- Here are two items people love that you can forge in your own shop! Let me show you how to make more "bread and butter" products for the blacksmith shop.
Get the butcher block brush for taking off forge scale (and other tools I use):

Thumbs up because both of us DID like it.
“Both of you really enjoyed it”. Cracked me up a bit lmao. I know I’m easy to please.
Haha, thanks
Found a hoof hook on the side of the road awhile back, thought it was a gate latch until I just seen this video 😂
Love it! I've been smithing now maybe 5 months, give or take. I'm at the stage where, let's say, I have too too many blades around ... Ha. Like 30 various swords, knives, axes, exotics and such. I gotta grow out of it a bit. And like most other smiths out there, I Wana become independent from the day job one day.
Keep the projects coming. I'm gonna try and replicate as much as I see and yeah, level up some more. 🍻⚔️🍻
Keep at it, thanks for watching!
Great couple of projects! The point you made about the uniqueness of the forged hanger was very insightful, and I'll make sure to keep that in mind when I'm making things to sell.
Thanks for the video. Another way to straighten out hangers like your lantern hanger is to get it hot and use the vise to straighten it. I find that faster and more reliable than my eye and the anvil.
Ah yes, the old "both of you" line. Great video by the way.
Thanks! I don't even charge extra for the superb jokes...
where do you sell these locally besides craft fairs? Which local shops do you sell these to?
I saw the thumbnail in my feed and recognised you from the Forged in Fire which I saw recently. Congratulations. 👍🏻
Thanks!
What episode I'll watch it?
This is great, very relaxing watching the metal move. Good job man!
Thanks man!
nice work
Thanks for showing us and trying to help upcoming garage blacksmiths .do you know the thing that really jerks my chain is when people don't give you the you tuber a like .youve over 6,000 views they've been entertained and can't be arsed giving a like 😡😡😡 I've subbed m8 teach us more . Ant from Wales UK keep up the good work .
Thanks! I appreciate it!
I have no idea how those work pieces hold heat so long. Mine go dark 30 seconds out of the forge I could get so much work done if they held heat like that.
I've heard many blacksmiths on youtube say that cameras pickup the light from hot metal differently. So things typically look hotter than they really are and stay that red for longer as well.
There are a lot of factors that can cause metal to lose heat.
Things likhow much of the metal is touching the anvil and transferring the heat into it as a result, how cold the anvil is when you started forging, the air temp (to a lesser degree) how far away the anvil is from the forge itself, how long it takes you to start actually working the metal once you remove it from the fire/stop the airflow to the fire, how windy it is or how bright it is (of you're going by the colour of the metal. The light will make it seem like the metal cools faster than it does.) And even the type of material the anvil is made of.
Also how hot the metal is in the first place when you decide to take it out of the fire
Also also, if you even properly heated it
What do you use to coat your pieces?
I like to warm the piece and wipe on beeswax.
Can i forge with normal bricks ????
How would you suggest a complete beginner start selling their projects?
Here's a couple ways: find a local farmers market or something similar that has spots for artists, open an Etsy account to sell your products.
@@FireCreekForge I have had difficulty with online shops in the past. How did you get traffic when you were just starting? Thanks for the speedy reply :)

Slowly , slowly, gently , gently, you start with a few simple items and just add few every few weeks, don’t expect to be a millionaire in your first year. Also don’t start with high priced items like Damascus knives, just stick to small, easy nails and hooks , home wear stuff, campfire cooking, things that are affordable until you gain customers. Word will spread if you provide quality and things flow from there!
I checked the link for the butcher block brush and gear and the page doesn't seem to work, there's only blank space under each category
Thanks for letting me know, I'll check in it!
it came up when I checked it, not sure
@@FireCreekForge I tried now from my phone and it worked.
May be a pc thing, or maybe a regional thing, I'm connecting through Spain.
Wonder why he didn't hot cut that would have been so much simpler and quicker
Ah shit I just watched that video
Thanks for watching!
I watched your videos about forging two items that "sell well." At the end you had a couple of wavy, hooky bars, but I never learned what there things were. Is it a secret? What do they do?
Hold up didn't you win forged in fire
Yep! S6E8
@@FireCreekForge I just saw that episode a few days ago, my name is also Elijah
Cool!
chisel is a lot of effort instead of a 1 mm slitting disk ...
