This is amazing i randomly searched it and here i am.... might be my hobby forging metals and making something out of it! thank you!

Nice video for an intro to forging! You were basically outside during the video so it's not a big deal but I have to say the part with the bolts made me think of an additional safety issue to mention: galvanized and other possible metals or coatings can cause hazardous fumes so beginners need to be cautious about what they chuck in their forges ;)

I love the sound of metal getting hammered. Such a manly sound.

As you cool it in water might it brake when struck? Or do you get the same flexability as if u did it in oil?

My Grandfather was born in 1874 we was boiler maker on the railroad, he latter left the railroad and started his on iron works. I have chisels that he made, and when I was a young child I watched him make another chisel for me. I still have that one too!
Question when heating the lag bolt like you did was it a galvanized bolt? What does heating a galvanized bolt do any health issues to consider like welding galvanized metal?😁🛫

Just visited manitoulin island and stumbled upon your articles of homesteading and your neighbor ivan bailey, did you ever get a book published? I would love to buy one. I assume you have heard of wingfield written by dan needles if not check him out. Anyways let me know if you ever got it published

How many hours at that temperature does a tank of propane last?

Would you use propane or coal for beginners

[versatileduplicity]

I may learn how to do this after I learn how to weld great.

There was a movie scene I didn't understand in Dragonslayer. Where Galen says to the Blacksmith, "Blacksmith have you ever Forged a Weapon" and then the next scene is them pulling the The Dragonslayer Spear out of a waterfall. Rust ?

[bowme]

But how would you melt the steel and mold it into a shape without damaging what your using to heat it up to melting point with ?

[carriesuegeorge]

Perfect to clean cut that doesn't cause cancer to plants or crops for the blades cutting crops, pruning shears for tree's and golf course trimmers.
