    It is nice to know that even early on you were a proponent of acknowledging your mistakes to your audience and learning by trial and error.

    I’m so happy for your channel’s success! I have to say I miss your non weapon builds though: works of art!

    Absolute BEST part of his video... 2:13... THANK YOU. As someone just getting started and having burned off several pieces over the last year, it is SOOOO good to see someone with your skill actually make that mistake now and then. It gives the rest of us hope :)

    I like how you showed you burned up your first one. How easy it is to completely ruin a delicate project turn your back for 10 seconds to late. At least im not the only one that makes mistakes. Its the best way to learn trial error. and dont give up learn progress! thanx 4 the vid good inspiration ill b watching!

    Great work. Neat to see something delicate by a guy that usually does large pieces of metal.

    Unbelievable this video only has 24 comments as of now. Uploaded 2013... You have come very far since then. It makes me feel sad, all this work, and at the time, hardly anybody appreciated it. I started watching shortly before you finished the big hammer order and moved out of your old shop. It’s amazing the following you have now and where your very hard work and dedication have brought you. Bless your hands that you continue to prosper.

    I'm confused why people have yet come back to appreciate and comment on these videos a little more, 7 years is a long time ago and there so many more years to come.. a true team now

      Thank you for sharing these sirSir. I'm going to try this tomorrow. 1st granddaughter was born at Christmas, Lily Anne.
      So the lily will be the motif for the diaper rack I'm going to start tomorrow.
      Thank you for being such a huge inspiration to me!

    I exclusively use a hand-turned blower so if I am not standing right there at my forge the work is not taking any significant heat. I too am terrible at multitasking.
