Video

Very nice! Thank you for the instruction.

🎉🎉❤

Nice video

Really liked this. I've worked with Australians on several occasions, they have a wonderful "can do" attitude. We once had that attitude in the USA, now we need to redevelop it. My first time here, I subscribed. Best regards😃

NOT 10 minutes. It's still a decent how-to.

Interesting tongs

Nice umpire polo bro I have a few myself lol

The most impressive part of this video is your knowledge of both the metric and imperial systems. I need to quit being a dumb American and learn the metric system already.

It's decent, but having done the traditional method as a newbie who could barely get his forge to temp, I don't think it's fast or easy enough for the quality loss There's also nothing wrong with quick methods, but the traditional way is good for the soul

Reinforcing bars? Why not railroad rails? 😁

Cool. I just got gifted a little stick welder, and was looking for a quick project to forge a chip hammer. Gonna have to give this a go.

Excellent chisel ❤

Why has everybody else have to make it seem so hard? Thanks.

This video was absolutely perfect. All I wanted was a simple right to the point down and dirty way to make tongs. Being new to blacksmithing this is such a helpful video Thank you!

Great clip.... I just made a brake drum forge . My first project was a horseshoe letter opener. Vise grips are ok...but I really need a set of tongs! I think I can replicate your set! Thanks for helping a beginner.

That was very helpful. I'm going to go and make a set of these. I'll give you a shout out in that video when it comes

Watching men work and not having to hear them speak is my jam... The ringing of the steel, and the glow of the metal is so relaxing, I've taken to watching a lot of forging shows and I love them all... Thank you very much sir...

meh

Yeah, that was different.

I have rebar that is approximately a quarter inch thick, would that work? and i use a gas forge.

Is this archival footage, or are you back Pete?

You literally just wasted 11 minutes talkin into a screen and didn't show the vice not a single time. You are a poor excuse for a blacksmith and human

This is cool! I started making one a few days ago. I put an obscenely long bevel angle on it so itll have a pretty much razor edge.

Three questions, just so I don't feel toooo incompetent: What size stock was that spring? How many total heats to finish? Who made yoiur anvil?

This is extremely informative. I just bought my first post vice with 4.3/4 jaws. Slimmer model with very nice alignment. My dad has a heavier model with good alignment and 5.1/4 jaws. I told him I'm gonna confiscate his and restore it for him. I'll have to fabricate the lower securement bracket for both vices but I like those challenges. Great video by the way. You earned my sub. Cheers from Wisconsin.

If is very cheap, of a good size, but totally trashed, even without a screw, I might still buy it. Not as a vice, but as a relatively cheap source of some decent sized good quality wrought iron .... that's going to upset one or two of you ;<)) ps to be fair, you do need to be able to tell the difference between mild steel and wrought.

What diameter stock do you for the tongs? Great video showing another method to do things.

sure you know by now, but your audio cut out.

good job bro

Lovely video. I haven't seen any tongs hinged like that before. The audio cuts out for me between the 6 and 8 minute marks - did I miss any commentary?

Enjoyed your video and loved the way you presented it. Will be fitting 12 doors using your jig methodology soon. Thank you.

Simple but brilliant thankyou. I am about to replace all the doors in my house, so I am making a set today. I’m so impressed with you tip I have subscribed to you channel.

Nice thumbnail I was searching stake anvils. Did not disappoint! Hahaha. Great video! Minimal fabricating tools to make a beautiful lil anvil from the trash to treasure in an hour. The only question is: did you cook that steak in your forge!!!

Going to try to make this cuz iam a woman who has to replace 5 doors that my ex boyfriend destroyed and yes every time I hang a door they never fit so Frustrating so now I have to learn to plane the doors I guess wish me luck yeah by myself so Frustrating se

Excellent video, very clear, all makes sense. Liked and subscribed. Thank you 😊

Would make a great bick for your hardy hole.

Good watch Pete. Great inspiration for us starters! Thanks from the UK

I believe you need two anvils to make a baby anvil he only has one

Hi there. I hope this comes across as constructive criticism, but you used an anvil to make this anvil, sir. I imagine a portion of your audience was interested in this as a "first anvil" type of affair, so, there's that. Great video, though, keep at it.

Nice vid pete nice to see you back at it im still using the hammer you gave me

Thank you for these instructions! Easy to follow and perfect for me(a amateur blacksmith with limited resources) lol

Thanks for the video, I always enjoy! 👍

Some cool footage there 👍

Well done. When I made mine, I drew out the reins before installing the rivet/hinge pin, just to have more leverage and distance from the heat.

A question from another backyard blacksmith. How long did each heat take to come up to forging temp again?

Very good video 👍

Metallurgy.... what about heat treatment??? Is it now just as soft and likely to bend aging like all mine?? Times?? Cooling. Use oil??? It needs to be hardened again. But not so hard it's brittle. So what is the full technique.?? Others want to know about the endless possibilities in blacksmithing. Please.

Well done!!!

You may not know this or maybe you do. Ill be subbing to your channel anyhoo. But one can put spring into a mild steel bar. I had a blacksmith from colonial Williamsburg share with me how to put spring into mild steel.

As a young woman watching this over my bf's shoulder...…10 minute tongs but it's a 16 min video.
