I agree with the other folks suggesting that the Japanese forge needs to be christened with a Japanese blade. Doesn't need to be big, even a little tanto would be fine. But obviously bigger would be better.
Could you guys make a fencing sword or whatever it's called from the 1700-1800s, for more technical dueling? I'm not sure if I'm describing it correctly,but I have the kind of dueling from the mask of zoro movies in mind, a thin fencing sword. Would love to see one made.
A japanese style forge deserves to be used first in making a tanto blade, from start to finish, with the straw and rice paper, and clay and the folding technique, that would be awesome to watch.
Please keep doing bloopers that’s awesome. I’d love to see you make your own bloom steel and forge a katana or wakizashi from it. Especially if Ilya goes to town on the engravings
I learned a lot about building a charcoal forge being that I would like to build one myself I still maybe a long ways off on doing it but it was nice to see roughly the best way of doing so from a great group of blacksmiths. Stay safe guy's!
this video has really given me more hope to picking up blacksmithing sooner, one thing i worried alot about was a forge and i thought this build would be so complicated but.....its relatively easy. and i really like the bellows!
Looks nice, with clay shrinking 20-30% when fired I don't see it holding the fire bricks afterwards. Would you guys please show your forge after a few good heats?
Wow you guys are amazing. I'm not much into posting, but I've been watching men at arms and now this and I wish I had the space to have my own little shop
if i had more room id build one , this design is great i like the way you hung the hood with the leaves, nice touch. and the way you made the tuyere. i just started making my first sword never had the patience till now.
Shadiversity sent me, I didn't realize you lost your channel....that sucks. I know that's super late news, but I'm glad to see your doing mostly aight.
16:37 what the hell kind of accent is Iliya trying to do?! Lol, it sounds like a mix of some Scandinavian accent mixed with something from around the Boston area mixed with something from Alabama... with hints of British flair.
I need to know more about the materials used to make the actual forge walls themselves, such as the tube going from the bellows to the forge and the material that particular brick was cast with.
I hate coming across as a besserwisser here, but surely you meant that this mighty fine forge you built here is a side blast forge, and not a side draft forge? As for what have seen, the draft refers to the suction caused by the chimney and hood, which helps suck the smoke out, and the blast refers to the blast of air coming from the tuyere, fueling the hearth. Just wanting to make sure the terminology stays true here, I enjoyed the video!
It really is great to see you having fun and playing together! But that Chris fella ... I'm not so sure about him, you sure he got all of his bolts, as it where?
Hi guys, Another great build and video, well done. Now here's what I've been giving you as a challenge on many of your other videos as a suggestion for one heck of a bad ass Viking battle axe that no other can rival it. The Thor axe *"JARNBJORN"* built out of heat treated and tempered "Titanium". Why Titanium you ask, because it's the only material that can do this axe justice. Plus it would make an incredible collector's piece, a one of a kind with no rival. The most bad ass axe ever produced. What say you, up for the challenge? P.S I guess you could make it out of 5160 but in doing so, you take away exclusivity of a Titanium version because you'll have hundreds of copycats making them because it's much easier to use 5160 than Titanium. A titanium version vs any other steel would make it a one of a kind as I don't think they'll be many copycats willing to put in the work of a Titanium versions. Yes I know that Titanium is very expensive and incredibly had to work with, hence why it would be so bad ass and one of a kind that you could easily ask whatever you want for it, since there's none out there to compare it with. *"HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE DUE TO EXCLUSIVITY"* are the key words!!
Can you point me in the direction of where / what high heat pottery clay you used or can use and what bricks you are using? I'm aware that concrete will explode but I'm trying to source some larger fire bricks and clay and can only find "high heat cement" here in the eastern united states. Ps great video, great new coal forge.
Hi illia and matt I've watched a few videos on Japanese forges and im wondering why some people put a large amount off crushed charcoal in the bottom of the forge before lightning the forge as far is i can make out there is no refactory added
I know i'm gonna attract hate for this (tries to hide) but the music in your videos is always so loud. Is there any chance you would consider turning the music down in your future vids? 😕 I know its not just you, everyone does it. I just thought i'd throw my sixpence worth in 😮 Btw, the leaf supports are really cool Ilya👍
Love the videos but please get shrouds on those angle grinders... worst injuries I’ve ever had to perform first aid on were from shattered grinding wheels...
So I've been curious of a certain sword for a while now. In the book series the Riyria Revelations, one of the main characters, Hadrian Blackwater, carries a "Knight's Spadone" and I have looked for example pictures of said sword for a while, but no one depicts it like a Spanish spadona and from the description in the books and such, it resembles a large, two handed sword, very well balanced and compares to Aragorn's Anduril... has to carry it across his back its so large. Most pictures though, show its like a bastard sword... which, since Hadrian also carries a Bastard sword... would be a bit redundant. Any chance you guys could create Hadrian's Spadone. would be cool to see it come to life?
If you look closely in the clip where Ilya is preparing the forge walls (the bricks), there's a tuyere (in the form of a tube) built into one of the bricks, leading from the forge to the bellows itself. Not sure how the double action part of it works, unfortunately, but you can see that it definitely works
Hello, Ilya & Matt, hope you well. Can u make an Epic plough with some dragons ingraved. I am thinking SS316 or Damascus steel or both. Regards from Stefan.

Bell Cranels dagger from Danmachi. also stay safe boys.
Roronoa zoro's three katana from one piece would be great
tbh, id like to see a traditional finnish lapland knife called leuku made...

Isn't it fantastic that the less OSHA approved a blacksmith shop gets, the more productive and well equipped it is.
This video is good, but the bloopers are the best..
Y’all seem to be having too much fun
Really liked it ^^
hm, maybe a video about a blacksmith shop layout; historically & how your experience influence the layout you have right now?
In today's episode we see the rare "Mud Dauber" Ilya preparing its nest.
I really liked the part where the cold steel rod was forged to glow red, really cool!
it would be nice to see how the bellow is made.
th-cam.com/video/9DItfz-6NmU/w-d-xo.html, this guy is such a beast in woodworking as those guys are in metalwork
agreed

Check out man at arms hattori hanźo build.
@@simongallant5174 I've already seen it, but Matt editing on ilias work would be awesome.
I just got a stabalized burl from you guys and man oh man it's perfectly stabalized. Absolutely perfect! Thank you
Please keep doing bloopers that’s awesome. I’d love to see you make your own bloom steel and forge a katana or wakizashi from it. Especially if Ilya goes to town on the engravings
The simplicity and effectivity of the japanese bellows really got me convinced - I'm going to build one for my forge as well!
I finally found the chanell where Matt and Ilya are doing new stuff. Damn it's been a while...
Thank you, enjoyed the creation video. Had not seen a forge like this built from scratch. Be safe guys.
I learned a lot about building a charcoal forge being that I would like to build one myself I still maybe a long ways off on doing it but it was nice to see roughly the best way of doing so from a great group of blacksmiths. Stay safe guy's!

i am so exited to watch you guys get to do this your way.
You guys look like you're having fun. That's awesome, keep it up! Thanks guys.
Bloopers is the BEST
You seem like a massive tool, but you know how to handle your tools. Respect the craftsmanship. Big up
I didn't know about that way of lighting a new forge - very cool! Thanks!
First projects, a set of custom forge tending tools. Awesome video guys great to see how it’s been done for centuries!
Can't wait to see what you create with that new forge.
That was a fine looking mighty axe, Ilya.
Cool stuff as always,! I will love another vlog about history around blacksmithing and forged artifacts . Have fun with your new forge guys ^^
Cannot wait to see what you make with the new forge!
Looks nice, with clay shrinking 20-30% when fired I don't see it holding the fire bricks afterwards. Would you guys please show your forge after a few good heats?
This video is more "watch us build a Japanese Forge" than it is a "How to make".
Watch us build has a lot of how to.
I would love to se you guys do a Ringwraith's sword from Lord of the Rings. You've inspired me to get back to work on my Japanese-esk forge.
The music made it looked like I'm watching another essential craftsman video, nice touch.
What kind of blocks did you use? You should make an anchor.
Wow you guys are amazing. I'm not much into posting, but I've been watching men at arms and now this and I wish I had the space to have my own little shop
Ila is awesome miss his work
Congratulations on the forge. Here's to many a forgiving in it.
Lets get a more in depth look at the bellows's construction.
Looks efficient.
if i had more room id build one , this design is great i like the way you hung the hood with the leaves, nice touch. and the way you made the tuyere. i just started making my first sword never had the patience till now.
Just in time for blacksmith spring fashion collection
A dream for a blacksmith like me, a real japanese coal forge 😊 in the futur i make it too 🔥
Great video!!!
Thanks for your time and craft shared much respect for your expertise.
Sure glad Illya's a blacksmith and not a mason 😜
Shadiversity sent me, I didn't realize you lost your channel....that sucks.

This is a great video! Cinematography is well done and I’m very interested in the forge construction of the side draft style forge.
Awesome work and congrats guys!! My buddy and I really liked the War Hammer build, maybe you guys can do a Bardiche, Billhook, or a Halberd
Loved the forge lighting. 🙂 🖤 🔥
this video is so cool and very helpful too!

Jerry Karlsson yes he mispoke thank you besserwisser 👍🏼
Really great setup, the traditional ways aren’t traditional just for nostalgia, they work
The new forge is awesome, but Ilya's stache is better.
Am I missing something? Where is the built of the box bellows as you write in the description? This is imho the most interesting detail.
I must say, I really like Ilya's hammer.. it's a tool, obviously, but so pretty
We need more of Matt and Ilya southern accent in narrations.
Next time on "This Old Forge"....
Are the valves of the Japanese bellows built with leather sealings or just wood on wood?
st georges sword from kingdom come deliverance(kinda historical, overall gorgeous)
I am in need of some road rage tools!
How thick are the metal sheets of the exhaust hood? Like 2mm / 0.08"?
Björn 14g
@@ThatWorks Ahh thank you, didn't know that it is a measurement system, thought wtf 14g = 14 grams ?? But it means 14 gauges = 0.064" = 1.628 mm, lol.
That's cool. Any chance of doing a a vid on the actual box bellows, dimensions and construction !?!
Excited to see what this brings! Keep up the good content!
Hey, my forge hood is built and suspended the exact same way!
awesome vid guys, one question, when ilya hammerd that piece of metal why did it explode in spsrkd??
Welding heat+water on the anvil
It makes a great noise also
It really is great to see you having fun and playing together! But that Chris fella ... I'm not so sure about him, you sure he got all of his bolts, as it where?
Anyone know the name of the song that starts at 9:40 or so? The dubstep one?
Music a bit to loud over a voice at same time
Agreed. Please balance the volume a little more?
Illiya having glasses. Does he protect the lenses from getting melted sparks from grinding? If so can he share?
Probably has some real glass lenses, and you can get glass lenses z87 rated.
Ilya we wish, we could watch you make a Katana on this channel
Did you guys dismantle the old open charcoal forge you guys had?
Hi guys,

Just trolling with that hot cut hardy in the anvil eh.

I'm aware that concrete will explode but I'm trying to source some larger fire bricks and clay and can only find "high heat cement" here in the eastern united states.

Hi illia and matt I've watched a few videos on Japanese forges and im wondering why some people put a large amount off crushed charcoal in the bottom of the forge before lightning the forge as far is i can make out there is no refactory added
I would love to see yall make some mokume gane, and make a knife out of it.
What kind of brick did you use? It looks similar to ceramic kiln bricka.
Молодец Илья. Как всегда высший пилотаж.
Cool video ;) Can you make more details of the air box ? I love this natural artefact....
you should make a big nice custom handle for the blower
Does a charcoal forge allow for good temperature control? It seems like with experience the bellows might allow decent control.
Are you guys going to make a traditional katana.... Because damn that would be dope
What type of brick is used for the walls?
I know i'm gonna attract hate for this (tries to hide) but the music in your videos is always so loud. Is there any chance you would consider turning the music down in your future vids? 😕 I know its not just you, everyone does it. I just thought i'd throw my sixpence worth in 😮 Btw, the leaf supports are really cool Ilya👍
I didn’t expect you to not show how to make the bellows, it’s what I was here for. Am sad
Could you guys make a double bellow or box bellow?
Love the videos but please get shrouds on those angle grinders... worst injuries I’ve ever had to perform first aid on were from shattered grinding wheels...
Gracias!
More war hammers would be cool

Video prescription says" ...to how the box bellows work.". Where the hell was that part?
What kind of coal do you use and why?
Great!
I still want you to make сабля Тамерлана make it your 2nd historic build
what is the brand of charcoal that you use?
Where did you get the high temp clay?
So.... are you guys EVER gonna finish the Falchion for Skallagrim or what?
John Salo hey , details about that were in any of the last 3 or 4 videos, they did finish it and Skallagrim has it 👍🏼
Holy shit just realized Ilya was in Forged in fire
A traditional Japanese forge? The first project has to be a traditional Japanese sword made by a traditional Japanese sword maker from far Asia.
Or making a nice frying pan.
I think that I just was annoying enough so you could see this project)
I was asking him about how to make this bellows,forge e.t.c))
Классно! Натурально круто! Много полезного для себя почерпнул, спасибо)
Any tips for lightning the forge the traditional way ? At 300° my steel breaks and fly in the workshop...SSHTTOING-GLING
curious how the bellows connects to the tue...brick...thing you made. I've only ever seen side blast forges with water tanks and such.
If you look closely in the clip where Ilya is preparing the forge walls (the bricks), there's a tuyere (in the form of a tube) built into one of the bricks, leading from the forge to the bellows itself.
