Interesting side note: actually smithing your own blacksmithing tools has traditionally been one of the tests that a blacksmith apprentice would make in the course of their apprenticeship, and when they were done it was a sign of their competence.
-
So little tip from a bladesmith. To get better bends you can use the horn of your anvil. Other than that I’m impressed with how this project went.
-
I genuinely respect how when you fail at making something, you turn it into something awesome and functional. I have seen a lot of improvising on this channel, and am consistently impressed with your ability to recover something everyone thought was gone forever. Also, I have a suggestion. You should do bronze casting. Make a dagger or something.
-
"like most people on tinder do..." That killed me! I'm heading to a blacksmith event today, so this was a great video to get me ready! Time to get me a bucket of hell, and get back into metal!
-
Making your own smithing tools would be an awesome series dude! MORE OF APOLLOS SAUSAGE!
-
Even experienced metalworkers have failures from time to time. Your project is awesome and your skills will continue to improve. This is from an experienced metalwork teacher and experienced tradesman. Love your videos.
-
Incidentally, wild marshmallow makes not only delicious confections of the same name, but a lovely and mellow tea.
-
Anytime you are using a hammer, an anvil and a forge, its a great day! Thanks for the video
-
Reminds me of the tool in Minecraft :D Forging is so cool! Fascinating how the shape began to form!! Maybe the snake is a baby Lindwurm, since it’s able to cast fire, you know ;)
-
You can find flint in massive quantities in the US at a location known as Flint Ridge Ohio.
-
This is the literal coolest thing I've seen today
-
Fun fact grom a rock nerd, we do have flint, jasper, chert and agate (all varieties of microcrystalline quartz) in the US. For example, Flint Ridge is a geological formation (and also place name) in Ohio that native Americans mined for tool making flint that was traded widely throughout the eastern and middle US. I am so excited to get to share something useful on Skill Share, where I learn... just about everything! Love you guys so much!!!
-
I'm sure you've already gotten this a lot, but that annealing stage you did is also called tempering. Basically unhardening it just a little to be non-brittle, and you can do it in an oven for a controlled environment! Just 400 degrees for an hour or two.
-
I recommend looking at videos on how to strike the "flint" stone for more sparks more consistently.
-
As per usual amazing work. Definitely would work well as a first metal project
-
May the Gods of Fire and Forge bestow many blessings upon you lol awesome job bro! 😁🤟
-
Just found this channel recently and as someone who always is looking on how to make all kind of stuff from zero and also someone who loves the crafting jobs on RPG's I wanna thank you so much for your content!
-
a good first set of tongs that you finish yourself are available at Ken's custom iron, tongs are one of those things that are easier to make if you already have them
-
Be careful on your hunt of the Wild Marshmallow. While it does have a better flavor when cooked to perfection over open flame, they are far fiercer if cornered and don’t appreciate El having their dens encroached upon. God Speed, mighty Clev3r! ~~you’re going to need it~~
-
You and your video's are so inspiring! Thank you and hello form the Netherlands
