I could watch any other youtuber do this, but something about your videos are better. This has inspired me to want to try the basket twist on a railroad spike knife handle.

Interesting twist on an old subject. Fantastic!

Interesting, to the point, a little humor and no wasted time.
You earned my sub easily.

"I'm low on propane? well I'll just strong arm it then!" that is some true dedication my friend. I thought some of those heats seemed a little undercooked, so to speak, when you were twisting. Amazing work as always and I loved those twists. Seems incredible to believe they are all single pieces. Dragon Scale was easily my favourite, looked very fantasy hilt type design, with the Dice as a close second. Looking forward to more content from you, hopefully, soon :)

definetly going to be using some of these in the future for unique projects

This was an amazing video! I think videos like this are great ways to get ideas

[HighWealder]

Great to see using modern tech, (grinder) on them.

Pineapple twist this a lot better when you spin it opposite a quarter round at the end. Nice work

[whuop-wadeshumbleopinion]

Appreciate your video. I will have to try these out soon.

Fantastic content as always!! I always loved the dragon twist. I have an idea to make a dragon tail door knocker using it. Keep it up buddy.

When I first got into blacksmithing 30 yes ago, it was hard to find a master and there was no youtube. I made my cuts in hot stock with a chisel and more than once tried to twist and underheated piece. I feel your pain, lol.

I recently started doing new twists and figured I would learn on thick pieces of scrap. I get trying to strong arm it because I had… not the right tools. I’m forging a twisting wrench now. Going to make my son, a gamer, a small knife with the dice twist as a handle. I am thinking it will be more decorative than anything else. The pineapple twist makes a very comfortable grip though!

Nicely done
Defenetly a very good reference to be added to any arsenal of HTLS (How to let see) 😉

Chiseling those lines is a pain in the ass. I've thought about using the angle grinder but wasn't sure how it would turn out. Seems to have worked just fine for you. Very nice work.

[BLP-BrianLucasProject]

Very nice work and demonstration! I subbed, thanks.

[HypnosisDr]

The joke in the intro was silly, predictable and childish.... I love it!

e: Very good video, very good music and a subscription I also left directly

Ya that basket twist is killing me. Have a hard time keeping them even. I was going to put a marble in the middle. After 4 trys and 2 bars jacked up I finally got 1 hahaha. Still working on it maybe 2 out of ten

[goodlookingjay]

Ive made a 3 foot fire poker with the dragon twist on the bottom and dice at the top and everythin else twisted between
