I apologize for the lack of audio in the early portion of the video. Purely an editing error on my part and I didn't catch mu mistake before uploading. The normal audio returns at 01:51
This migth have been a happy mistake! Maybe putting down to 30% of the hammer volume and up when you are speaking would make easier to view while using headphones... thanks for keeping the effort up and sharing! How can a guy in Colombia become a patreon?
I actually do that now, otherwise you wouldn't be able to hear the narrative at all. You should be able to simply sign up on the Patreon page. If they have regional restrictions, I don't know of any way around it.
I agree. The wife would prob not mind the hammering volume down abit . Would make it more enjoyable for persons not used to the full hammering experience. Give them s chance to warm up to the real volume. Thanks for all you do for blacksmith journeymen. Hobby and full time.
I was gonna say felt a little weird I actually thought that something was wrong with my computer however we are hopefully all human and we do make mistakes it’s just about learning from them love the video also hope you are doing well and keep up the good work
Love your videos John. For more than two years now, as long as I’ve been blacksmithing, I’ve looked forward to every Sunday morning to catch your video. I love the way you allow us to see every step of the process and the use of various tools to do the same job. You continue to inspire me to create new projects as well as branch out to new skills. Thank you.
I agree, except for "easily". Watching a master do something makes it seem easy. I always thought watching Eric Clapton play guitar made guitar playing look easy. Huh! Forty years later I'm still a 3 chord wonder! I love watching your videos John. They're inspirational to a beginning blacksmith. Please don't ever stop.
That ending was so lovely, it made me forget how stressful it's been to want to make these things and not have the special tools to cut out the frustrating work!
I've stumbled across your channel and blow away by your editing. I can truly appreciate your time and effort put into the videos. Being a content creator myself know the frustrations when things don't always go right. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you for all the amazing videos. I've watched so many I've already forgotten. Made my first real "thing" today. A steak flipper meat hook from rebar. Squared, drawn out, rounded and hooked. I'm hooked. Tongs are next but a candle holder isn't far off. Thanks again!
That’s nice John, simple but elegant! Have almost 2 mt of 10x75 left over from another job I did so as soon as I get a few hours I’ll copy that, think it’s very nice!
If you knock this out in "a few hours", well, hat's off to you. Took me quite a bit longer than that, my only excuse is propane kept freezing up, and I had to run get my bottle filled before I could finish. (that and I'm pretty much a beginner, LOL)
@@BlackBearForge I understand why you do it. That’s definitely taking one for the team when you have a power hammer 10 feet away from you, probably feeling lonely 😩
I just finished this project (my wife's Christmas gift), you weren't kidding about the amount of 4# hammer time. I suspect I'll be building a power hammer before I attempt too many more of these. 😎 Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us. Have a very Merry Christmas.
I just noticed this video and I uallay look forward anytime after 4 AM but just received it.,Knowing you are doing your hobby BlackSmith Teaching part-time job and it your choice anytime you want a day off. Always enjoy your many projects and your my favorite teacher Sir, thanks 😊
Hello and good morning Kenny. We have a great amusement park near us in West Mifflin, PA, USA that is named Kennywood. Lots of wonderful memories with my folks, sisters and friends at that park. Cheers! Whipple
the wonderful body of work you have shared, the time and expense to do all that you have done more than erases any possable mistake or errror that you may have created. tyvm for allyou have shared.
Apologizing for my poor English. "I'm getting too old to this stuff" -- such a person like you will never be too old for this kind of stuff. You was a fire fighter. And fighters die hard. Keep doing a great job! With love from Mother Russia
When watching you, I now understand why that blacksmiths were regarded with awe in the iron age. They could take raw material (ore) and create something functional or beautiful with fire! Something from nothing! Love the videos. Thanks for sharing.
Good evening John Thank you for this Video. It was very teachfull and the candelholder looks great I wish you and Jannet a good 3. Advent and a happy New week Take care Yours Frank Galetzka
I love the simple but great design of the candle holder. 🙂 The best thing in blacksmithing is that you can give a new life to otherwise scrapped materials.
Very nice, John! ... I really love your videos. Creative, educational, and therapeutic! Thank you so much for sharing your talents, and your knowledge! God bless you! 🙏🏻😎👍🏻🔨🔥🗡️ ... Bob G. from Minnesota!
Hi There John simplistic yet elegant loved this project as I do so many others you've done in the past . Thanks for sharing you knowledge of the blacksmiths art so inspiring. Have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year🦘
Great project! One of my other favorites of your was creating candlestick holders out of pipe, and it's been one of my better projects, so can't wait to give this one a try as well!
And another great Video from you 👏 I really found time to build a Barbecue tong, but i don't think, i have any time left this year for working in my shop, farriers are a rare thing 😏 a merry Christmas time for everyone 🙋🏻♂️
Looks great John. You did a great job with your work and your video. Thanks for sharing with us. Great way to start the day!! Stay safe and keep having fun. Fred.🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻✋🏻✋🏻
Hallo John du hast ja eine wunderhübsche einfache und schöne Arbeit geleistet die mir sehr gefällt wünsche dir und deiner Familie schöne Weihnachten viele Grüße aus Deutschland
As always love the video! I was rewatching the safety videos and did not find any info on ventilation. Do you use more than the forge "hood"? If you covered it somewhere i apologize. Thank you, and thank you for all the videos!
I've never done any firging so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but are finished products like this "dirty"? As in your hands will get dirty from handling them? I'm a machinist by trade abd I know my hands can get dirty from just handling metal. Or is that what that paste wax finish is for?
Sorry John I feel like I'm always the one asking dumb questions. But is it possible to do like a "double headed rivet" so the body stands between the cup and the stand and is then peened inside the cup and underneath the stand with the body of the rivet between the two? Just a thought I had whilst watching you there

I really like the stock choice for this project. Just no substitute for mass.
Watching that four pounder made my tendinitis flare up 😂
I'm glad it didn't make mine flare up. At some point I just have to admit that I should swing a hammer that heavy anymore.

This went live at 5am my time just like they usually do, not sure why you couldn't see it at the regular time.
Always learn something new every time I watch your videos
Great work 👍👍👍
Thanks for not using a power hammer all the time, not hiding your mistakes and just for sharing all you do with us. Your a good guy, Happy Holidays!
Nice work John, wife loves that you have got rid of the hammering at first, then it came back, love the design. All the best from North Yorkshire, UK.

@@BlackBearForge I would like to have such a grandfather for myself. Such a strong, skillful man and excellent teacher. God bless you.
I liked the guitar finish. It gave the candle stand a Conquistador or early Mission feel to it.

Good evening John
Thank you for this Video.
It was very teachfull and the candelholder looks great
I wish you and Jannet a good 3. Advent and a happy New week
Take care
Yours Frank Galetzka
Some people get online to brag and profit, but the saints promote their craft to the uneducated and teach the joy of creation and imagination.
Thanks, but the truth is, if there wasn't enough profit to pay the bills, I wouldn't be able to devote the time to make videos.
Another fun video. Thanks John...
I love the simple but great design of the candle holder. 🙂

I can imagine that back in the day those candles look just like yours. Very clever and functional. Thanks for the journey back in time John.
Liked the new audio Nice hammer work Great finish
Beautiful
Hi There John simplistic yet elegant loved this project as I do so many others you've done in the past . Thanks for sharing you knowledge of the blacksmiths art so inspiring. Have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year🦘

Nice work
Very nice candle holder John , really like the design . :)
I really like that design, nice work John!!
Thanks for yet another great video!
Nicely done John, the audio glitch at the start worked out OK 👍🏻 very nice candle holder. 🕯
Great project! One of my other favorites of your was creating candlestick holders out of pipe, and it's been one of my better projects, so can't wait to give this one a try as well!
I like the design, simple and elegant. Thanks John.
That's beautiful John. Solid and substantial without looking heavy. 👍
Very nice! I like how you used the base as a bolster after cupping the dish. Very smart thinking!
And another great Video from you 👏
I really found time to build a Barbecue tong, but i don't think, i have any time left this year for working in my shop, farriers are a rare thing 😏 a merry Christmas time for everyone 🙋🏻♂️
Beautiful..
Thank you! 😊
@@BlackBearForge Your Welcome. Many Blessings.
Awesome video bud!
Excellent work 👍👍👍 . Thanks for sharing
very nice
I have a rat hole 460 and found the hold fast did not work well in the pritchel hole but it does work great in the hardy hole.
Very beautiful and classy project! Thanks John!
Glad you like it!
Seus trabalhos são belíssimos mestre ferreiro! Saudações do Brasil!
For just a moment, I hoped you'd put the candle on the still hot holder, and just watch it melt from the bottom up. Could be a fun short!
Looks great John. You did a great job with your work and your video. Thanks for sharing with us. Great way to start the day!! Stay safe and keep having fun. Fred.🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻✋🏻✋🏻
Many many thanks as usual.
Really nice, John. I don't do any metal work but I'm always fascinated at how you can turn out such great pieces from metal. Stay safe.
Bill
Thank you very much!
Another great project and a very well-made video. Thank you
Elegant design John. Would have fit my folks old house perfectly. The hardware was site forged.
great video!
Lots of inspiration from this project. Thank you sir.
Perfect!
As always beautiful work John!
Beautiful work!
I didn’t see you add your touch mark. Nice project. Nice and heavy. Solid.
I think that was shown at about the 05:00 minute mark
Around 5:00 on the timeline....
Great job bro keep it up
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
I had a lot to say But i will just say I love you man keep it up !
Awesome. Merry Christmas.

Like it...
Another great video John, love the design. Have a Merry Christmas

As always love the video! I was rewatching the safety videos and did not find any info on ventilation. Do you use more than the forge "hood"? If you covered it somewhere i apologize. Thank you, and thank you for all the videos!
Mostly I keep the shop pretty open so there is always fresh air.
The new hammer muffler quit working early on! 😃
Yeah, that whole thing was a complete mistake on my part
That raw hide hammer burning can't smell nice ? Great work John gave me so me great ideas.
Make a wooden mallet out of a suitable sized tree branch, shave off the bark! I made three; large, medium and small.
Parabéns 👏.
Beautiful design. Heavy chain work nice as hold fast.u got ur drone licence renewed???
Yes I did. It took about two hours online for the training and exam.
@@BlackBearForge wonderful. Now we can see beautiful drone videos.I love aerial views👍👍🔥🔥
Loved the video ! 👍👍👍 Merry christmas to you and your family! 😊
Merry Christmas
Where can I get a stealth hammer like that ?
Boy that was a huge editing mistake on my part. I don't think there is anything I can do to fix it once the video is live on TH-cam
👍👍
Rawhide vs Wood Mallet. Which do you prefer, and what are the pros and cons of each?
I like the iron bodied rawhide, they are heavy without being to large
Beautiful simple project. 1 small correction at the beginning, 12" = 305 mm.
I've never done any firging so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but are finished products like this "dirty"? As in your hands will get dirty from handling them? I'm a machinist by trade abd I know my hands can get dirty from just handling metal. Or is that what that paste wax finish is for?
can u show us how to to do a blacksmiths diamond
What kind of pen are you using to mark the metal?
Have you ever forged corners for steamer trunk style boxes? I was digging through your videos looking but never found anything
Yes, but it was long before I started doing videos. Its more of a folding operation.
@@BlackBearForge did you forge weld the corner that meets up in the middle of the fold?
@@waynemitchell8254 I don't think so. As I recall I just put the seem to the underside of the chest.
Sorry John I feel like I'm always the one asking dumb questions. But is it possible to do like a "double headed rivet" so the body stands between the cup and the stand and is then peened inside the cup and underneath the stand with the body of the rivet between the two? Just a thought I had whilst watching you there
I think would be very difficult as an intermediate head. However, it would be very easy to just add a spacer between the base and the dish.
@@BlackBearForge how would you attach a spacer? Forget weld? Tack welding?
@@paulcorrigan649 Just make it with a hole in it and pass the rivet through all three pieces securing them at the same time
What is it about that anvil that doesn’t work well with a holdfast?
Too tall at the pritchell hole. Holdfasts need more lean in them to jamb in place.
What kind of Pen is that on the metall?
Its a welders silver pencil. Available from most welding suppliers. I think I have a few listed in my Etsy shop at the moment.
Why is the sound cutting out when you're forging? At least at the start.....
👍👍👍👍☕☕🍩🍩
Here's a spring loaded hold down works for different sizes of stock:

Touchmark ?
05:00 But even if it isn't shown, that doesn't mean it didn't get done.
Yeah audio isn't the quality as you have been doing lately, Sir.
Still glad to have you
I'm sure someone has already mentioned that 12 inch is 304.8 mm not 360.
The lack of sound is so eerie.
Sorry, that was an editing mistake on my part
@@BlackBearForge just a statement, not a criticism.
No need for excuses.
