C'est merveilleux, je ne pensait pas qu'il existait encore des gens qui savaient travailler comme à l'époque ou je commençais mon apprentissage il y a 56 ans. Tout simplement merci, je viens de passer 4 heures à vous regarder m'émerveiller de votre habileté !! It's wonderful, I did not think that there is still people who knew work like at the time or I was starting my apprenticeship 56 years ago. Simply thank you, I just spent 4 hours you watching me marvel at your skill!

Have not seen a better Blacksmith fabricator. Jc
I was wondering about the offset, until you passed the stock through the jaws and above the rivet. Then, I said, “Aha, that makes perfect sense.” Nice job and I enjoy your videos. Congrats on the play button.

Thanks. Yes it's a useful feature sometimes.
Thunder Bear, it is my considered opinion that you are in fact a very clever person. I never get tired of your videos. There is a unique balance to them that I find both peaceful and satisfying. Hope you and yours are well and safe.
I know nothing about blacksmithing yet I'm always enjoying your videos. Great Job!!!
"Forged in Fire" here you come! :D Nice that you showed the use of the offset in the end for us non-blacksmiths.

I've been a knifemaker for over 40 years and I think that show "Forged in Fire" is the biggest joke I've ever seen. Those people that come on that show are supposed to be experienced "Blade Smiths"? The blades they come up with are ridiculous. I wouldn't dare sell anything that they make. Terrible, terrible amateurs.
You have a good young man helping you with the chores.
Don't ask me why, but videos of your craftsmanship, help me to relax from a stressful day. Congratulation to the 100k Subs. Keep going.

Best looking tongs on the KZreadr! I like the transition from the boss to the reins. I always forge that a little more than I like.
Excellent work !!!! I send you a big hug from Serbia.

I just finished making a pair of these tongs a few days ago. I am very pleased with them and your video was very helpful. I am I'working without a power hammer (but someday soon!!) and so I did some procedures differently, but seeing your work was the key to showing me how to proceed. I'm not a knife maker, actually a friend gave me a bucket full of horseshoes, and I'm trying to figure out what all I might do with them. Now I can hold them very nicely! Thanks!

That's great!! My intention has never been to make a how-to video, but to inspire people to make something of their own. With blacksmithing there is so many ways to reach the same goal and there is probably no wrong way.
Man I love you videos. So much detail on how to create what you are.
Beautiful instruction! Can't wait to make a set!
