Thank you for sharing this video. I was so impressed with the simple tongs this smith is working with that I decided to make a pair and share the process on my YouTube channel. I will make sure to link to this video as well.

Cool video. Also sent her by Black Bear. As a South African I can appreciate the skill and ingenuity displayed by the craftsman working with minimal tools. Well done!

I love this video. I also really like that smithy and his incredible skill at the anvil. What I am most impressed with are his tongs. I noticed that his tongs has 2 flat heavy rings holding the tong halves together instead of a rivet and a bbs. It offers unique and very diverse application possibilities for the tongs as he obviously demonstrated. I thought it was really amazing that he was able to hammer and pound out a very nice looking adze blade in a short period of time. However, I would not have used the steel he chose. An old european style heavy duty truck leaf spring. It's made with 2 different pieces of steel welded together down the middle.

The smithy in this video is amazing. All those tools at his disposal, all the different tongs he could have used. Instead he chose the most basic one and showed us how much more versatile and useful his style of tongs really are. I'm going to make me a pair one day, as close to the same as his as possible, with a double flat ring to see how well the tongs perform. It will be a very fun experiment.

Impressive! Greetings from a fellow blacksmith in Denmark. Well done!

Bei der Werkstatt und den Dingen im Hintergrund, ist er vieles, aber definitiv schonmal nicht Arm dran.
Respekt für die Schmiedeleistung.

Another from Black Bear Forge. Those tongs are really something - simple and effective. I'm sure they need more skill to wield than the standard, but that's just extra fun.

I happened on the video by John, from Black Bear Forge and his link to your video. While primarily, it was out of interest in the tongs you use, your video was very engaging and entertaining.

Guten Tag, Andeas, Félicitations sur votre technique la-bas en Afrique, avec les outils disponible chez vous.
Merci pour ce production de vos expertises. Danke. A really gritty and down to earth video of local blacksmithing in Birkina Faso. I'm surprised he can keep time to the music while pounding away!
En passent I doubt the foot wear at 4:00 is safety approved by OSHA, ni ici au Québec, par le CSST! ;-)
Encore svp, montrez vos autres projets.

Another Black Bear viewer.
Great work indeed. Could learn a lot from spending time watching you in your workshop.
Love the indigenous music (any chance you could post who that was?), at one stage I thought I was listening to Zappa with that wild violin in the background. Thank You.

Another guy form John Switzer's channel Black Bear Forge here. Great video indeed!

[geneplummer]

[randomschittz]

How did you time the hammer blows with the music? That was beautiful.

[joshuarowe]

Black bear forge also brought me here. This is great inspiration. : )
