- Rather than having to straighten out a chunk of chain every time I wanna do something with wrought iron, I thought I just do the whole thing in one go and forge it out into stock so it's ready for use.
Thanks for watching!

A old spare house on my property burnt flat today and when I was going through the rubble found a real big wrought iorn fire poker and about 14 feet worth of wrought iorn chain almost the same seen in this video was a blessing out of pretty stressful day going out again in the morning to check for any more super happy to find a good stock of it as its hard to come across for a young fella in my area
I see you got your self a power hammer nice!! Here soon I'm going to build a DaVinci cam power hammer for my back yard forge
Not mine. I'm renting a workshop :)
@@nicolasf7453 Indeed! I wanna start production and with a shop like there is no reason not to. The wrought Iron will be the body for the knife blade with a 1095 or W1 bit inserted into it for the cutting edge. If you wanna see how I'm gonna construct it, watch my San Mai knife video I did not long ago. Thank you very much mate :)
Ill try to upload some videos this up coming summer to cold to build it this winter
That was very interesting, and the video was so well done. Reminds at this season of Jacob Marley saying, "I wear the links I forged in life." He would have liked you! 😊
Hahahaa, thank you very much :D.
You got a powerhammer now? Wow. Congrats!
Renting a workshop that has 2 :) Thank you!
Great video and that's pretty cool that you have all that material to work with now. I just wanted to say also I literally just bought that identical angle grinder last week lol
Thank you very much :) yes it is. I'm really looking forward to doing some stuff with it! Ryobi ain't the best, but they get the job done in a pinch!
Dude so good
Liking the new shop dude
Thank you! I'm renting it :)
Nice work!
Thank you!
Nice shop
Blacksmithing is a basic survival skill that will be very important if the world ends up in a major crisis.
I vote for a viking crosspeen with forgewelded faces, jus saying... haha
It's on my todo list. I was drooling over the one Old hickory forge made.
Shop tour?
You should make a small anvil out of it
Would be an interesting project! Good recommendation :)
Looks like the new shop is well equipped! I take it you are getting along well with the owner?
Indeed it is! Yes, very much so :) Thank you for sticking around mate, appreciate it!
Awesome dude!
Do you know where can I found wrought Iron in Brasil?
Thank you! No clue, sorry.
Acho que é muito difícil de encontrar aqui
O mais comum em coisas antigas é ferro fundido, mas se for para achar em algum local vai ser em ferro velho
Acho dificil alguém conhecer o que é, então vice vai ter que procurar por conta própria
@@yurifoerster1130 foi realmente isso que percebi.. sou de Londrina, Paraná , e por mais que a cidade seja grande e tenha vários ferros-velho para se procurar, o que se encontra sempre é justo isso: pessoas querendo vender aço doce ou um simples pedaço de aço batido como " ferro forjado" .. é realmente comolicado
Did you ship all your tools from Denmark?
You cannot imagine how jealous I am of all that wrought
Haha Check with anvils online on instagram if he still has any in stock. that's where I got mine.
@@MakeNCreate on it cheers for the tip my man
👍👌❤👍👌❤👍👌❤
Is there a particular reason why you didn't just melt it all down and pour it into stock sized bars? Or do you just not have the equipment for that?
You can't really ''just melt it all down'' It's iron, the melting temperature for it is 1500 degrees Celsius. The equipment and tools would cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars. It would also completely defeat the purpose as to why I bought the wrought iron in the first place. Wrought Iron has a very unique grainy structure to it which can produce a very beautiful pattern when etched. Melting it would not only get rid of that, but also turn the iron into cast iron which would be extremely difficult to forge and work with.
The way you see steel or iron cast into swords or shapes in movies, where it's just heated in a pot over a small fire and then poured like it was melted chocolate isn't how things work in real life. Thank you!
How long did it take to forge all that out?
Three days, could have done it in 2 but I would have fatigued myself to much and risked injury hahaa.
Nice work!
Are u swedish?
Grettings from Ukraine🙃
he is danish
What is the reason for the chain around the anvil?
Sound dampening
🇪🇨👍🏻
Viking sword
You know
Đb
It'll come one day :)
👌
They forged muzzle loader barrels from this stuff.
Sorry, but I'm going to copy your arm tattoo. I think it would come in handy
haha no problem mate. I didn't design it.
New shop?
Yup. Moved to Canada. Renting part of a shop.
Shop tour?
Not my shop so would be a bit weird but maybe at one point. Only been renting for a month and a half.
Shop tour?
Maybe at some point in the future. I've only been renting it for a month and a half so.
