    In my latest workshop project video, I needed to make a latch for the chicken coop. I took this opportunity to practice some blacksmithing techniques that I have been watching on CZcams. I combined several different techniques and methods for this blacksmithing project. I am not considering this a pure blacksmith latch, I just needed a lock for the chicken coop, so I made one. Thank you to all the blacksmith that share their skill on CZcams!

    No wonder why blacksmiths were thought of as magicians in ancient times. Now we look at it and there's a science behind it, but it still seems magical. Love your videos they suck you in with the sounds of progress and work, what you make is practical art and it's truly an inspiration. Thank you.

You did it before youtube and before your show and I'm most interested in those time frames where you didn't have a show but were able to pay for life and accumulate tools. I'd love to see a "how to" on the economics of being a maker in the real world.

I did it professionally for 30 years (architectural) and would have been proud to have you working in my shop! I would only suggest that you decide where you want the anvil, fasten down the stand and fasten the anvil to the stand. If the anvil bounces or moves sideways you are losing energy and control. Have you watched on the height of the face of the anvil? I look forward to your vids!

    That latch is for when times get rough, and they're going to get rough.
