Thank you Rob, Its just process, get each step done right and it all comes together at the end.

I have seen that done, i was going to do it from square but thought id give it a go in round first, does the pin move well enough on a twist? i suppose it would add a bit of friction to help it stay in place. If only the blower wasnt as loud it would be perfect asmr!

@@workingwithiron There is a little bit of friction, but the pin moves without a problem. I would love to see your video on this type of brooch. The blower was not loud, at least for me. I got used to it by now. :D

could you estimate how much your entire forge set up cost?

Thank You Dave, Im glad i can help!

Thank You! Its good to be making videos again, really enjoying it!

Thank you Very much!

Everything is heat defined with bends. I did this a bit cold but i knew how it would act so i could work with it. one tip is, get the taper as graceful and smooth as you possibly can before even bending up. Im gonna add this to the list of explanation videos as i cannot type it, i have to show it as my vocabulary is nowhere near good enough to explain what i do in text.

No. Thank You, you have just made it worth my time. thats the thing, Its not all about beating it to death as i see a lot of other smiths do, there is a time and place for that but not constantly. i want to do a few vids on general techniques and tips that i see nobody talking about in this craft but it is how i keep my work the way it is. I think it would help a lot of folk out.

@@workingwithiron That would be a major help to us rookies, and very much appreciated. I have learned a great deal with your barbecue fork video. Must have watched five times now. A lot of detail and precision, very nice work and you teach well. Glad I found your site. Thanks Nathan

I appreciate you being here Tinman! Thank You!

Thank you Rusty!

Thanks Buddy! Appreciate it!

Thanks a lot Len!

Thank you! I really wish i could do youtube full time but its not paying out enough yet unfortunately. practice is all it is, anyone could do this if they put the time in to it! Let me know how you get on!

Gracias amigo!

Its certainly a pleasure, Thank you for watching!

Thank you very much! I enjoy when people enjoy, thats what its all about!

You are very welcome Nathan. Without question, one of the best smiths on the tube. No theatre or dramatics just straight talking no nonsense top quality content. Kind of stuff I thrive off. A great source of learning. Thank you very much man, keep up the great work.

Yes! Exactly that! It does create holes but in loosely woven fabric it closes up easily enough.

Thanks Nick! It is a wax finish, a company called Briwax, or you could get some renaissance wax, its a hard durable finish and a lot cleaner than Oil. Just put on at a black heat, leave it for a day then buff with a cloth, works a treat!

@@workingwithiron thanks Nathan! I'll be trying it out!

It helps with the bending as it wont convex or concave which saves trying to correct the loop when its wrapped around. and adds decoration.

Thank You!

The wax creates a protective layer to prevent rusting. Applying hot soaks the wax in a lot deeper as the surface is quite porous so helps it get in all the nooks and crannies. Hope that helps 👍

I don't sale them as this is the first I've made. Will make a few up and link you with Etsy when I've listed some.

Thank you

at 8:18 there is a tin of it on the anvil. its called BRIWAX. easily accessible for everyone. hope this helps!

@@workingwithiron Yes it does! Thank you for the quick answer!

This is an awesome "make" I watched and watched and thought to myself "I can do that" You have inspired me to try. Thanks ⚒️🔥 ffffforge on Nathan.😊

@@dadratsforge wahooooo! Go get it!

Briwax. It's a type of wax.

@@workingwithiron prevents the metal from oxidation?

The spike goes through the blanket, it only works with loosely woven materials to not create a hole permanantly, then the brooch is spun and locks itself in. i have no blanket so couldnt show it on film unfortunately

@@workingwithiron makes sense - all those knitted and crocheted blankets my grandmother made would be perfect for one of those!

быку в ноздри вставлять , вроде.но это не точно

просто много молотком работал. По идее, круглогубцами это всё гнётся с одного нагрева, плюс потом обстучать немного и готово.

Что это ???

haha I do tech, But have to create the content dude, you know how it is!

@@workingwithiron excuses
