    gosh dang you can tell there is so much skill here haha. i don't think i'll ever come close to this level of greatness, but learning to smith has always been a lifelong desire of mine.
    I got a book, likely written by a man just like this, that is helping guide my way through learning the first stages of smithing. oddly enough it teaches a lot about wagon wheels, but many of the techniques used in the book can be used to make more than just wagon wheel parts as long as you have the vision to see it.
    This man ought to write a book about smithing himself for us hobbyists so that maybe even the tiniest fraction of his skills could rub off on us through the pages.

    • @thomasarussellsr
      @thomasarussellsr Před rokem +1

      You really don't need a whole room or a garage. Lots of blacksmiths around the world do it out in the open, in the ground fire, on a solid metal object. They don't even have a true "anvil" as we have come to recognise them. But yeah, any way to force air into a fire to make it hotter and a solid steel post/block (for an anvil) and hammer is all you really need to get started. Wood, coal, coke (Not cola), propane, can all burn hot enough to heat iron/steel to forging temps with added air. You don't really need all the fancy stuff, that just makes it easier. Start cheap and see if it is something you will be serious about getting into, before making the investment in forges, anvil, tongs, extra hammers, higher level machinery, etc...

      @@joe1071 we're talking about the same thing. In order to achieve this "flow state" you have to be a master at your craft. You have to be so familiar with what you're doing that you don't even think about what you're doing and instead it's almost like your muscle memory takes over and your body just does what it knows how to do without thinking, or you could say it "flows" out of you. Your mind just tunes everything else out and the only thing that exists in that moment is you and the task. People who can achieve this are often told they make whatever they are doing look easy.
