..#1- everything in the shop can hurt you. #2- check all tools before using and service if necessary. #3- just because it's black doesn't mean it isn't hot. #4- a few minutes of preparation before the project can save you hours in the emergency room. Great series...!

That is a great TLDR. It's an inherently dangerous activity and needs to be treated with respect.

Forge on. God bless.

Great Video ! I can attest to the dangers of mushroom head chisels . 40 years ago ,at work a piece burst off of the chisel that I was hammering. I still have that chunk of shrapnel in my wrist ,as they deemed it more dangerous to remove than to take it out.

That sounds like a harrowing experience. I'm glad it wasn't more serious.

I have had a head fly off at a demonstration. Lucky dude caught it! #embarassed.

I'm glad no one was hurt. That would be pretty scary. Did it seem loose before it flew off?
