This is exactly the type of information that fits with EC! I love the idea of adding cookware to forging. Thanks.

I love how the fly press from 1905 has a LED light addition from 2020. I love seeing old tools meet new technology 🤙

I am certainly not a blacksmith, would never claim to be such a craftsman either. I have been aware of something that is a common necessity with all walks of careers and jobs. Hands. What an absolute blessing our hands are and will become. I see his old tools in his shop, hands made those. I see his cookware, hands constructed them. I often find myself in the kitchen after work making dinner with my wife. My hands have a shade of saw dust on them while hers are neatly done and clean. Her hands have cultivated our gardens and given hair cuts to our son and daughter. My daughters hands have created wonderful art work that she shares with family and friends. Our younger son’s hands have stirred up mischievous encounters that are expected of a four year old. For all that can be said about hands, I am, forever gracious. The roughness of their skin, the imperfections and the strength that I ask of them everyday is demanding. I hold my family with them, smash them with a hammer occasionally but they’re still there ready for whatever I need next. Seems weird to speak about hands in such a manner, but man, what a wonderful extension they are.

That was great. I'd like to see the frying pan building process as well if possible!

I love the copper mask on the vise. I will be making myself one of those for sure.

[vochaalloy]

Thank you for introducing us to a new (to the viewers) a local craftsman.

[johnsona]

Hopefully I get a chance to get one if those frying pans and cook a steak on it! Gonna need to set a reminder in March.

That fella seems like a good guy to have around. Love his work.

Steak looks pretty good too!
Though i like it pretty rare.

Learning to cook is as important as all the skills we learn, use and pass on in the workshop.
If you can't cook, you don't eat right.
We need decent fuel, same as any machine

Power hacksaws are great, if you break a tooth you can still use the blade, just offset the workpiece a bit and carry on, also the blades are a lot cheaper than bandsaw blades. They are slower than bandsaws and tend to wander across the floor if you operate them at high speeds. You can still find them used for reasonable prices.

I agree with others, I really wanted to see that pie press shape a frying pan body from flat stock. Great video and awesome old equipment!

[clementcharlebois]

Beautiful work, my wife loves your pans!

[michaeldunn]

What an interesting show this one was. One of the best

[charleywalker]

Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.

[imout]

I like his comments about doing things by eye. "If it looks right it is right" is a phrase a lot of furniture makers and wood carvers are familiar with.

Truly enjoyed this new episode Scott & Nate. A change of pace and some new content to keep making things interesting. Keep up the good work!

Love how you cut your steak with a Leatherman knife too. Love it!
Thank you
