Who else has learned so much from him?
He is amazing 💪🔥🔥
Pretty much everything I know! Sadly I am stuck in China and cant get back to my forge to use all these great ideas!
Like the second taper on the drift pin. Didnt know that!
Wishing him for President
Me John is an amazing gifted craftsman with the added ability to share his skills on video
I don’t say it enough, nor stop by the watch enough but thank you for all the effort you put into these videos. Always appreciated.
The way you roll the hinge eye at the anvil and get it so close to size is amazing John. Have tried this method a couple of times and it was not as easy as you make it look . So maybe I need to practise a lot more . Cheers . :)
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!!!
I am a 60 year old disabled lady, and I love watching you create things on your anvil the way folks made things that were made right.
You are a very good teacher, you have an ability to explain what and why you are doing so that your student can understand what you are trying to convey. I have an idea that you have done forging for a long time, and possibly were a shop teacher at one point.
At any rate, you teach with the qualities of an experienced patient father. I love to watch your creations unfold themselves in your hands.
I feel like I could create useful items as easily as you make them appear.
I'm so glad I stumbled across your channel, it's given me many hours of peaceful pleasure, and I enjoy the prelude music that you play as you exhibit your completed creation. I also enjoy your banjo playing, you should do more of it.
THANKS AGAIN , and KEEP"EM COMM"IN!!!!!!!

Excellent tutorial, John. Lyle Peterson usually posts before you do on Sunday mornings. Hope he is O.K. 🐾🔥⚒
Always a pleasure to see a great teacher at any craft and over 2 years ago you inspired me into becoming a "Hobby Blacksmith" as I don't feel my brain doesn't think enough to be a blacksmith but often fall back on my fab and welding skills and Sir you have shown respect for others willing to learn so you have my respect
We having family health and I've haven't gotten in my beloved forge this year but should be able this week.
Thanks for showing and teaching Sir
Truly miss your website but so happy to had it when I did thank you Sir
That jig that rolls the hinges was part of the movie:
Schindler’s list.
The guy that operated the press almost got shot in the head but the Nazi’s gun wouldn’t fire.
I was amazed at that process in the movie. Now you just showed the whole process. Many thanks!
I thought this was one of the million views videos, and was surprised when I saw it wasn't
As always, a brilliant video! Almost everything you need to start making your first hinge 🙂 I know you also have loads more video's on each type of hinge in great detail, so condensing the key points into 25 minutes is pretty impressive 👍👍👍👍
Hey, thanks again John!
Wish I had reviewed this yesterday - Before folding my strap 180d and scrolling the folded end back... although I got it looking sorta ok, Ill be starting again.
John: Don't mess up the pin
Me: Swings hammer once, messes up the pin
Awesome work
Thanks John! Good stuff as always 👍
Yep I've learned a few things from this guy for sure !
Great video John, this definitely takes alot of the mystery out of making hinges, thanks!
Great video. Just what I needed thanks John
This was great! Thank you for sharing. I learned something from this 👍
Great Demo John, Enjoyed. Thanks.
Great video in all aspects. Thx John...
Very clearly explained tutorial. Also, thanks for including metric sizes.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for sharing and God’s blessings for you. Thanks
Thanks for the upload
Thanks for the instruction, John, Very clean forgings. looks like the perfect hammer for this.
Beautiful video!
Thank's a lot
A wonderful demonstration.
Makes me want to run light the forge...
Thanks for sharing!
Very nice video and very well said and teached John. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work John. Can't wait to see more videos John. Forge on. Keep teaching. Keep making. God bless .
I actually just finished up a order for a recreation of some 18th century door hardware for a springhouse. The set i did had forge welded eyes and it was definitely a fun project
excellent information!
Thanks John
Great work and videos thank you
Great video.
I personally think hammer marks on a hand forged item are a good thing. They show that the item was crafted by hand not by machine.
Good stuff John.
Like always good
valuable information Thanks
I've learned a lot just from this one vid...thank you Sir.
Glad to help
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya 🙌🙏
Amazing
Perfect angles on the camerawork. Useful hinge jigs - great video. ✌
Glad you enjoyed it
I like the "grumpy cat" pull on your display.
Thank you Sir, I am going to go out and give it a try!……well maybe when it cools down a bit 😉
Great tutorial video on hinge eyes👍👍🔥🔥
Glad you liked it
Would love to see how you make the other "bottom tool" (?) you mentioned you needed. (Even if you use your power tools!)
Hi, one of the lessons I learnt from my cabinet maker grandfather was the holding of a hammer. He asked me to drive a four inch nail into a piece of teak at a forty five degree angle. If course I failed. He then did it easily with six hits. The secret was to hold the thumb on top of the hammer handle with your grip at the back of the handle. This provides maximum precision and power. If your thumb is not right behind the direction of travel, you loose some of the potential power. Of course this does not work when the hammer strike is above your navel, only works on a workbench or lower. 😊
Careful, thats a good way to cause serious injuries, particular tendonitis in your elbow. Swing a heavy forging hammer for hours on end is a big difference compared to driving nails
Hi, I do not want to cause a firestorm of replies, my point is what you also made. I train wood workers any many of my students are female or have smaller frames, and I assist them by focusing on good techniques to achieve results rather than heavier hammers or raw power. You have been doing forging for a long time and hobbyists or newcomers will not be able to wield the hammer weights as easily as you. 😊
It looks like your "new" anvil is working out nicely. Love your videos as always!
Hello John
Thank you for you teachfull Video
Now i know how to Do a hinge Well and straight
Take care have a good week all the best wishes
Yours Frank Galetzka
You make it look easy John, l still struggle with the fire and preventing things from getting wonky. I started forging with anthracite coal and now using batumanius coal. I Canada it hard to get any coal. A 70 lb bag costs me 75 dollars Canadian, which would be about 55 dollars US.
Coal is getting harder to come by around here as well plus the quality keeps going down
You can high quality forging coal from Virginia from Home Hardware stores. Thak Ironworks in Ontario imports it, bags it and sends it out all over Canada to Home Hardware. That's where I get my coal.
Clicked faster than The light can you make a video about The possebilities of horse shoes 🔥👍
what is white powder?
👍
If you are looking for video ideas, I would love to see you make a humming bird. I was wanting to make one and there are not a lot of examples that I could find.
I'll add it to my list of ideas
Dear John, the silver pencil that you use - what brand @ product code are the pencil and the refills? It looks like a Staedtler mechanical pencil. I’m having trouble locating the refills in white. Thanks.
Its a Markal Silver Streak. Available from most welding suppliers
Great video on hinges John. Thanks very much. I have an unrelated question, however; I need your help. Where can I purchase the book "365 Hooks". This may not be the title, however; I remember you mentioning this book where the Smith made 1 hook for each day of the year. Just looking for help in trying to find and acquire this book. Thank you.
You might check Cloverdale Forges web site. Nut I'm not sure if he ever actually got the book published
@@BlackBearForge Thanks John. I contacted them. They are working on publishing the book. Much appreciated. Best Wishes. Charlie
John have you ever considered writing a blacksmith game book?
Yeah, my wife and I were watching the video we are both wondering how much that anvil weighs, do you have any idea?
460 pounds
hinge eye never lie
Diameter equals pi times radius squared.
Diameter is radius multiplied by 2.
Pi multiplied by the radius squared gives the area.
First one hear
