Thanks for the video the techniques you show for correcting little imperfections really helped me get a better looking end product always like watching your videos cheers Curtis
Very cool, you are a good hand. I shoe horses and use a forge and anvil everyday but not much artsy stuff. I am going out to give this a go. I plan to make a trellis for my daughters wedding and your horseshoe heart might just be what I use to fill the trellis. Thank you!
Those are beautiful. You said something that I try to do and teach others. " don't give up till it is done" I see a lot of stuff people make that just needed more time and a few more hits with the hammer and it would have been done. Don't quit until it is done.
Looks brilliant, I can't do the things you do but I love watching your videos, hopefully one day I can get into it and make things like yourself. Keep up the excellent work.
Very Cool! Chandler!I finally got my own shop up and running and hammered out a couple of hearts for Valentine Day presents. Actually several hearts because the first ones were pretty lousy. Hard to get the symmetry. Welded on three hammered legs and made counter trivets for hot pans to emulate fireplace trivets from the 18th century. Enjoy your videos and artistry. Now to find some horse shoes.
I love this project ,started doing one today but had to break off to repair the anvil with hard facing rods as I dident have a sharp edge on anvil so a job with a job ,will grind anvil up tomoro then maybe try again .keep em coming ,ant from Wales UK
Nice work, going to make one (without the heart) for a friend of mine who has a ranch in North Dakota, bottom center I'll add a rams head on top with a twisted shaft and a hook on bottom for a hat, ought to be fun, thanks for the tip on the horse heads.
+Chandler Dickinson about how much do you sell these for and how much time does it take you thanks for the vids i really enjoy them blacksmithing has always interested me as I love the idea of hand making things it's a lost art and congratulations on your new shop I know you'll do well
Thank you so much Chandler! You know I've been looking forward to this video for awhile and now I can't wait till the next time I get to do some forging cause this is without a doubt my next project. As a side note, I recently got a blacksmithing tip from a friend of mine you might be interested in: harbor frieght sells end nippers (item #42266) that are fairly useless at their intended job, but can be easily turned into a good pair of tongs with a bit of forge work. My friend made a pair of wolf-jaw tongs with them that work just as good as the pair I bought Blakcksmith Depot.
That kinda hurt me too when you said your anvil sucks! You could probably use some hard surfacing rod like a frog mang rod and then have machined down. Just keep pounding. I really enjoy your video's. Thanks! Dave
Beautiful work. I have a question for you, sir. I do a bit of hobby welding, including horseshoe designs. I want to be able to straighten shoes for making letters. I assume that you use a forge for heating the shoes in the work that you do. Being that a forge would be a hefty investment for my purpose, could you recommend a different method for getting the metal hot enough to be malleable? Would a propane torch for instance produce enough heat/ heat enough of the shoe? (I weld with flux-cored wire and do not have acetylene for heating) Eventually I may get to the point where I want to shape the metal the way you are with hand tools and the anvil. The horse heads are really nice looking.
WantCoffee99 Check out my bucket forge video... You will save in propane what you spend in the forge easily.... Coal or charcoal though if you can find it coal would be cheaper. I am sure you can get it hot enough with propane... you probably want it atleast red hot to straighten them. Bucket forge is a pretty easy way to go...
nice to see you uploading vids again. i been making skull head knives out of spikes. it was fun at first till i got better at doing it. now i get too pissed off when i cant get something to do what i want it to do. i think i do better on my first attempt at anything. Then when i try to replicate shit falls all to hell.
chadderall eh as with many things in life the firsts are the best! lol.. I have encountered the same problems but it shows me that that is where i need to focus practicing... A good smith can repeat! I think....lol

Rob G I have felt really badly ever since saying it!!!!! I love my anvil and she has been really good to me. But she doesn't have any good edges left. Probably been around since the late 1800's and has seen many good times... I felt so bad about saying she sucks that I took a little time and dressed up a couple spots on her table. I still feel bad...lol

Hi Just in case you wonder if anyone still care about You Your Ways and Work. Yes I think you where defenetly a plus to the blacksmith community .Didn't found any to match Chandler Dickinson .
I love it dude. I make a lot of horseshoe art. I typically use my oxy acetylene torch for making my heart's. I do believe I am in need of a forge. I also cut mine in half and then weld the halves together. I'm on Instagram @ Jim Rodgers and underthehoodwelding.
I watched you +Chandler Dickinson make one of these in Oneida yesterday at the craft show. Great work! And I will definitely check out your store at www.etsy.com/shop/McFinleysCabin !
You are a very talented blacksmith and artist. Got to be dedicated to be forging outside in the snow. Thank you for the demo.
It's good to see you're back to making this art again
Thanks for the video the techniques you show for correcting little imperfections really helped me get a better looking end product always like watching your videos cheers Curtis
gorgeous. Lovein the older videos Chandler. Dont get me wrong the new ones blow me away, but love seeing the progression
Chandler, I've watched and enjoyed MANY of your videos and enjoy them very much. Keep up the good work.
Just watched this! Absolutely amazing. I do horseshoe art but nothing even close as yours. Great job!
Its 3am here, so I probably wont even remember watching this, but let me tell you something, Im really glad to see your work again!
Thanks for the video! You show all the steps so others can forge one too. Good job!
Very cool, you are a good hand. I shoe horses and use a forge and anvil everyday but not much artsy stuff. I am going out to give this a go. I plan to make a trellis for my daughters wedding and your horseshoe heart might just be what I use to fill the trellis. Thank you!

Beautiful craftsmanship Sir.
Those are beautiful. You said something that I try to do and teach others. " don't give up till it is done" I see a lot of stuff people make that just needed more time and a few more hits with the hammer and it would have been done. Don't quit until it is done.
I'm glad to see you back at it!
Well done Chandler and thank you for your time and videos. Great stuff!!

Beautiful done and as well important ,very well explained and demonstrated, love your performance, thanks so much.
THIS IS SO COOL I LOVE THE FIRE INTRO
think about the old Harbor Freight anvil. i like it. The change did the trick. You are a true artist.
Nice work, going to make one (without the heart) for a friend of mine who has a ranch in North Dakota, bottom center I'll add a rams head on top with a twisted shaft and a hook on bottom for a hat, ought to be fun, thanks for the tip on the horse heads.
I think it looks awesome! Very cool. Wish I could learn to blacksmith... maybe once I get my own property instead of living in an apartment.
On The Balcony With Kat Keep it on the todo list!

JDTN1985 your friend might have got the idea from my video about making tongs from HF pliers...lol
it doesn't suck, gotta love a coleslaw., but you have to hunt an edge :) Thanks for the project idea!
That kinda hurt me too when you said your anvil sucks! You could probably use some hard surfacing rod like a frog mang rod and then have machined down. Just keep pounding. I really enjoy your video's. Thanks! Dave
Dave Pelfrey I hate the touch her up too much... She's been around a while... Don't want to take away from that.
Welcome back
So did you just scrub it with a wire brush to clean it?
Darin Humble Wire brushing it hot helps alot and then i took it to the wire wheel on the bench grinder and also a little time on a buffing wheel.
WOW my sister would love one of those!

You said your anvil sucks in the video....I'd be so happy with that anvil
Rob G I have felt really badly ever since saying it!!!!! I love my anvil and she has been really good to me. But she doesn't have any good edges left. Probably been around since the late 1800's and has seen many good times... I felt so bad about saying she sucks that I took a little time and dressed up a couple spots on her table.

Amazing.

MAKE ME A KUKRI BLADE!

Just an idea, i bet if you made a similar type of design, only make em two dolphins, they'd sell like hotcakes.
Do dolphins wear shoes?
