    On the eightteenth day of Christmas the black bear made for me, a decorative punch, meat scewers, a hot dog fork, jingle bels, a candy dish, a paper towel holder, a menorah, BBQ tongs, a stocking hanger, a Christmas tree ornament, a cabinet pull, a dinner bell, a steak flipper, a hose hanger, a bottle opener, a candle snuffer, a nice wreath hook and a beaitifull coat hook.
    Today I closed my forge of with welding curtains, as I have seen you do when you were installing the power hamer. Really keeps the cold out. I never even heard of these curtains before, great idea thank you, a lot!!! 🔥😀👍🌞

      They are better than an open hole in the wall. Some day I hope for real doors.

      I am hoping Santa feels sorry for me and sends a small army of contractors to finish the shop so the heat stays in.

    John you are very good at explaining processes. I am learning a lot from your videos. I have been a welder for years, but I am just now starting to get into the forging and blacksmithing end of metal work.
    Thanks

    Thanks for all the videos John, I really love this channel. I made my first bottle opener the other day for a Christmas present and I am so happy with it. Looking forward to trying the barbeque tongs when I get home! I've also been trying to source tool steel so I can make my makers mark, it will be something very similar to the flower you just made, very inspiring.

  • @erniew5805
    @erniew5805 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    glad to know your feet are warm but seeing your breath as you handle the steel i can't help but think your fingers are cold .

    • @erniew5805
      @erniew5805 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      plus the swamp cooler ad is not relevant this time of year for the northerners

    • @getoverit4887
      @getoverit4887 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      His fingers are much warmer than you'd think. Hot steel warms the fingers quite nicely.

  • @getoverit4887
    @getoverit4887 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just and idea for you, maybe you should make these Christmas idea videos during the warmer months. That way you don't have to try and deal with the camera and heating the steel so much. Just set them to the side and save them to put out around Christmas. I can see how quickly your steel is cooling down and have experienced these issues my self. Pull steel out of fire, touch anvil, and hit it about 5 times with your hammer. Then it's too cold to keep going. My issues being a little different because my forge is outside and I use wood. Coal is hard to get in Louisiana without paying exorbitant prices for it or driving hours away from home. It doesn't get as cold here, but still cold is cold when it comes to sapping the heat out of your work.

      What is better on a cold day than firing up the furnace and beating metal to keep you warm?

    • @BlackBearForge
      @BlackBearForge  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Since i will be in the shop and making videos and products year round, I am not sure it matters. Plus being able to see my breath adds to the feeling that its winter and working in a tee shirt might not.

  • @gordoneckler4537
    @gordoneckler4537 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sure would like to have seen the hardening and tempering of the S-7 Tool Steel. Otherwise, I enjoyed the video.

    • @BlackBearForge
      @BlackBearForge  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      There really isn't much to see. Heat to 1725 cool in air then temper. I am sure we will have a chance to cover it again in a future video.

    • @BlackBearForge

      I wouldn't think so

    • @aslob9321
      @aslob9321 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      It can be used but it’s not ideal. It’s a shock resistant steel so I might work ok for a khukri or a machete.
