Ethan, I am so happy to see you making another batch of those cool pins. You make it look so easy; I know it isn't. Have a blessed weekend.
Thanks! I appreciate that- just like a musician making an instrument appear easy, no one knows the full investment but the man himself. :) And you too!
That's so cool
Thank you! They work super well, I'm quite happy with them. :)
Hanging potted plants and bird feeders 🙂
Probably also hang my tools... 😅👀
Those would be great for hanging pots, pans, and lids. Those look great!
I have never kept anything for myself. I figured that despite living alone with two 8 year old rescued pups, it's about time they pitched in and got their "dad" a Father's Day gift. Unfortunately, I'm the one paying. Ethan, thanks a million for your video reminder. Blessings to you and your family 🙏🏻✝️💪
Never kept anything?! Woah dude 😮. Quite generous! And yeah its about time they pulled thier weight 😆 Happy Father's Day! Thanks and blessings to you as well, Chuck!
@@BlazingEmberForge Happy Father's Day to you as well.
Awesome! I would have never thought to use the steak flipper on the kabob spears. 💪 Another great video. Thanks, Ethan, and pray that you and your family have a blessed weekend. 🙏🏻✝️
Thank you, you too! 😁
😲 Wow, I mean WOW 🎉! and... Steak Flipper humor to boot! 😂
😂😂💁♂️ I love my work.
How does one use a steak flipper I’ve never heard of it before
It's super simple! If you've got 30 second, here's another video where I use it towards the end. But it's really just a twist of the wrist. Super versatile, I'm actually using mine as we speak to turn my skewers. (Which I also make) 😁 kzread.infofgbDutk9Fak?si=zj_4iAcrNO9AnvKb
Meat doneness seems the most interchangeable to me! I love these videos my dad sent them to me and he also got me the humming bird plant stakes for mothers day and I LOVE THEM! the details are incredible! Your art is amazing!
Well thank you and thank you! Enjoy! :)
Jaci, your dad seems like a pretty good guy with excellent taste. Am willing to bet he loves you so very much and is grateful for your support and encouragement. Have a Blessed day and keep forging into the light. 🙏🏻❤️🌹
Definitely loved those pins. I would vote for how well the meat was done. Just seems universal to me. Happy to see more short videos. Am always trying to spread your artistic skills. Signed up for your "infrequent flyer." Blessings 🙏🏻✝️
How well the steak is done.
Let me know! Initials, how well the steak is done, or your own branding? Or a mix? Leave a shout below! 🗣👇🏼
Ethan, those new pins are beautiful. Really like the way everyone looks like it's factory made, but because of your skills, you make each one. Love watching your videos. Have a Blessed rest of the week. ✝️
Thank you, you too! 😁🙏🏼
Ethan, again, I am so happy for you! Posting more videos will definitely change your KZread algorithm and get more of your videos out on feeds for others who are just scrolling. That's exactly how I found you to begin with; right after scrolling. Blessings to you and your family. 🙏🏻✝️❤️
Well, congrats to the young couple 🎉! Pretty slick ad production too 👍!
Thank you! I'm trying 😂
Ethan, am thrilled you picked up so many views and so much interest for your hummingbird potted plant stakes. Congratulations and hope your channel explodes with new subs. Blessings to you and your family 🙏🏻✝️
Sure enjoyed getting to see you work the scrolls for the hummingbird plant stakes. Awesome work, your artistry is really shining through!
Thank you!
Ethan, I didn’t realize how thin that metal was where you made the scrolls. Your artistic skills are really shining through. I am extremely happy that you are posting more videos and glad you sold out in one day. But, not as happy as I am that I was able to get two ordered. Hopefully, the algorithms will change quickly to get your videos out to more people scrolling through KZread. Have a Blessed weekend! 🙏🏻
Thank you so much! I'm quite happy to be making something so small and scrolly. 😁 And glad you were able to get a couple! There are a lot of disappointed people 😅🤣
What song name?
It's built into my video editor, Splice, and is titled Letter to A Friend
Can we buy those?
Yes, except I sold out in one day! Sorry! I will make another batch after a while, and you are welcome to sign up on the waitlist here👉🏼 www.blazingemberforge.com/store/p/hummingbirdstake
Ethan, ordered 2 earlier. Wonderful to watch them being made. Blessings, my friend, you are so talented.
Thank you so much!! Many blessings to you as well, brother!
That’s awesome brother
Thank you!
Looks fantastic. You need to put more videos out. Love to watch what you come up with.
Thank you! I'm working on it. 😅 Unfortunately, all my private commissions take so long that it's hard to keep the footage or story all in order. But I've got one in the works. :)
@BlazingEmberForge Wonderful and thank you. Have a Blessed Sunday.
Those forks are awesome. Beautiful work and many Blessings to you.
Nice work! What size starting stock is that?
Nice work friend.
What happened to your insta???
As in why dont I post much? Well I dropped off in the Christmas rush, when I was working 80 hours a week with a cold, and just didn't have time. Then, about the same time, I realized that the type of content I was making was not reaching or appealing to my target audience, so I decided to regroup. However, time is still a factor that gets between me and the type of content I would like to make, as it's certainly quite busy here still. So for now I have a pretty low profile, and that's okay.
Great delicate work! May I ask what type of bandsaw are you using (the one with the Starrett blade) to cut stock? Yours seems very simple and efficient.
Thank you. It's a no-name 1952 power hacksaw. 👌 Modern bandsaws, probably even small ones, are definitely more accurate and faster.
I wish I could have that much fun high af
My dad needed one for bending large gauge wire into cans when doing generator installs/ repairs. So I made him 2 handles out of 9/16 4150 round. A shorter one and longer one. And I threaded one end. Next I made 4 fork ends to accommodate different gauge wires, and drilled and tapped them so he could just interchange them. I gave them to him, they were perfect for use. He used them for a few months, then he found an adjustable one commercially made for $23 at the place he buys conduit from. He uses it now because it takes up less room in his tool box. Understandable, but I really don’t care for working for free or gifting people anything anymore now lol.
Feel your pain.
Taking care of the customer after the sale. Nice.
Yes sir! I'm in it for the long haul with folks. Additionally, for my own OCD's sake, I just hate not having a great answer for people wondering what to do 😅🤣
I'm assuming the mineral oil is food grade?
Definitely. Not all mineral oil is, but this stuff is certainly foodsafe, especially in such miniscule quantities. Thanks for asking!
What if the steak is too tender??
Good question! You mean wouldn't it tear out? I have successfully flipped ground beef patties with one of these, so I wouldn't worry too much. If nothing else, I've even hooked from the bottom and lifted up and over, and it works as well as going from the top but with less risk of damaging the meat, or tearing out. They're a very versatile tool. 😄🙌
Best skewers I've ever used.
Nice ,, advertising is you friend , find the right place,, and they will sell,,,👍
Thank you! That's about the last skill I have to learn, though it should have been the first haha!
@@BlazingEmberForge I know a few black Smith's,, all just for fun type, make stuff friends and family can use,,, 👍 but yeah it's all about the confidence,, just do it,, and they look nice, pretty consistent in the pile at the end,,,, but idk where you live but there are places sell hi end back yard bbq stuff,, and that would be one place I'd go to to sell them,,, stainless, hand made, good consistent quality, some folks now days still have $$, and some rich folks are into hand made stuff,,, it's only an idea if a place to go look to see if you can make some$ idk I'm also a bit of a hippy sorta,,, many of my friends make all kinda stuff for fun,, but it take folks like you for us to go find the cool things I just gota have 😎😎💪
I think I may try this jig. Seems more consistent than a single. I just gotta figure out how to make tapers faster.
Love the way you've created your jigs to make your creations faster to crank out. You're like a one man factory. Excellent way of working smarter instead of harder. 👍🏼
As I have family members who are Welder's; I know that what you do is a profession of love, skills & consistency. Great to see Ancient skills surviving in this modern world!
Thank you for the encouragement! :)
What a beautiful collection ready for flipping steaks on a hot grill. Wishing you and your family a fantastic New Year!
The grip you made on the video is awesome!
Thank you!
Get em while they're hot 😉
Enjoying your videos, mahalo 🤙🏽⚒🔥
Thanks!
What is the use if this tool for? I love the craftmenshift and look but im confused on what its for.
It's called a steak flipper. :) You use it to turn all kinds of meat on the grill. Makes a great gift for us guys who like meat + tools! Happy Thanksgiving!
Absolutely beautiful. Your artistic talent is incredible. Thanks for posting.
Love your grill accessories. Better than what I could ever find in a specialty shop. Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Those are fucking amazing!!!! As a chef, the utility of these is crazy but the aesthetics are just 🤌🤌
Thank you! I appreciate that.
