I apologize for the poor camera work in this video. Matthew, who is learning videography at our church, has taught me a bit since I shot this.

Fire Poker

In this video, I play around with a new idea for a fire poker. I am using a new camera and am still learning it. So there are some places in the video that are out of focus. I apologize in advance for that.

In this video, I am forging some s-hooks for a friend. It's a simple beginner project that can be fun.

This video is a reimagining of one of my first knives. I think I can do it better than I did back then. The dog at moves through the background isn't mine. See if you can spot him.
Unfinished Business

In this first episode of Unfinished Business, I work on three knives that should have been done long ago. And yet, they're still here!
Hot Cut
Переглядів 99Рік тому
In this video I forge a hot cut tool out of a piece of leaf spring. Watching my posture in this video, I think I will start wearing a back brace for a while. A back brace will force me to watch my posture.

If you are interested in short updates on the bathroom repair/ house remodel, let me know in the comments. Until I reveal the finished bathroom, there will only be short clips like this one.

Ken's Custom Iron Works Scrolling tongs: I messed up.
I'm glad things worked out for you. I just got the tong rack from Ken's last month and am very happy with it. Just subscribed, Keep the vids coming 👍
Thank you for the sub! Ken's has a quality product. I own a few of their things and I will be doing business with them in the future.
..yep, i know what you mean by user error. this is about the only time i tell a man, nice rack...

I've always been a kind of garage guy... I'm 65 years old finally retired I've got anvils hammers, Forge, tongs still not quite ready to give up, still in my learning process. I have to be around it. I'm wanting to make my own brake drum forge I'm still trying to find a reasonable heat source I'm seeing lump coal for sale I don't know if that's enough to generate the heat that I need .... Any suggestions on cheap heat source. I am on a fixed income. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Love your videos please keep posting.
Lump charcoal is a good source of heat. It's clean and it can reach welding heats. But it takes twice as much charcoal as it does coal because you cannot pack charcoal the same way you can pack coal. because it can be packed, coal holds the heat in better than charcoal. Charcoal is also good if you have neighbors close by, because it smells like you are grilling out. Coal has a distinct smell that not everyone enjoys.
They’re not lowly to a Cowboy Cook. LOL
..i like the "pokey flame" end also. Well done...!!
At 5:40ish mark, ya should've used the horn step down to help hold the piece in place
Hope to see you in Goldston in October
..obtuse, i say fat. acute, thin or sharp. That's a hefty war hammer. Looks like you had a Good time and learned a lot. i'm looking forward to the build...!
..yep, done that before and also got the curls opposite of where they were supposed to be...
Thankfully, with round stock, it doesn't show when you have to twist it into the right orientation. Still a bit embarrassing when it happens though.
Great work dude 🙂🙂
And now you know the other reason I wear a glove on my hammer hand when forge welding.
🤣🤣 Yeah! That was a painful lesson. Welding those pieces together threw a lot of scale. I've never had it fly off of the power hammer and hit me in the face.
LOL as you said you do lose some hammer control with a glove . You do get used to it
Had to laugh at the "ow". You've always tended to choke up on tools, hammers, knives, tongs, although I will say your stance has improved finally 😊
..Good job on the remake blade. i am partial to the swell near the handle on the original. it may be the moon phase or your grinder is a bit from true north causing those curves...hahahaha!!
Nice work brother. I hate going back to old projects always makes me feel like I'm going backwards. I feel your loss we have a 13 year old boy that we know is on borrowed time.
I hate going back to old projects, but it's like they haunt me every time I see them laying around. It's never easy losing a pet. When we had her put down, I fought with myself that there must have been something else we could have done. But I know there was nothing.
..Condolences on yalls loss. On the Skinner- could you have center punched down the middle of the tang to spread out the end, being you didn't have enough to peen...?
Thank you. Hmm. That might have been a possibility.
Here is the first video in the Three Commissions series: ua-cam.com/video/c1tDawBSE8s/v-deo.html
..Thanks for this video. It reminds me that i need a handled Hot Cut, other than the cheap hatchet i been using. Well done with this...!
Thank you! I hope to test it out soon to see how it works.
Good to see you out in the forge! (Ya still need to work on your stance)
🤣 This anvil is a little too high for me. It is actually set up for Matt. I need to mount mine at the proper height again.
..i'm kinda excited you are taking the class and the bits and pieces you are willing to share with us. had to snicker over the knuckles out of the belt, been there, probably will be back...
🤣 Yeah, my fingernails and knuckles have gotten to know the grinder all too well, I'm afraid. I'm pretty excited about the class. If this one works out, I'll see about more classes from them in the future.
How do you pronounce your forge name cobba?
Ick-thee-anne. I really should start saying it again at the beginning of each video.
Wasn’t sure, but I am saying it right🙂
..if we all had 1800 sq. ft. shops that would be ideal. so we make do and just try not to trip. it may be small steps and they take us further on the journey...
Absolutely true! The bad thing about any workspace is that we always put something there "temporarily." But then it never leaves, and it clutters up our space. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I'm one of the kids with milton made cups I remember you talking about making the sword at the crosscreek and craft show sales so exited to see the result
Hi Jake. I remember you. This is going to be fun.
awesome plan, that blade design looks cool, can't wait to see more :)
Instead of putting the sword up for sale, try a raffle. If it's advertised on here, the crowd funding and both SBG and MER, for $20 or a little more you have the potential to raise a great deal more than what you would sell it for. You could link the crowd funding to each site and they purchase their tickets through the fund. You could also add features to give advantages to those who contribute more. Something like a buy one ticket/chance for $20 or get 6 for $100. Good luck I'll be watching for the updates!
Hmm, you've given me much to think about.
..Good luck with the project! Is the blade going to be stacked damascus or is that just the engraving along the spine...?
The spine will be wrought iron while the edge will be stacked damascus. The jury is still out on exactly how I am going to put the pattern into the spine. I have a few ideas.
..the one's i have are to ugly to photograph. also i bent the jaws the wrong way 3 times on the same jaw. those are very good, well done sir...
🤣🤣🤣 Definitely sounds like something I would do.
Good job I'm thinking about making one soon and glad I can across your video for reference!
Indonesia banyak arang
your fail is... lost heat
Sorry if I just wasn't listening well enough, but what steel did you use for this? Or what grades of steel do you believe are well suited towards tools? Affordability? Applications? Longevity?
I used an old coil spring for this. It makes pretty good punches and things, but you MUST beware that there could be microfractures in it that would cause it to fail. I know where this spring came from and I know that it had a pretty hard life. But I believe it will hold up at least for its intended project. Some smiths recommend things like S7. Blackbear Forge has plenty of videos on the subject of tools. If you aren't familiar with that channel, check it out. If you tell him I sent you....he won't know who you are talking about. 🤣
คุณยังไม่เขัาใจคนไทบเขาเก่งจริงๆๆ
Thanks for your encouragement.
..it's good to go back to the basics. i'll make a punch or chisel and can't find it so i'll make another, then find the durn thing with a couple of more. Nice job on sneaking up on the colors...!
Yes shops always need a reset (cleanup, upgrade). Looking forward to the progress.
