Hey my name's Oscar Duck, I'm a young blacksmith from the north of England. On my channel you'll find a few videos of what I make, I hope you can understand what I do as a blacksmith and maybe you'll even learn something!
Forging a Ram's Head
Big News! I'm moving into a new building!
I thought I would do one last video in the old farm forge before I leave and I couldn't think of a better way to end this part of my blacksmithing life other than forging a ram's head. At the end of the video I also compared the head to a few that are three years old and were made when I first moved into this building.
I'm now starting a new business, Carter and Duck Blacksmiths, with Bill Carter and I am currently moving into our new building. I will still make some UA-cam videos when I get the time and I'll have to get Bill in front of the camera too!

Warning! In today's video I am promoting some products sent to me by Christ Centred Ironworks, if that's not something you are interested in then please don't watch however I think I do make a pretty cool hook and there is obviously no obligation that you buy anything! Roy Adams (of Christ Centred Ironworks) got in contact with me asking if I'd like to promote some of his laser cut blanks that ...

In today's video I take on a challenge of making the very wacky Jacob Sheep. This particular bread of sheep have some spectacular horns which were fun to try and make. Along with the head I made four legs and a tail; I then fixed all these into a rock to create the sculpture. I hope you enjoy the video.

Copper plating with a forge?!
Переглядів 1,6 тис.3 роки тому
In today's video I revisit this method I use to copper plate steel by meting copper onto the steel using the forge. I'm still fascinated and amazed that this works so well and I love the contrast you can create between the copper and scale. I hope you enjoy the video and maybe learn something about this method!

Maan, you are talented 😊
I started one today at my black smith buddies house TIMBER TIGER FORGE he had me watch this video. It's not quite finished but I'm impressed how well i did with current progress. Amazing work you do
Very nice statement, clean and concise. I see that you like the burned on oil finish, too.......
I think the copper is coming from your wire brush, actually, and not the brass.
thanks you gave a idea how to do a octopus pummel
yes he looks really happy😉 , and that gives me the breakthrough to subscribe to your channel! Nice video, I can learn something from it and I have been forging for 25 years!! That says something!!
5:20 Well, I made set of arrows for my gf with socket arrowheads, they were glued onto shaft with epoxy, and after just 1 hit into brick wall - the arrowheads flew off, never to be seen again I didn't try the tanged ones yet, but I think if you put a ring of metal or even wind up some string tightly near the end of the shaft where the head is, nothing should happen to the arrow and most importantly - the head would stay on the shaft, even if you hit a brick or a rock
Wow nice work...
Love the tong making series. Oscar have you given up blacksmithing, haven't seen a video for a few years.??
nice job.
ah you stopped filming .....dude why!!!
Ive just realised, as you were doing the fit up on the bar, that your box jaw tongs look a lot like a pythons head and I mean a lot ...the slight overlength of the flat side make the snake look even more obvious. Nice tongs thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this video, I learned way way more than I expected, fletching😊? Nice work
great video and explanations
How do you only have 5k subscriptions!? This is brilliant. You earned my subscription and I'll be having my twin also subscribe. (: looking forward to making a couple of these.
Great video! I hadn't realised I could cold twist the steel so evenly after normalising. I saw a lusitanian torc with this twist in Krakow, it was around 2-3000 years old 😁
Love these Oscar, with that second set down, that chalk mark you had how far is that from the near side where your standing with the material, after doing that first one for the nib? Thanks mate, Keep up the good work.
This was excellent, old numpties like me need to watch this multiple times to take in all that you're doing especially the hammer skills. Please put some more up, we need you.
Please stop waving your arm around as you speak. Most distracting.
but what if you made an entire crown out of it?
Excellent
Looking forward to new videos.
tres bien mais trop de parlote
tres bien mais trop de parlote !!!! c est du ricain !!

Dude, have you never seen wheat growing befor?? Wheat pods grow from the stem UPWARDS. Yours is upside down. What a goober.
If you've never used a fly press before why are you putting up a video????
Amazing work.
Could you go to the site (in French) and give me your opinion, tell me more, and why not a video on the drawing that you will find of the machinery used at the time after going to the site "ardennes toujours fr/la clouterie-a-la-main " or with this key words "La clouterie à la main - ardennes-toujours -" goto in the site to "Dessin de Laurent Leclère, ancien élève du Lycée Monge co-auteur de « La vie des cloutiers ardennais au XIXe siècle » PS: youtube does not authorize me to send you the internet link... sad regression
Asian ,japan ,central Europe, and Scandinavian countries used tang arrowheads, as well as India
I agree with not hot cutting certain things like this. I use a Milwaukee compact band saw set up in a Swag table for a lot of these types of cuts. Nice thin kerf.
Super glue lmao USE RED LOC-TITE THAT SHIT WILL NEVER EVER COME OFF
anything from the new workshop yet ? looking forward to it
❤❤شكران على هذاي المعلومات
You made it look easy! Well done!
Please come back
Turned out great! Inspires me to use the wheat pattern in something - probably a fire poker.
Great idea welding a positioner on the back of the tool!
Hopefully everything is alright and you'll be back soon . 👍
Большое спасибо за подробную инструкцию по изготовлению)
@oscarduck1920 Did you harden the header?
Very nice work friend
awesome 🎉
Amigo,qual a utilidade dessa pinça?
Nice! Do you know the starting length you 12mm bar you used?
Gracias y saludos cordiales
You wore me out talking about what you were going to do 11
are u in search for a wife per chance
Now you need to make some dragon wall bracket holders, I saw some nice ones in Italy last year. So I’m hoping to make some iron torches and brackets for my future shed, still in process of dropping trees so they don’t uproot and squish me . Plus I need more wood for shed/ log cabin. Nice job dude !
Amazing. Thank you. Now I have to see the specific machine that does this in slow motion
