As a beginner, I’d like to see more videos like this. The pace is easy to follow, and I need the same guidance that you’re providing that’s missing in other videos. Experienced folks probably don’t like it, but for me, this is great!!

Finally I know how to make a skillet from those skillet blanks you sent me 😅

I've been absent from the blacksmithing group for some time. This is truly an excellent video. I remember seeing Chandler struggle trying to figure out how to easily make a skillet. He taught me a lot through his tenacity. You have developed this into a very nice process. Blessings, John

Well done yall, team work really can make the dream work. The tutorial showing someone how adds some steps of things that might come up for someone who hasn't done one. 👏👏👏🤞🙏

Very beautiful explained and very information and helpful video today Roy and tom. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.

That's looking like a very nice skillet.. I especially like the idea of keeping the handle a different finish.. I had finished mine all the same seasoning so when showing off to my family they all thought I had casted it.. just to many cast iron skillets in the South I guess haha

The new camera is really nice and shows a lot of great detail

Great Roy, seen a few videos doing the same and all except this one have been a bit of a struggle! Its an excellent pan, still waiting for my steak!😁

You made it look easy! Good video! God bless you!

Very neat process , God bless you fellas

I just started forging about three weeks ago and I didn't even know you could forge a frying pan! I might have to try making one of these. I think the forge where I'm learning has a swage block that would work. Doesn't have a set hammer with a curved edge though, but we're making hammers in the next class so I can always just make one.

Looks like a real winner

instructional videos that actually show someone being instructed is the absolute best!!! thanks Roy!!

Great video and tips keep up the good work

I would like to see a socket handle on it like your wok.

Very cool! :)

Hi roy I am enjoying the content on these small videos a lot. I have a question for you and the rest of the community is there a long video on explaining the difference between hand crank bellows electric blower and ye old bellows and the affect on charcoal coal and coke and if not would anyone be interested in creating one please as all i can get is charcoal to forge in the control of this type of solid fuel and trying to keep the sparks to a minimum would help as i keep most of my fuel in water to try and keep them to a minimum but the hair dryer i use is putting out too much air every with my air gate almost completely closed i don't have a chimney at the moment and i don't know if it would help to divert some of the sparks in a more controlled way so i don't wear most of them is air flow my problem or is it my fire pot depth its only about 3" deep the fire great was designed more for burning coke and has large slots that run the length of the great so let in a fair bit of air it is a bottom blast forge and i like using my solid fuel forge more than the gas forge the gas forge has it's usefulness but is really bad at heating 24mm stock as it's only a single burner forge so all my tools are made in the coal forge

Well that was awesome now is the next video going to be the cooking video forged side cooking I still think you should do it it'd be a great hit good video

Torbjorn Ahman had a video on this. He used different tooling but it was a good job of it when done. His handled was unnecessarily complex, IMHO.

Serious question! Does the thickness of the original plate make a significant difference? I mean other than the obvious weight difference and the subsequent additional forge work to the sides. I would think a quarter inch base stock would not be any more cumbersome than a cast iron skillet of the same proportion. Just curious. Plus have you ever attempted to make lids /covers for your pans? Or socket n wood handle of sorts? Blessing y'all! Crawford out 🙏🔥⚒️🧙🏼‍♂️

Maybe have the missus do a cooking video using the pan and the coal forge?

I wish you had shown the pickling part

Like the training a novice video. Whats next? Thomas Tongs?

now your swage block is a wok... ;-)

Have you forged a square pan? They are great for bacon.
