    First time viewer here, Awesome video, patient and thoughtful explanations about your process, farm and garden tools were what initially inspired me to begin my journey into blacksmithing, If ya don't mind sharing, you mention tool steel, have you found you like any particular tool steel/high carbon formulation? I love the hexagonal stock btw it seems like it would provide some additional rigidity especially if you were to use it on any long handled tools

    Clara, really glad you're making more videos. Loved seeing Delilah and your Dad! It was neat seeing the combination of power hammering and hand work. I was surprised at how Ned made the power hammer operate so delicately. We have one of Ned's weeders and love it.

    Hi Clara! I'm so happy that you've started this channel with your dad! I've missed your tutorials on OFS; they are definitely the best of all of the YT sewing tutorials I've watched and followed. I've learned so much from you! (I made 6 large panels of roman shades, with no prior experience, by watching your instructions). So... I am so excited to have found you here, starting a new chapter. I also appreciate the fact that you and your dad will be preserving and passing on such beautiful and practical skills to the next generations. We all will benefit from working more with our hands, being intrinsically motivated and rewarded by the process of learning and a job well-done. Best of success to you both!! 🤩😍❤

    • @FamilyForge
      @FamilyForge 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks so much! Wow, I'm impressed with the 6 roman shades, they're a lot of work! While sewing and blacksmithing are very different, I love anything that involves making things with my hands. Glad you found me and love that there's some crossover between the channels!

      Yeah...we totally forgot about the safety glasses with all the other things to think about with filming our first video, but we'll do a better job in the future. Or at least I will, my dad was never great about it. I agree they're important though!

    Thanks for this. I just started blacksmithing a few weeks ago. What looked so easy in videos and TV, turned out to be much more challenging than anticipated, but it’s a lot of fun, too. So far, I’ve only made tongs…which are required before making actual things. This will be a great first project!

    • @Uncephalized
      @Uncephalized 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Tongs are fantastic practice and involve almost all of the basic skills. Keep it up!

      @FamilyForge 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks, I'm just getting back to it now. I hope you've been continuing blacksmithing! The experts definitely make it look way easier than it is! Making tongs is a great place to start.

With open eyes you will quickly see that there will be no end to discovering new things, trying things out and learning things to find out what you want to create and to develop your own style.
