Excellent video, thank you. I am new to blacksmithing and it is just a hobby for me, but I made this project and it turned out very well thanks to you.
I watched the BBQ spoon and have watched this one on the fork! I subbed! Very instructional videos! Im just a beginner so thanks for taking the time to videos like this
I enjoyed this, but honestly I learned most by you using your 2 hardy tools. I see that I seriously need to make a frw hardy tools. Many thanks for video, please share as often as you can.
Nope, you want whats called "flaxseed oil" . Technically, they are the same oil but linseed oil is processed wit ha bunch of solvents and other nastiness. Flaxseed is cold pressed and is what you want to use.
Great video! I have a question unrelated to this video. I am a wood worker and over the years have bought a lot of wood chisels. some are the socket style, but they have been hammered on, with out the handle and are all rounded over.I was wondering if you might do a video on how to repair them. Thank you !
I made a knife out of an air scissor blade. It is very hard steel. I have tried everything except heating it to drill a hole in the tang so I can put a handle on it. What suggestion do you have for me to be able to drill a hole in the tang? I was told that if I put heat to it that it would burn up instantly because of the high carbon content in the steel.
No, its not going to burn up. Bring it up to non magnetic temperature and bury in ash or vermiculite, let cool overnight. This will allow you to drill it. Then follow a standard high carbon steel hardening and tempering process to make it a good blade.
@@purgatoryironworks thank you very much. I appreciate your information. I will try it and let you know how it turns out. Love your videos they are very helpful. Jeep up the good work.
Very Good work there Trenton. question. Does the type of Fuel you use, (say Coal, Gas, Charcoal), have an effect on the finish of the piece you are making?? The Videos are getting better and better everytime you post!!...
Sure. If anything, as with most steel, there will be a slight de-carburization of the surface but its nothing that will affect the quality of the piece

I learn something every time I watch you
Then mission accomplished!
Thanks for putting up some easy for the beginning smith projects.
Certainly welcome!
Looks great can't wait to get mine from the kickstarter

Great job and keep up the hard work be blessed
Subbed! Perfect vid, perfect forging.. Thanks for the inspiration.
aWESOME SAUCE, DEF MAKING THIS LATER TONIGHT
I had a smith tell me to use the curve of the leg vise to put the curve in the tongs. Works good.
I'm interested to see some tonges made. particularly, how to heat treat them so get the spring action. Love the videos.
If you leave the reins of the tongs rectangular about 4 in back then you will get a fair about of spring without heat treating.
Most tongs are never heat treated, the spring comes from the thickenss of the metal
Love your videos. Plus I learned a new word, Katawampas (not sure of sp), i am going to start using that. Cant wait till the next video.
Thanks for the great video! I may actually be able to make a fork!
You are very welcome!
Great video! Everytime my farrier comes he drops me off a bucket of horseshoes. I'm gonna try this with some horseshoes :D
Easy to split those with a chisel!
awesome. One of these days I'll get me a forge ... when I'm less poor :D
moonasha you can make one from an old brake drum or calor gas bottle if you can weld a little .
Mine is a grill with a hairdryer
What do you use to finish cooking. utensils? the linseed oil is ok for that? thanks for your videos always love learning

+purgatoryironworks. thanks for correcting me I always forget about that
How did you get your finish on the final piece? Did you wire brush it to shiny?
What would you recommend for someone starting out to make to start
Most smiths start by making a wall hook with a twist. The techniques used are essentially the foundation of blacksmithing.

Can you send me some pics on facebook and let me see what you have got?
Ok I will do it tonight. Thank-you for responding
cool.
Is that stainless? I'd be amazed if it was with how easily you shaped it, though guess machining work is different to blacksmithing.
Nope, this is just a mild steel, but 304 isnt too terribly different to work under. Now if get get into D2 and the like, phew, like hammering rocks

No, the only thing would be a decarburization of the surface but even that isnt going to affect the look.Getting it too hot will though!
Thanks Trenton !...
Is there any way to make that jig without a welder? : (
Jonathon Nagel If you haven't figured it out by now. Go over to Christ Centered Ironworks
you can blacksmith stainless steel without ruining the properties?
Sure. If anything, as with most steel, there will be a slight de-carburization of the surface but its nothing that will affect the quality of the piece
OK Now make a copper bladed spatula, (4" long -- 3" wide -- 18" handle)
Done.
