Thank you Rich!!

There will be a lot more of these but need to make the tools before hand so everyone can make the projects i have planned. Thanks for watching!

You are very welcome Bryan!

Its the first one i have made, thought it would be a nice easy fun project, Great little things to make!

More than welcome, I enjoy sharing this craft to the world, everyone loves fire right? Cheers!

thank you Rusty!

Thanks Man! And no worries at all, weekly from now on

It will be awesome! Can't wait for more as always. :)

I wanted to show exactly that, doing the second set down on the nearside rather than the far side. This removes that fold over you see on most peoples leaves at the base of the leaf to the stem, also keeps the galling and cracking to a minimum. The 3rd step is the important one though, got to be so careful with it. I have tried so many ways to keep the temp in shot so changed a setting and it finally worked. Thanks for commenting Phil!

thanks Man!

Welcome!

I don't know how to add music yet haha i guess its a good thing...

There are an amazing number of videos which have terrible music

Agreed.... it's nice to hear only the sound of the metal against the anvil.

Thank you. were you using a rounding hammer?

Yes just a 1 3/4lb as anything bigger its hard to draw the lower parts of the leaf.

Nice Nath! what software you using and new camera?

Cheers mate! using premiere now, and same camera but the upload quality is a lot better than the windows movie maker which makes it look like a new camera, changed the settings as well which has helped enormously! Anyone reading this comment, go check out Joshua's Channel.... Guy is a genius!!

;D Thanks mate! i'm going to check out that software, i think i'm ready for the next level up from windows movie maker now..

You wont enjoy the others then ;) haha Cheers!

Not many do forge them this way, its the basic leaf shape, i will do plenty more others in the future though. Thank you!

Ryan Rivard just a wire cup brush, I use the stainless wire knotted type rather than the softer ones. But will also use mild steel ones also. It's just easier to buy stainless ones from the local hardware store to me. Hope this helps!

Well, I went ahead and got hold of a rounding hammer and the problem has gone away. It's also made my work go faster!

Thank you. It would be called a wire wheel. Or wire cup brush. Get good ones and really bad ones but thee most dangerous tool in the shop. Full PPE needed and a sturdy grip in a vice.

mark johnson depends on how much money people who are there would tend to have in the pocket, something like this, maybe £5-10 but I can make them fast but on internet £10-15 but I wouldn't sale many. Material cost is around £1 then time added on, so whatever your hourly rate divided by how many you can make AND finish in an hour would give you a rough idea. Say I can make 5 per hour, £60 pH wage, +. £5 ..... 65 / 5 is £13 each. Hope this helps a little.

Thank you!

I seen that too, that is the artist in you that seen that :) Cheers man!

Yeah that's cool I was just wondering. So how often do you have to re-oil when you oil it cold?

No oil, i use a beeswax that is supposed to be for wood furniture as it is not solid. For something like this, used and handled daily, just the once. if it was for interior, twice. if for exterior i would choose a different finish. Oil hot is the only way to oil otherwise it goes greasy. when oil is added hot it cooks into the steel to leave a dry finish. Hope this helps!

Sorry i meant wax not oil. I know about oiling and waxing hot. I sometimes mix boiled linseed oil with beeswax to treat metalwork (probly about the same thing as the furniture wax you use except maybe a different kind of oil) I was just curious why you were waxing cold and how long it would last without cooking it in. I might give it a try on some stuff. Thanks for yer time keep up the good work have a badass day

Cheers M8

Its on a wooden base within a metal frame, and wedged between the metal and the anvil is soft wood. Then a great big concrete base which seems to dampen it, then a chain and last but not least the mic takes a lot of it out. I will do this in a Q&A vid soon as a lot of people ask about it.

Thanks

yup, full blast until she gets hot then i shut her down on tickover otherwise it takes ages to get anything to temp. Do you have a fan on yours? Cheers man!

That is nice! Homemade or can you buy these things?

yep, homemade 2-3 weeks i give you project, i have to take the dimensions but now connect the dryer and try

To stop it from rusting

I thought that it should be added while the iron are hot?

it can be added hot but i prefer cold as it stays the silverish colour rather than darkening.

Thanks, have been wondering about why it should be added while hot.
