- Borax is used as a flux in many blacksmithing shops. many folks are proponents of cooking down borax to help it stick to the metal. I demonstrate the proper way to do this.

Reminds me of my granpa's carp recipe. Put the fish on a cedar plank and cook in the oven at 425 for 35 minutes. Take it out, throw the carp away and eat the board
Lol
Damn I wanna meet him
kenneth perry haha
We have a similar recipe for Galahs and Cockatoos - it involves boiling the bird with a rock until the rock is soft, then tossing the bird and eating the rock.
I heard the same, only put the fish in tinfoil with cow guacamole
I love how you are able to combine great information and humor in your videos.
That's what I think that makes viewers want to watch more of your TH-cam!
Yup !!! I loved the Cocaine borax. 3:05 is Borax crack.
Pure comedic genius! Absolutely BRILLIANT! Really had me going. I never heard of cooking down Borax, but was following along expectingly, thinking I was going to need to order a new stone mortar and pestle.
>_
Me too 😂😂 then I think I spit coffee thru my nose laughing
I SWEAR, ... I NEVER, .... heard of boiling down borax, ... until now.
tanglediver me neither, Lol! Apparently wasn't missin' nuthin'! 😄
I like this guy's sense of humor - not to mention the ultra informative lesson. Subscription earned.
Turn on Closed Captions and go to 1:42
😂😂😂 that's hilarious!!!
Lollll. And a spoonful of hope too.
BWHAHAHAAHA!
LMFAO Hilarious! Love that he started with a spoonful of hope XD
Invariably, indeed!
Thanks for making milk come out of my nose!! That was great!
Milk, spaghetti noodles are even better!
.me too. And I wasn't even drinking milk!
@@davearonow65 Heck my whole ham sandwich got thru mah node.
I think the problem is that the pot you used to cook the borax in has bad rebound
Dunno, it bounced off that damn tree pretty well
That's a win comment if I ever saw one though.
@@purgatoryironworksI hope the tree is ok☹.
ive been watching some of your videos recently but this really secured my subscription. i got a real laugh out of this one. keep it up
Yep, Ya totally got me .. I was like whoa.. I didnt know you had to do that ...! then BANG out the window.. Thankyou for the lesson.
Literally bought a Box to try my hand at forge welding this week, came upon this vid by chance....subbed. Love it man don't stop.
Thanks!
Sooooo funny when you threw the pot out of the window. Your the best . Keep up the good work. Love the videos
I didn’t even see it coming. Just starting to look at casting and didn’t know anything about it lol if videos are like this might have to keep watching
Ah ya got me on that one! I thought you had gone off the deep end! Keep up the great work!
It's so refreshing to cut through the B.S. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day.
I have to tell you that is the best information you can get at a cooking down borax I have ever seen. Here in Canada I'm going to be letting all the other blacksmith know to watch your video. And repeat step by step what you have done.
I LOVE your teaching style! Keep doing what you do best!
Rofl that ending tho! I was sitting like "why the hell would you do that?" And then....ROFL. Ty Trent, these are the kinds of videos I started following your channel for!
This has to be one of the more entertaining, and informative videos bout borax I've looked up all day.
There is a company in Alabama that sells the cooked down Borax. I have seen other blacksmiths pledge by it. I really enjoy your method of tossing it!
I stick those silica gel packs in the can.
Keep up the great videos. Only recently discovered your thread and am greatly enjoying it!
Dude! You just gained another fan
Thank you I’ve been looking for this answer 😊
That was great !!
Thanks for the good information and video.
Dude, this is now one of my favorite videos. I was carefully watching all along and thinking to myself "man, I've never had to go through all of this" and then we got to the end and I kinda cheered. Keep up.tbe good work!
Appreciate you watching!
That is the most common sense, plain speaking and direct thing I have seen on here. Thank you for your sage words of wisdom.
Great as always Trent. Thanks!
This litteraly JUST made me a fan for life Bro!
Great video, and one you will remember. That gives it value. Good "training" video!
I love it! Thanks for the honesty.
Great ending. Thank you. As a newbie blacksmith, you had me thinking I was going to have to do so much extra work.
Thanks so much for making this video

I was watching and thinking "wonder what he's going to do with it" - made me chuckle. You get yourself a subscribe sir, well played
Mate I've just started silver casting and my 1st cast came out black and burnt and I've just found out about borax and you're video is the most informative on the Internet thank you
Yukyukyuk! My grandfather was a blacksmith during the depression. He’s been dead since 1971 and we scattered his ashes on the Sandia Mountains east of Albuquerque, NM. I started watching this I swear I heard him cussing, lol. “Ay CARAMBA! What is wrong with that boy?” We never cooked borax down anywhere but on hot steel bar!
Man, you had me all the way to the end, AWESOME!
Love it! Great video!
Well done. I'm liking your work mate.

Thanks, Trent!
I just laughed so hard I had two tears in my eyes, that was just too funny. I've never heard of cooking down borax either like that but I have now oh my god...
I LOVE that ending!!!
I dont forge welding, blacksmithing or anything like that, but it got me curious there. Thanks for a nice video on the subject! Cheers from Brazil!
That was great. I'm glad I watched the whole thing :)
There at the end... I thought you were channeling my late dad. Brought a fond chuckle to my heart. LOL Great lesson!

You have to watch me, Im tricky!
Thanks man great explanation
great vid very informative
Priceless love it
You are absolutely hilarious.. LOVE this video, man. I had a good chuckle going from the snorting of the borax, right through to the end.. when you threw that pot outside I busted out laughing. Hahaha great video.
By far the best tutorial I have ever seen
That was amazing, I am new to this and this video was great! I totally didn't expect you to throw that out the window and I was half wondering if that was part of the process LOL
Dude, that was awesome. Thank you very much. As a new novice to smithing, this was informative and it made me laugh, so thank you very much sir!
You really had me on that one, almost pissed myself when you threw the pot out the window. Love the videos.
God damn love this guy!! Love the video man!!
Or just buy anhydrous borax (instead of the grocery store laundry stuff).
If it works why spend money on more expensive stuff?
@@Grauenwolf lol
I subscribed over this video. I'm a fan of your content in general but this was amazingly funny.
Hahahaha i was not expecting that!! Freaking hilarious ! Great video.
Loved that.
I'm a beginner so i really took the bait. "Wtf... do i have to cook the borax?, i have totally missed this..."
Laughed so hard at the end. Your channel is great!!!
Good Man , I Love it when you tell it like it is !
Great Information !
Keep Hammering !
That's a new one for me, never seen anyone bother. Fun watching you suddenly chuck that pot.
I’m brand new to this, I’m watching with rapt attention, taking notes, adding to my playlist, and WHAMMO. Got me. Hook..line..AND sinker. Well-played my friend, well-played.
Great video!!!!
Amazing video! I laughed way harder than i should have. :)
Great lesson!
Love this...I am not a blacksmith but, I do use borax flux to solder silver jewelry. The bubbling of the borax can be annoying but, deal with it. If your solder bits move put them back in place with a pick and get on with your soldering. Sooner or later ya may even learn how to slowly heat the work piece to keep the solder from jumping.
That conclusion was dope
This is the first video I've watched from you man. It just made me subscribe. I love it! Ha ha haaaa!
hahaha love the spoon scene. Its the good stuff!
That was hilarious. I never saw that coming. You just got a new subscriber.
Great tip!
