    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!

    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.

    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.

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!

    congratulations on your silver play button ! Out of all the blacksmiths on KZread you and alec Steele have the best content . but I will say your the best for skill and craftsmanship and editing . everything you make has a purpose while alec gets a little stupid now and then .
