This beautiful video is poetry, dedicated to practical blacksmithing. Our country needs much more of this grounded perspective. Thanks.
+David Sonnen Thank you David!
I absolute love this channel , I'm a blacksmith in the British army and I really enjoy watching people use the trade in a manner of ways , keep it up great content
" By hammer and hand all arts do stand "
+Joe Wright Thanks Joe! More on the way!
Wow, I think I'm in love with that old hand cranked drill press and grinding wheel!
+Newfie Ingenuity I hear you! The grinder is very effective!
You love and enjoy your work. I can see you take great pride in what you create. Good on you!
Sir, I believe that I have a twin to that powered hacksaw in my garage. I'm glad to see another. It is so inspiring to see you restoring this shop.
+Stephen Nice! You want to sell it?;)
What a great blacksmith forge. Love to see the tools returned to their intended use. Great Job!
+mdbigman Thanks brother! Long days and hard work but cold forged rivets beat bolts for a coolness factor that no-one will notice unless the were the 15 yearold the didi it!
Very cool! You are showing that it takes a lot of work to make a tool to make a tool! LOL Keep up the great work!
This is how you make it in the real world boys and girls, dedication and hard work.
+Tony Walker Thanks Tony!
For last two days I watch all your videos, form the very first one. I've just found your channel.
This one is the best so far. Great stuff.
+bosmanSaoirse Thank you so much!
Great video my husband and I are putting together our backyard blacksmithing workshop so this was wonderful to watch since we are picking up lots of antique pieces!
+Misfit Gardening The good stuf gets harder to find every day!
Restoring history one piece at a time.
+DLB Knives Love it!
This is my favorite series you have made so far. Excellent video.
+Benjamin Cuningham Thanks Ben! Glad you like them. Way more to come!
That cut off saw (?) was amazing! Never seen something like that! Thanks for sharing!
+strong like monkey Its one of the coolest tools I have ever used! Its called a powered hacksaw!
The Good of the Land - Now I know what to call it! Thanks for the reply! It was awesome seeing it in action! It's really cool that you guys are restoring the shop back to working order. It's even more awesome that you are taking the time to document it on video!
+strong like monkey Thanks Brother we have alot of work to do! After the blacksmith shop we start on the sawmill!
The Good of the Land - That sounds like a very rewarding, but tiring endeavor! I hope you can bring us along for the ride. Keep up the great work. It would be worth the effort to be able to use those tools like you guys are. Imagine what was made with those old tools and who used them. If those tools could talk.........
+strong like monkey I would listen for hours if they could talk...... :)
Love watching these brought back to life. Keep them coming!
+Arcani Preatorian You bet!
Love your new blacksmiths shop
They just don't make things like like they use to, its always nice to see things from the pre disposable era come back to life.
I would watch one hundred videos of you saving historic blacksmith shops.
+Shadeskast Then I will make one hundred!
LOVE the bracket making. These videos are becoming more and more inspiring...Will be looking at restoring an old/establishing a new blacksmiths building and shop in the local Museum site next month. Your work has me eager to start.
+Frank Kopke AWESOME! Where is the museum?
I've been watching your restoration videos for a while, I love to see these beautiful old bits of kit put back in use and doing what they were made to do. You have done the old boys that made these tools proud !
Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work !
+Steve Thanks Steve!
I know you can't please everyone but I like the videos where you talk directly to your audience much more
+Tommy Craig I enjoy them better as well. I did not plan this video out very well so I decided ro go a different direction. This is probably the best complment ever! You made my day!
The Good of the Land I figured informational videos are more time consuming with post production/ editing. Whatever makes more videos come out the better!
Awesome video. Nice repairs with the old hand tools. Great job Justin and crew!
+PAPA Texas Thanks Papa!
beautiful job, tools, skills, and that song is so beauty
+Jorge Fabian Maldonado Tapia Thank you!
Got a tip for you, use the ashes to make lye, then take any wood from the lye and use it for the forge.
Another great job - thanks for sharing the vid and the progress at the shop.
I think that saw was the same one we used in my highschool's metal shop. LOL
I've got that exact power hack saw. Makes the straightest cuts every time. Also have a 4" version of the hand powered bench grinder. The dinosaur tools always work just fine in my book.
+monkfry Nice!
Uh oh, I just saw the rest of your uploads. . . this is why I have a monitor on my shop wall. Another great shop I was unaware of!!
Truly a great video...makes you want to go out and restore something...and the music was wonderfully relaxing at the end of my day (after night shift). Love your vids...
+Frank Kopke Thanks Frank. It was the sunday night special! A little relaxing music to help get you through monday.
Coming along great work guys. That leg vice is a thing of Beauty
+Larry Holloway Thanks Larry! We have three more vices to set up!
Love the use of old hand tools, I gave some of my fathers to a friend who still uses them. Keep up the great videos
That was an excellent video! I have never seen one of those vertical band saws like that. Does a heart good to see the work you guys are doing on that old smithy.
+Timothy Juarez Thanks Tim!
I think that powered hacksaw may have been invented by George Westinghouse. I have a story in an old "Childcraft" book from 1964 (part of a World Book Encyclopedia) that has a story about him as a kid making something like it.
That hand powered drill press, never seen one before now I want one lol.
+Larry Berganza Right! They have an even bigger one!
The Good of the Land Man that's awesome can't wait to see it in a vid.
Really enjoying this series. Thanks for sharing.
+BluegrassBushcraft Absolutely!
I brought 3 of these leg vises with me here two of which need to be restored. You do nice work. Jim
+ChileExpatFamily Thanks Jim.
what a cool opportunity!
+redbeardthebunny It is great fun!
wow, loved watching this! cool old tools, made to last!
+SunsetBay Bonnie Thanks Bonnie!
oh wow! I like the antique angle grinder.
Would like to know more history of that blacksmith and see more of the tools looks great love the videos
+amy pauley How would you like it if I made a simple tour video?
The Good of the Land yes please
Grand job keep up the good work
Thank you for sharing your amazing video
+Carsten Andersen Thank you!
No one on earth ever made such hard work look O so relaxing. The music choice made that happen.
Justin... What was the music? Sounded like Dire Straights .
Great Video~~~~ Thanks for Sharing
+Perry Denman Thanks Perry!
You are doing a good job and in high heat and humidity here in North Texas.
+Ken Budd You should come visit us sometime Ken!
I will try to soon ,I live in Kaufman.
+Ken Budd Excellent! Saturdays from 9 to whenever we wear out!
Your doing great stuff keep it up
Nice antique grinder.
Nice! I like the manual drill press :-)
+John Sommerfeld We have a larger one we will be restoring soon!
I wish we could have seen more views of that motorized hacksaw and not just the blade.
Love the music. Love the series
+Michael W. THANKS!
" J " Just can't get enough of these vid's Friend. Thanks ATB Terry God Bless
+terry milburn Plenty more where that came from!
Sweet! The restoration is coming along nicely!
If you strike the wedge for the Vise mount bracket that hard too often it will break the the mortise they fit in. don't be dramatic, just make it almost snug.the Vise is built for hot working, including hammering, and if the wedge is too tight you risk breaking out the mortise. Your Anvil should sit solidly on the base, with no appreciable wiggling. use whatever tools you have to level it best you can, or you'll lose a lot of swing energy, and the work will not be as well defined. sometimes just some sand sprinkled under the anvil will do the trick. Makes for a happier days work. :)
+beardo52 Yeah, I was smacking the dog hard! Iwill keep that in mind. Our anvils are poorly mounted and need to be reset. Iwould guess we are loosing half of the energy. I really enjoy helpful comments from people who know their stuff ! Thanks! Welcome to the channel. I am here to learn as well as teach so please keep there tips and tricks coming . They are valuable
first class vid, thanks.
+ServiceTrek Glad you liked it!!!! THANKS!
well done !
Nice job
Just started restoring an similar vice, thanks. I think mine is missing the spring.
+Rosser Pace You should forge one out os a coil spring. Should work great.
awesomeee
pretty cool!
+John Hunter Thanks John!
Awesome video
+Trevor Wyatt Thanks Trevor!
You rock amigo!!
+Jesus Serna Garcias!
Looks like a lot of work needed to get done. I could have watched a whole video of any one of those tools being restored.
+JerkRice I want to make a full video on the saw.
Loving this series, great content, really appreciate the hard work you are putting in.
+James Chippett Thanks James!
Very nice
+Silver King Thank you Silver king!
I love this series. But I prefer when you have a voice over.
+Michael Salomonsson Thanks Brother! You got it!
That music is great, I would like to see who is playing that music and where to find it on the computer. If this wasn't so interesting, I might have fallen asleep. Please put it in the credits. I also noticed there are no spectators in these videos, everyone is working so hard, swing those heavy hammers. At 80 years of age, this site is therapy for me, thanks so much, stay safe....Ken marina CA
I wish I could come help! Looks like a blast.
+Sam Swihart So much fun! SEND ME AN EMAIL when you are in Texas!
I will, thanks!
Ah.. Ye old welders.
But kidding aside, great video! Please keep them coming!
Man i dont care what all these jackass haters think in my opinion this is one of the most interesting channels on youtube! The history your putting back into action is awesome brother!!!! Five star channel👍👍👍👍👍 cant wait till the next video! Thanks for sharing 👍
+Outlaw Edge Bladeworks Bushcraft and Survival Thanks! Im so glad you enjoy them! New one on the way!
What music were you playing. Awesome sound. Thanks for the video.
Love it
+troy roe Thanks Troy!
Any reason why you would not hot rivet the mount ? especially with a forge right there... wondered that about the support bracing as well.
I love the restoration you have done! As I watch Cody W. and your channel, I've come to appreciate the traditional tools more. Well done on the restoration! You paired the video with an excellent choice of music. I could sit and listen to it for hours. Can I ask who the artist is and what the title is?
+The Virginian Patriot Thank you! The music is from epedimicsound.com...I forget the title but I will add it to the description later!
If *I* been an old time blacksmith, and *I* had access to a MIG welder, you bet your ASS I'd use it!
I'm all for tradition, but only up to a point.
Overhead forge welding... very high level of difficulty.
1:35. Whoa, go easy on that cast mounting plate. The sharp angle of the wedges gives a lot of splitting pressure.
Nicely done; I liked the guitar soundtrack as well, was that you? I want to find that sound, seems like some chorus and tremolo, maybe an ES335 kind of sound.
+Olotele Forge I wish it was me. The music is from epedimicsound.com . Love it.
Hey man you really have a nice shop, i'm planning to start my own shop soon I was wondering if you know anything about where I can find most of the antique tools like that Indian chief vice or do you have some for sale?
Have you ever heard of eds red gun solvent it works great for braking loos stuff and cheep if you need a lot K1, auto transmission fluid, acetone and lanolin if you want for long term keep up the good work 👍
+Robert Culliver Yes! Gonna make some soon! You are one of three men who have belssed me with this knowledge! The other two left out the lanolin so I'm going to use your recipe! THANK YOU!!!!
first rate work
+Tom Burgess Thanks Tom!!!
hope u can find a new blade for it
Nice antique welder. Why not hot rivet it to the bench?
Horace Jenkins Several reasons. hundreds perhaps.. so many that I thought it didnt need explanation.
Hahahaha people are ridiculous
Yeap close enough XD
Nice shop I'm surprised as how small that anvil appears, any idea how much it weighs?
+Eric Corse its not very heavy...75.. 100lbs?
Thanks
How do you like that kobalt helmet? It seems to be the best value I can find out there.
+Casey White ILike the electronics but the head strap is junk. When you close the hood it cuts your ears and the cheap ratcheting mechanism broke after a few uses. I q bonded mine back together but will be replacing the head strap asap. For the price its not bad at all. Just add ten bucks for a new head strap.
Hi how come y'all don't start the forge with flint&steel
Nice antique angle grinder......
+Lewis Carruthers What would give you the Idea that an angle grinder was antique?
I love the videos except for one thing. The fade out transition is extremely distracting.
+Lee C. Dang it! Now that you mention it I see that it is annoying. Thanks for the honesty. Comments like this help me to grow!
The Good of the Land It might look nice if it was just slightly faster, its a nice fade that works with the music so dont scrap it :)
I watched your videos when you were still under 100 subs and you really inspired me to make a nice working video! I am making an offset bbq smoker right now out of 2 propane tanks and I just uploaded the first part. I'm really new in making videos so if you could take a look and give some feedback that would really help me! Anyway keep up the good work with the restorations and your beautiful axes!
Would you mind letting me know what music this is by any chance?
You cheated! You should've forge-welded that bracket to the table! ;o)
It was a little odd to watch the fire being stoke, the metal heated and forged, the hear the REEEEEEE! of the angle grinder. Same with the wire-feed welder. Old and new together.
keep the good stuff comin'.
Coming along nicely and great edit as well thanks justin. Some of these people's comments are f$@kin ridiculous they apparently have nothing going on in their lives and need to complain that your using a welder to save and restore blacksmithing history. Fml 🤦🏼♂️
+Portugee Prepper Ha! It is crazy! I'm shocked they even know what a welder is!
The Good of the Land tell me about it
a leg vise? how is it used?
+Christina Perez The bice has a leg that touches the floof for support allowing you to clamp things in the bice and hit them wit a hammer transferring the force to the ground making for a super strong vice. Its like an anvil that holds stuff.
that blower i was having problems with it turns out that the cracked gear isnt metal
+Brennan Fry Is it brass?
brass is a metal but its like a paper composite type of mdf or something
+Brennan Fry Wow that is so wierd. Wbat model blower is it?
+Brennan Fry Any chance you can send me some photos? thegoodoftheland22@gmail.com
its a canedy otto royal western chief ad i would send pics bur i lost my phone
Where did you get the antique Makita grinder and Mig welder from?
+Dick Sargent What gave you the Idea they were antique?
...using antique tools..... maybe edit the title? Good that you are restoring the old stuff.
+Johann Rissik Thanks Johann! We did use some cool antique tools. The title does say using only antique tools. Glad tou liked the video.I was back at it today and have a great video on the way!
Where abouts in Texas are you? I'm in College station.
+Mark Ling We are north of tou anout 160 miles in Lindale Tx.
ahh I see. if ever near here feel free to drop by.
The fade out is way over done. I had to turn it off
+Bill Bill Yup. I hate it as well. Never happen again! Thanks for trying;) new vid on the way.... much better editing. These are the comments that make the content grow. Tempted to re edit and re upload.
Nice Work! Please don't make a the long black screen between each cut, like you did in the first 5 minutes, they are very annoying.
Who the heck disliked this?!
+Jack Penner A very special person.;)
OK how about this title. "Using SOME antique tools to restore an ancient blacksmith's vise" Are you happy Meow?
HA!
Third
+Broccoli kills AWESOME!
Constant fade outs are headache inducing
+Adam Wheeler Got it! Thanks for the help. Comments like this help me to grow as an editor.
Still jealous! HaHaHaHaHaHa
+kavack 13 Ha!
