My question is what did you use to align to the chalklines as the index on the handle? (eyeball along an edge, or, mark, or?)

That is one for the notebook for sure. I never saw it before and I’m sure I would have either guessed at it or tried forging it with a set hammer from the top. I believe he simply lined it up with the center.

@@danielmoss2089 just watched the video of you making the handle for Mr.Ahman,what really gave me a grin was how your dialogue is quite the same as the big Swede uses in most of his video work but in Mr.Ahmans video I think there was more talking in this one than all the rest of his videos combined!Long story short I really enjoyed seeing two different men's take on what was essentially the same project.I thank you both for showing your extrodinary skills and making the rest of us (hopefully!)better smiths!

Wow, the idea to do those 90 degree steps at the connection of each circle with the handle astonished me, it's so clever the way you did it! Beautiful video, as always :)

@timothydalto90 I agree with you. It adds a small touch of personal connection. I also mentioned the idea on an earlier video.

I love to watch you work. I would watch you make anything.

Perfectly executed design. Rounded on the bottom for your fingers, and it even has a groove for your thumb to fit into. Maximum control with this handle, Thanks for the ideas you two.

Sometimes the way you work seems a little counterintuitive to me, but then I see how it works out, and I learn a lot from that. Thanks for all your videos.

Man, you make something simple like a handle a work of art. You can tell you’re a true craftsman

It is interesting to watch you work with the hot iron. My grandfather was the last in our family to make real use of a forge and anvil. He would become a front row ticket holder for your videos. Your picking up the pieces that you are working on reminded me of a joke that was told numerous times by Grandpa about a kid hanging around a blacksmith shop. He was fascinated by the making of shoes for a horse. As a shoe was finished, the smith would flip it on the dirt floor to cool. The kid was hovering around the shoes. He had been warned about burning his fingers. Finally the kid grabbed a hot shoe, to which the smith stated; “Burnt ya didn’t it?” The kid replied that he had not gotten burned, but it did not take him long to look at a horse shoe. I thank you for the sharing of your skills in creating useful and artistic wares.

Oh! That's the favourite kind of black smithing! Find something you need and mould it out of a material you master. Nice craftsmanship!

I love your work. That is a simply beautiful handle and just so appropriate for a wire brush.
