Nice work, enjoyed this video and seeing Allen working on his apprenticeship. My list of things to make is getting longer quicker than I can try to make stuff.
You can tell Allen has some experience as a hitter.☺♥ You make a great teacher. Well done.
Thank you! He’s a quick learner!
That hammer control! Definitely a practiced hand.
Love watching Allen!🙂
Brother you made that look easy! Loved the instructional video. Keep them coming.
Thanks man! Plan to!
Like that, next time I have spare I’ll give it ago!
Great video, very well done. I retired from teaching physics and mathematics and took up blacksmithing, so a cube-octahedron is right down my alley. I used to make lots of different polyhedra, generally out of poster board, to use as demos in class to discuss some math thing or other. I've made more or less this shape as the knocker part of a door knocker, using the wrap and forge weld method. Your work is very clean on the facets, I really like it, it'll inspire me to make some more as finials. Thanks again. Oh yes, I really enjoyed your helper, give him a high five for me!
Great demonstration! I particularly profited from your detailed explanation of the hows and whys of your weld. That really got me thinking about procedure. Thank you.
Thank you! You got it!
You`ve got an awesome little giant striker there. Nice work guys, and thanks for sharing.
Thats a cool little tecnique , did you know that the natural crystalline structure of Garnet is exactly that shape
thankyou for sharing
It’s an amazing thing what you are doing! Passing down knowledge! Not only to your kids but to us as-well, I’ve never heard of a blacksmith’s diamond! Now I have! Definitely be trying that out soon!
Thanks Luke! I ain’t an expert, but I wanna share what little I know as I learn too!
Great video once again ! Thank you for sharing your skills and techniques !!! And time!

@@AxeAndAnvil oops. 8 just noticed I totally messed up writing that post.
Noice!
Thanks buddy!
I tried this after coming on to your channel ,I used pallet spool rods both for the rod and the welded material, I still had a circle in the end is this unavoidable
It was round stock on round stock
So your weld didn’t take? These can certainly be tricky. Just gotta keep trying and use plenty of heat and borax.
Just a question, why do you work on the back of the anvil? Was always taught to work on the other side and with the horn towards the forge......regardless nice clean forging ..from Australia
Hey Toni! There’s a strong tradition for sure of putting the horn towards your tong hand that is largely rooted in making and shaping horseshoes. But, overall historically, there’s precedent for both ways. I know a number of really good smiths who turn the horn towards their hammer hand, and I greatly prefer it. It makes many operations easier, but for me the most important thing is it makes it easier to work around hardy tooling.
Reading this made me think of both the comments. My anvil is a Ridgid Peddinghaus European style I believe and my Hardy hole is right next to the horn. I do think both are nice on my tong hand side. But a traditional anvil like Jordan is working on has the horn and hardy opposite sides. Always interesting, I’m a 4H shooting sports instructors and pay attention to archery and rifle shooters. Many different styles, generally it’s best for the kids to find what works best for them, I figure blacksmithing is no different
Man I watch this video like three times still ain't made no damn diamonds I'm have to get off my lazy ass
Haha give it a try!
