Thanks for sharing this primer! I've stopped using flux when forge welding mild steel, due in no small part to your demonstrations, the ring you did in this video being a case in point.
Awesome. I'll try my best to have my next forging session to look like that! Increasing hammer precision doing stuff like that just seems to be the best way. Thank's a big bunch Roy!
i was quite impressed with the split. No dags or rag or burs left over. Many who dont finish the split from the end seem to end up with a lot of that. the welded loop was quite neat too. Not one ive seen often. It kind of started to look like somewhat of an upset corner then bam welded loop. Nice work man!
I do agree with using the"soft" hammer of mild steel for hardy cutting, I don't see others doing that and I have kept a much sharper Hardy tool since building mine as you recommend on some of your videos, Thanks for teaching that leason
where did you get the idea for the "keyring" type holder for all those types of materials? think would make a great goto for teaching students. or handy for comparing salvaged steel.
Nice idea to put on key ring and I think you should have included an example of a mortise and tenon and assembled joint maybe? And 2 pc's of metal riveted together also, Because if you look at fences, gates, and window grills there are examples of those techniques as well as the ones you mentioned.
Technique 8, the one technique you used the most but did not even mention was cutting. I guess it’s hard to show that one on a key ring however :). Great video, thanks.
im actually really glad you did this video, i have never been able to do a good split for some reason but now i know a better way. will come in handy when i start making wands!!
Before I ask the questions, I just want to say this was a great video. So then cutting would be a form of splitting, and swageing a specialized form of drawing out? And drifting would also be a form of drawing out? And what about stamping (such as you would do to add a touchmark, or using a chisel or punch to add lines & dots to a piece)? I may be missing a technique or two, and there could be arguments made that bending and twisting are actually variations of the same thing. This was really a great instructional video showing the seven traditional blacksmith processes, and that keyring is a tremendous piece for teaching. I am actually surprised that I have never seen another video that showed just what this one does.
Is this like a test? What’s the time limit? Is there a maximum bar length used limit? We need details man! Seriously absolutely enjoyed watching this, I haven’t actually started smithing yet I’ve got a forge and working on an anvil. This definitely explained a couple of details that I just wasn’t sure on
If I may do a suggestion, it was missing a critical technic ""stretch the material in the direction we want, length or with". Although is not something that is visible on the end product, many smiths struggle to stretch the steal in the direction they need. For the rest, great tutorial! Thanks
I'm digging your videos man. This may be the first video ive seen with this many views and no thumbs down from anyone, lets see how long that will last. Jesus is Lord!
Great video Roy! Thanks for sharing and God Bless you guys!
As always a great tutorial and thank you. You and your family are wonderful people. Keep up the good work

I only got through the first 18 minutes before I had to leave for work. Will finish it after, great topic for a video. Thanks again Roy

Haven't seen the video yet, but thank tou Very much for your effort and knowledge, thumbs up!
This is gonna go viral.
Cheers Roy, great video.

Nice video, very good teaching tool !
Thanks for sharing !!

Hey Mr. Adams, I saw what you did while upsetting that piece! ;)
Glad you did this. I wanted to do these, and I forgot a couple. Thnx for uploading!
I like the way you did the intro then did the demo rather than trying to pause and talk through each thing.
Thanks again Roy this will help with teaching thanks an God bless
Very cool Roy thanks for sharing!

Cool, real nice finish on them,
Great video! Why do you bounce your hammer so much on the anvil after just about every strike? Just curious...is there something stuck to you hammer?
If I may do a suggestion, it was missing a critical technic ""stretch the material in the direction we want, length or with". Although is not something that is visible on the end product, many smiths struggle to stretch the steal in the direction they need.
For the rest, great tutorial! Thanks

Do the drifts and chisels an other tools that you work hot steel with loose their tempering after a while?
👍 = there is nothing left to say! Everything perfect!
It's like ASMR blacksmithing.
Is it possible to use a Mix of Coke and coal in a solid fuel forge
Wow never been this early before. Looking forward to it.
Thanks for the teaching,Sir
what about spreading
So if can do all these I can call my self a Blacksmith , I think I can
🙂
What’s the order of the tecnics?
the order he does them in the video is tapering, upsetting, Bending, Punching, Splitting, Welding, and Twisting.
Although, I think welding is much harder, than twisting.
@@stefanmierke4801 Yes it is because it's a contact weld, versus a penetrating arc weld. however if done properly you can't find the weld joint...
@@chipmullinix8541 When I demonstrate for public demo's I usually don't do splitting and defintely don't do welding! to easy to injure spectators!
