another video?! Can´t belive it! Thank you again Brian. A lot of blacksmiths around the world wait for your videos. That´s a nice structure for a knife, for sure I will try one for myself. Thanks for all the team that shot the video, cant wait for the next one.
I loved the bird inspiration, it kept your striking in time. The hammer spider was really interested in the expert technique. He was closeup viewing the - "Brian Brazeal signature Spider Rounding Hammer" in first hand action. Happy Trails, Will
Great Video. Ever since I saw your older videos of working with clay, about a year ago, I have kept a couple of bars of clay laying on my desk at work. When ever I need to take a break I practice forging something on edge of my desk using a big, like 2" across, aluminum bolt as a hammer. Has gotten me a few strange looks from coworkers.
'the hex roll' @ 1:32... forms a little notch as you roll in. I'm going to try that. Thanks again for your videos. I'm trying to learn some techniques to make things a little easier. A spider jumps off the anvil onto the hammer at 8:08!
I would love more knife videos from you! Most videos do almost all the work at the grinder instead of at the anvil! If I could request something, it would be to see how you would set a plunge line that curved toward the tip of the blade and or a recurve knife bevel! I'm having a hard time finding someone do that on the anvil.
I use a set hammer and a striker to forge the plunge line. you can also get pretty good with free hand edge on edge blows on the near side, but you will miss sometimes. The curves are dependant on how you set your point to start with and how you forge the blade taper and/or the spine.
+Brian Brazeal . That sounds great! I've tried creating that plunge line so many times on scraps with different techniques and tools, but that sounds pretty solid, I'll have to give it a go on the next one! Thanks for the advice I'm gonna write all that down haha!
Stephan Murphy-Schmidt I've got a lot more content. I just don't have too many people with the time to film. Maybe when I go to Kenya they will film everything because we don't speak the same language, and they are allowing a lot more time to learn.
With the bird in background sound, no anvil noise , it is a video of relaxation for blacksmith......Thank you Brian !!! I am totally relaxed .....

hahaha the spider trying to get on your hammer killed me! oh and great video, I'm learning lots.

The jumping spider at 8:00 stole the video from that bird.

brilliant .what a fuel saver
Just getting into Blacksmithing. I find your videos informative. Keep them coming.
Peter Brownrigg I have rarely had anyone to film while I'm forging. maybe when I go to Kenya they will be able to document more of this.
Alec Steele talks about your teaching a lot on his channel. Do you still give classes?
This video really clicked for me. Thanks
great video! your the blacksmithing pioneer of TH-cam Brian, best of luck in Kenya and thank you for teaching everyone you have.
Love the clay demos, great idea
I enjoyed the video, the bird and the spider. Thank you.
keep em comin brian,again very well shot
'the hex roll' @ 1:32... forms a little notch as you roll in. I'm going to try that.
Thanks again for your videos. I'm trying to learn some techniques to make
things a little easier.
A spider jumps off the anvil onto the hammer at 8:08!

Heaven

That spider hahaha i like he jumped at 9:11

I thought I invented clay forging 😆
The gods are to blame.
Just wondering when there will be some new content? I love your videos!

Nice demmo.pat from Belgium 🔪
sounds like a San Diego Mockingbird to me
That's the softest steel I've ever seen! Does it hold an edge? ;-) seriously, love the idea of practicing with clay....
Hey does anyone know what that bird is? Here is Australia it would be an indian myna. But in the US??
That is a mocking bird
"tang", "Ricasso" what does research words mean?
👍👍👍
That knife might be a bit soft, don't you think? ;-)
landypaule just a bit. Coil spring makes a good knife, and starting with round stock is a lot more efficient than flat bar.
nice
Zomg... that bird.......
..... and that spider..... What the hell is going on here?
It would seem you're the nature whisperer.
I really look forward to your videos. However my old ears can't hear a word you say.
i don't think anyone could.
Those birds tho.
Love 'em!
I could not watch that video. That bird was way too loud
Got a volume control?
This is a 10 minute vid of a grown man playing with clay
No videos for 10 months is he dead ? i know being vastly over rated is a serious condition but i didnt realize it was fatal.
I'm not dead. I did not take any of those videos. I'm the guy with the hammer in his hand not the camera.
"Vastly overrated..."? You obviously have no idea who Brian is, or the skill he possesses.
from a guy called Mr hobby time lol ouch im so hurt.
Edgunsuk Ignorance
brandon edwards fuckwit , i dont see your point .
"tang", "Ricasso" what does research words mean?
Sas du Plessis if you Google it, that will explain it better than I can.
