    I love that you go stright to the point. I've found that a lot of the backsmiths on youtube go on and on about nothing, when i just want to see how the task is done. Great video! Subscribed.

    Thanks man, these are so cool! Some of them look really complex, but you did a great job simplifying the process. Will definitely be using that cube twist in the near future!

    If you don’t have a welder to make a double end twist wrench you can slide a snug piece of pipe over your bar and it will keep it from kinking. Thanks for the video 👍

    Very simply, concise instruction. Such a refreshing change. Excellent. These things needn't be limited to ornamental work. Working on a tapered, and slightly modified bar, you could knock up a handy little set of screw detractors. Worth some further investigation. I'd always intended to play round with the techniques to get a bar for a large sized Archimedean drill. Something a couple of feet long to use when working stone, and not wanting percussive tools. This stuff can lead to drill bits, augers etc of people want to investigate

    One of the best twist tutorials on youtube. Is that tool at 3:26 or anything like it, ideally wider for grooving standard 6" rail spikes in one good whack, available commercially? I just don't know who or what would use a chisel so wide and thus where to look for it.

    Possibly a dumb question but im new to forging. If you were to forge say the rubix Or alligator twist into a billet to make a knife would it retain the pattern if you etched it? Or just end up with cold shuts for days or something similar?

    this was done most likely with mild steel (it won't harden so won't hold an edge) you only need to flux something if you are forge welding.
