Always been facinated about metals, being a knife guy I hope to one day be a maker. Not for selling, just to make my dream blade. This info really helps me get started. Thanks a ton Sir.
im loving this video, packed full of info and your shop looks awesome i love the older style of it. newer can be nice but the old ways work amazing too
I have been a welder fabricator all my life Im just getting into blacksmithing . You make it look so easy I guess its a matter of time with the Forge Hammer & Anvil to get proficient at different projects, I just subbed to your channel ...Great job
I have been making knives and doing fairly well selling them but there is just so much competition selling too cheaply to be worth while. I have now started making some other things, like pendants and key chains. This was a great lesson on leaf making, thank you for taking the time to make the video.
You have to deal with a lot of IDIOTS remarks on here I see. On another note I want to thank you for the time you spend teaching. Your videos on here definitely help me along my way being basically a rookie at this stuff. God bless brother.
Very cool project. I'm amazed at how long the thin stem stays bright orange. On my anvil within a second or two of hammering thin material mine fades from orange to red to gray. Maybe my anvil is too cold from being stored outside.
I loved this easy to understand demonstrations but I didn't quite get how he managed to center the stem, first it was off center and in the next close up its perfectly centered, did he just do it with the pliers?
Nobody saw it, it did not happen.... unfortunately doing that causes a cold shut which is why so many peoples leaves break off when doing it like that.
wahab x I’m no professional quench, temper, heat treat specialist but it depends on what material your using. There are steels that are oil hardening like 5160 or 4140 there is s7 and h13 that are air hardening and steels that are water hardening like old samurai swords. Any non hardening steel is safe to water quench.
Hey watching this again a year later and wondering I’d like to make one as a necklace for my wife if you dip it in the oil and scrub it will it still rust? What would stop it from rusting?
I'm just getting started and haven't made my mind up on Coal or Gas. You said with power (gas) comes responsibility. What exactly were you referring to? Other than the safety factors I mean.
He made a mistake, I think he actually was referring to coal forges. They definitely get hotter than gas, and it's well known that they can get so hot that they ruin projects.
Anyone have a good base price for selling something like this? It's a bit more involved than similar sized "quick" trinkets, but a little more time goes into these than say, meat skewers.
@@Jordan-rb28 An update to my old comment would be that I have improved a lot since then and that I can make a fancy leaf in perhaps a little over an hour, much like you.
"never perform in public what you have not perfected in private" Oh, okay well I had my first 300-400 hours or so of forging on a market with thousands of people around :D
Nobody saw it, it did not happen.....CLASSIC, and LOVING that line. Thanks Trenton
Very nice job. You give us the basics and leave us free to interpret and express our own. Thanks.

Did you ever try yet?
Your videos are an endless inspiration, I don't have a great setup, just two old bbq's and a few old tools, but I think I might give this leaf a try.
High praise and I thank you so much for it.

Do you know how many times I have blown on my phone trying to clean off the stuff from the anvil??
I am an amateur blacksmith... thank you for your pointers! you are awesome!!!
Thank you!

Appreciate it! As with anything, its time and effort, I have just been at this flavor for sometime!
How did I not see this demo before? I've watched so many of your vids and this one is the simplest leaf tutorial I've seen. Thank you.
Man am I glad to see someone else do it the way I do with the tail.
nice little demo there ! thanks for showing have subbed Ant from Wales UK
Fantastic video. Thank you for making this.
that handle on your ... fire adjuster is awesome
moonasha its a pineapple twist. :)
That was awesome, thank-you for sharing...

Deep Beeps :
No matter what the judges said, I still think you shold have became forged in fire champion. I also live in south Georgia, coweta county
Thank you sir. Been trying to figure this out for a while. Great demo.
Thank you for making this video!!
Your very welcome.
Awesome job. Trent! I'll have to send you one of mine.
good forge, thumbs up!
job well done , keep those videos coming. oh btw I like the "wire" trick for estimating how long it needs to be for scrolling.
Great work 👍
Thank you..I'll try and forge one..
That was awesome! Thanks!!
Love these demonstrations :D

Just got to be quick!

good to see you working up a sweat...been a while :)
It has! You have no idea the technical hurdles we have had to overcome to up the production value and we are still working on the kinks.
"right on the floor, just like that." Now to make a pile of them to rake up.
It was Monday, soooooo much crap screwed up.
For curiosity's sake is there a reason you didn't draw out the stem before cutting it?
I dont like trying to "taper into" a thicker piece. I find it invites cold shuts. Just not my preference.
Lovely art !! Where can I buy one or two such leaves from, in USA ?
Wow that was cool
Интересная плетеная ручка на кочерге,есть видео по изготовлению?
"Thank you, Vanna" :)
What oil do you dip in-is it ok with the heat-wont catch fire?
It's fine if the oil catches fire. Doesn't affect the project.
Cool video.
awesome video man. I've been looking to do more artistic work and tools lately instead of just doing blades
When you quench in oil, what kind of oil do you use, and why (or why not)?
water makes it harder
oil makes it safer
using water means yr taking the risk to break yr thing thats what i know
wahab x I’m no professional quench, temper, heat treat specialist but it depends on what material your using. There are steels that are oil hardening like 5160 or 4140 there is s7 and h13 that are air hardening and steels that are water hardening like old samurai swords.
Any non hardening steel is safe to water quench.
hahahaha! the ending though!!
what is the oil that you dip your finished piece in?
Hey watching this again a year later and wondering I’d like to make one as a necklace for my wife if you dip it in the oil and scrub it will it still rust? What would stop it from rusting?
Brian Philbrook make one from tool steel or just use mild and coat it

Just one more heat

Your leaf sir, please collect it from the floor! lmao
Why risk damaging your anvil or hammer not drawing a taper over the far edge of the anvil?
30 minutes? I take about 7 hours to make just one of those.
It's taken me an hour or two hours at max when it's way cleaner and fancier than this one

@@dankuspanku4650 hey good to hear!
Beer? I thought if you finished your beer you just ordered another,,, bahahahaha.
3" x center of stock diameter (in inches) = stock you need (ish)
3.14 x D= C
hence the "ish" :)
Yes Pi times diameter is circumference. I came to post this and you beat me to it. I always multiply by 3 to get me in the ball park.
could you try make a glass knife
You mean a knife that has been flint knapped, like an obsidian blade?
Thanks for a great video but man! you need to clean your anvil and swipe your floor atleast once a month ;-)
Oh my gosh anchor that anvil so it doesn't ring so much.
Why is a piece of metal a bad boy ???
lmao it might take you 30 minutes I've been working for about 5 hours now and I've managed to break my first two attempts.
Easy. Nope. Just tried it. Video was just posted. It’s like a Pinterest Fail. One person described it as a sperm. 🤣
nee fok myne lyk nie so nie
Word dan goed!
