The UV filter is a dramatic improvement over other blacksmithing videos I have watched.

We would like to eventually have the detail more or less visible even in high heat. More experimenting required.

Thak, this is really well done.

Amazing work thanks for sharing

Amazing! Never disappointed!

I blanket thumbs up before watching as every one of your vids have been great. Keep up the talking, explaining and spitballing.. keep up the good work.

Appreciate the support, thanks a lot.

This is how you end up waking the old ones Thak. Nice job!

Thanks Thak! I get the best stuff from you. Recently copied the skull best I could for a bottle opener. It went great thanks to your excellent instructions. The next one might have to be a Chthulu.

H.P. Is awesome. Probably my most favorite author. I'm definitely going Tom try this. The filter seems to be looking good too.

Wooooow that is awesome !!! I subscribe now for more videos like this 😎

That's so awesome. I've never seen anyone do this in a blacksmith medium. Metal! \m/

Great vid, the filter does help a fair bit with the glare as well. Will have to try one of these myself, my wife and I were actually married by a priest of Cthulhu at our pirate themed wedding, this sort of thing would make a great anniversary gift.

Awesome skills! I found your channel thru Gary Huston"s channel and looking forward to following your projects.

it's awesome your work and dedication

Awesome blacksmith and artist 👍👍👍

As always awesome work. You know it bears a striking resemblance to the Moog or something like that on the Dr. Who TV show from BBC. Definitely like the end result. Thanks for sharing your excellent artistry 🙏 Blessings to you sir Crawford out 🧙‍♂️

Really awesome videos. Thanks for sharing. I would love to see a video of one of your kitchen hood builds.

I would think that an IR-blocking filter would make it easier for the camera to pick up details without the yellow glare.

Thanks for the suggestion. We will continue trying different filters until we are satisfied.

@@ThakIronworks The glow from hot iron is mostly infrared, not ultraviolet. (The glow from hot iron is beautiful to see, but most video cameras can't do it justice.) If you want video of welding, *that's* ultraviolet.

@@purplealice well as I said we will take a look at an infrared filter. Everyone has offered their opinion on this matter, though you seem to have the best grasp of the problem. It definitely makes sense that red steel would produce infrared and blue welding arcs ultraviolet. Thank you.

@@ThakIronworks You're entirely welcome. I like watching you work - you explain what you're doing and why. I would like to learn blacksmithing, although the times I've tried it I could barely lift the smallest hammer. (I envy Fae of Forge Harder - she can swing those big hammers as effectively as any man.) I have a head full of random information, and I tend to emit information and advice involuntarily, the way a cat sheds :-)

Awesome vid! One of my favorite so far! Also, great Lovecraft lore background info and tidbits from Metallica. If you havent ever heard it, the punk band Rudimentary Peni has an HP Lovecraft themed record called Cacophony that is an all time favorite of Lovecraft themed music.

Very smart

Thank you! My shop is a studio of sorts. I also have some items on display at a local art gallery. Hoping that my channel will act as a studio in some way too but it is never the same as seeing something up close.

@@ThakIronworks just seeing some of your work on the shop tour videos was enough to convince me you are far more advanced and mastered iron works to a much higher level than most of us will live long enough to get good at. Lol you've been swinging hammer on steel more summers than I have left to live LMBO. Ahh to spend a month hanging on a coat hooks in your shop to absorb a fraction of the knowledge you have lol. Hey just being honest as I see it. 🙏 Be blessed sirSir Crawford out 🧙‍♂️ Oh I subbed you on this device to but still the same old crawford lol

Great stuff! You make it look so easy. The video is still a bit blown out at the higher temperatures making it a bit hard to see details. Maybe a polarizing lens? (could just do a crude test with a pair of sunglasses)
