I made this project to replace a broken garden hose hanger and it turned out great! Thanks for the great instruction, your videos are the most useful I've come across in relating the details of forging.
When i get the chance and my house gets done i'm definately going back over everything you've made by that time and do a project marathon in my own shop. i wish i had more time to watch all the new content. glad to see youre going strong still, keep it up!
On the fifth day of Christmas the black bear made for me, a hose hanger, a bottle opener, a candle snuffer, a nice wreath hook and a beaitifull coat hook. And I spotted the Christmass Gargoyle again, happy to see it again, I was starting to miss him.
Lol. Today is truly tomorrow's yesterday. Love the idea for the hose hangers. As usual great video on something I hadn't thought of making. Blessed days sirSir, Crawford out
Great job John this hanger video is awesome I seem getting better it's been a couple yrs since my accident and now this is funny I had thought up this cord hanger I thought lol now buddy I see no way did I think it up I must have watched your video cause I do make some think like that so when we are laying flat out the videos do stick in our head some and I really truly want to thank you very much I do hope I will get to merry you and shake your hand buddy.
Very cool project. I'm glad you did drill the holes on the holding bracket. That prevents the swelling like you said from punching holes. The only thing I would have done differently as far as the construction is I would have put the bracket where it holds the large plate in the same swage block if I could, and gave them a similar radius, so that I wasn't riviting a curved section of material to aone that was flat. I think that would have lead to a better hold, and never have to worry about them working loose on a piece that was to be used a lot. This is definitely a project that like you said has a LOT of uses around the smithy. Fine work as always, and can't wait to see what "mystery item" you pick up at your blacksmith get together. Keep the vids coming, and I'm sure like a few others here we kinda feel like we are getting spoiled with the massive amount of content you are really cranking out for this series.
I am hoping Santa brings me a new small air compressor for being such a good little blacksmith this year. One of these hooks would be outstanding for the hose....added to my "shop to do list". Thanks John! Loving this series
After going back and watching some of your old videos, it really is damaging how quite your anvil is now. You did a really good job on quieting down your anvil.
Something you said about only using limited tooling gave me an idea for a future video. What if you made the same project twice, the first time using just the basics and the second time the most efficient way you can. I think it would be interesting to see the difference between the two and hear your thoughts on both.
I wish I could set up and build this here as the ladies I do yard work for NEED a new hose holder. But I have no place to set up until I move 3000 miles away. But Thank You. I will make one some day
Nice job John. I'll be trying my hand at one of those in the next few days. Really enjoying these little projects. I've made the coat/hat hanger and wreath hanger so far. Posted them on the Facebook group page. Thanks again
John buddy I would love to share with you, doing my healing and blacksmithing as my therapist you buddy are my mentor I have been making some of these using drawn out horseshoe and a peace of flat as the flat 2nd part , it has been a very nice thing and friends have gotten them and helped refill my propane tanks.i really want to thank you very much.
I love all these great ideas. I try to get to the forge daily but mine is set up outside and in Florida we’ve been getting quite a bit of rain lately. Thanks again
Let's take a vote those for screachy file sounds say yeah in reply those who do not say nay in reply and john this should give you a bearing on what to include on your videos
@@BlackBearForge besides they can't even follow directions this was stupid of me but had to try I like all sounds of work being done IT"S the sound OF MONEY!!!!!!!!! LOL
I really enjoy your videos, thank you. I noticed you have problems with the autofocus in your cam. Have you considered using manual focus? Some cameras let you save presets for different distances so you don't need to readjust it. Just a tip...
This is very definitely a project I need to try... waaaay too many extension cords tossed in corners around my shop, and I can rarely find 'em when I actually NEED 'em! The only trick will be the swage; no block yet, so I'm going to have to find another way to fudge that. I'm certain it could be done over the horn of he anvil, but keeping it straight and even would be an absolute bear. If you have any ideas what would make a good NEGATIVE swage (ie. in order to forge into a concave form rather than over a convex one), I'm listening.....
I can recommend making one out of wood, it can be a bit rough but it works in a pinch. I like going with a piece of PVC pipe on a flat bit of laminated board draw a circle round the pipe, cut out the circle, cut the board in half and you've got yourself 2 perfect moulds, they don't last to long but they work.
7:11 Missing Jump-Cut. (7:19 actually) I could tell you were editing out your "flubs". I have wondered what that looks like ... unedited. Please keep it ... informative.
My 9 year old daughter was watching this with me and said" John should make a dvd of different things that people should know.....you would buy it wouldn't you Papa?".....what is that old expression?, From the mouths of babes????, What about it John??

You make everything look so simple, and have you over worked your anvil as it looks like the case hardening of top is cracking.On screen looks like a crack going around.,

My wife has been wanting a hose holder. I guess I know what I will be making soon. Thanks again for a nice video

Wish I would have seen this sooner lol. I just started one similar exact opposite process and have a 12" chisel cut..
Good small project, one that I am inspired to try. Also, how nice that you recognize your supporters like that, it speaks highly of you.
These will be great for my airlines for sure. Takes a lot of stress of the lines. Now I just need time to make them, LOL.
Great job John I been forging them and I got to watch this now awesome

I am truly glad to hear the videos are helping out. Forge on
Nice, with all the air / extension lines in most shops they are handy. Now if someone would use them ....lol
Wow, looks amazing. Will be next on my list to do. Very excited about this one 👍🏼 As always, well done sir
Great video!! And thanks for the good finial explanation
Definitely be making a few of these. Thanks mate. 👍👍

Such a handy tool to have in the shop and around the house.
I love all these great ideas. I try to get to the forge daily but mine is set up outside and in Florida we’ve been getting quite a bit of rain lately. Thanks again
Thanks John
Great project add 1 more thing to the list of things to do
What a great idea! I'll be stealing this.

Another great idea and another entertaining episode!
Great project!
I don't know everything still learning and I am 60 I would like to find out how to make a scoop knife for woodworking carving a bowl or cup

The real indicator is the audience retention graph that often shows a large percentage of viewers leaving a video when the filing starts.
I'm not a fan myself but it's easy enough to turn the sound down for a bit.
@@BlackBearForge : Yep, that's a pretty definitive indicator......
@@BlackBearForge You sir are so right do a lot do so if they do they are not smithy's

Is there a seller you would recommend to order myself a touchmark from?
Have you ever used those "finnials" ?? to create a persons initials??
