Hey Ethan! Had a great visit with your parents and your dad gave me the gift from you. Thanks for thinking of me. I can’t wait for the opportunity to get up your way and get to meet you. Please keep up your great videos and of course your amazing art.

That would be awesome for you to get up here! And yeah dad texted to say he was having dinner with his "axe murderer friends." 🤣

I admire your craftsmanship and especially your tool building and modification!

Awesome project/job! I worked for a furniture manufacturer that would make custom projects. We used to have to make our own bending jigs to make what the customer wanted. The ones you made for your scroll work are the same as we made ours. They don't have to be pretty, just need to get the desired shape you want. Keep up the great job.

Absolutely love this Mr. Ethan. I like the idea of fabricating specialty tools and jigs as well. Anything to speed up the process of producing multiple pieces that are nearly identical. I always enjoy seeing increase in speed as a result of the tools and jigs. Watching this makes me want to try my hand making a hummer or two!! Thank you for another delightful video. Oh yeah I hope you make a little profit too! 🤙🏼

I did one a few years ago and yours is much improved great project 👍 Perhaps I could copy you 😌 Agree lots of preparation for most of BlackSmith projects. BIG THANKS FOR PREPARATION INFORMATION 🙏 Thanks for teaching me John Switzer taught me the Fredrick Cross and I believe the Hummingbird

Very nice design. 😀👏 For the finish, why are you not applying the linseed oil while the iron is black hot? It cooks the oil instantly and gives the job a lovely black, shiny and durable finish. I'm sure your venture will pay for it's self.

@BlazingEmberForge

Жыл бұрын

Thank you! :) And as far as the finish... It being more durable when applied hot is actually a new one on me! I'll have to give that a go. But for use with inside plants, I've found a thin coat cold does the job, and I actually prefer these without a black finish myself. But it's just a matter of taste. Thanks for watching and the kind words!

Great delicate work! May I ask what type of bandsaw are you using (the one with the Starrett blade) to cut stock? Yours seems very simple and efficient.

@BlazingEmberForge

4 ай бұрын

Thank you. It's a no-name 1952 power hacksaw. 👌 Modern bandsaws, probably even small ones, are definitely more accurate and faster.

I'd love to see more about how you made the push stick and bending jig

@BlazingEmberForge

Жыл бұрын

Well next time I'll do my best to make 2 videos then. :) Parts of the push stick though were not OSHA approved & required the near 0 tolerance on the work rest haha! But it worked, so... :)

Nice work! What size starting stock is that?

Really nice gonna try to make one 😊

Too kind, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! My goal with starting this channel was originally to show people what I was capable of, and the possibilities that forging has in the art sphere, which is much more my passion. I definitely haven't been very intentional with that, but I'm planning to swing back around. :) Glad it shows!

Howdy! It is 1/2" square, and 3/16" round. Which is both easier, and yet more challenging technically. :) Hope that helps! If you make one I wanna see!
