Blacksmithing - Forging An Herb Chopper

- In my quest to make sure I have products that are affordable and useful in contrast to the ornamental and novelty type things, here is my latest addition to the product line. From a file comes an herb chopper

The fact you're making what I see as "genuine" products as opposed to mass produced plastic products is highly commendable, love it!
how could you neighbors not love you? You're such a quiet neighbor!
ive seen alot of blacksmithing videos and i must say i like how you show and explain what you are doing each step
Beautiful craftsmanship. I love that you don't clean everything up to a cliche mirror finish...you leave your pieces rough, beautiful, and with loads of character. Awesome!
The lady's probably watching you for the same reason we're watching you.
You're making awesome stuff with fire and steel.
David Buschhorn Perhaps... but she has been watching me longer than I have been blacksmithing...lol
Chandler Dickinson Make a 12 foot high electric fence with barbed wire.
I dig your stuff, and your philosophy. I myself am a craftsmen of sorts ... cars, bikes, knifes, and what ever else tickles my artistic sense. The world needs more people that think like you. I wish you prosperity, and good health my friend.
Hello from a new subscriber. I want to thank you very much for all of your time you spend making these awesome videos. You are one of the best teachers online IMO.
Enjoy your videos very much. Your craft and your insight focus your ideas from thought to metal smoothly. Each piece reflects your soul and spirit which shine through your art. Thanks for all of it, your talent is mucky appreciated.
Well done sir and you are right about the products in this world it's gone to crap it also amazes me the amount of good reusable materials people just toss out such sad times,but again you very talented keep the great work we need more folks like you!
hey man i am seriously fascinated this is thank you so much for your knowledge. i didn't even know herb choppers existed before this video and now i want one and i shall forge it
I really liked how you explained what you were doing as you did it. That was very enlightening for me. I want to take up black smithing so that me and my son can do it together one day and so that I can pass on things to him that will last!
Nice finish product, thanks for sharing.
A shop would be nice, however I enjoy the nostalgia of blacksmithing outdoors using what ever I find that will heat up and bend.
very beautiful I enjoyed watching the video I'm not a black smith but I enjoy seeing beautiful things like this made
This is one of those things I dream about finding at a flea market. Such a cool project, would love to have cutlery made out of old industrial tools and equipment.
man i love your personality... just a high hopes kind of guy who actually seems real... keep up the great work
Great project, and really first class work as always Chandler, you've given me a lot of ideas for projects. Thanks for your time and patience with us Newbies.
I just rewatched this again after a couple years, great job!
i love your smithing videos. i use them as reference on my own projects using a claw hammer and a wood burn stove. needless to say, you provide a great amount of inspiration and drive.
You have the absolutely most badass anvil.
I look forward to seeing your blacksmith gloves and i love your work your a really talented craftsman keep it up. Thanks Gwil
Nice video!
You remind me of my grandfather, (QDEP), who could do anything with a piece of metal or wood except make it sing. You have that smooth expertise which comes only from years of experience, and you make it look easy.
And I totally agree with what you said about how the world is turning to plastic. I was born between Sputnik and the Bay of Pigs, and the changes in this world within my lifetime have been both enormous and terrifying.
Excellent Chandler, beautiful! You make it look SOOOO easy!
Excellent, this is amazing. More items should be made this way and pushed into high street shops!!!!
Nice work friend a lost art that is leaping back kudos.
Excellent! By watching You I can learn a lot. Great video, great product that people will use. Thank you.
Great work there's nothing like custom work. Thanks for posting.
I like the way you work and explain as you go, great videos Chandler. Thank you :)
I am brand new to blacksmithing and I just discovered your channel. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for that video. I don't know why anyone would of disliked that? It makes me want to start forging, if I had the cash.
always a pleasure watching your videos,
I just saw your channel today and Ive been watching your videos all day
my friend this is a piece of art!!!
simple yet useful, and something one could have and use for generations.
A joy to watch. Thank you.
I have only watched a few videos, howerever the content is awesome. I am a trying blacksmithing, and it is great to see someone who has done it before. keep up the great work!
What a wonderful project, thank you for sharing this with us.
I have watched a few of your vids and you have serious skills. Recently i realized i have to take some of the "scrap" metal laying around as the wife calls it and do something with it and now I got a few great concepts to work off of as well as my own twists so for that sir I'm greatfull thank you! :)
That lady just likes seeing a rugged man swinging a hammer round
Was that a penis joke?
krokodile dundee If you want it to be
***** lol XD
+Reece Morgan that lady saw a strange beared man making knifes in the bushes and filming it ...hahahaha lol he should go and explain her that he is not a psycho or something ...she probably are coutious and she toke some pictures just in case lol ....I'm not saying anything hahaha but this could look like a weird situation for someone who don't know anything about youtube blacksmiths.
+Ckyntosh I thnk it was more along the lines of "my neighbor is a blacksmith? that's so freaking cool i wanna take a couple pictures"
Chandler Dickinson That's really beautiful. I hope your customer appreciates it.
Your videos are great! Honestly, if I lived next door I'd be up in the trees trying to take some pictures!
A very interesting project-- I really like the simplistic, rustic, hard duty look that you put on that. Something every good blacksmith should make for his mother :-))
Dear Chandler, thanks for the video. If I may suggest the leftover file grooves can be used like a garlic shredder. They have a tool made of fired clay in the Mediterranean which is used to "grate" garlic cloves. You just pass the garlic back and forth on the grooves and it just goes like mush. Beautiful herb chopper, I would use every day for years! :)
Hi Chandler, I'm a long time viewer. I been forging for 2 years, I love you channel and videos, I forged alot of odd and random objects because of them, and i love how you re use stuff, I love reusing because of these videos. Great video. I made a couple of these, use them in cooking alot since I made them, not only for herbs, veges and meat as well. -Jake
Fantastic product. Well done!
That turned out great! Nice job!
I put a girl in my books who's a blacksmith.
This video solved a heartbreaking problem the main character had. He broke his knife off in an animal so now doesn't have his age-old, favorite pocketknife anymore.
Grace will forge him a new skinning knife out of a file :-)
THANK YOU!!!!
David Buschhorn Tre Cool!
i've watched you make the ram head and dragon head railway spike knives and this and i am impressed. I feel that Blacksmithing is a dying art, i hope it isnt. My great grandfather used to make the old school Iron Handcuff the UK police force used to use back in the day. Recently blacksmithing has interested me and i've enjoyed watching your videos.
Super cool as always Chandler. Good to see ya back. God bless.
That blitz through those dandelions!
the sound of hammering metal is nice.
Agreed in fact it puts me to sleep
Happy to see you working in the sunshine
It's really cool to watch the tapering process sped up. Nice video!
reminds me of a dragon and it looks amazing items like these just make me admire blacksmiths and their work since they are so simple but yet so beautiful.
Wonderful video - beautiful work, dude.
An amazing skill, fascinating to watch.
Very nice video! The chopper works very well!
Kind of hoping the woman next door is just a fan and not collecting evidence for a complaint maybe you should go say high and give her a free herb chopper that you have just done a video on for your new life adventure. Trust me it's good to have the neighbours support you rather than oppose you. Good video as usual
I feel the same ,,,,, you never what the person next door thinks until its to late......Pineknot Forge.
stuart glenn Can't do much if it's on his property, and within normal noise hours. Generally before 10pm(in Aus) is kosher, but sundown is generally when it's time to reduce the noise(out of respect)
dude if i lived behind you i would only want to watch i would want to come over and learn and watch some cools stuff being made.
Wow, just incredible! Great work!
great thanks for the new ideas this will keep me busy for a evening.
Very awesome! Love watching your vids.
So cool. Just found your channel and I can't get enough of your videos. I checked out your Etsy store, too. Very cool stuff. It has a new home in my bookmarks folder. I'm keepin my eye out for a knife or two for sale!
Great work ethic, great concept and really cool execution! Personally, I'm all about utility and functionality. Oh, and I laughed out loud at the beginning when you leaned in, lowered your voice and tried to get a shot of your neighbor looking in! Great stuff!
Really cool man. You're a real inspiration when it comes to blacksmithing. You definitely make me want to try it out.
Some day, perhaps. I'm running a woodshop and that's enough for the time being.
Thanks for sharing, once again.
Got to say one of my favorite blacksmiths.
:D
I enjoyed the video and appreciate the ethos. Good luck and sunny days to you.
John
wow my mom would love to have that,chandler great job love all your vid thumbs up.
The file makes the chopper look like a fish, it's awesome
Very nice project, I may have to try this one myself. I also can't wait to see what you come up with as far as the gloves, I go through them pretty quickly as well.
nicely done... this is how i learned it and good to see, that people in the US do it in exactly the same way^^
wonderful craftsmanship great video
This was a good one to watch glad I found it thanks!!!
Can't wait to see the gloves. I was going to comment on the state of your gloves in your videos.
I had those same gloves...they lasted me 1 session of my beginning blacksmithing experience.... ill def buy your gloves man.
Very practical item. good job.
great video as always, very relaxing.
love this !!! When i saw your messed-up-gloves i was attracted completly ... same here with me and my gloves and pants ...anyway ... beautiful honest craftmanship ... thanks a lot for taking the time to upload and share this
mate - nothing beats utilitarian products. That looks awesome, I would totally use one of those and am keen to make one when one of my files gives up on life.
Nice piece, man. I liked it!
I am very happy I found your channel good sir.
Nice Chandler, looking forward to your return, whenever that may be! A lot of us missing you man!
Thx alot for making these videos! Great entertainment. Keep up the good work :)
Looks Awesome great job
That's really beautiful!
I like your view on the way the world's going.
Like the idea about the block of wood to protect the edge when rolling the blade over the tang. I like WVO for a quench. Non toxic, free, and provides some rust protection. Pretty, rustic and very functional.
well done my friend! will definitely be making one of these in the forge soon
real nice, like the rough file look. all good. very hard edge is the way to go for a slicer
Awesome video. Keep em coming brother !
I like your way thinking sir.
Definitely subscribed!! You are a master craftsman my friend. I've been inspired to get out there, and make something of my own. Awesome stuff man!
wow im impressed you did that in an hour. pretty cool product too.
It looks amazing! Also, I too have some nosy neighbors. They stare at me while I mow the lawn.
Thats pretty awsome. I would love to see a nice skinning blade made like that. When I skin a deer I like a nice long rounded blade with a good hard edge. The same shap with a 6 inch blade that has a good piercing tip in one end. That handle and shape would be perfect for skinning just bigger
This is really cool...nice job
Another excellent video tutorial my friend! I found a way to remove the forging scale. Soak the item in vinegar overnight and the scale rubs off easily with a small wire brush or scotch brite pad. It does take some time but when you do a run of several items soak them over night then clean up and do your finish work. Saved me some time on a run of several neck knives. Another thing you can do during forging is put a thin coat of water on your anvil and the scale will pop right off as you forge. I tried it and it works. It only cools the very outer surface and scales cant hold against the shock. Thanks again Chandler, Im gonna make a few of these as gifts. By the way, bed frames make great little blades. Try them out and you can find them all over the place.
Dude you give black smithing a good name
Very good looking and practical, reminds me of my last knife making video, because of the shape of the blade and the filesteel! :)
Keep up the great videos. I would totally buy your blacksmiths glove.
You're the man! I would love to learn how to forge
