nice job john thanks for showing us. Greetings from Wales UK ,

Hey very nice video good job beautiful work. Thanks for sharing. Jim

I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing

You have certainly mastered the art of the 'Crotch Tongs'

May look and be simple ish to some...but to me it's still somewhere south of fascinating how this can be done. I've watched you and others do things like this and it seems so amazing yet relatively easy. Grasping the process and understanding the mechanics is where I am. One day soon I hope to have my forge built and get the anvil n hammers. Till then I'll keep watching and doing some simple things w the acetylene torch and a block of steel at work when I can. Fyi I have no way to thank you enough for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. Just so you know sirSir your very much appreciated. Blessed days sirSir, Crawford out

Once you start working the metal it will make sense. You can experiment with modeling clay or playdoo to help understand how the metal moves too.

Just found your channel and looks like it will be one of my favorites. Nicely done! One question, at around 43 seconds in I think you say you start with 3/4 square stock. I trust you mean 3/8? . Thanks! !

Yes I used 3/8" on this one. I make a lot of these from 1/2" by hand and 3/4 and 1 with a power hammer.

Your fire is very clean. Seems like the last bags I've been getting are high sulfur and makes a lot of clinkers. Your source & cost, please? 🔥 👍

@@johnbennett7772Thanks John!

Thanks for the video, love the work. Question, wouldn't it be easier to get the folded leaf by heating it, quenching one side and using the horn to round the other side? Heat and repeat on opposite side? Or do you think there's more risk of breaking it by hitting such a thin piece with one side cold? Maybe use a small ball peen? I'm in the process of making this and I don't have the jig. Trying to save myself from making it lol. Any rate. Top notch sir, subscribed.

Love this technique. When you say suburban Jessup, are you refering to route 175? I'm down there a lot. I drive out of York, PA
