I don’t k know how I never found your page before. But you got a follow out of me. All off that beautiful handle work. I am working on my own, and you make it seem effortless with that sander.

what a man.

I wish you the best man, pursuing your passion is a real thing only the brave dare to do!

Is 14 years old too young to forge? Opinion?

Oh, So that's how barney restored Gordons crowbar.

So, how do you overcome the fear that other's in the neighborhood might get annoyed with the banging? :)

Brother, You're a G.

I’m trying to make it with rebar and I am no professional this is my third project and I want to use no power tool and want it to be like how people did it way back in the day and it is a lot harder than it looks and it taking me so long to finish it!!!

Getting my own place soon and definitely wanna get into smithing. Doesn’t have a garage but it has a decent sized shed. Once I’m all settled im definitely gonna look into building a shop in there

I just found your channel as I stated a search for, well, anvils. I'm glad to stop on your video, not only for the knowledge you gave, but the fact that you're not broke neck starting at a phone. I'm a 40y/o disabled veteran looking for something tangible to do for productivity, therapy, and just plain fun. You've got yourself another sub. Maybe one day I'll start up my own channel or business and join this community of smithing. There's just something about needing something and making it yourself that speaks to me. I look forward to seeing more and will check out what you have already. Keep doing what you're doing. You don't have to get to 40 before figuring out what you want to do. Take care, man.

I live in an apartment and as such its hard to get a big burly anvil and start hammering.i also checked for internships but they are very few in number and the internships are frowned upon in KSA and im an expat.any suggestions?

😂 I'm 62 years old and the very first video I watch, about something I've always wanted to learn, is done by a bright young man that is 17! Great video young man! Thank you for sharing and for the introduction. Wish me luck! I'll continue to watch and learn (I learn the way you do). 👍

This is gonna help out a lot. Great video.

hay bro strted forging cuz of u would like to see more vids

To get better at any trade is to learn from experienced people in the trade. Not kids making content with very little experience.

Very good

Really like this channel! New sub.

Actually really concise, clear and most importantly has the good energy! Might try and set something up 👀

its the noise for me that's the problem I have! only reason i havnt started yet because ppl would go crazy at me lol

seems like this is impossible for me because i live in a apartment building

online store. Let us buy some hatchets

i would never in a million years think that 0:08 could turn into 6:23 - what an amazing project and beautiful looking knife!

Hello! I have two tips for you. Tip no. 1: When your steel is hot, don't talk, because by the time you get to forging, your material will be cold. Tip no. 2: You can do the hardening and tempering from a hot one. You simply draw as much as you actually want to temper, and the heat will migrate from the part of the material that is still warm to the segment of material you are tempering.

Can't I get an ol' fashioned sharpening stone? Like those where you use your foot to make it spin

Great video, just subbed

Question about making the shape of your tongs round or square. Is it easier or possible too heat up the tips of the tong then hold the material you want too shape it to, then hammer it? Like holding round stock so it makes a better rounded shape

Maybe don't make an instructional video when you clearly know nothing about the subject matter - i.e. "tempering rebar".

Good job

Rise and shine, Mister Freeman. Rise and... shine. Not that I... wish to imply you have been sleeping on the job. No one is more deserving of a rest... and all the effort in the world would have gone to waste until... well, let's just say your hour has... come again. The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world. So, wake up, Mister Freeman. Wake up and... smell the ashes...

1. 2:32 NOOOO, to change belts you should notice that the rear idler wheel is spring loaded. You can even see the slot in the video. Pull the external stuff forward with your right hand while you manipulate the belt on/off with your left. It should never be difficult to get a belt on or off. If the rear wheel can't slide forward, loosen the nut inside the housing. 2. The adhesive will give out on old belts and you'll have to replace them. 3. There's some dispute about using "hand protection" on any power tool (I assume you mean gloves) because gloves can get caught in the tool and drag you hand (and arm, depending on the tool) into the danger zone. AND, I don't see you wearing gloves while grinding the little sledge head, or the handle, or the knife, or the little bit of wood late in the video. 4. Dust? Hella dust, but I don't see you wearing any respiratory protection. 5. How 'bout some eye protection? 6. Use the platen, you paid for it and it will give you MUCH better control over the work. Summary: informative vid presented by someone who doesn't practice what he preaches. Maybe too young to have slipped and lost some skin.... or a finger.... yet.

Hey man! Haven't seen anything for awhile, and I want to see more!

Very informative and to the point. Well done!

"I know it looks like a mess, but it makes sense in my mind", every man ever on planet earth lmao. Great video man, I'm 21 and looking to start myself.

Thank you.

Cool video, thank you.

Subscribed. If you can do that from the age of fourteen, I can make a start too. I'm only 61 so why the hell not? This video is an inspiration.

A 17 year old forging in his backyard? I've seen stranger things...

Thank you.

Cool 😎😎😎😎.

Thanks! excellent info, great vid, i'm glad to see this kind of content, thank you very much and keep up the good work!

Good video young man!

hey man, love your work! i was curious if you made those bolt-jaw tongs specifically for this project, or if they were ones you already had around?

i’m in the process of making my new working space and these are definitely tools i’ll try to make next time i get my forge running!

Yo I was looking for a review and this was a 10/10 video strait forward, no bullcrap, and relatable your so cool and helpful you’ve EARNED my subscription thank you so much great video ❤

Great job!

Im 40, been collecting knives for years and now wanting to get into making my own. That said.. Can’t wait for the day I tell people I learned from a 17 yr old kid off TH-cam! 🫡💯
