Blacksmith Solar Deck Lights | Forged Sconces
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
The new deck was in need of lighting for our nighttime shenanigans. By harnessing the power of the sun, and using the guts of some super affordable solar kit, as well as some hardware from the big box store. Old craft meets new tech for a massive upcycle.

In sorry but where is the blacksmithing exactly...???!!! You distressed stock flat bar by heating it up n hitting with a hammer.... Then bent it.....not blacksmithing. Title is a lie... Click bait... Be honest with what u make. You can do what you just did with out a forge....

You need to look up the definition of what forging is. "make or shape (a metal object) by heating it in a fire or furnace and hammering it." Get out of your mums basement and stop getting upset over a video on youtube

One thing i love about this video is the lack of talking and explaining, just letting the video speak for itself. I especially like that you silenced the grinder. Wish so many others would do that too. Love this look and how you made it all together.

Something I really appreciate in this project is the extra effort you put in to making a finished product that doesn't look like it weighs a hundred pounds. Working and welding on smaller pieces and adding little touches like grinding down the excessive steel on those elbows is something I really love seeing. Props to you for the extra effort involved cause to a metalworking snob like me that kinda work is rarely seen. You are inspiring me to finish a metal lamp I put aside months ago that's half finished :)
