    Thank you so much. I’ve decided to take up Smithing as a hobby for retirement. So many videos out there that show an expert being an expert. Great stuff mind you but discouraging at times. Plus the length of the video is a very appealing aspect as well. Well done!👍

    Bravo- from a guy tooling up in the states this is excellent- and beginner friendly. Simplistic and functional. At some point would you mind an inventory showcase of what your "Starters Kit" to make would be? Found you folks with the forging competition and loved the whimsy and intrepid staff making their entries! Bravo again- SUBSCRIBED.

    This video was fantastic, thank you. Simple, to the point, but also easy to follow. And I very much like the editing and overall style. For an informational video a voiceover works much better.

    I'm a beginner blacksmith and run into many small questions. You answer a lot of the small questions I have while explaining the bigger things too! Thanks!

    I can’t believe I’ve been blacksmithing for 6 years and I never thought of using a belt based hammer holder. I spend a lot of time setting down my hammer in weird places then searching for them. 😅

    Very concise and informative video. Please boost the audio on future videos though--kind of hard to hear even with volume all the way up.

    Just found your channel and I love it ! I'm in the very beginning stages of blacksmithing , the obsessed know nothing , have nothing , noobie. You are so helpful , calm and informative as another comment mention you answer a lot of the small questions. Please keep the videos coming thick and fast. My question would be this. I don't have a work shop,bench, or anything. Should I build an outdoor coalforge ,Irish style , or buy a propane burner and go that route ?
