- In Pro Tip #38, I show how to forge cleanly. These tips show you how to achieve a cleaner surface finish as you're forging steel.
COMMENT: Do you have additional tips or clean forging?
Hope you enjoyed this video on forging cleanly!

This is the exact thing I've been obsessing over lately in my work.
Great video and thank you for sharing your knowledge.
My son and I just found your channel. Thank you for the great videos!
Geat video, thanks for giving so many tips to beginners like myself, verry helpful!
Great video! Very helpful, thoughtful, and I will use this in my workshop.
Thanks for all the great tips. Value added for those of us that are rank beginners no doubt. I for 1 definitely appreciate it alot and couldn't possibly begin to get tis all on my own...this type of information only comes w experience or from a teaching heart!
Blessed day sirSir, Crawford out
Very good Roy, not many video's out there about clean forging.

Thank you and I really appreciate that! Hope the video help God bless
I really love that pointing finger! Did you make that for educational purposes? I'm a great fan of your channel and I am learning a lot from it.
The pointer finger was made for a forging tutorial on TH-cam :-) you can find the video on it if you search the channel for "forging a hand" glad you enjoyed the video and are a fan of the channel :-) God bless
The only time I brush right out of the fire is if there's crud sticking to it otherwise pound n pop the scale off, blow it off as you forge and brush the work like you describe, when done and cooled off then to the motorized buffer and apply finish
Definitely good information, good practices to get into
very informative love the explanAtions
Great video, and thanks for going over the heats and what to do in them. I first heard about controlling heat for better work on Brian Brazeal's video on making a fire rake, and it never occurred to me prior. Could you make a more in depth video on the topic, with examples as well? All the way from controlling welding heats, scrolling and twisting, all the way down to the black heat again. Bit of a hole in the TH-cam knowledge bank I think.
Something I noticed is that you didn't chase the piece all over the anvil. You had one spot where you forged, the spot that was clean because the scale had blown outward. I end up chasing the piece everywhere and that only introduces the scale back into the surface of the work. Thanks! Great tips.
Gotta practice this when this storm passes.
Thank you very helpful explanation.
Great tips. A heavier work piece would have demonstrated what your try to replicate with the scale.
I always wondered if all that brushing i see being done was Necessary i see a number of folks brush as soon as it comes out the they hammer it.
I might be wrong about this because I am new to blacksmithing and don't even own a proper brush yet, but... I think the advantage to brushing regularly may be that it actually removes some of the sharp edges on the piece and in the finished product you end up with a smoother texture. This would be particularly useful if you have a sharp edge that is in an area of the piece where soft blows from the hammer to smooth the surface may deform the rest of the piece. That was at least my interpretation of the frequent brushing done by some of the blacksmiths that I've seen on TH-cam.
After the piece is done being shaped yes, also the kind of brush used. There is a good video called "cleaner forging" or something to to effect where they go into brushing extensively. Edit: this one, th-cam.com/video/-6IWilfMxos/w-d-xo.html
Hey Roy thanks for the vid. Long time no talk. Just curious when doing Forge welding should I be brushing in between Heats to get the any debris or Borax off? And I'm more less specifically talking about Damascus with multiple types of metals which together.
Did you make the black ring?
