I had the same thought. He really nailed or hammered the Bob Ross feel in this episode. Don't mind my puns. A good teacher doesn't focus on mistakes but uses them to their advantage and that's what he did this episode.

The Faram fuller that you show in this video is called a convexed butcher tool in chasing. Basically anything that has a leading edge and one flat edge is a butcher tool. As where chiseles have two bevels and of course fullers everyone knows what those are :-)great video Alec good to see you getting back to some hand forging...

Alec I have just become aware of your video's and am very much impressed. I'm 73 and just starting to do some forging using the most basic of tools. At my age the joints get sore pretty easy at times so finding the easiest way to do something in the shortest amount of time is extremely desirable. I am very impressed with the 5 video's I have had the pleasure to watch. You spend a lot of time on technique which is sorely lacking in most other practitioners videos that for the most part merely display ideas. Technique is critical to being efficient, creating less waste, saving energy and muscles, not to mention allows you to make a better product and more $$. I don't sell anything but I fail to see why so many people fail to learn and apply the basics elements of working metal that you demonstrate so well. You reflect more wisdom in your metal working than most smiths twice your age. Having said that I'm curious how old you are? Keep up the great presentations! Sincerely, Ken Weldon.

@zacharywilliams2 6 жыл бұрын

This is cool! I dont know if I'll ever blacksmith, but I still love your videos! If I ever get into blacksmithing, I'll go back to these "beginner videos" (I say that with quotation marks because this is something I think every blacksmith should try)

Step 1 is finally finished. Well, mostly finished. There are still some things I need to do before I can officially drive again. But it’s close! And since it’s close, I can move on to getting my craft tools. Leather and metal. When I can get a heat source set up, I’m damn sure making these and the keychains. Awesome little projects. I’ll probably also attempt a sword because I’m stubborn.
