Hi Chandler, I live in Brazil. I am a psychologist and in the spare time and amateur knifemaker. Every week I look forward to watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with us.
Thanks for posting all your experimental videos. You're one of the main reasons I've started forging. I love your quote "Its ok if I fail as long as I know why". I've recently aquired a bunch of 1/4 and 1/2 in cable steel and I'm loving just smashing them together and seeing what happends!
Love it when you experiment makes want to push my own envelope. It's easy to get stuck in the same stuff you do everyday or do well. You inspire me to go farther. Thank you.
So a friend and I are making our own foundry, and we decided to make our own anvil so we can do some small scale blacksmithing. You're video's showing how to do things old school will probably help out a lot. Thanks!
I have been watching you videos as well as other peoples forge videos and I thought you might like to know that your are in my opinion by far the best. You take the time to explain what you are doing and why making yours much more educational than ones I have seen from so called experts. Glad to see you back at it and I look forward to seeing the knife you get from this piece.
good to have you back Chandler. love the way you work, try anything and don't tell me you can't do it. love the sayings, I don't know what I am doing, it is what it is. looking forward to seeing more of Chandler doing what he does best
Very interesting and great material choice for this project and looks as though it will make a great blade! Thanks for the great videos and commentary all through them!
You made my day, Chandler. Great to see you back at it again.Looking forward to seeing the knife, or whatever you finally decide to make with this billet. Keep up the good work.
Excited about this one because I have a bucket full of these, a whole trampoline worth stashed in my shed. Look forward to the finished product. Looks promising!
I’ve been watching your work for a couple months now and I really enjoy your videos. I’m retiring next month and can’t wait to get my forge built and start beating up some metal.
beautiful... it's amazing how you make nothing just some raw material and make it beautiful.... thank you for this video I hope you do many more thanks again
I love this guy. "Make sure you use all the PPE" Then proceeds to pour the acid into an old Mt Dew bottle with no mask on. You sir are an honorary Tennessean my friend. That's exactly the way the good ole boys do stuff around here. You remind me of more than 1 uncle. LOL
You definitely do some interesting tutorials from my perspective and like you say learning on your end fo sure :-). Thanks for your time please keep up the good work.
great video, I really enjoy watching your videos, the way you show what your doing, showing us how things go from start to finish is pretty much how us novices would try to do the same thing, one thing I like is you show that you don't need a power hammer to shape the metal let alone to forge weld, don't get me wrong, I know a power hammer would be nice but most of us can't afford to sell our first born to get a power hammer, another thing I like about this video is you had no idea in the beginning how the springs would work if at all but you were still willing to try it out, most people don't think about how things were developed or made from what was unknown, hopefully I am making sense, either way, great video
glad to see another vid man, keep truckin. Thanks for the content, really appreciate it. I was working on my second time forge welding today... who boy frustrating when your weld pops later while doing more decorative stuff.
Hey, it's great to see you back at the anvil again! (I agree with whoever said you probably have SAD, which means you get depressed when there isn't much sunlight - they sell special lights for you to use indoors that duplicate the effect of sunshine, and they really do work.) I love your fish/dragon scale pattern - it's amazing what patterns develop when you flatten, fold, and re-shape different materials. Keep pounding away on white-hot steel - it's obvious that it's good for what ails ya!
Great work, Chandler! Looks like the idea to put the 01 in there was pretty smooth. In general, looks like the forge welds were pretty good, and then you cut and folded for another round. That's when things looked really solid! Good call on doing it a third time and then drawing it out. Neat project - can't wait to see the final result!
Can't wait to see what the knife ends up looking like. If I remember right the first video I ever watched on your channel was you trying to make a billet out of a motorcycle chain. Been a fan ever since!
Wonder how a spring over a railroad spike might make a knife with the same fish scales. Love that you are willing to try news things, even if they might fail at first. Glad to see you back!
Wow, that's exactly what I've been trying to do for the last year or so on my off time. I found a few huge coil springs similar to yours and layered one with C06 pure carbon steel strips, trying to make a pattern welded viking sword. I have the billet almost ready to be drawn out and this really gives me hope that it could actually work out fine. Good to see someone else also fooling around with random spring steels.
That's what I love here on your channel. You try all kind of stuff.
Hi Chandler, I live in Brazil. I am a psychologist and in the spare time and amateur knifemaker. Every week I look forward to watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with us.
I dont actually do any blacksmithing, but i thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and makes me want to get into it some how.
Spectacular and clever idea. Well executed. Thanks for letting me come along for the ride.

I sure hope you know how much people love you and your vidieos.
AH...the sound of hammering is like a drug to me.
Don't ever stop man, thank you!
Milos Vucinic it's got a almost therapeutic sound to it
yep, i have nothing smart to add, so il just leave it here. :P
So a friend and I are making our own foundry, and we decided to make our own anvil so we can do some small scale blacksmithing. You're video's showing how to do things old school will probably help out a lot. Thanks!
I like how you go off the beaten path with your ideas, it always comes out interesting to me. Keep experimenting!
I'm getting so many great ideas! Thanks for educating all us beginners out here.
I have been watching you videos as well as other peoples forge videos and I thought you might like to know that your are in my opinion by far the best.

The best day at the forge is one where I can end the day by watching a new Chandler vid. Happy to see you back at it man.
Some of my favorite videos of yours are where you try forge welding steel from recycled materials.
good to have you back Chandler. love the way you work, try anything and don't tell me you can't do it. love the sayings, I don't know what I am doing, it is what it is. looking forward to seeing more of Chandler doing what he does best
Very interesting and great material choice for this project and looks as though it will make a great blade! Thanks for the great videos and commentary all through them!
Welcome back. Love the way you are always experimenting with something new.
You made my day, Chandler. Great to see you back at it again.Looking forward to seeing the knife, or whatever you finally decide to make with this billet. Keep up the good work.
Glad to see you back at it. Great project. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
my youngest and I are glade to see you back at it. really enjoy your vids
Glad to see you back in your shop! Keep up the good work.
Good to see your video in the line-up again. Good work, looking forward to seeing what it gets shaped and fashioned into.
Excited about this one because I have a bucket full of these, a whole trampoline worth stashed in my shed. Look forward to the finished product. Looks promising!
looking good. You are getting a lot better at your forge welding. Can't wait to see the blade in the next video. Have a great day.
Great to see you back at the unorthodox material combos.....love the experimentation.
good to have you back! That should turn into a nice looking knife!
Great to see you in the shop again! Amazing video as always! Hope everything is going well for you.
great video Chandler, it is always fun to watch your experiments.
I’ve been watching your work for a couple months now and I really enjoy your videos. I’m retiring next month and can’t wait to get my forge built and start beating up some metal.
Shaping up to be another cool project. Can't wait for the next chapter.
I have learned so much from your videos great to see you back keep up the good work

Looking good Chandler! Glad to see you are back at it!
Nice. Really neat concept. Glad to see you getting started to get back in there.
Really didn't think it would work with all the gaps in the metal, but you proved me wrong lol. Fantastic job as always.
+Chandler Dickinson, I love the videos, keep em coming! I sit and watch them no matter the length!
Great to see you back doing what you do chandler!
good to see you back! cant wait to see how the knife turns out.

I love this guy. "Make sure you use all the PPE" Then proceeds to pour the acid into an old Mt Dew bottle with no mask on. You sir are an honorary Tennessean my friend. That's exactly the way the good ole boys do stuff around here. You remind me of more than 1 uncle. LOL
You rock chandler - you should do a forge welding playlist or series using reclaimed steel (exactly like this video)
Brilliant stuff ,I really enjoy watching these videos.
Great video. Thank you for sharing and it's great to see you working!!
I gotta go and find me a trampoline I need springs... I've been inspired. Nice job sir.
Good to see you back in the shop. Hope your feeling better
Glad to see you back at it man. I've missed your videos.
Amazing what you can do with springs. Thanks for the video.
I agree with everyone else it's good to see you making some more vids! That billet looks really promising!
You are a master pourer, Chandler. Didn't spill a single drop.
You definitely do some interesting tutorials from my perspective and like you say learning on your end fo sure :-). Thanks for your time please keep up the good work.
DUDE! SO glad you're back!
Great video. Great to see you back at it!
Can't wait for the knife video for this billet! Great job Chandler! Keep it coming
glad we have a new video keep up the hard work
Looks awesome! Welcome back, you were missed!

Nice video, Chandler! Can't wait to see what pattern the knife blade develops!
Your back! I can't wait to see what that billet will be made into.
glad to see another vid man, keep truckin. Thanks for the content, really appreciate it.
I was working on my second time forge welding today... who boy frustrating when your weld pops later while doing more decorative stuff.
Good to see you with hammer in hand Chandler.
Nice looking billet, can't wait to see the finished knife.
Great job Chandler keep em coming....
looking good glad your back you have been missed for sure
good to see you back mr chandler, a great lookin billet
Good to see you back at it CD
glad to see new content Chandler! looking forward to the knife vid

Really cool to see how far your forge welding skills have come.
Looking good brother! Welcome back fo sho.
good to see you back like your work
great video man. good to see you back.

glad your back! cool idea and if there wasnt a foot of new snow id be givin somethin like it a try
good to see you back
its good to see you working again brother. plus i havent thought of working with coil spring yet. Nice profect to look forward to.
Great work, Chandler! Looks like the idea to put the 01 in there was pretty smooth. In general, looks like the forge welds were pretty good, and then you cut and folded for another round. That's when things looked really solid! Good call on doing it a third time and then drawing it out. Neat project - can't wait to see the final result!
Absolutely love watching this guy go
I hope you see this, perhaps scrolling through the comments looking at what people have to say about your latest video. This video was excellent.
Can't wait to see what the knife ends up looking like. If I remember right the first video I ever watched on your channel was you trying to make a billet out of a motorcycle chain. Been a fan ever since!
good to see you back!!
looking great brother, cant wait to see the knife.
it is great that you choose to post the video thank you.
its good to see you ; you been missed
Wonder how a spring over a railroad spike might make a knife with the same fish scales. Love that you are willing to try news things, even if they might fail at first. Glad to see you back!
glad to see you back. Nicely done on the "lepordy fish scale". waiting to see the final pattern in the blade.
nice unique pattern I am trying my hardest to forge weld because of you I'm about to be 17 I've been watching you since I was probably 14
Wow, that's exactly what I've been trying to do for the last year or so on my off time.

Good to see someone else also fooling around with random spring steels.
Just love this channel!
steel from springs is actually a good steel! probably overlooked by many but it has to have certain properties to be able to spring. Makes good tools!
Hello Mr. Dickinson how are you . Just won't to thank you for your shows you have been a big help to me in this new Adventure in to blacksmithing.
Bro your weldi g skills are off the chain. I like how you just grab and say yep. Were welding this together lol. Turns out great.
i am so happy to see your back Chandler i was having withdrawals
Excellent stuff man, as usual!
Glad to see you back, you have been missed. Time for me to light up the forge in honor of your return and build something.
