dang it, I wish I could go back in time! my grandfather had a set of these in the red shed. he wasn't around to tell us what they were, and my dad didn't care to know that life. what a rotten shame. I miss my Poppa; thanks for taking me back AND explaining the weird looking silverware, lol!
Dave! Saw Dirty Rotten Survival. Awesome job, love to watch you work man. And I didnt know you were from Ohio! Cool. Keep up the great work.
Instead if the pig tail why not draw it out to a long taper and turn the tip in at a 90 degree angle? Same principle as a rat spear and ice chisel of the 18th century. Have built several two prong gigs like that for carp. Just a thought.
im pretty sure dave is psychic XD this is the 11th time in the past 2 month hes talked about or made something ive been needing help on or i have been wanting to make .this is one of the best youtube channels ever ,thank you dave for sharing your ideas,creations and knowlage in these videos ,it helps all us out alot
Thanks for another great lesson
can you do a fishing Arrow next?
Love your blacksmithing videos Dave! Hope I´ll get to learn that art soon :`)
+German Survivalist (Dante Briefs) I am not trying to put Dave down, but I am a novice blacksmith, and I have done almost all the stuff he has made. Although I have NOT mastered the art of forge welding. The rest is pretty easy. Good luck in your efforts.
I always look coward to your blacksmithing videos, I find smithing really interesting. keep it real
forward*
Cool video! Does your propane tank ever freeze up? Mine freezes up after only about an hour or two of forging.
+Matt Behnke All the time I keep 2 handy so I can switch them out
That's a great idea.
Good work as usual. Fine items.
Would it be possible to have a video of using the gig and cooking the frog?
Also, would it make more sense not to have spikes in a line, but a triangular pattern? I can think of a few reasons why not, but would like to hear people's opinions.
For those of you trying to smith this, a small advice. For David is probably comes as a second nature, so I have not heard him comment on it, but being a semi-competent (very not competent, but learning) smith I keep running into the issue:
When you split the iron into small spikes, having thinner "rods", it takes much less time to heat. Please be careful because if you overheat the small spikes you risk having them crumple and flake/fall off the iron. In that case you have restart the entire process.
Out of curiosity I've tried to salvage the iron that was overheated and found out its pretty hard. Even if you let it cool, or cool it with water, the damage is already done, and the iron will be weaker the next time you try to pound it.
I don't know what the frogs are like down there but up here in Springfield Township the legs are extra-large, Like chicken legs.

You got mad skills brotha! I'd like to see you get back into some archery videos. I just got into traditional archery about 4 months ago and iv learned a lot from your archery playlist and I often refer to it from time to time thanks bud take care.
I smell some At the Water's Edge videos coming. Hope you can get down to the water soon, those are some of my favorite videos.
Semper Fi
Wonder if you could make a socket tang by forge welding a piece of solid barstock an inch inside a piece of steel tube, then flare the tube out a bit with that bick you hold in the post vice?
I don't think that rebar would harden, unless you have some really high carbon rebar.
ha. even though I know the actual time between him brushing the metal off and sticking it in the vise to finish the length is enough to cool the metal, the video shows it in seconds and my heart jumped thinking he is burning his fingers off. ha
Great job ! keep up the hard work . ps. my dad and me always used fish gig works great for realy large bull frogs.
That gathering looks like a great time, will not be able to make it this year because of some life issues but my daughter really wants to get things together so her and I can make it next year. Nice work on the gig.
very impressive gig Dave. Thankyou for another great video brother.
be half of all of the people to all the survivalist who are teaching thank you for all you do
I think rebar has so little carbon in them that they are not going to harden. You can quench it but it does not harden.
its nice seeing your books come to life, thanks Dave
#centaurforge
Thanks for all the valuable info Dave.
how fast do you go through one tank of propane on that forge
Great videos brother keep it up.
p.s., I watched all your Dual Survival episodes! Lots of super info; you're a great teacher!
+Roxyie Curone they where the best dude's in that show
Nice! I was wondering, could you use store bought pine tar for the black drawing salve?
+WoodsyTech Yes you can
Thanks for the great video!
Good to see more crafting vids
Thank you for the time you take for all these videos. I really appreciate the information that you share with us.
Greetings from Romania!
Is rebar really hardenable?
show us how to make the socket
Nicely done.ZZ.
cool piece of kit
u er vere gud blecksmoothe
Does that gig screw on tight enough to not need securing with cordage?
+jorgamund07 'm sure it would hold tight as long as the point of the stick/pole that your using is cut right which should not be an issue.
I noticed he had a few that were to slide on,I have a few that I drilled a hole through for a nail etc works great.
where you get your forge at
Great Video !!!
deyv amcaaaaaaaaa :D
nice txs

Who sells that rounding hammer that you use?
+mattbaker333 Liam Hoffman
+wildernessoutfitters...cool thanks!
Why does he bang the hammer on the metal after he hits the steel?
I'm far from an expert, but I've been told that bouncing the hammer off the anvil gives it some upward momentum so the blacksmith doesn't have to use quite as much strength every time he lifts it. Considering how many times a day a blacksmith lifts a hammer, after a day of pounding steel even a small bit of help would be appreciated.
Grandpa the Grey That does make sense because the one time I tried to smith something at a buddies house it was really freaking hard.
Who gives thumbs down?
great idea/ vid - like the way your mind works
