I count my blessings being able to work with such an amazing blacksmith thank you so much Roy and all the knowledge you are willing to give

Probably THE most frustrating blacksmithing process. I have found it reassuring watching outtakes from John's (Black Bear Forge) forge welding videos where they don't take and he has pieces flying everywhere. I have at times gotten so fed up and just mig welded the piece. That said every bit of information is greatly appreciated. Thank you for sharing, Roy.

Great explanation of some necessary fundamental skills that are often skipped over. Inspiring content, thanks.

[gussfoundry]

Probably the best welding video I’ve seen. Very well explained

[billwoehl]

Good job Thomas, my welds still don't stick yet and I've tried at least a half dozen times, you nailed it first try on camera 👍

Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year to you and all the subscribers.

Thanks for the no flux forge weld tutorial! This was great.

[wayneheitz]

The first successful forge weld is always memorable and fun. Thank you both for sharing. Merry Christmas to you all.

Many thanks on this very educational video Roy. As I've said in the recent past, I'm just now starting up with forging and blacksmithing and I haven't yet tried my first forge weld. Right now I've got a little propane powered forge that I use and I'm just hoping that I can get it up to a proper welding heat. It will sure cook the steel hot but I'm just not sure it will be hot enough. I'll sure give it a try though as I want to learn how to forge weld. I believe it will come in very handy in the future.

Thank you for showing this. I have not sought out a teacher and this shows me alot.

Awesome simple break down of the process, Thanks Roy

Hey Roy, this is incredibly timely. I actually just did my first forge weld yesterday, also without flux on a piece of 3/8 round bar folded back on itself. I managed to get it to weld, but I'm sure it was dumb luck as I didn't really know what I was doing. On a related note, I just realized in this video that I have the same coal forge you were using and I noticed that Thomas increased/decreased the air without cranking the blower in the video. Would you mind sharing what you did for air induction down underneath the forge? Merry Christmas Roy and thanks!

[tomcarlson]

Roy this is great info. Tomorrow I am going to go try this with two square bars. Thanks for this information

[OEF_Vet_]

This was extremely helpful to me, thank you. Exactly what I needed to see

[rustybow]

Great comment on camera fire brightness. I've had this issue myself and when the camera zooms back and forth, the steel billet can look either too hot or not hot enough. Merry Christmas! Good vid.

[NjalLaing]

Nice one you guys, like the tutorial😊
