That trade breaks my heart it's gonna be history if we let it just like all the other skills our ancestors gave us to carry on I could name hundreds of them
@@thedudeamongmengs2051 yep. Being a guy in my 20s, I already know two guys my age that do blacksmithing. One is a pure hobbyist, and the other does it for historical reenactment and business purposes.
I'm 29 with 2 kids and plan on learning how to forge knives and swords and then teaching both my son and daughter (if they're interested enough to learn 🤞)
I made an all steel axe and it’s brutal you do not actually want that I promise. Wood handles flex and bend to absorb vibration. Steel handles distribute all the energy straight into your hand. They’re durable but god damn are they just too much to use long term without some serious nerve damage occurring.
I love how you lit the oxy fuel off the same piece you were going to heat with it.
Nice, beautiful work.
Built to last.

I promise blacksmithing is not going anywhere. It'll be around long after we are

I like.
It's cool. Just enjoy things before they get super busy.
Nice bit of work
I wish they could make an axe with a head fastened like that it would never break
