Good fun, Thanks for the shout out. Great video as usual.
My pleasure. Thanks for your support.
Patience is a virtue not many have these days. Nice work.
No questions about it, as life has gotten more complicated and connected, people can't wait one minute without getting anxious. Thanks.
I have a book on medieval weapons. That particular design was used for punching through plate armour.
Glen, Interesting Bread Loaf anvil and use. Bolting it down really helped with the ringing. Thanks again for taking the time to bring us a demo and how you use your unique tool set on the task at hand.
Sonny, Just the very simplest solution to not have that anvil jump around too much. I will eventually make a different stand for it. Thanks for everything.
Glen, I am always very impressed with your knowledge of what steps to take in making something you have never made before. Great technique! Jerry
I think I probably went about this somewhat incorrectly. But the end result is good so maybe that's all that matters. Thanks.
I like the way your anvils, horns and swage blocks appear to be arranged around your rotating stool like Gene Krupa's drums and cymbals.
The small hammer reminds me of a hummingbird. Great video as always.😊⚒
I like hummingbirds...and yeah, that hammer is about the same size. Thanks.
Good looking arrow head. Great for popping through chain mail!
Though not perfect, I imagine this would do the job. Thanks.
Ken lives about an hours drive from me. Can't wait for things to go back to normal so I can visit him. Great job on the arrow head
Craig L Jardine hi from Saskatchewan can you put a link to him? please and thank you 😊
Small world. Or at least the internet makes it seems that way. Ken is a true gentleman. Thanks.
So THAT's what you came up with to hold that little guy down. Knew it would be something I hadn't thought of. Thanks, as always!
Just the most basic solution. But I am planning to make a custom block for that bread loaf anvil. Thanks.
Glen, hope you and yours are safe and healthy. Thanks for the inspiration!
That is a cool Bodkin arrow point !
Just my version of something that's been done a lot. Thanks.
Much respect Glen
Careful sir with those tongs😂, could make a good day forging a nightmare, definitely make a hold fast🤣🤣🤣
Holdfast coming next. Stay tuned... Thanks.
Absolutely love the setup you have with your ASO's. I'll be incorporating similar ideas as my shop is pretty small as well. Blacksmithing doesn't have to be flashy to get the job done well.
These small anvils I have suit me and my work space well. Yes, at it's core, blacksmithing is very basic - just trying to reshape steel / iron when in a plastic state. Tooling can be as simple or as complicated as one wants. Thanks.
@@gstongs The clean, smooth surfaces are better than most anvils I have seen.
Great video always love the content!!! Also that hot cut setup was awesome
That simple hardy tool allows me to change between different hardy tools without any having hardy shanks. Nothing fancy but works. Thanks.
Nice job on the arrow head!!!!
I need to do stuff like this more; get more practice in on projects like this. Thanks.
Nice work Glen :)
Much appreciated.
Whole body blacksmithing... Thanks for a laugh to start my morning. Cool -- if brutal looking -- arrowhead. Clyde
My holdfast video should be next. Glad you got a laugh. Thanks for sticking with my channel.
very cool Glen!
Nothing special but it works. Thanks for continuing to watch.
That may be the smallest arrowhead I have ever seen forged. It looks pretty good (particularly as it's the first one you have ever made), and I suspect it would work well.
I think this arrowhead is a fair size or at least, as you say, it would get the job done. After doing this, I watched some other (better) arrowhead making videos and I can see that my steps were probably not ideal. Still, I had fun. Thanks.
Ya make a great point there mate.
That's kind of like one of them Old English crossbow bolts pretty cool🔥🛠👍✌
I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. Thanks.
Great job
Thanks for watching.
Are those breadloaf anvil will be available soon ?
I like little projects like this, yoy should make more. Shows you dont need a power hammer and a 500 lbs anvil to make neat things. I like that loaf anvil...
I agree. I need to do more project like this; get more practice in on this sort of stuff. It really doesn't take much to do good blacksmithing. Thanks.
I was particularly intrigued by the different hammer sizes and styles you used, especially the small one.... just what that part of the job called for.
@@clark57225 it's nice seeing little projects. I just went out in the garage yesterday and made this arrow head. I didn't fire up the forge, just a blow torch.
what a great set up you have would have loved to own the same as and make it into my hobby its a part of my bucket list that will never happen
Very wise words in the last 30sec...especially for beginners...thanks.
What do you forge for a living ? The everyday stuff not the projects you show us ?
I mostly make and sell tongs, hammers and other tooling. But I like to just experiment with stuff in most of my videos as it's good practice for me since the scope of my blacksmithing range is limited. Thanks.
@@gstongs Thank you !
I like that you work sitting. Specific reason?
Like surprising number 335 you just made an arrowhead by heating the iron, haha as a blacksmith I can deduce that it is only by seeing it. How I would like to do what you do and have a forge is beautiful what you do
Glad you like this. Blacksmithing is a wonderful craft. Thanks.
Nice work shop
My space is very limited. Thanks.
Wah great
now you just need to make 49 more of em at the exact same weight and you'll have a set 🤣
Another example of quality blacksmithing! Great work, as usual.
I appreciate you watching. Thanks.
Fun project. Blow gun darts are next? LOL
Ha! That just might be... Thanks for sticking around.
How do you deal with surface rust on your anvils them being out on a patio
The patio may have a roof and/or gutter above it to redirect the water. That or most of the anvils are rust resistant. That’s my guess anyways, could be wrong.
Just constant use really helps keep rust at bay. And I frequently spray stuff down with WD-40. Thanks.
Yes, I'm outside but under a covered area. However anvils definitely rust but the scale, grease and grime of normal use help to prevent that from happening. Thanks.
I know that you have mention where you your bread loaf anvil, but I can't remember which video. Can you share a link where to get one?
I got this anvil from a Taiwan friend. He purchased it online from somewhere in China, not sure where. Maybe check Chinese search websites? I will ask him... Thanks.
@@gstongs Thanks! The horn looks like it would be very beneficial in ring making!
Brilliant little guillotine tool. Did you make it yourself?
Yes, that guillotine is my own design. Simple and small but stout, and can be very useful... Thanks.
A sitting blacksmith whit nice and shiny tools, catches me next time. I say, no subscribey.
You imagine having one of those hit you in your tin body armour while riding a horse full gallop charging into battle. Knock you off there backwards. Bahahaha.
My arrowhead is nothing special but I imagine it would do the job. Thanks.
At first I did not know where you were going with this. Turned out really cool !!
That makes two of us! I often just play stuff like this by ear. Others have more established methods... Thanks.
