- A quick demo of how I made a simple strap hinge and drive in pin. #GaryHuston #Blacksmithing #Farrier #ASMR #Horseshoeing #Fabrication #Ironwork #Hoofcare #welder #repairs #horse #farriery #engineering
Now THIS is why I got into blacksmithing. Making useful yet beautiful handmade items for use around the farm. Gary, you just gave me yet another project! This will work perfectly on fence gates and stall doors. With a little modification, it'll work for my barn doors as well.
And the stuff you make will last longer than mass produced crud, and if it breaks, you can always make another/repair it :-)
Gary, I needed to make a hinge loop and couldn't remember which way to bend the bevel edge so that the end lay flush on the long arm. I recalled your video and went back for a refresher. Now I can remember to "put the sharp edge toward the inside of the curl"! Thanks for a very simple and well done instructional video. Even though the video is four years old, it still holds it's value. Bravo.
Thanks Gary for the Strap hinge tutorial. I have some hinges to forge for a friend and I needed a memory jog. Your video gave me the insight. I also read in a recent video that you've been under the weather. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
Kindest Regards

Very interesting video. I have a number of these same hinges in my barn which dates back at least 150 years. Nice to see the techniques haven't changed. Kudos
Awesome demo! I like the rivet method of making the pin.
Just reviewing a few techniques for hinges for the coming Agricultural fair. This is quite a useful and simple way to do a pin hinge. Well done Gary!
Nice job. Quick and easy. I find these hold downs work better when used in the tighter pritchel hole, as opposed to the hardy hole. Especially on twin bick anvils as we have them on the mainland. Keep up the good work and thanks for your videos!
This is useful and practical! Thanks!
Nice work Gary. Thanks for the video sir.
Good work as usual Gary. This is an excellent video, as it showed so many smithing techniques, the use of appropriate tools and even demonstrated that you should think about what you are going to do when the iron is in the fire. You should punch holes more often. Very quick and accurate!
Had to have a little laugh, when things started going belly up. The hold down not behaving, then dropping the hammer and piece. Nice to know the more experienced do this as well.
Recently said 'give it some beans' at work, so you are influencing me in more than one way. haha. Cheers.
Functional work just what I like 👍
Nice work Gary.
Lovely job. Thanks
great video! love your work Gary
Thanks, another lesson under my belt - much appreciated. Don't forged items look fantastic compared to mass produced equivalents!
another good one Gary, thanks
Your "Hold Down" works fine. Just hit it towards the front to lock, back to release.
ya ,you say simple..to you because you have a lot of skill and knowledge...nice to watch you work..best wishes..Bill
Great videos Gary. Im hoping that using your technique of using the steel block with the hole drilled in it to refine that shoulder on the pin will save me some filing time.
Nice job and yes, I did enjoy it. I find that acupuncture helps my old body out when things get too rough. Perhaps you have someone near that does it and you will try it.
Good job man, Love the videos.
beautiful work thanks for sharing sir
Very nice.
very nice work.. great help. i am an amateur blacksmith and got a job yesterday to make 44 of these for windows which will be installed in a house being renovated. one other blacksmith said he charges 20 euros for each set (hinge+pin) do you think its a good price? how much would you charge for this.? without the circle at the back and a much simpler pin just a round bar tapered and then bent to form the pin. thanks in advance
Not sure what you mean by "without the circle at the back" but sounds a fair price to me. It really depends on lots of factors, like your overheads, do you have cheap steel, do you have to do it all by hand or have you got a power hammer? I
wouldn't even consider it myself, too much like hard work!
garyhuston no i don't have a power hammer, i forged everything by handand there where some mistakes even because sometimes i was getting too tired so after doing all of them once i had to do another run and correct any imperfefections. at the end yeah it was too much work to do by hand. but its a source of income this hinges for the old renovated houses here in cyprus so now i am thinking if i will continue doing this.what do you think about that dillema? do you take big orders or not?
thanks for the tip.
nice work what tip of steel do you use?.when you heat it up just rite it looks like your playing with putty
Just ordinary mild steel.
very good.
do blacksmiths make screws, like for doors? because I have not seen a video about it
zimmy606 Good question, I haven't seen any either!
I believe that is a half-Penny snub end scroll tool?
What problems are you having with your arms? I tore both rotator cuffs back when I was in my early 40's and they still trouble me somewhat now in my mid 50's. Getting old sucks.
Not sure in medicals terms but excruciating pain in my right shoulder, have trouble lifting it higher than my elbow. It is relieved somewhat by manipulation from my chiropractor. Left one has extreme numbness in my fingers which is aggravated by laying on it so can't sleep very well, I fall asleep on my back then roll onto my arm which wakes me when the pain becomes too much to bear.
I actually have an appointment with a doctor tomorrow morning to try and sort the left one as it has become unbearable!
Oh, too bad. I bet he will recommend surgery to clean out the muscle tissue. It's sort of like combing gum out of hair. Just remember to do whatever physical therapy they tell you to do without fail. Shoulders are too important to mess around with. Especially when you make your living with them. Best of luck to you.

Thanks, we'll see what they say tomorrow!
