Instantly liked just cause of the stroopwafel can! That was a nice surprise! Just one comment on the pronunciation, it's just a regular American sounding single O 😊. Thanks for the video, I am just starting off with my home shop and am definitely going to get some beeswax and see if I can make a batch of that paste.
Thanks for the work you did, and the side-by-side comparisons. Since Johnson's stopped making their paste wax, which has been my go-to finish for outdoor stuff for years, I've been experimenting with other finishes, but haven't found one I really like yet. Johnson's turns the steel a nice black, and even the blacksmithing paste can't quite do that.
@steelforestweldingandforge That's what I've been using. Problem is, the surfaces have to be pretty much sanded to 400 to get the effect I am looking for, and that is problematic on anything other than a dead flat surface.
Very interesting and informative. I have been blacksmithing a few years now and this is the first time I have heard of blacksmith paste. I think I will give it a try.

Glad you enjoyed it. If your looking for a black finish and protective coat, you could try some of the cold bluing solutions possibly.

I’m literally making this now and referencing your video. Awesome job.
Glad you got some info, let's us know how it turned out! :)

Thank you, glad you enjoyed.
How have these flared since? Would love to learn how they differ in WI’s rusty winters!
Haven't looked at them in a while I'm kind of curious too. I'll let you know
