My brother asked me if I would forge him a little poop scoop for his backyard to hang from one of your ball end hooks that I made a while ago. After getting the little shovel together it really needed something to spice up the handle. This will be just the ticket! Thanks again, John.
Yes I am watching and yes you did answer my question. Thanks John for your quick response and keep up your good work and projects, really enjoy them. Thumbs up on how you take time to explain what you are doing also!
I'm glad you have started doing more videos. It seems like every blacksmith has a little different "twist" on things. You have given me some great ideas. Thanks!
Always glad to come across one of your older videos when I'm about to try something new. Looking to make some "icicles" with a reverse twist, and this tutorial is exactly what I needed!
Just saw this video. Thanks John. I've been doing two twists on dinner bells. I've called them opposing twists. As always, I enjoyed your video. Again, thanks!
Thank you John. The reverse twist is pretty nice but the most important thing I got out of that video was the gas shut off valve! I immediately backed it up and looked again 'what was that!?'. I've been shutting mine off or trying to lay it facing something non-flammable while working. I had one ordered off ebay within 30 seconds of seeing yours. It just came in today and will be fully functional by tomorrow. That one item is a big deal to me. THANKS!!
Nice video. I love the economiser on the oxy acetylene torch. I’ve used one myself and had forgotten all about it till I see yours. Great idea if you can put up with the stink of acetylene burning neat. Thanks
I watched the video, as I am interested in making twists in my jewellery, which as you would know is considerably smaller material, 3 mm!! I was thinking that with the twisting action it would work harden the metal, so I might get the reversing twist as well as cooling the metal. Thank you from Tasmania Australia cheers!
Black bear forge, exelentes tus vídeos, mi nombre es Walter, y recién me estoy iniciando el mundo de la herreria y la forja, y realmente tus vídeos me ayudan mucho, te mando un abrazo en la distancia, soy de Bs.As. Argentina. 👌 👍
Thank you John! That was a great video. I will use those instructions next Monday night when Im attending classes with my local master blacksmith. If you dont mind that is 👍
Wizard: wiz•ard noun: a man who has magical powers, especially in legends and Black Bear Forge. Did my first reverse twist today on a forge poker! I dressed it up by brushing it with a brass brush!! Wish i could share a picture with ya, appreciate your tutorials!!!
Would it be possible for u to do a video on how u did the double loop on ur marking tool?( without welding and such small amount of steel). I know im getn up to welding heat its just i cant keep the loops properly formed on the 2nd loop. Thanks again for ur awesome channel.
That is a gargoyle hand puppet my wife gave me a few years ago. I have it in various places in several videos just to see if anyone is paying attention, you are the first to mention it.
It's that time of year; I came back to refresh my memory.
That reverse sure adds a nice detail!
Thanks again John , I learned a new technique..

Just saw this video. Thanks John. I've been doing two twists on dinner bells. I've called them opposing twists. As always, I enjoyed your video. Again, thanks!
Really nice. You get yours so evenly spaced, that is what really makes it look outstanding.
Wow I just love pokey things.......and this fits the bill perfectly. Thanks for the lesson John. Added to my bucket list.

I am glad it was helpful, and glad people are paying enough attention to spot some of these other things.

This is a very nice adaptation to regular twist

You may share pictures in the FaceBook group or on instagram and just tag me in the comment
thanks
I was told that you can use a wood hammer when working with twists, when the project is hot
I would like to see you forge a spoon bit drill.
I have made a few in the past. I will add it to my list of video ideas.
John Switzer I will look forward to it.
Thanks...

I'll have to go back and watch the video to see which tool that is.
tell me more about your little visitor sitting on your vice at the start of the clip!
