I like all your videos before watching because I know I'll never be disappointed. I always have a huge smile on when I see you uploaded another video!

I appreciate you sharing your knowledge Gary, you obviously have a lot of it. You've inspired several projects that I've tried

I really like your videos Gary thank you for sharing with us

welcome back gary welcome back!

Came out very nice!

I think you are getting a very nice job done thanks for sharing

Very nice thank you for sharing this.

Never heard of this, interesting stuff right here. Nice stuff!

I have been kicking around the idea of making a knife out of a horseshoe recently for my father in law who is a rancher and farrier (he only does it for family and friends now though) but I will probably try to forge weld a better steel to the blade area so it will hold an edge and then I want to make some brass "nails" and put them in place of real nails in the handle. Love the videos

Very nice

Another great demo, Gary, I always enjoy watching your work. Hope they can get your hand working better. I have a horseshoe in my shop and will probably give this a shot. There is a recipe for 'Super Quench' on the net that will partially harden even mild steel.

I really enjoy watching your videos. I am attempting to learn the basics of blacksmithing. Not for any other reason than a hobby. and I enjoy you explainning why you do things. I have learned a lot from your videos. Please keep doing what you're doing! Best wishes!

There is probably a market for these as rustic letter openers.

Gary, just wanted to thank you for all your videos! I have learned so much from them. I hope to see more in the future! Thanks again!

Great

Nice

Beautifull vise, you have there!

Nicely done. Have thought about soaking your wood handles in motor oil? Cheaper than BLO. In fact I have oil from my truck after a filter change. The wood gets black but they are some old beater tools that get rained and snowed on. Ones that are are of better quality I use clean motor oil or even cheap cooking oil.

nice form.

What's the reason for keeping the hammers in water? Is it to do with keeping the wooden handle swelled/tight in the head? Thanks.

That knife came out really nice. You should google custom knives and see what they're selling for. I'm sure it could turn into a profitable sideline for you.

Turned out great for such a little bit of time! I would have they'd want to use really tuff abrasive resistant steel like is used on bulldozer or loader buckets.... Thank you Gary! :o) O,,,

Gary, loved your vid. Informative and entertaining as usual Sir. Around the 21 minute mark you were using a abrasive wheel/belt on your anvil... do you have an information on where one can buy one? Cheers.

I found a nice long leaf spring, so I know exactly what to make

What are the work plates( cant think of the proper term) of the guillotine made of? Im guessing mild steel would work ok for a hobby smith?

Good to see you back Gary. Is that a new blacksmith's helper or did you just paint it?

Does scale account for a lot of material loss or is that no problem?

did you quench it in water?

Neat one.

Have you thought about a power hammer?

If you haven’t broken nothing than you ain’t doing nothing

for some reason i only hear you, no actual video...... your other vids work, i even used my ipad and android pads and they do not work... all my other 400 subs work... strange.
