- I have nothing against the much maligned dandelion, but have a serious vendetta against thistles and mullen. Today we look at forging a blacksmiths weed whaker to take care of these noxious weeds
Black Bear Forge is a small one person blacksmith shop located in southern Colorado. My current focus is shifting away from commissions and customer orders and towards education through these videos on TH-cam. Thank you for watching

'Mattock' is the tool you are after, albeit a lighter one.
Me and my eight-year-old son look forward to watching your videos an awesome job done on the yard tool John you are one of the greatest blacksmiths out there in the best teacher thank you for sharing this video with all of us
PBS needs to take your show on.
Been around for about a month and my main interest was the blacksmithing content. Now I get to feel more and more of your personality and I am definitely enjoying it. You know sometimes, people have high valued and comprehensive knowledge but when you get into what I consider has "personality" and "opinions", then it doesn't quite match your values and stuff and the interest kinda goes away... that is not what I am encountering with BBF!
As a gardener and homesteader, I've got to tell you, this tool is sheer genius. Basically a mattock for all those small jobs that don't require a big heavy tool.
What is the saying? Necessity is the mother of inventions. Or something like that.
That was a cool video John, yup bending over in an awkward position is for the birds to say the least.
Good morning John, that’s an awesome weed and snake charmer. Really enjoyed watching you turn that flat material into the yard tool. You did a great job 👍👍. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.
You are as entertaining as you are informative.
Nice project. Would be a nice walking / exploring tool.
You are the bob ross of blacksmithing. Happy little heats.
Just put up the last stud wall on my own forge. Gonna start putting up shiplap this afternoon. And I got four big bags of coal so that I can start working again soon!
Nice video as always John. Thanks for the hint on the heat treat app... I downloaded that quick smart...
John, another GREAT video. I'm going to scrounge thru my leaf spring pile and try to make one of these. Just bought 2 shirts from Etsy. 1 for me and 1 for my wife. My wife says you need some female colors for the shirts. I like CHARCOAL just fine. We can't wait until the shirts arrive. THANKS.
That's a little beauty mate.
mini Pulaski. a have an axe I use for weeding, I call it a grubber. I like the idea of the mattock end. thanks for sharing
It always amazes me what a blacksmith can do with metal.
