Thanks Bronson. I totally second guessed myself if I should share a video like that, since I don't have much in the way of skill. I'm glad you enjoyed it though. ~Jessica

I really want to see more of this great lady blacksmith doing her stuff!

I am working on a video ☺️ you will probably see it out in about a week -Jessica

I lost it as the pointer finger rod! Clever way to show off your skills as a blacksmith after the fact as well as during any ongoing project while not burning your actual fingers.

Trust pointer finger Roy made cracks me up. Lol it both funny and cool....

Great video and very relevant as my daughter has celtic blood in her and turning 11 this summer. I think this could be the perfect next project! Also, that pointer hand is EPIC and I must make one! HAHAHAH. CCI will always get credit for it too!

Nice work Jess. This is the teaching beginners like me appreciate.

Jessica , I Believe that you did a Very Good Job on that double reverse Twist ! Keep up the great work ! KEEP HAMMERING !

Good job Jess, looks great! I've been straightening my twists on a wood block so I don't smash the detail. I like how you point out your mistake and explain what happened, that really helps. Thanks, great video! Can't wait to show my daughter this one😊

I appreciate the fact you don't make everything look super easy. i feel like most channels they "flex" their skills which can cause anxiety in learners. I feel like beginners are great at teaching because they aren't afraid of making mistakes. KEEP IT UP!!

Great job Jessica. A true blacksmith!!

I watch every day I find Roy's work and expertise quite amazing and you make a great team. I'm 66 years of age and getting set up to start decorative blacksmithing as one of my hobbies, done very little in the past mostly simple brackets and stuff but I did get to the point where I could manage to shape and get a shoe on my horse after a farrier taught me. I guess first thing I will have to make is a bunch of tools although I do have a superb anvil and gas forge already. I'm excited to watch my CD plans dvd that I recently purchased. Thanks to you both for sharing such trade secrets. Toby

im not a blacksmit so i wont try to give advice on that i have how ever slung a few wrenches around in my day pick your twist point before you heat and set the wrench to size first will make it lots easier to make the twists

Great job and from a Celt these are called torques

Why did you use a torch for the twists instead of the fire? I’ve only been smithing for six months, but we only ever use the fire for twists.

What is your goto hammer type and size I’m a 3 1/2 pound cross Pein

Good job

Totally agree you need your own slot from time to time. Hope you enjoyed the switch around as much as I did! Thanks Sis Anthony Kent

i think whats happening is the metal is cooling and shrinking which is why your wrench was slipping off. It fits when its hot and expanded but when it cools and the metal shrinks. I have seen ppl modify small pipe wrenches for twisting metal though.

Very nice! You need to have hammer in hand more often... :-) Thanks for the video...
