Blacksmithing Forging a Penannular Brooch from 6mm or 1/4inch round bar. forging points, scrolling, bending, and waxing. simple easy process and sell really well. Enjoy!
I have just started out as a hobby blacksmith and this showed me it’s not all about hitting the steel hard with a big hammer, the finesse you used is a true inspiration to me. Thank you. You now have a new subscriber.
I have seen that done, i was going to do it from square but thought id give it a go in round first, does the pin move well enough on a twist? i suppose it would add a bit of friction to help it stay in place. If only the blower wasnt as loud it would be perfect asmr!
@@workingwithiron There is a little bit of friction, but the pin moves without a problem. I would love to see your video on this type of brooch. The blower was not loud, at least for me. I got used to it by now. :D
Very smooth work and thank you. I am new to blacksmithing, and watching you work has slowed me down and let me work with greater precision. I was just beating everything to death. I am sort of a vicarious apprentice. Thanks again Nathan
No. Thank You, you have just made it worth my time. thats the thing, Its not all about beating it to death as i see a lot of other smiths do, there is a time and place for that but not constantly. i want to do a few vids on general techniques and tips that i see nobody talking about in this craft but it is how i keep my work the way it is. I think it would help a lot of folk out.
@@workingwithiron That would be a major help to us rookies, and very much appreciated. I have learned a great deal with your barbecue fork video. Must have watched five times now. A lot of detail and precision, very nice work and you teach well. Glad I found your site. Thanks Nathan
Everything is heat defined with bends. I did this a bit cold but i knew how it would act so i could work with it. one tip is, get the taper as graceful and smooth as you possibly can before even bending up. Im gonna add this to the list of explanation videos as i cannot type it, i have to show it as my vocabulary is nowhere near good enough to explain what i do in text.
What a lite touch on the tiny scrol work... Absolutely beautiful craftsmen ship. Your attention to detail goes above and beyond... Never worry about how long or short the videos are, just keep them coming... Looking forward to what is coming in 2021. Thank you Nathan. Warmest Regards.
I gave this a go tonight. Well i have to say well chuffed with the outcome. Bit of practice and i know i can knock it out in less heats. Nonetheless, very happy with the outcome, thank you op for the encouragement. Great project.
Thank you! I really wish i could do youtube full time but its not paying out enough yet unfortunately. practice is all it is, anyone could do this if they put the time in to it! Let me know how you get on!
You are very welcome Nathan. Without question, one of the best smiths on the tube. No theatre or dramatics just straight talking no nonsense top quality content. Kind of stuff I thrive off. A great source of learning. Thank you very much man, keep up the great work.
Thanks For tuning in! Hope everyone is enjoying this format, This one is a little bit shorter this time so let me know what you think, thumbs up if you like, thumbs down if you don't. have you ever made one yourself? is this something you sale?
Nice work Nathan again! I have forged these cold in silver , great hammer and tongs control! I like your Grove or Fuller?? On your pin top . Makes it easier to shape and stops the edges from splaying up ?
Well done! Nice design and beautifully executed. A demonstration of great hammer control resulting in a fine piece of work. Thank you for sharing it with us.
A pair of needle nose pinchers would be perfect for @4:19. They look pretty much like the ones you're using with one key difference, the tips are bent inwards by a smidge. Excellent for forming fence ornaments, i found.
Lovely work. Always good to see how others make things (I've made a few of these of various designs myself, in fact it's the only thing I've made a video of).
You all probably dont give a shit but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost my login password. I love any assistance you can give me.
@Kase Draven i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Brilliant forging my friend! Well demonstrated as well. I've been thinking of making some of these myself. Is that a beeswax finish? I use linseed oil for tools, but I'm looking for something a little "cleaner" for personal items such as this.
Thanks Nick! It is a wax finish, a company called Briwax, or you could get some renaissance wax, its a hard durable finish and a lot cleaner than Oil. Just put on at a black heat, leave it for a day then buff with a cloth, works a treat!
The wax creates a protective layer to prevent rusting. Applying hot soaks the wax in a lot deeper as the surface is quite porous so helps it get in all the nooks and crannies. Hope that helps 👍
The spike goes through the blanket, it only works with loosely woven materials to not create a hole permanantly, then the brooch is spun and locks itself in. i have no blanket so couldnt show it on film unfortunately

I forged yesterday one of these, from a square bar (8mm thick) with twists in it. Nice job, clean. I got tingles during this video. Blacsmith asmr.

could you estimate how much your entire forge set up cost?
You always forge ,clean an precise ,quite relaxing to watch.
Thank you Rob, Its just process, get each step done right and it all comes together at the end.
Perfect. This'll be my next project

Brooch look beautiful. Clean forging process i enjoyed the video.
Thank you Very much!
Picked up a few tricks from this! Love the way you sized the pin! Clean economic forging at its best.
Thank You Dave, Im glad i can help!
Your forgings are making me a better smith in many ways.
great video step by step information
That was pretty cool! You def get more of an appreciation of how these are made.
Awesome, I’ve been really needing to practice making my curls tighter, I’ll have to give this a go! Great video as always!

Amazing talent, wish you could make more content. It’s mesmerizing to watch how easy you make it look. I’ll be at my forge tomorrow, trying this out!

I love this. More project ideas please!
Simplistic and beautiful, turned out lovely dude

This is an awesome "make" I watched and watched and thought to myself "I can do that"
You have inspired me to try. Thanks
⚒️🔥 ffffforge on Nathan.😊

@Kase Draven it worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my account :D
@Clayton Michael you are welcome :D
Looks like it would be good for a wool blanket to be used as a warm cloak over the shoulders. Only that it would create holes.
Yes! Exactly that! It does create holes but in loosely woven fabric it closes up easily enough.
Muchas gracias, gran calidad!!!!
Nice forging ⚒️👍⚒️
Great video, Nathan. Were the chalk markings for you or for us viewers?
That's an interesting video, thank you for showing us.

@@workingwithiron thanks Nathan! I'll be trying it out!
Покажите пожалуйста фото этой броши уже на одежде? Любопытно, как выглядит.
love it
Genial!! Thank you.
Could you relate what weight and maybe brand of hammer that you use. The one that seems most prevalent in your videos. Thanks!
Why use the fuller on the pin connection ring?
It helps with the bending as it wont convex or concave which saves trying to correct the loop when its wrapped around. and adds decoration.
I'm not a smith myself, what is the wax for? Is it for durability?
The wax creates a protective layer to prevent rusting. Applying hot soaks the wax in a lot deeper as the surface is quite porous so helps it get in all the nooks and crannies. Hope that helps 👍
Ĺadnie Ci gra to kowadło...pozazdroscić
Exactly what are these for?
May I ask what kind of wax you' re using?
at 8:18 there is a tin of it on the anvil. its called BRIWAX. easily accessible for everyone. hope this helps!
@@workingwithiron Yes it does! Thank you for the quick answer!
What is this use reply
I have absolutely no idea how those things work. I assume you're not stabbing a hole in the blanket with the spike, but I can't see past that.
The spike goes through the blanket, it only works with loosely woven materials to not create a hole permanantly, then the brooch is spun and locks itself in. i have no blanket so couldnt show it on film unfortunately
@@workingwithiron makes sense - all those knitted and crocheted blankets my grandmother made would be perfect for one of those!
Where do you sell your pins at? I would like to get one.
I don't sale them as this is the first I've made. Will make a few up and link you with Etsy when I've listed some.
Thank you
Nothing used ?
Whats the stuff he puts on at the end?
Briwax. It's a type of wax.
@@workingwithiron prevents the metal from oxidation?
Кто-нибудь в курсе что это такое ?🤷
быку в ноздри вставлять , вроде.но это не точно
И для чего оно?:)
Долго делал
просто много молотком работал. По идее, круглогубцами это всё гнётся с одного нагрева, плюс потом обстучать немного и готово.
Что это ???
"Thanks" not "thank's". What's with all this missuse of apostrophes lately?
Should be putting your free time into pubg not happy Nathan!
haha I do tech, But have to create the content dude, you know how it is!
@@workingwithiron excuses
Очередная безполезная хрень! З
