your wife held the camera almost as steady as if it was on a tripod so kudos to her for that and kudos to you for a very informative and details video. cheers mate

The bond you're developing with your wife in making these videos is simply beautiful in the truest sense. Congratulations to both of you.

The best video about hardening and tempering yet, I could see the colors very well. Very well explained with no fluff and I’ve seen a few videos but this one is the best and the assistant did a great job too. Thank you very much.

Thank you for the simple and we'll explained process. I am 60 years old and just getting started in Blacksmithing. I will be using a coal forge like you when I get things set up. Thanks again.

Brings back a lot of memories. Hand made tools seem to inherit a part of you that shop bought just never has. Thank you and God bless you both for continuing this great Traditional skill that is being lost with our young people.

The most informative of all vids I've seen, and that's hundreds. "Praise the LORD".

I can't thank you enough ... yesterday was my first time ever work with steel, and I successfully could hardened my 75 yo old man's favorite ancient wooden handle screwdriver set ... he is so happy, and I'm so thankful ....

I liked and enjoyed watched learning how to temper tools, I also enjoyed hearing your wife's comments in the background.

The best video on hardening on KZread by far!

I learned this as an apprentice back in the 70's, but still learned things watching you, thank you.

Perfect, just what I needed to know simply stated. I'd really like to make a few chisels and gouges in a rustic style, and this lets me know the method.

I have to assume that you are a Great Blacksmith, but it is obvious that you are a born teacher. Thanks for the clear concise format!!!

He's not a teacher, what you're seeing is the Lord helping him/us out. ✌♥️

Thank you. I do a lot of hand tool woodworking out here in West Africa where we still plow with hand forged plows behind a couple of cows. I was digging up a garden bed yesterday with my hand forged daba (short-handled hoe). May we live above reproach. Though our neighbors may accuse us, they will see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. Let us live simple lives and work with our hands. Great video. I agree with all the previous comments about how useful and well presented it was.

What a fantastic video. I wasn't doing something wrong, I was doing everything wrong. Thanks for the great info.

Learnt just what I wanted to know. Thanks from Zimbabwe

Very informative, you took me back almost thirty seven years to the class room with my old metal work teacher.. Very good.

Why isn't this more than a million views?......this makes a lot of sense

I greatly appreciate your in depth details and explanations of how to harden and temper. I used this exact tutorial to make a couple hand tools and they all work phenomenal! Thanks for the help Roy! God bless you and your home as well as craft!

A really excellent demonstration of the annealing process. Your approach was better illustrated (thanks Jessica) than what it was in my blacksmithing class. In my mind the process was a bit vague but I've got it now. Kudos, Roy!

Though India had the oldest foundry and good blacksmiths even today, their art is not to be seen in towns now-a-days. I have enjoyed your blacksmith's techniques. The pains you are taking to define how the fire heats up slowly the iron is quite appreciable. The technique you impart like which part of the chisel to be treated first and how that has to be achieved is great. Thanks for your educative spirit to propagate the ancient art that man had ever blessed the world with. Carry on!

I just recently started forging and have been watching hours and hours of videos, but after watching your video I think I finally understand what is going on when hardening and tempering a piece of metal. Thank you so much.

absolutely great job of explaining the process and he videography was top notch as well! wish I had found your demo sooner as it answered a lot of important questions and the video was able to reveal in true color exactly what you were referring to. Job well done!

Now I Need time to practice! Gerrtings from Switzerland

Thank you for showing and describing the color change simultaneously. I'm not very good at seeing colors, so your description of what was happening while I was watching was very important to me.

I'm looking forward to trying this myself. A lot of guys make heat treatment seem complicated. This seemed to take some of the mystery out of it. Thank you sir.

Very nice work. I do so appreciate your efforts at keeping the colors as true as you can so we see the colors we're going to see since accurate temperature measurements are tough and expensive to do, as well as the magnet crosscheck. WELL DONE SIR!

Thank you love the live format

Thank you so much for sharing us your knowledge. Its a great honor to recieve such a gift of knowlege. With great explanations that can easily be understand. A perfect demonstration, can easily be followed. May this knowledge be shared and be scattered.... Thank you once again keep up this good work.... GOD BLESS!!!!.....

Excellent thanks for showing us .respect to your camera lady she's important too .Ant from Wales UK.

Loved this video, wish I had watched it many years ago when I started out as a gunsmith!

Never knew the way to harden and temper. Very well explained. I didn't know you could temper in the forge. Thank you for being so informative and taking your time to explain what you are doing.

Brings me back to my first set of stone carving tools that I made from tool steel.Knowing how to temper your tools is very important.The water vs oil was very interesting info.

Step by step demo on the process of hardening and tempering.SUPER!

Being Christ centered in everything that I do in life is my goal; so I very much like the name of your channel and I'm subscribing immediately !

Just sharing some basic knowledge like oil vs water quenching while doing your vid makes this video great. Thank You.

That trick with the magnet is really interesting. You learn something new every day...

Although you are using simple video techniques your presentation is highly beneficial to all who seek the knowledge shared AND your cameraperson (wife) has a sweet clear voice. Keep up the great work you two!

perfect! Exactly what I needed. Thank you.

Great video, at first glance, I thought the video was long but then watching I realized you were explaining the process instead of just "stating" the steps. Thank you.

Old man, just starting and you did the best job I have seen explaining the grain structure and what is happening as you heat and cool. GREAT Video and explaining critical stuff. Just subed

A man like you really teaches every part of the p process!

Good camera work,clear concise instructions repeated enough to stress and clarify importance of steps 5 thumbs up.

Excellent, detailed information. It's great that the colours showed up very clearly on the camera. Thankyou.

Sir , thank you so much for sharing your knowledge . I am from Sri Lanka .

I have tempered small items in a standard kitchen oven. Set temp according to steel type and hardness required, place tool in oven and let set for an hour or so depending on the thickness of the part. You cannot over temper with longer temper times, it could stay in the oven all day with no ill effects, quench or not when removed. A bronze temper color equals 375 to 425F.

Hi sir. Very informative and helpful. Thank you so much. From Cape Town S Africa 👍

A bit wordy, but very very informative and on point. An excellent starting point for developing your own technique for tempering, keeping in mind that color perception varies from person to person. Good Show!

You have a fine teaching method. You're film style is perfect for your intent and I start to better understand the nature of metals, and tendencies of their properties. Thank you

This helped me understand temper and hardening so much more than others I've watched. Love your videos.

Thank you, it gives me a good understanding.

Thank you for the information. I knew some of this but didn't know all about how to tell me when it was the right temp. I am saving this to watch later.

Thank you Roy for sharing. Great video. And you answers some question I was searching answers for. Thank you and God bless.

Hello Dear. Thank you for such a wonderful information gathered in this short video for NON-TECHNICAL people like me. I have watched this video twice by stopping and understanding. Very informative. CHEERS and THANKS.

Hey, I'm a welding student, but I'm making a chisel in class tomorrow for our metallurgy unit. This was super helpful and informative! The directions my instructor gave out were very confusing, much easier with visuals :)

Great job in explaining the heat treating process. That's something i never fully understood.

Complete learning. Thank you ❤

Very well done. Learned a lot!!!! Your patience appreciated!!!

Fan-tastic! Thank you 🙏. (an amateur horn player here, I got to bend the one inch thin brass tubing to replace dent slide, the horn is old can't fine the slide on ebay, so I bought torch, butane, tubing, and I am going to anneal let cool at the bench, then fill with water, ice it down and bent... then if that works, I will heat again and cool in oil to make it resonant! It is a project, but I am about to do anyways,..)

I like the way you teach its simple and detailed thanks a lot sir

Very thorough. Thank you

Thanks I always wondered how to harden steel chisels. appreciate your demo and explanation

Actually this is a rare video which clearly shows the color change on the tempering stage and the importance of gradual temperature increase. Well done. Great camera work.

Realy good job ty for teaching us more. And its awsome that ur wife helps u. God bless.👍

Great video , best I have seen on hardening tools . Thank you

Very Practical approach. Concise. Technically correct.

Thank you, I liked the video from the start - seeing your name and logo. It is obvious that you know what you are doing.

Very enjoyable and informative, especially for us beginners.

Nice work, thanks for taking the time to show the colours and your technical advise, great video.

That was very comprehensive information about forging. video format is excellent . Give us more videos on forging knives using coils spring. I might train myself using my back yard old coils spring

FANTASTIC!!! So helpful. So thorough. So clear. Superb!

Excellent presentation, I welcome more demonstration like this, thanks for your great demonstration

Fantastic videography! and fantastic information. even with everyone out there putting up smithing videos, yours has been the most informative, without any of the extra superfluous information to chew your way through. And the channel name was a big draw!

Awesome video. Very helpful and well explained. Thanx a million. Great close-ups and no disturbing noise and good camera work.

Absolutely satisfying

lol, was waiting for the striking to begin, just to see the hardness of the tool. awesome video !!

Extremely informative. Thank you.
