennis of DF on youtube . But you know what they say abut youtube ideas. There like Ars holes every ones got one. lolThanks Ty I appreciate the help I don't mind using the coal I have 10 or 12 yards of the good stuff.

[@yogibru1]

Just curious....when you sell a finished poker, is the small hook on the handle end removed? If not, it seems like it would be an accident waiting to happen!

[@purgatoryironworks]

No, thats how you hang it up.

[@jactur4208]

WHAT SIZE BAR STOCK DID YOU USE OR RECOMEND?

[@purgatoryironworks]

3/8 square

[@jactur4208]
