Not a comment about smithing, but about adblockers and skippers. I like this channel a lot, and I subscribed. I hope that if you feel the same way you let the ads play so that modest revenue stream still works for the maker. Sorry to be off-topic but it only seems fair!

Thanks for Sharing

Glen @ GS Tongs makes the tube type guillotine tools. Looks like a handy little rig. I think two of the best blacksmithing purchases I've made besides an anvil and a fire pot, have been a well made "double C" style guillotine tool and a commercially made bending jig. Very handy!  As a side note, if I'm home for the night (night shift at the hospital), my partner and I will watch your videos together. Now when I go out to the shop, she'll say, "Remember....wear your safety glasses!"
