    Beautiful craftsmanship! I don't see why everyday objects can't be beautiful too... it takes your mind off of your dull drudgery of doing your chores, and gives you grateful feelings for the work and talent of other people :)

    Nicely done mate. These twists are super satisfying to forge. I need to practice forging my scarfs as they never end up even which makes the welds uneven and hard to line up.

    Another outstanding project! But, that is what I have come to expect on your channel. I've watched your forge welding techniques closely...you are obviously a master of that art. Something puzzles me...other contributors devote much time, effort, and undoubtedly money to buying and modifying, or forging and finishing what they think to be the ultimate choice in a forging hammer. Great attention is paid to design, fit, and finish. I see you working your welds with what appears to be an unmodified ball peen hammer around 2 lbs Imperial - 1 kilo in weight. I probably have some in my mechanic's tools which are very close to the same. Any comment from you on your hammer choice(s)...or should we be expecting a future video on that subject? Thanks

    James what is the hardest thing that you have made
    I have watched a few of your videos so far and I really like your work
    It would be nice to hear what you found kind of hard

    7:43 the most impressive part about this is that its actually not sped up, everything else in the video is just slowed down

    Great to have some commentary! just one thing, you might want to look into leveling out the audio, the step-up from the start to the forging is a bit much.👍

    OK using a torch that's just cheating stick back into the forge and twist it. Just kidding of course great job on the shovel and commentary it helps a lot.
