MAKING A BLACKSMITH SHOP WITH NO POWER TOOLS

I make an outdoor blacksmith shop - show the build from start to finish. I use recycle materials and hand tools, no power tools. Open the full video description for more information.

I was a fulltime blacksmith making mainly axes and I still have my indoor well equipped blacksmith shop (don't sell any thing any more). A shop where you stand up and work. So I wanted to do something different with the new shop - a hole in the ground and all the gear around the hole and most of the time do you sit down and work. That is not a new way to do it - it was and still is a common way to do it in a lot of areals in the world.

The new outdoor shop and the old indoor shop is next to each other. 10 meters apart and 10-20 meters from my home, Sami gamme.

--------------------------

A few quick questions:

1. Where did you get the air blower?
In my case is it one made in Denmark for the danish military. Bought it local from a private seller here in Denmark. Similar is common for blacksmithing - if you want one try to google "Hand crank forge air blower" or similar.

2. What if it rains?
No problem. It's under roof and on a high spot.

3. Why not make the grinding stone foot operated or something else more efficient?

As an experienced blacksmith myself (26 years) i absolutely love the simplicity here and its great to see someone that knows that the blacksmith makes his tools he doesn't have to buy them to have a working setup... We get so entrenched with thinking we need fancy equipment that we forget where ome from... I cannot love this vid enough... Btw excellent 90 on the grind wheel handle very nicely done

Man these survival games are looking more realistic by a second

I'm just fascinated by how slow and deliberate he is. Every move he makes is done with patience and intention. I dont know how he is off camera, but we're always in so much of a hurry these days that its inspiring to watch someone slow down and do things right the first time like that.

This man has a wealth of knowledge and it impresses me every time I watch one of his videos how effortlessly he creates things from scratch. His movements have such purpose.

Thanks for non music/talk/fx videos. Just your amazing skills.
Inspiration for beginners like me.
Thanks.

Came down here curious to see what the comments section would have to complain about but I found your community is full of nice, supportive people. I think I'll subscribe. This is a good place to be.

I clicked on this video and went YES. And then I said NO! Its only 10 minutes. I didn't want it to end, fantastic video.

That SOIL THOUGH 😍. I am so happy everyone else appreciates the soil as much as I do

[jimmygalliows]

I learn more from the simple silence of your videps rather than the millions of over explained videos of this kind.

[heavencanceller]

I don't know why this was recommended to me but I absolutely loved every second of it

[grnorthernpike]

Incredible ingenuity. This has become my "Best of the Web" channel.

[SSJSoujiro]

I've be casually searching for a video like this for over 30 years....
Thank you so very very

[spoon_bomb]

That's very impressive !
Go on with this silence. Good choice ; )

[Sam-zfwg]

You’ve inspired me long enough, I need to get off my bum, and do what you do

[aloberdorf]

The man simply did what he said he would do....and he did it very well. I am sure that in the future...people will be very surprised at what he turns out...and the quality and craftsmanship of his work.

Nice very nice you make everything look so much easier then I know it is . I'm probably 30 years your senior but the way you work and the tools you work with reminds me so much of my grandfather . God bless you son live long and live free

[michaelgibson]

First thought was that is some nice dark soil you have there.

[tiggytheimpaler]

Anyone else watching this because they live in an apartment and have to fight the homeless at the park to get any work done or is that just me?

[najeebullah]

keep up the craft, you are so good at it. The fun and pleasing part is the silence of wilderness and no background music.

[TastyAzWhole]

Man, the soil is damn beautiful! I've honestly never seen such good soil
