  • At least once a year, I try to host the local blacksmithing group, the Rocky Mountain Smiths. This year I demonstrated the forging of a trivet made by splitting a 1" bar with a hot cut and opening it to create the ring, three legs and a handle for the trivet.
    For another view of this demo please see the Rocky Mountain Smiths UA-cam version

    Just a couple of observations. This would be a perfect use of a striking anvil. The strikers were not at a comfortable height. Secondly, if you made a handled splitting chisel that was perpendicular to the work instead of parallel it would keep the heat off of your hand and offer more control. Not being critical, I love your work.

    I’ve told people I e taken up blacksmithing, but really only done a couple things and forge 4 knives. Thinking of things to smith is a bit of a holdback. What 4-5 projects would you recommend to new smiths? Thanks again.

  • @tkjazzer
    @tkjazzer 5 років тому

    By hitting that mini sledge hammer on metal tool to make hole in middle, do you get mushrooming like wood splitting wedges? Really old woodsplitting wedges had wooden sockets with a ring around the dogwood or boxwood inset. Did old blacksmith tools also have wooden inserts? Might be easier on the ears too

    • @BlackBearForge
      @BlackBearForge  5 років тому +1

      Yes it does mushroom, but wood wouldn't holdup and there would be to much energy lost. So you just have to take time to dress the tools from time to time.
