Gday I love watching your videos when i get the time to watch them that is. I have even gone and built a box o dirt forge and love getting out there with the children and letting them go for gold on a hot piece of mild steel and seeing there faces is priceless to me. So a big thank you and we are looking forward to see what you bring out next.
Good to see your face. Been lucky regarding burn and injuries. Although I haven't had my forge running for quite a while. Cheers and Happy belated New Year
I've considered making a 'vent' video. I feel you brother. Its fun to share the sexy parts of our labors, but when we're in the middle of the crappy parts, you kinda wish your peeps could see that too. Just like hammering away at hot metal, forging a YT page takes a lot of blood, sweat and tears. So keep at it mate.
There is no such thing as a stupid question, however, there is the question with the obvious answer ( is that a fire?). That is what I like to call the Bill Engvall question.
I just started my forging journey, absolutely loving it. Made some janky tongs, a decent round punch, and am completely addicted haha. Congratulations on 500.
No drama in smithing ey? I’ll give you drama.... Nah not really. Great video mate and congrats on reaching another sub milestone. Great GAW can always use more tongs. Cheers.
Damn it, Sam beat me by an hour, you touched on a few negatives but not the biggest positive, the great rush you get at the end at a successful project! Sams reaction at the end of his nutcracker last week is why we do it, its exhilarating! Busting your arse and a great result is a drug! Good video Adam, my brain also gives me grief about costs that seem to have no return but its short term pain for long term gain! At least thats what I keep trying to convince myself!
Congrats on 500 Mate 👏👏👏👏 Thanks Adam I've been looking for reasons to quit this sport.😜🤣🤣🤣 that's why I let anybody that is thinking about getting into it to come over and swing a hammer and usually they never come back. Lol Too much work. Not everyone can have one arm 😎 🔨On!!
Ah separating the wheat from the chaff i see, forging in a museum i get my fair share of "smart" questions like (children): "is that fire real"? or (adult) "ís this viking cooking"?
I have been watching you since you started, great show very entertaining, I know your building your house but it will be great when you finish so you can do more shows
Cheers mate. There is Definately more coming this year. Thanks for being with me on this journey! And i cant wait for the build to be finished too ha ha mainly so i can start looking at building the new workshop!
Yup! That's Right kids, ain't no such thing as a stupid question... However, there are plenty of stupid answers! So take each with a spoon full of flux.
I've barely begun with this hobby and when people find out, so far I reckon 3 out of 5 will ask "Oh...do you watch that show Forged in Fire?" It's definitely getting annoying🤦♂️🤷♂️
Great video once again sir every one of those reasons is very true. I would add one more for those in the north, it can get very cold, even with the forge going temperatures here easily do into the negatives so there can be months of not getting into the forge or finding a way to deal with it. Great job again keep up the good work.
I was only surprised by 7, the rest I would call ... common sense 🤣 and perhaps a point 8. People should take part in a session before they start buying stuff to be instructed correctly in a more or less safe environment and can already ask few questions. Its better than sinking hundreds of dollars in tools and equipment just to realise after 3 hours you don't enjoy it at all and it sounded cooler than it actually is. 😋😊
Gday

Great stuff Adam! Forge on brother!! ⚒️♥️🍺😀
Cheers mate
Adam, if only I had known these things 50 years ago... I.. well I still would have started. It just calls some of us.
All great reasons to not start blacksmithing. Great video, thanks for sharing! 👍⚒
Thought id do something a little different ha ha cheers joe
@@SpeargrassForge nothing wrong with doing something different. Lol. I need to get ahold of you on FB. I'd like to do a sticker swap with you.
@@SoggyBottomForgeJoe you already have mate. Its on my wall. And forwarded some on to sam and alex. There are some on their way to you
@@SpeargrassForge well shoot, how did I forget that. Lol. Well I'm glad they made it to you. Lol. Cheers mate. 👍⚒
There is no such thing as a stupid question, however, there is the question with the obvious answer ( is that a fire?). That is what I like to call the Bill Engvall question.
I feel that ya missed a big one... if you expect to jump into this as a get rich quick scheme...
Goes with the learning curve...
2 ways to become a rich blacksmith. Start with a large fortune and start with a small fortune lol. Cheers mate
@@SpeargrassForge There's a third way! Work harder and be smarter! Cheers Adam. ;)
I just started my forging journey, absolutely loving it. Made some janky tongs, a decent round punch, and am completely addicted haha. Congratulations on 500.
Awesome Nick. Welcome! Hammer on mate cheers
But it's so much fun tho😁
🤣🤣🤣 that it is 🏴☠️
And also very very addictive
Too right! Cheers mate
No drama in smithing ey? I’ll give you drama....
Nah not really. Great video mate and congrats on reaching another sub milestone. Great GAW can always use more tongs. Cheers.
Cheers paul. Glad you enjoyed it mate!
Very valid reasons but if your a crazy bastard like me nothing will stop me lol congrats on 500 Adam!
This is true alex cheers
I am a knife maker in Phoenix Arizona. The hottest place in North America. And yes, the forge even makes this desert hotter.
Damn it, Sam beat me by an hour, you touched on a few negatives but not the biggest positive, the great rush you get at the end at a successful project! Sams reaction at the end of his nutcracker last week is why we do it, its exhilarating!

Exactly paul. But i couldnt mention all the positives it was "reasons NOT to start blacksmithing" remember... lol.
I could sure use another set of TONGS, Adam! Hint, Hint. Lol
Ha ha youre in the draw lol
Congrats on 500 Mate 👏👏👏👏 Thanks Adam I've been looking for reasons to quit this sport.😜🤣🤣🤣 that's why I let anybody that is thinking about getting into it to come over and swing a hammer and usually they never come back. Lol Too much work. Not everyone can have one arm 😎 🔨On!!
Ha ha cheers ben
I Liked the Hit Button! ;)
Do i have a hit on me now? Lol
@@SpeargrassForge Yep! :D ;)
Ah separating the wheat from the chaff i see, forging in a museum i get my fair share of "smart" questions like (children): "is that fire real"? or (adult) "ís this viking cooking"?
Ha ha ha kids are inquisitive. Its adults that are irksom
Hey Adam, you are right in everything you said but all that is part of this wonderful work, thanks for sharing, have a great year! take care 👍
Thats true. And cheers Lufe!
I’d love a dollar for every time I’ve been asked if I make knives or horse shoes I’d be rich, or heard the comment so and so could do that at home.
Yep. Stupid questions lol
You nailed the list Adam. BTW do you watch Forged in Fire? LOL
Sometimes. When i can find it
I have been watching you since you started, great show very entertaining, I know your building your house but it will be great when you finish so you can do more shows
Cheers mate. There is Definately more coming this year. Thanks for being with me on this journey! And i cant wait for the build to be finished too ha ha mainly so i can start looking at building the new workshop!

Thats it mate

It's definitely getting annoying🤦♂️🤷♂️
Oh yes. And i LIKE FiF. But thats not why i became a blacksmith lol
How DARE you!?
How dare i?!? Me?!? What did i do? Lol
@@SpeargrassForge 🤣🤣🤣 what DIDN'T you do!?
Oh also, first real comment
Ha ha prostibots abound
😝
One of these days Sam I'm gonna stay up all night for weeks just to try and beat you. Probably won't happen though. Good to see you back sir.

Thats true. But thats also no so common any more ha ha 🤣
