Anyone who has interest in BlackSmithing are so lucky to have you as a teacher and all your videos we in TH-cam are so lucky,
Thanks you John Switzer for your teaching Sir 👍
Cooking tools are always fun and useful. 👏👏👏
I’ve probably have made a bucket full of camp / bbq forks , but learned a new technique this morning , thanks ! Always room for improvement , that’s the nature of the craft
That was a super job on the Colonial Fork John. Thanks for sharing with us. Stay safe and have fun with your work. Fred.
Great timing...Just what I need to make for my Son...Thank you, Sir for helping me forge my way into and through Blacksmithing.
Glad to help
I like the tip about drawing out hte tines as one unit. I can never seem to get them the same when I draw them out separately.
Randomly found your channel about 2 months ago and your videos are so relaxing to me.
Glad you like them!
Thanks for the video John, that's a great looking bbq fork!
Thanks John, another great video thats back to basics anf short for a quick watch and a good reminder for us backyard blacksmiths.
Glad you enjoyed it
Another awesome video
I made a few forks, but great tip on starting tines as one piece.
Enjoyed, great project.
Good stuff.
Went on my first camping trip using all of my own forged cookware and knives last weekend, given that I only started smithing 6 months ago it a milestone for me! Wouldn’t have gotten here without your videos, thank you very much 🙏🔥
I always have trouble making the forks symmetrical. So I'll keep on practicing. Thanks for the inspiration Mr. John.
Thank you for doing this back to basics video. Greatly appreciate the explanations of the blows and why and how to do certain steps.
Glad it was helpful!
Interesting to watch even if you're not into blacksmithing.

Really enjoy these short videos , It's amazing how much you can learn .Thanks John . :)
I love your channel, you have a strait forward and simple way of demonstrating that make projects much less daunting than some other channels who focus so much on perfection and waste so much time. the techniques im learning here are quickly improving my smithing. thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Need repair work on both of my shoulders now. Then get started on my second dream of blacksmithing / making tools 🛠 & Stuff!
Thanks very instructive!
From somewheres in SWMO!!
Very nice job John. Hopefully this future owners get great use out of it my friend for many years to come. Can't wait to see more videos soon John. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge on. Keep keep making. God bless.
Хорошая работа.
Thank you so much, grate video keep it up
Nice!!
When you see a fork in the road, take it. -yogi B
Nice Job! I like the twisted parts as a fancy lil add on.
Blessings Sir
Crawford out 🙏🔥⚒️🧙🏼♂️
Good morning
Morning
I love these videos. Very useful tools. I’ve never seen a steel brush like the one you have in this video, it’s quite big. Is there a special name for them and where did you get yours from?
Those are called casting brushes
@@BlackBearForgeII thank you for that information. Where would you recommend buying them from? I’m based in the U.K.
شاگرد نمیخوای، perfect🌹👍🏻
I loved you 👍👌
I’m just curious, what is it with the Fontanini anvils that a holdfast can’t be used in the pritchel hole?
Too tall at the hole. A holdfast needs to jam in the hole and taller holes prevent that.
@@BlackBearForgeII I understand. I too have an anvil with a tall pritchel hole. I made a hold fast out of rebar which does not protrude out of the bottom of the pritchel hole and it works excellently.
This may seem like a strange question, but do you switch arms when you are hammering? I was wondering if the constant use of your right arm might cause issues down the road as muscles would be stronger on your right side compared to your left side.
I don't but I know some who are ambidextrous enough to manage.
Do ever make smaller knife forks and spoons and if you do how much would you charge
