- I mostly make hand-forged products for a living which is really enjoyable but can get a bit repetitive, so I've decided to start experimenting with a few one-off projects just for fun.
I've started off with making a small spoon, let me know in the comments what you think and any ideas of what else I can try!

Fascinating process, and such an individual outcome. Loved it
Thanks very much. Glad you enjoyed it.
Nice job sir.
Many thanks!
wow seeing him handle his tool!! im left wanting more
Thanks cuz!
Very nice Video and interesting idea.
Tomorrow I might try this myself. With wich diameter of stock did you start?
Thank you! I used 12mm round which seemed to work great for a teaspoon. Might want to use bigger stock for a tablespoon.
Thanks for the info
@@janekroing842 no problem!
I love this. How do you take care of these spoons. Won't they rust?
Thanks! This one would, as it's made of mild steel, so it's more of a demonstration piece. You can use exactly the same technique with stainless steel instead and you'd be good to go.
@@TomFellBlacksmith thanks! I guess it could be a good camping piece.
Are there more easily forgeable stainless steels out there? I've been wanting to take on a project like this but I don't have a power hammer and have heard rumors of stainless steel being hard to move by hand.
@@loganwright3423 it's definitely harder to forge than mild, but I'd say you'd manage with the processes I do in the video without a power hammer. It would just, maybe, take a few more heats.
@@felltom thank you! I'll give it a shot then.
@@loganwright3423 I have a little experience forging stainless steel, I found that you need to keep it hot as possible while forging. Once it goes cherry red get it back in the forge
