Go to a scrapyard and buy the biggest fattest level piece of tool or pivot steel you can find. I just went to mine to get a piece of rail track. Came out with a 2ft chunk for $12. If you know of a shop that sells heavy equipment a piece of old 6" pivot stock works great. Just ask them if they replaced any lately, and see if they will sell you the old one.

Done it I just tried my first bit of forging , the wife's away for the weekend so set a fire in the backyard used a hot air gun with a broken heat element as a air source a 12" long piece of REO bar that been in the shed for ever and I've made a 3" flattened blade at one end, rough as hell but it cut. No turning back now I made it , I made it and feeling proud as hell. Thanks .

News Flash... Man burns down neighborhood burning yard trash. Thanks for the vid Trent. Keep 'em coming.

Having been in prison in Texas, I can appreciate this video. "Nobody takes my puddin"

my first blower was the cheapest hair dryer i could find 2 years later its still the hairdryer but now with a foot paddle of an old floor lamp to switch it on and of works good enough for me

Holy crap... I literally just uploaded a video of me testing out my new forge earlier today, and this video pops up in my recommendations. Thank you for letting me know that my weird little way of blacksmithing is not completely insane! My air source is a bit weirder, though. I found an old air mattress pump, Frankensteined a hose and metal pipe to it, and that is my air supply. Thank you for this video, man.

Since you disabled the comments on the 9/11 video I had to come to another of your videos to comment. I was a firefighter for 20 years and Have seen many fires. A typical fire consuming a structure and its contents typically burns around 1200f to 1300f and I have personally seen metal (structural) beams twisted like pretzels!! You are EXACTLY right, those beams in the trade center would not melt but would FAIL under the weight of the building because of those fires. I'm with you!!

Scotty Brunton congratulations. As to everyone who disagrees with you, the buildings were demolished and it was recorded. Yes, fuel will destroy the structural integrity of steel. That being said, you really think that building just fell perfectly from one plane in one spot at the mid-top?

@mikeredrugger

5 жыл бұрын

jsalmon, you seem to lack reading skills, did he state that the building was not demolished? Did he say that it was not an inside job? Did he say any of that? No? Okay so let me get this straight, he stated straight up fact. Just a straight up fucking fact and you got your damn buns in a twist. Let me spit some fact at you. I have seen first hand the effect of fire, both caused by burning wood, as well as by fuel. That's at ground level. And what trent showed in his debunk video stated nothing but the fact that steel can and will fail at 1200-1600 degrees f. However, let's look at what happens at the elevation of those buildings when you open a gaping ass hole, add in the forced air factor, vaporized aluminum (which when aluminum powder is present there can be absolutely nasty consequences....) Further more general dust and debris in general can cause absolutely devestating things to happen when you get dust in an enclosed space and light it on fire you can get massive explosions i.e. the sugar plant that blew it's top caused by a spark in a dusty enclosed area, you know... like a small shaft that would have things like elevators in them where dust can and does accumulate to hazardous levels, you can check various OSHA reports about dust explosions. They have more than I could sit down and write out for a quick reply. All in all, do I know what happened with absolute certainty on 9/11? No, am I claiming to have an answer.... No. What I am saying is that the kind of damage we saw that day is absolutely possible by adding dust, burning jet fuel, office debris, and structurally weakened steel.

@@mikeredrugger I'm a structural steel construction worker. My last project was 3 separate 36 floor highrises. Fire alone didn't bring the buildings down. There has been over 300 highrise fires above the 29th floor that affected 3 or more floors since 1950. Some burned across 20+ floors. Others completely out the remaining floors. Only 3 buildings suffered total collapse. They were world trade center towers 1, 2, and 7. If you look at the basic engineering and structural weight distribution of towers 1 and 2.. The exterior of the building is a skeleton frame. It supported the entire weight of the building. The exterior surface area was 99% untouched. I don't know what happened that day. But if you gave me 5 planes per building and ten trys, i couldn't get them to fall completely into there footprint. And i build them for a living.. So.. To do it not once.. Or twice.. But 3 times.. For the first time in history. Aluminum powder from a plane? No.. But it IS the key ingredient in demolition grade thermite. Food for thought. Point is.. Sure fire can weaken steel. It cannot bring down tower 7 like it fell. Go watch the tower 7 falling.. And tell me that was from secondary fires weakening steel. I'm not alone.. Over 20,000 engineers and related physics professionals have an ongoing petition to investigate tower 7 alone. I don't have a clue how they fell. But i do know it wasn't fire. I'm not sure i want to know.. Please watch a video of tower 7 collapse. And tell me what you think. Be honest.

Always great to see you have a since of humor.

Love this!! Human ingenuity always prevails even when at a disadvantage the necessity only shows us ways to carry out whatever we desire, love that!

My first setup was a fire pit with spilt oak, one of those steel plates that rail track sits on fastened to a stump with RR spikes, a cheap claw hammer/tongs from a flea market, and a taped piece of cardboard to move air. Forging with that was an experience I will not miss, but it gave me the blacksmithing bug and I have since gained invaluable skills and tools little by little. This craft especially validates the adage "Where there's a will, there's a way". Thank you for showing everyone both.

Haven't smithed anything yet but I have the bug,just building my shop. My 15 year old daughter said she was interested in smithing so here iam soaking up as much as I can on KZread! Cheers!!

Just found your channel. Love the videos. Funny, informative, and to the point. Perfect for a newbie looking to get started. No excuses. Thanks

This video was pure gold. When I just started out I'd burn 2 by 4 cutoffs, I threw enough air on them to get hot enough to work the piece. Anything will work as long as you've got the vision for it.

That is Exactly how I heat treated my first Rail Road track anvil I made, then I quenched it in my Father in laws Kubota tractor bucket. It was Awesome! Thanks for the video man.

I thought I'd make a yard fire to do some 'smithing, I didn’t have any wood so I used all the final demands I receive. It took 18 engines and four days to get the blaze under control, but I have a beautiful pair of wrought iron gates. Coincidentally the contractor from down the road reported a girder going missing from his site whilst all this was going on, it’s amazing what some people will steal! These wrought iron gates look wonderful.

This is probably one of the best videos on youtube

I'm dying right now lol. great video!

I worked out that it takes time for wood to burn off the impurities and then theres a really short window of high heat Its better to use small pieces similar to wood chips and keep shovelling them on while the blower is going You use a lot of wood but it is the best way to keep it on high heat Also, if you have clay, mix up some clay plaster slurry and dip clumps of grass in there make a birds nest type dome It makes the refractory part of the fire way stronger Even better is make a thick clay and sand mix and form that into at least the inner wall of the pit and the refractory index will be much higher Then go search for a metal chunk to use as an anvil... You can make a post anvil easily by going to a steel supplier and finding the biggest diameter bar they have and get 1 foot or so of that I got 200mm bar for about $45 Managed to make tongs and other essebtial tools like punches and chisels forming tools and such Made coat hooks and put them on a wood railroad beam and sold it as a coat hanger for $85 A whole bunch of $20 hooks Bought an anvil from the profits

Dog at 1:13, "Dude, my bone, not cool." LOL

Also, if you don't have a leaf blower, a shop vac will work if you put the hose on the exhaust hole.

Youre welcome sir

Still one of my favorite bits

For an even more ghetto forge, you can use a hair dryer attached to a 25 meter extension lead. I forged my very first sword this way, and you can adjust the bricks to make the canal/pit as long or wide as you like. So you can even manage a monster like a great sword with this brick forge method. I still have a large one in my garden that I still use, I don't really even need to go to my workshop at all, why do I even rent it again? Oh yeah, constant banging away with a 5 lb hammer pisses the neighbours off, I almost forgot.

Great video as always and down right funny and a very good point. If you want to smith there is always away to do it

Does metal become magnetized when you hammer on it? if so how do you de-magnetize it? does that only happen when there is something magnetic near it ?

That is f@ckin awesome...ain't nobody gonna have an excuse nomo! lol

Ok, I'm sold! Trent, I have a couple of cast brake drums from a Freightliner that were deemed defective so no wear, just too far out of balance to use.

I'm a professional Bladesmith and although I have a good anvil I built my own forge out of a pile of rocks cemented together with quick-cret and a piece of pipe with holes drilled into it and a hair dryer stuck on the end. I easily reach forge welding temps and I just forged a really nice cable Damascus knife. You don't need a bunch of fancy stuff to forge. Although its nice to have if you can. But you don't have to have it. You can make most of the stuff yourself and save a ton of money.

I am laughing so hard...my husband is sitting here eating chocolate pudding lol

Dont nobody steal my puddin lets make a shank 😂😂

For anyone who doesn't have a leaf blower, shop vac, or hair dryer - or who doesn't want to listen to the noise they make - you can easily make a bag bellows from simple materials. Out of curiosity about how they work I recently made one from an empty 20 pound dogfood sack, a couple of sticks to open and close the mouth with, some duct tape and a piece of pipe for the nozzle or tuyere, and a brick to put inside the bag to hold it in place. It worked surprisingly well once I got the knack of opening and closing it properly. Twin bellows would work even better.

I honestly think the first thing I'm going to forge is a pudding shank. Thanks Trent.

Do i have to add that stuff in that exact order?

I used to forge with just a normal little camp fire and a log with some thin steel on top

If I hadn't had a reason to subscribe before. xD ROFL! Go get that damn pudding!
