Good morning Jim. I usually don’t have much to say about your videos because I’ve never done timber frame, welding or blacksmithing. I really enjoy your videos and appreciate your knowledge and expertise. Keep teaching and putting out the videos. 👍👍👍

Coming along nicely Jim. Nice and cozy place to work now.

Looking good Mr. Jim always a pleasure

Dear Jim, That's some heavy iron you got there. It's looking surprisingly good. Cannot wait to see Jim swinging that hammer & mould some steel into shape. Very well done. Kind regards.

Pretty cool

JIM!!!!!! Nice anvil you got there. Shop is looking good. Good to see ya brother. Enjoy your day. Stay warm. 👍

That’s got a nice ring Jim and it sounds pretty much the same all across the face. I think you are very nearly there. Looks like you will be up and running very soon now and a great anvil to work off of. All the best Graham 🇬🇧🇬🇧⚒

Almost done and looking good great job to hang in there on a boring step. 💚💜👍🏻

Hi Prof looks good !!!!!!!

Morning Jim. Great camera angle during the welding, really got to see how well the exhaust vent/blower pulls the smoke away from you and out of your work area. Surface is visibly better and the edge is WAY better than before your repairs. Good job. But why didn't we get to see any 7 inch grinder action? Also, don't forget to change grinding directions with the belt sander so you can see the areas ground the other direction with each belt change. That way you can see that you're getting good coverage with each grit level because the scratch pattern of the previous grit shows if you don't get full coverage with the new grit. Also a good way to help get flatter surfacing. See you on the next one.

I don't think the anvil will loose its hardness via the method you're using to repair. It is a good time to end anvil hammer blows.

Looks good

Light at the end of the tunnel.

Morning Jim... so your new barn roof saw some snow yesterday? Anvil looks good, almost there.

At this point you are more than hesitating to start using it, no wonder!!! it is comming along.

You can always plan on learning something coming by your page my good friend its a pleasure god bless you👍😎🤜🤛

FYI....it looked like the sparks when welding were traveling over the metal back shield and may be landing on the timber frame....might want to review the video real close to confirm or deny.

How is progress on the surface grinder coming?

I see what you did with that door! That hunk of steel is coming along nicely too! ..... Plenty of elbow grease involved!

I might a little bit late I was just wondering what welding rod are you using sorry if I missed it somewhere

coffee with Jim this morning.

That exhaust fan sucks😂 anvils getting there and I love the power lead slot in your door🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

I’m thinking you should have a protective screen set up to protect anyone close by, trust me I know all about welding flash from twenty eight years in a welding shop environment.

Saw the edited pig ...🤣

I think your cheating... The old timers said you could always tell if a blacksmith was any goo by if the anvil was to hot to touch at the end of the day. But in this case, I don't think torching the anvil with a propane torch was what they had in mind.
