- The options for making your own decorative stamps are endless. The stamp or punch I make in todays video is a fairly common style that can add an interesting touch to many of your forged pieces.

On the eightteenth day of Christmas the black bear made for me, a decorative punch, meat scewers, a hot dog fork, jingle bels, a candy dish, a paper towel holder, a menorah, BBQ tongs, a stocking hanger, a Christmas tree ornament, a cabinet pull, a dinner bell, a steak flipper, a hose hanger, a bottle opener, a candle snuffer, a nice wreath hook and a beaitifull coat hook.
Today I closed my forge of with welding curtains, as I have seen you do when you were installing the power hamer. Really keeps the cold out. I never even heard of these curtains before, great idea thank you, a lot!!! 🔥😀👍🌞
They are better than an open hole in the wall. Some day I hope for real doors.
Poor John it’s cooooold I can see his breathe! Great idea ! Today !
I am hoping Santa feels sorry for me and sends a small army of contractors to finish the shop so the heat stays in.
First words out of my mouth, light the forge!
John you are very good at explaining processes. I am learning a lot from your videos. I have been a welder for years, but I am just now starting to get into the forging and blacksmithing end of metal work.
Thanks
Mak Kaufman
We wish you a tapered Christmas....
You can sure hear the difference when the hammer hits the S7.
Exactly what I need to make.
Awesome, thank you.
cool
I got to remember this one
Thanks John another great one
Woo hoo! Thank you for picking one of my idea's. I'm wanting to make some punches soon, so I'll make one of those too 😊👍👍👍👍👍👍
Very cool
very cool
That punch came out well! Simple to make but I could see that really making some visual interest on projects.
Very nice thank you for sharing this
Well done as always. Great and useful tool!
Great videos
Fantastic, job John.
Thanks again Mr. Switzer
Another great project. Thank you for the easy explanation.
Beautiful and simple in design, John. Can't wait to see the project you are going to use it on. Keep teaching us, John.
Again I fill like I am learning
Thanks and stay safe back at you Sir.
Cool video! You’ve got yourself a new subscriber!!
Great videography, great explanations for the process. And man does that anvil sound amazing.
Good information, l need to get me some coil and leaf springs. Take care sir, and Merry Christmas to you!
I love making these generally from gr 8 bolt stock. Great gifts for sure. I hope you found your train bud, LOL ! Thumbs up fella !
Thanks for talking through steel choices some. S7 is awfully expensive!
Thanks for all the videos John, I really love this channel. I made my first bottle opener the other day for a Christmas present and I am so happy with it. Looking forward to trying the barbeque tongs when I get home! I've also been trying to source tool steel so I can make my makers mark, it will be something very similar to the flower you just made, very inspiring.
I buy most of my tool steels online
Hi John could I use a long shaft drill bit end to make one
Some great info,, think I'll hang out .. thank you
Hmmm, leather working tools come to mind.
glad to know your feet are warm but seeing your breath as you handle the steel i can't help but think your fingers are cold .
plus the swamp cooler ad is not relevant this time of year for the northerners
His fingers are much warmer than you'd think. Hot steel warms the fingers quite nicely.
Just and idea for you, maybe you should make these Christmas idea videos during the warmer months. That way you don't have to try and deal with the camera and heating the steel so much. Just set them to the side and save them to put out around Christmas. I can see how quickly your steel is cooling down and have experienced these issues my self. Pull steel out of fire, touch anvil, and hit it about 5 times with your hammer. Then it's too cold to keep going. My issues being a little different because my forge is outside and I use wood. Coal is hard to get in Louisiana without paying exorbitant prices for it or driving hours away from home. It doesn't get as cold here, but still cold is cold when it comes to sapping the heat out of your work.
What is better on a cold day than firing up the furnace and beating metal to keep you warm?
Since i will be in the shop and making videos and products year round, I am not sure it matters. Plus being able to see my breath adds to the feeling that its winter and working in a tee shirt might not.
Sure would like to have seen the hardening and tempering of the S-7 Tool Steel. Otherwise, I enjoyed the video.
There really isn't much to see. Heat to 1725 cool in air then temper. I am sure we will have a chance to cover it again in a future video.
Pretty nice thanks John, o yeah want size post vise do you have?
I think it is 6"
I found a 4 in. The guy wanted 175 dollar I thought that was a little much.
now you the sae mak hammer how are you doing with the back log and does tje misses still forge?
The backlog of orders is all caught up. My wife doesn't do any forging anymore, she is to busy weaving rugs
i want some decorative die, how i find in odisha, india
Is S7 good for knives
I wouldn't think so
It can be used but it’s not ideal. It’s a shock resistant steel so I might work ok for a khukri or a machete.
