    Well, a traditional Japanese wooden plane with a hand forged iron seems right up your alley!

  • @nakamakai5553
    @nakamakai5553 6 років тому +1

    The pinnacle would be a dual ended hammer, flat and round - but if you begin with an axe first, great! Excellent video - I've watched many of Liam's, and I felt like I were there.

    First of all, super dope. Two of my favorite youtubers in 1 video. Secondly, you got forge a hammer. Every blacksmith needs to forge his own hammer, ala Alec Steele

  • @TrojanHorse1959
    @TrojanHorse1959 6 років тому +1

    Great video! The next tool should be a hammer or two, whatever style you need. I'd make all the tools you may need in the future first.

  • @timfowler4642
    @timfowler4642 6 років тому

    Alec and Liam should do a tag team workshop seminar and arm wrestle for the main event/ crowd draw. You could emcee and be referee.

  • @mduvigneaud

    I would love to see forging a Japanese style plane knife.

  • @LanviLauri
    @LanviLauri 6 років тому +1

    A Japanese Yarikanna! The spear-plane thingymajig :D
    That would be really awesome and I'm sure you would come up with an epic project to incorporate it with! :)
    Keep up the epic work!

  • @TheKnightrunners

    so awesome Jesse. I think you should make a Japanese style smithing hammer. or a Japanese style planing blade.

  • @MadMulberry
    @MadMulberry 6 років тому +16

    A plane blade. You can then make the plane body as well.

  • @djscotty06

  • @chrisosh9574
    @chrisosh9574 6 років тому +18

    How about a 'Chona'(adze), they produce a fantastic surface and are apparently rare ( only one smith in Japan making them).
    It would also give you a reason to make a steam box as you need to bend the handle.

  • @zepplinkin
    @zepplinkin 6 років тому

    Nice vid. So many colabs. I love it

  • @Footpathforge
    @Footpathforge 6 років тому +1

    Drawknife or Adze would be a great next tool. Awesome video!! I’m heading to my own axe making day with Paul (Toronto Blacksmith on UA-cam) in 3 weeks. Your video has me stoked even more!!! Thanks!!!!

  • @alecmcjarison999

    Hey Jesse have you finished that deck on the back of your house yet? If so what did you end up doing for the decking? The addition looks good especially with the table in it.

  • @twitchblues
    @twitchblues 6 років тому

    If you want to practice edge shape forged in bevels, I'd say a chisel or marking knife. If you just want to move a big hunk of metal, I'd say a set of hammers - though it'll take a while without a power hammer.
