I love the commentary you've added. It makes it a lot more engaging I find. Loving the videos, keep it up! 😄
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback 😄
Beautiful craftsmanship! I don't see why everyday objects can't be beautiful too... it takes your mind off of your dull drudgery of doing your chores, and gives you grateful feelings for the work and talent of other people :)
Beautiful handle. Love your videos.
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! 😊
Thank you for sharing and allowing us to watch you work, I am fascinated and mesmerised and exhausted in equal measure and i haven’t swung a single hammer ❤
Been a forger for 40 years, full time for 30 years. Everything you said is spot on and wonderful advice. Very good video.

Outstanding ,way past cool looking ,at the picture trying to figure out braiding the handle cool trick the master showed you.looks like you made a crochet chain.
Great work
That shovel is absolutely gorgeous,
I made a similar poker on a blacksmithing course love the video
comment for the algarythm. love the shovel!
Very nice! I even think it could be used as a defend weapon. 😀
Hi James, love it, good work, see you at Banagher inJuly. I will pop to see you in Bunratty, Guy Urbin
Cheers Guy! We'll see you there! 🔥
Very nice
that handle came out looking so intricate 😮
Beautiful craftsmanship, and artistry!❤❤❤
Great work. Awesome seeing in person today.
Loving this. It's so chill
so hot so cool so hot so cool so cool ooh ooh ooh ooh
thats some awesome double twisting and welding techniques, I like the split bar attachment to the shovel, it looks really cool.
Clear, excellent commentary, very nicely done.
Thank you!
10:10 saw one of those in a tradional blacksmithing museum once
Another outstanding project! But, that is what I have come to expect on your channel. I've watched your forge welding techniques closely...you are obviously a master of that art. Something puzzles me...other contributors devote much time, effort, and undoubtedly money to buying and modifying, or forging and finishing what they think to be the ultimate choice in a forging hammer. Great attention is paid to design, fit, and finish. I see you working your welds with what appears to be an unmodified ball peen hammer around 2 lbs Imperial - 1 kilo in weight. I probably have some in my mechanic's tools which are very close to the same. Any comment from you on your hammer choice(s)...or should we be expecting a future video on that subject? Thanks
Nicely done mate. These twists are super satisfying to forge. I need to practice forging my scarfs as they never end up even which makes the welds uneven and hard to line up.
That wooden Irishman sent me over
Ah, the woodsmith! 😄 good to have you!
God bless
7:43 the most impressive part about this is that its actually not sped up, everything else in the video is just slowed down
Nicely observed 🔥
James what is the hardest thing that you have made
I have watched a few of your videos so far and I really like your work
It would be nice to hear what you found kind of hard
You are so cool 😎
Great to have some commentary! just one thing, you might want to look into leveling out the audio, the step-up from the start to the forging is a bit much.👍
Thank you!! 😄
Describe blacksmithing in three words: Heat, beat, and repeat. 😂
That's exactly it! 😆
Cool video. I'm sure it's only gonna get better. Just a little advice, get a better mic.
I will, I broke that one already! 😅
OK using a torch that's just cheating stick back into the forge and twist it. Just kidding of course great job on the shovel and commentary it helps a lot.
The handle twist heat done was in the forge 😆 thank you! 😄
