I was at the Black Country Museum just the other week at a 1950's Rock and Roll evening event. I highly recommend a visit to explore this living museum.
Hi Kevin, glad you enjoyed the Black Country Living Museum, its almost on my doorstep so I'm a frequent visitor, and by a stroke of luck I found out when the Forge Hammer would be working so I could take my camera. The pre Christmas evening events are a lovely atmosphere. Many thanks for your comment. Cheers W.
Brilliant well put together
Excellent viewing
I'd love to have a bash at this and the chain mekin, reminds me of when I used to work at Somers forge
Thank you for your comment it is much appreciated, I hear the Black Country Living Museum is re-opening soon ar for one coor wait, its a bostin plarce.
Im probably one of the youngest most experienced stampers in the country and would love to do a demonstration for free. Given the opportunity
Im 31 with 12yrs experience
Hi there, many thanks for your comment, please be aware that I'm only the guy that made the video, I know very little about forging or stamping other than this exhibit at the Black Living Museum makes a very interesting subject to film.
Why put the sound effects over every single blow the hammer made? I would have liked to hear what it actually sounded like.
Thank you for your comment, its always nice to know what viewers think of my videos.
In answer to your question, my camera's onboard microphone did not handle the sound of the strike well at all, and I'm not prepared to post a video with distorted sound content.
Camera probably wouldn't pick it up tbf
greetings to all steampunk fans

Why does he call it a homer? Ita a forge hammer
Hi Nigel, he calls it a forge omma because he's speaking in his native Black Country dialect, in this area many words are pronounced differently, its all part of a rich heritage which many of us are proud to retain. If you would like to know more this website gives a good explanation dialectandheritage.org.uk. You may not be aware that the word you, is pronounced yo in the Black Country, so you have viewed my video on YoTube, and one of the devices used is an Opple.
Many thanks for your excellent comment.
