Hooks are under appreciated. They are fun to make and there are so many ways you can customize and make different kinds. Thanks for the video

I agree :-) thanks for taking the time to watch the video

Roy, I want to thank you for your videos like this one. Since I've started making "smaller ticket" items, my sales numbers have increased dramatically. I'm getting ever closer to being able to leave my day job and make my living through my smithing. It's amazing how one small piece of advice can make such a substantial difference in a person's goals toward success. Thank you again.

We are so happy to be making a difference! Yes, smaller ticket items in quantity can help increase your pay, especially if you can make them efficiently! Thanks for being part of the channel. Blessings, Jessica and Roy

Please come back! I miss watching you pound metal on the good ole Harbor Freight anvil!

On the guy saying it took too long to explain the burner. I frankly enjoy the long detailed videos. You give all the information we need and then some.

I want to say THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge. I am a green beginner and appreciate your KZread channel. God Bless you.

Roy, you're all right!!! I don't care what other people say!!! Lol 😆 🤣. Just keep teaching the best way you know how. So keep up the good work and God bless 🙏

Who cares what other people think, these keyboard warriors are the worst!!! You do excellent work. Your instructions are clear and presented well. Dont let others bitterness get to you. We all roll our eyes when we see haters in the comments. 🔨🔨🔨

Great video! I really enjoy watching these tutorials that teach us how.

I am glad to see someone showing how items are made, so newbies like myself and make good and simple things to sell. God bless you

It's absurd that people will complain about free information and demonstration, saying it isn't good enough. Unless there's something actually incorrect or especially dangerous about what is being explained, just be grateful!

I'm going to be out of my primary job for a few weeks due to knee surgery and I still want to be able to bring in some kind of money flow. These are great ideas to still keep things flowing. Love this channel!

No such thing as fast money in blacksmithing, just work. I love that.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. As I posted on a previous video I am just beginning to learn how to smith, mostly through books and videos like this. I will definitely try this hook as my next project to try and learn. Thanks again and please keep the videos coming.

I made eight hooks this afternoon from large cut nails and your videos were the inspiration for that project. I will also be trying this hook out later next week.

Thanks Just started learning yesterday 44year old mother of 4..made some weird hooks with some 6 inch nails. Love the spade hook. First project yesterday was a butter knife spoon out of a giant nail..lol.

Hey thanks for the live stream the other day dude! It's good to see people on a personal level interact with their followers. That hook is pimp.

I love to watch you make stuff using hot steel. Keep up the great work too.

What a great little hook just love the spade end, full points to you for hand forming the hook, Regards Stephen

I have a full time blacksmith shop. You do a great job. Thank you for the time and hardwork you put in to these videos. Keep forging.

The best channel ever. Helped me so much. I can now even manage to chisel a almost straight line, lol. I Will definitely try to make those great hooks. /Peter Lassis from Sweden.

I just forged my first hook that I actually liked today! Thanks for posting this

new to blacksmithing, made 8 hooks today from nails on a firebrick/butane torch mini forge thanks for posting this, I am addicted and can't wait to get into trying these techniques out.

Thank you so much for this! I finished building my first forge just earlier today so I'm literally just starting out. This looks like an amazing way to start developing my skills. Thank you again!

Thanks so much for doing this and giving us your advice on how to do this. Very kind of you to share with the public. You make the work look so easy. As a beginner, I know otherwise! Love your site.

I think u do a great job demonstrating I’ve been watching a lot of your vids because I bought a $15 anvil at harbor fright and made a brick fire place in my back yard and your videos have given me a lot of ideas and helpful tips for when a get some materials and tools to start making some of these things you’ve shown me

Beginner here. Excellent tutorial. Thank you Roy

I LOVE THIS CHANNEL SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Simple, effective, and elegant hook. Well done! Thanks for the vid!

Great build Roy! I made a very similar hook in my first blacksmithing class along with some nails. I love the spade on top! I just hot cut mine and flattened it out. I am definitely going to give it another shot with a spade now, so thanks for the inspiration!

Love your work roy. I hope you don't let the haters get you down. Keep on keeping on, I'll keep watching every video.

I love to rewatch this video, it's good advice you share but for me I need to see the steps you do to help ne get started in blacksmithing and it's great therapy for me. Bless you buddy you are a blessed man thank you.

Thanks for this demo Roy!

This is the 2nd video I watched from your channel I love it I been thinking about building a forge and teaching myself to blacksmith. Your hook videos are very informative thankyou

Excellent tutorial!, thank you!

awesome as always god bless you and your family keep them coming looking forward to seeing more

Roy, I am just getting started in the blacksmithing trade and I can honestly tell you, your videos have absolutely influenced me. Don't let the haters get you down. God has blessed you with a wonderful skill and I thank you for sharing it!!!! God Bless and keep up the wonderful work.

Love the hooks, just starting blacksmithing myself I think i'll make some of these for Christmas gifts! Be Blessed!

Thank you so much for posting ideas. I'm really considering trying to make this my career and the content you post shows ideas on how I might be able to do that.

Ive got to say you are by far the best teacher on KZread...merry Christmas

I like the leanght of the videos..leaves no questions un answered !

You and Black Bear Forge have got to be the most informative channels on KZread ! You can post the same project and one can learn something a little different from each. Virtual high five!! I would love to see you both do a collaborative project together

Great video. Aside from learning, half the enjoyment watching the process, no need to fast track it.

Great video thank you, I’m just getting started with blacksmithing

Thank you for making these videos. Simple things we hobby smiths can do to help support out hobby. I enjoy your presentation style, and love your videos on items that sale well. So thanks again from Oklahoma. Matt

WE LOVE ROY!!! ROY ROCKS!!!! THIS CHANNEL IS THE BEST!!!

I absolutely love that you let the internet experts know that if they think they can do it better, then do their own!

I love your videos Roy. You are very inspiring to me. God bless!

Keep up the good work! You do you man, I enjoy your videos.

Looks good and you make it look easy. I’m just starting out and trying to get things together 👍

Im 15 and started blacksmithing when I was 12 I used to make this hooks as practice and didn't think they were worth anything so now I think I might start making this and selling them just to cover the price off coal and maybe fund some new tools. thanks and you make great videos.

Very good video and easy way to make money. Tell any of those people that do nothing but complain to find another channel. If they want 10min videos, then blacksmithing isn't for them. Great work, thank you for sharing your skills!

I really liked your video on make no hooks out of horseshoe nails, I'm going to make a few and use them on a key and mail holder project. I don't have a forge or large anvil, but I have a little 4lb one and a blow torch- thanks for sharing that info as well!

Don't worry about what people say thats negative man. Was a good tutorial and covered everything, I just learnt on a beginner experience. Thanks

Very nice , gave me many ideas for improving my skill. Thank you/.

finally after about a half dozen sets of tongs I managed to get a set that I can actually use. Next up maybe some hooks. Your videos are definitely eye opening.

I just gotta say that I have watched several dozen of your videos, & I have no complaints about how you do them. But I watch them in order to learn, not to pick apart your technique.

I know what my next hook is. Thanks for all the great videos.

hanks mate. I will be giving these a go for sure.

Just a great video. Still amazed that you can do the video's and run a business and have a family all at the same time. Great stuff, and as, the comments from the majority of viewers suggest we all enjoy both the content and the man.

I love watching all of your videos just starting out you have shows me a lot thank you so much god Less

You and your wife have been a big help with the information that you share. I have been playing around with this for a few years and as of today I am cutting back some from my full time job to put more time into being the Blacksmith I want to be. I am not quite ready to quit my day job just yet though, lol. I should have begun years ago, but at 50 I still have a few more good years and will reach the level that I want. Thanks for all of these videos. God bless!

Thanks man. Good video.

Looks good Thank You.

great video, thank you much

Awesome! Great video

Thanks for the video, I have watched it about 8 times. I am always stuck by how much you have grown over the last two years. You seem to have learned to ignore the trolls and just plain rude comments. I like that about you, the higher road and such. Good man... Thanks again, I still can't make that spade shape right and I have over a hundred tries. All I have is a ball peen and it just kind of mashed the metal. I have a Cross Peen coming from Shawn Cunningham in a couple of days. Thanks for the great video.....

Less than 10 minutes assuming 1 at a time (batching would reduce that considerably, as would a jig) and at $20/ hook, that's $120/hour minus materials/supplies. Very good sir, my hats off to you.

I like your work. Very informative channel. Making jigs and using them is not only part of the fun but said jigs pave the way for the two "R's" of manufacturing: Reliability and Repeatability. Reliably Repeating a product which will increase profit. Less time manufacturing more time with your family or whatever you want to spend your time doing.

It was helpful 👍

Awesome video, thank you mate x

Great video brother

Awesome have merry Christmas❤

I would like to see one of your hook jigs in action. Haven't found one of your vid yet that shows one in action. great idea on the hooks, I will be using it when I start smithing.
