Hey my name's Oscar Duck, I'm a young blacksmith from the north of England. On my channel you'll find a few videos of what I make, I hope you can understand what I do as a blacksmith and maybe you'll even learn something!

    Now you need to make some dragon wall bracket holders, I saw some nice ones in Italy last year. So I’m hoping to make some iron torches and brackets for my future shed, still in process of dropping trees so they don’t uproot and squish me . Plus I need more wood for shed/ log cabin. Nice job dude !

    I like the "made from one bar" approach, it's a puzzle of how to make, which is satisfying to solve. I find that each iteration gets you just a little more proficient, with a deeper understanding of the form. Did you ever make more shells? I can see the next iteration having the widened mouth area being more dished, but it's a tough thing to do... Maybe it means a thicker bar to start, or an upset end? Maybe it's a tapered spiral mandrel that you can slide onto the handle, and form the flattened segment over, then twist the mandrel away before making the tool end.

    "...an actual floor". You lucky bugger, you youngsters don't know you're born. When I were a lad, we didn't have no lardi-da floors, no, we had to hover in our hob-nailed socks. Couldn't afford boots. Bet you've got boots as well. I used to work 26 hours a day down t'pit then walk 30 miles home just to get my head down on my pillow for 15 minutes before walking 30 miles back for another 26 hour shift. When I say pillow, it were the brick that me da used to throw at my head for being a lazy, soft b'stard. To be fair, he had it hard. He used to walk 40 miles for his 30 hour shift with only 10 minutes sleep. And he had no brick for a pillow. Didn't have no socks or boots either. Still wore the hob-nails on his feet. So, fair enough.😩 Happy Days!😥 😂Re the vid and how the cooling works, if your tuyere/tue-iron (I'm with you on this 🤔) is the same as my Alldays & Onions side-blast, you'll notice that the outer piece is a (truncated) cone. Therefore, as the end nearer the fire heats up, the water at the narrow end becomes less dense, start to travel sideways AND up the cone towards the tank and is replaced with colder water rising up along the lower side of the cone to replace the water that is being heated. Love your vids btw. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

    When you talk about 'damascus', you should be calling it 'pattern welded'. Genuine damascus was first made from a crucible steel of specific composition and invented about 2,500 years ago, possibly in asian subcontinent. The characteristic banding was created by repeated heat treatments, not by welding together different steels. The technology was lost a couple of hundred years ago due to European competition, but is gradually being rediscovered.
