I love how you are able to combine great information and humor in your videos.

Reminds me of my granpa's carp recipe. Put the fish on a cedar plank and cook in the oven at 425 for 35 minutes. Take it out, throw the carp away and eat the board

Pure comedic genius! Absolutely BRILLIANT! Really had me going. I never heard of cooking down Borax, but was following along expectingly, thinking I was going to need to order a new stone mortar and pestle.

I SWEAR, ... I NEVER, .... heard of boiling down borax, ... until now.

Thanks for making milk come out of my nose!! That was great!

Literally bought a Box to try my hand at forge welding this week, came upon this vid by chance....subbed. Love it man don't stop.

I think the problem is that the pot you used to cook the borax in has bad rebound

I like this guy's sense of humor - not to mention the ultra informative lesson. Subscription earned.

Rofl that ending tho! I was sitting like "why the hell would you do that?" And then....ROFL. Ty Trent, these are the kinds of videos I started following your channel for!

ive been watching some of your videos recently but this really secured my subscription. i got a real laugh out of this one. keep it up

Dude! You just gained another fan

Sooooo funny when you threw the pot out of the window. Your the best . Keep up the good work. Love the videos

Ah ya got me on that one! I thought you had gone off the deep end! Keep up the great work!

I LOVE your teaching style! Keep doing what you do best!

There is a company in Alabama that sells the cooked down Borax. I have seen other blacksmiths pledge by it. I really enjoy your method of tossing it!

Dude, this is now one of my favorite videos. I was carefully watching all along and thinking to myself "man, I've never had to go through all of this" and then we got to the end and I kinda cheered. Keep up.tbe good work!

I have to tell you that is the best information you can get at a cooking down borax I have ever seen. Here in Canada I'm going to be letting all the other blacksmith know to watch your video. And repeat step by step what you have done.

Yep, Ya totally got me .. I was like whoa.. I didnt know you had to do that ...! then BANG out the window.. Thankyou for the lesson.

This has to be one of the more entertaining, and informative videos bout borax I've looked up all day.

That is the most common sense, plain speaking and direct thing I have seen on here. Thank you for your sage words of wisdom.

It's so refreshing to cut through the B.S. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day.

Thank you I’ve been looking for this answer 😊

Great as always Trent. Thanks!

Great ending. Thank you. As a newbie blacksmith, you had me thinking I was going to have to do so much extra work.

I love it! Thanks for the honesty.

This litteraly JUST made me a fan for life Bro!

Keep up the great videos. Only recently discovered your thread and am greatly enjoying it!

Another awesome video! Thanks!

Or just buy anhydrous borax (instead of the grocery store laundry stuff).

Mate I've just started silver casting and my 1st cast came out black and burnt and I've just found out about borax and you're video is the most informative on the Internet thank you

You really solved my problem that i was not able to find anywhere answers thank you sir!

Hey brother... Thanks for your insite, I'm new to blacksmithing and not quite as new to knife making. I've had to utube and google the crap out of my phone to build my first forge from plaster of Paris and play sand with a propane burner from amazon. It does work quite well considering the little amount of money I've invested. I've been wanting to forge weld a hilt to a dagger ( and yes i can make a slotted hilt to slide on the tang) but i want a more rustic look. My question is... what color should i bring the steel to?

This is by far the best method I have ever seen for cooking down borax.

I was watching and thinking "wonder what he's going to do with it" - made me chuckle. You get yourself a subscribe sir, well played

Love it! Great video!

That was great !! Thanks for the good information and video.

Well done. I'm liking your work mate.

thanks for the info man i had a good chuckle

This guy makes it very easy to understand..... even with some fun thrown in. ( from Australia)

Hi. I have a full time blacksmith shop. Great video and job. Thank you

I very much enjoyed that!

By far the best tutorial I have ever seen

Thanks, Trent!

Thanks man great explanation

That was brilliant!

I clicked on this video out of disbelief "cook down your Borax!" I was waiting for reality to kick in the whole time I was watching this! Great video!

Man, you had me all the way to the end, AWESOME!

I LOVE that ending!!!

Can use it to remove tarnish from silver but without the heat?

Awesome man, thanks!

Hi. I have a bunch of saw chains laying around and I always wanted to do a damscus steel piece. Is it possible to do damscus steel without borax? Is borax necessity or is it just doing it easier? Thanks for a fun clip.

Man I’ll be honest, you really had me going there. I was thinking “really I had no idea”. Amazing video!

That was excellent !

That was awesome, very informative!

I absolutely love that you took the time to make the video for us just to throw the pot out the window. Sir, I salute you.

I dont forge welding, blacksmithing or anything like that, but it got me curious there. Thanks for a nice video on the subject! Cheers from Brazil!

Priceless love it

great vid very informative

Finally I learn something on youtube!!! Thanks a bunch!

I have never seen this dude before... Now I have and now I am subbed Love this vid

Thanks so much for making this video i have been looking for one like this for a long time

Great video, and one you will remember. That gives it value. Good "training" video!

Thanks for being the guy who doesn't beat around the bush :) it'll keep me watching.

I just laughed so hard I had two tears in my eyes, that was just too funny. I've never heard of cooking down borax either like that but I have now oh my god...

Great lesson!

Good information and a great humor 😃

Great video. Nothing better than a big o' blacksmith with a sense of humor.

Love it man! lol!!!!! keep up the great work sir!

You really had me on that one, almost pissed myself when you threw the pot out the window. Love the videos.

Absolutely true!! Keep up the great work!!

I liked your video, thanks for posting it.

That my friend was awesome.

That was an excellent video. Instant subscribe!

Great tip!

Ps how much do I have to grind it down before I can snort it?

There at the end... I thought you were channeling my late dad. Brought a fond chuckle to my heart. LOL Great lesson!

Thanks; good job.

I like this guys method of teaching it's funny but effective

Loved that. I'm a beginner so i really took the bait. "Wtf... do i have to cook the borax?, i have totally missed this..." Laughed so hard at the end. Your channel is great!!!

That was great thank you

Is this the same borax used in gold smelting love to know

You’re a good teacher

I am a new blacksmith. Literally starting this weekend. Can I use Two Mule Borax. The same stuff for the laundry?

I really need to know, how much rebound does that scrap pile have with a pot of anhydrous borax? Asking for a friend...

That was hilarious!!! Love the content 😂 Keep it comin’.

you had me there... now that was a lesson well learned!

Nice follow through.

Very good Thank you

Great video!!!!

Subbed, this man is great

Good video and I appreciate you keeping it family friendly. Love the pot getting thrown out the window.

Love your videos

That's a new one for me, never seen anyone bother. Fun watching you suddenly chuck that pot.

Love this...I am not a blacksmith but, I do use borax flux to solder silver jewelry. The bubbling of the borax can be annoying but, deal with it. If your solder bits move put them back in place with a pick and get on with your soldering. Sooner or later ya may even learn how to slowly heat the work piece to keep the solder from jumping.

That was actually classic! I actually laughed out loud for that one great video thanks for sharing

That conclusion was dope

God damn love this guy!! Love the video man!!

Dude, that was awesome. Thank you very much. As a new novice to smithing, this was informative and it made me laugh, so thank you very much sir!

Will borax reacts with carbon in the iron and turn into Boron Carbide in the high temperature? Its a very strong compounds.
