I can't thank you enough for your deep library of helpful videos. A friend asked me to make a candle snuffer for them, and this video showed me exactly how to do it. Forging that cone to come out even was hard, but I managed and ended up with a lovely gift. And then I treated myself by ordering a cone mandrel to make the next one easier ;)
Just want to mention I really appreciate that you provide us with the metric dimensions. And don't worry about some mess ups, if you're holding a short piece in your hands, we know you ment 20cm and not 2 meter ;) .
The chain link swivel works a lot better than I thought it would, I played with a solid one many years ago. Also, coming from a plumbing/ HVAC background I would have soldered the edges of the cone together, thinking it needed to be airtight; but you proved that just closely butting them was good enough. Good Job.
Thank you for persisting with the metric measurements. I play a head game with myself trying to convert the measures before you can tell us. Sometimes I get closer than others. I challenge others to do the same and try to become multilingual.
Love watching all your videos and for the holiday ideas I think a match light would be a good project to go along with the candle in the candle Snuffer
On the third day of Christmas the black bear made for me, a candle snuffera, a nice wreath hook and a beaitifull coat hook. This is going to be a long comment in a few weeks 😏
I love that technique of rolling it up solid then making a loop out of it never seen that before, loving the videos John I plan on making several of the Christmas items that you are doing
Nice project John. Any chance of putting the pattern up on your web site so we can download and print it. Like the butterfly and any other upcoming projects. Just a thought thx again....Paul
There's likely a bunch of us that will try to make this, we could post our patterns and results over on the FB discussion page and maybe take care of it that way.

lol must have seen my suggestion on Christ centered ironworks, as a joke, but yea why not make a meas to choke the candle out, its a practical gift, and the hammering job was fairly even better then I have even seen in craft stores over the years, and glad it was not just a pyramid shape like you see in europe, I think those are ugly, though those are probably over a century old or more they have on the wood poles, probably put out 10 of thousands of candles with them like in the great churches of Rome Italy or in France, but I guess what ever removes the oxygen from the air, I still like to blow them out myself much more fun unless its a huge candle then I say the tribe has spoken like on survivor heh before using one of these, or occasional in church when I help out though a word about the use, you want to hover it just above the top of the candle you dont want it to set on a flat candle you crush the wick down into the wax and its going to burn unevenly, soo many kids at church will use the bell to stomp the candle out and it messes the candle up if you just hover it ove the wick it will go out wait till you see smoke and slowly lift and that way you dont get the smoke, a tip from a former altar server.
Or... you could blow the candle out. 🤔🤣🤣lmao Great project. Alot of different skills needed👍👍 ps. How hard are you blowing if your blowing wax around the room? HAHAHA I'd say ease back a little bit. 😂🤣🤣

Another great video. Very cool to hear my name in the video. Thank you.
Great project suggestion.
I'm a diabetic so I could see everything just fine after eating this Christmas cake and watching your video
And it begins! :-) looking forward to the rest of this series John...
I think this is actually the third video on the series. I started early because I had so many ideas suggested.

Thank you again for taking your time showing some beginner projects. I will try one tomorrow . Perfect gift for my sister up north.
Thanks for these little projects! Just getting into blacksmithing and these are great.
Watch your videos is the Best moment of the day! Thanks!
The autofocus likes the dirt floor because there is a lot of contrast there. That's what it spies out to focus on.
Cool project John!
I really enjoyed this video, thanks!
Definitely a good call on the series . I see a lot of these items your making being made next year by folks for gifts ;)
Thank you for persisting with the metric measurements.
I play a head game with myself trying to convert the measures before you can tell us.
Sometimes I get closer than others.
I challenge others to do the same and try to become multilingual.
That is adorable love love love.
Another great video! Congrats on overtaking Roy!!! Both of you guys are doing great. 👌
I really wasn't trying to race him. But I do appreciate all of the viewer support.
Fun project looks great and will be fun to make thanks for the ideas and the great instructions
That’s great! I really like the pivotal end!
You are a video making machine 👍

Really good and just in time. My wife askes already for a candle snuffer.
Thank you very much!

This is the first time I have tried it myself.
👍👍👍👍

I would have to think about how to setup things like that.

Hey John, what round nose pliers do you use?
They don't have a name on them, but they came from Blacksmiths Depot - www.blacksmithsdepot.com/products/tongs-pliers/pliers.html/scrolling-pliers-19956.html
Hey John just a quick question. Now high is the table of your forge table?
I think its 32". But more importantly its the same as my anvil so a bar on either can rest on the other if needed
lol must have seen my suggestion on Christ centered ironworks, as a joke, but yea why not make a meas to choke the candle out, its a practical gift, and the hammering job was fairly even better then I have even seen in craft stores over the years, and glad it was not just a pyramid shape like you see in europe, I think those are ugly, though those are probably over a century old or more they have on the wood poles, probably put out 10 of thousands of candles with them like in the great churches of Rome Italy or in France,

though a word about the use, you want to hover it just above the top of the candle you dont want it to set on a flat candle you crush the wick down into the wax and its going to burn unevenly, soo many kids at church will use the bell to stomp the candle out and it messes the candle up if you just hover it ove the wick it will go out wait till you see smoke and slowly lift and that way you dont get the smoke, a tip from a former altar server.

But you have to have some form of justification for making the snuffer, even if its a bit of a stretch 😜
