This is by far the most thorough description of doing this type of cross. Very well done!

Great description of the process. I made 10 blanks today for next time I fire up the forge.

Excellent instructional video. Best version for a split cross I've seen so far.

I agree with TALLYTHER below. This was VERY well done, with great explanation and visual instructions. Thank you young man, and keep it up. I'm headed to my man cave to start on one right now !!

Excellent. I always knew there was an easier and more reliable way to make them, and I got a good idea on making myself a flatter. Many thanks.

Thank you for the fantastic how-to. Well done. As you mentioned, there are opportunities to tailor to a particular preference; I'll build one that is tig-welded to a nice base to free-stand on a shelf. You've given me the start and inspiration. Thanks again.

Very nice! I’ve made many from 1” and one from 2”. I don’t flatten I use that as a design element and make “shadow” cross with a fuller. I make a domed stand with copper or aluminum concho spacers. I often heat color the base purple, and Japan Brown the cross. Many ways to dress them. Great gift! Thanks!

Thanks so much for this video. I now know where I've been doing things wrong; hopefully the cross I will do tomorrow will be as successful as yours. Didn't cut that piece out of the one I made last year, and I think that will make all the difference.

Great job. You said you was going to put bras on it how-do-you-do that. Just thinking about getting into forging. Is that a liquid and where do you get it? God-bless have a great day

@nathansforge 4 жыл бұрын

It is done with a brass brush after the piece comes brown from the red heat and turned black you just scrub at it with the brush and that transfers a small amount from the bristles to the piece
